Today more and more seniors are going online, mostly to keep up with family spreadout all over the country. I now speak with seniors who are sharing photos online with their grand children or connecting on Facebook. Once a senior gets hook there is no going back.

So many transaction are now being done online, and I suspect in the near future in some cases we won't have a choice.

With that in mind I was please to see that the Germantown Library will be holding a series of talk to help seniors with their home computing, the series is called Techincally Speaking

When: March 30th and April 6th

Time: 11 AM

Contact: 518-537-5800 call to reserve a spot

Where: Germantown Library | 50 Palatine Park Road

A good program indeed and one that most seniors will not only benefit but enjoy; thanks for sharing Jennifer.

Jennifer ~ Even with age, seniors can still learn to use the internet. I saw on TV a woman in a nursing home using Skype to contact her friends overseas at 105 years old... she rocks!

Jennifer, I am probably one of the least tech savvy people I know. But, one of the places I volunteer is at my nearby senior center to help with computer skills. The people LOVE it when they get a chance to "turn on" the computer - not boot it up. It's all about talking to them in real English and not techno speak.

Howdy and evening Jennifer

Jennifer my friend, home computing event classes sure are mighty helpful for Seniors, to be able to learn even more about computing, plus to keep their info safe online.

Have a good one

Jennifer, We have a draft of computer learning for seniors too and thought it was a worthwhile event to spread the word on. We too are experiencing working with seniors who are getting more and more adept at working their computers...but of course we'll never catch up to how fast kids learn this stuff!
