Far be it for me to tell you what to do , but that is one of the wonderful things about The Villages. Finding all the new and wonderful things to do. I have a home I rent out in the winter and everyone who rents it always asks if it has wifi. I don't think I could rent it without it. I must tell you a funny story about the elderly and electronics. I got my mother a cell phone (very simple one)incase she would need to get ahold of me for anything . She would not turn it on or take it with her. I turned it on for her once and it was on vibrate (dad is hard of hearing) when it went off she threw it because she said it was shocking her and never touched it again. Some of the elderly just can't grasp some of these things we use everyday.
