Using the Internet and Computers to Stay Connected and Have Fun
If you are disabled or if your mobility is limited, the computer can offer you a way to stay connected and to keep the ties to friends and family strong. Today, it is not necessary to own a computer to stay connected. Many Senior Centers have computers available and provide instruction on their use - often for free. Public libraries also offer free computer access. And, what grandkid wouldn't want to show you what he or she knows by helping you learn to use e-mail (electronic mail) or shop online. Don't become isolated. Reach out. Two of our Senior Centers in Region J are a designated SeniorNet Learning Center. SeniorNet is a nonprofit organization of computer-using adults, age 50 and older. SeniorNet members learn and teach others to use computers and communications technologies to accomplish a variety of tasks. They learn to touch up photos and send and receive them in email, to desktop publish anything from a newsletter to an autobiography, manage personal and financial records, communicate with others across the country and the world and serve their communities. The Senior Net website offers a discussion forum called the Senior Net Round Tables to help seniors discuss issues, share, and learn computer techniques and skills.
