Unmarried women are one of the fastestgrowing groups in America;experts are concerned about how caregiving will be managed for them as they age.If the experience of Baer’s friends is a guide,the Internet will play a role.It’s already making it possible to create communities of caregivers who may have only one thing in common:the person who needs their help.On personal “care pages” set up through services such as Lotsa Helping Hands,friends and family members can post a list of tasks that need to be done,volunteer to do them,and keep updated on the person’s condition.As Baer’s cancer progressed,for example,her friends set up a page on Yahoo!where people could sign up to deliver meals or do errands (差事).
Catherine Fox,one of the friends who were present when Baer died,was deeply affected.“It was so comforting to know that if you’re willing to ask for help,the generosity of family and friends can be phenomenal (显著的).It makes me feel secure and hopeful to know that help is there when you need it.”
