by Hayden Spiess

By Hayden Spiess Baby boomers, who form the incoming wave of seniors housing residents, have witnessed remarkable — some might say dizzying — technological leaps in their lifetimes. Born between 1946 and 1964, baby boomers have begun to turn 80 this year. The oldest among the generation were born even before the microwave had been brought into existence (in 1947).  Now, fewer than 100 years later, innovations have enabled everything from artificial intelligence (AI) capable of carrying on conversations to self-driving cars.  Senior living specifically has seen its own surge …
