Emerson Radio Jumbo Triple Display
The holidays are approaching. What should you get for the special senior in your life who seems to have everything?
 
Now is the time to propel the seniors in your life into the technological present. If you want to stay on good terms, consider gadgets that will actually make their lives easier and less complicated.
 
One kind consideration is a “Smart Clock Radio”, such as the Emerson Radio Jumbo Triple Display Dual Alarm AM/FM Clock Radio with SmartSet Technology. These clocks have the standard features (e.g., alarms for weekdays and weekends, snooze, display dimmer) but also boast very large LED display screens that can be read from across the room.
           
But the best perk of all, and the reason for that “SmartSet” moniker, is the “Patented SmartSet Automatic Time Setting System.” When the lucky gift recipient first plugs in the phone, the clock automatically sets itself to the current time. During daylight savings time, the phone is one step ahead of its owner. And in the event of a blackout, the clock automatically resets once the power come back on. No need to read the manual or bother with small, pesky buttons. All he or she has to do is plug it in.
            
Which all makes for a smart clock. And, more importantly, a smart and kind gift giver.
