Computers made easy (for seniors)
Filed Under Technology
When I was teaching at a local High School a couple of months ago, I once asked a student what he thinks about computers. He said, “It is easy to use but hard to teach.” That was a nice notation. I dug deeper. He followed up by saying, “My grandpa hates using it. I taught him how to use it and he nearly busted it.”
That was the sad part. I always thought that technology is there to help everyone and not just people who are there when technology arrived. It is the duty of those who invented it or those who have enough knowledge to share it to everyone especially the senior citizens. The computer has a lot of things that it can do to make the job easier and less complicated. It is good for a senior to have knowledge on how to use it so that they would be able to explore and learn different things.
I searched for websites that offer help to seniors. It is good that there are sites that can help. For starters, try going to: http://www.csuchico.edu/~rsheridan/seniors/computing2.html#RES! they have great resources that would make computing fun and easy.
