From Sixty to Six Feet Under With Roku



From Sixty to Six Feet Under



The Baby Boomer generation is now retiring in mass. As they prepare to enter the final phase of their lives, soon many seniors will be faced with the reality that their careers which they spent a large portion of their lives working on and perfecting is over.






Besides dealing with one of the most difficult transitions of their life, the loss of the day to day interactions of a social network of workplace friends and acquaintances, many which they may have worked with their entire life, will also have a large impact.

Many seniors may also be reeling with the loss of friends or loved ones or those who are facing life altering illnesses like cancer, diabetes, strokes, heart attacks and more. This will also have a huge impact on their lives.

A lot of retirees and seniors may be ill-equipped to deal with this because our culture has trouble talking about and confronting unpleasant subjects. We would much rather chat about the latest movies, football scores, or other things that are a hundred times more pleasant.

My father was a proud and fiercely independent man. Watching him progress through his final years, the one thing he said that struck me the hardest was: "I feel so useless." He was physically unable to do even the simple things he once loved when he became dependent on us to care for him.

As a society, we will need to collectively brain storm to come up with ways to make our senior family members, friends and neighbors find new meaning and purpose as they go through what for many could end up being one of the most difficult periods of their lives.

Hopefully, we can find ways to add brightness and bring a little more cheer to those among us whose lives may be dull,  filled with loneliness or shattered by pain.


Roku Can Help


If you or someone you love is going through tough times and want to interact with a great group of friendly and helpful people from all ages, we urge you to join our Roku Rocks Facebook group. We have many wonderful seniors in our group which have learned the value of owning a Roku media streamer and are happy to share their knowledge with others.

On Roku there are many channels available covering a wide range of subjects like Faith, Movies, TV Shows, Pets, Family and much more. Many of these channels are 100% FREE so if you are on a tight budget and have access to the Internet, you will find owning a Roku can save you a lot of money by eliminating your expensive cable TV bill.

You will also find a Roku is very easy to use and much more enjoyable to watch than regular TV as well. You can buy a Roku in the entertainment section of every Walmart. You can also order one on Amazon. Roku now even sells TV's with the software already built in. Popular models are the Roku Ultra, and Roku Stick + because they are both 4K ready and will work with every current Roku channel.

If you need help setting up your new Roku, don't call a phone number you may find on Google as they will charge you a lot of money to help you.

Setting up a new Roku is FREE. If you run into any problems, be sure to ask in our Roku Rocks group and we can help you get your Roku linked and setup in no time.







Roku Channel Developers


Building Roku Channels that benefit seniors and boomers could be very popular. The baby boomer generation represents nearly 20% of the American public. Developing Roku channels that appeal to Seniors and especially this generation and helps them deal with some of the issues they may be facing can give you a large audience hungry for your content.


It's the final chapter of another great generation and it's up to all of us how well it will be written.
