What its all about

Our older folk grew up in a time before computers were in common use, so for them today's technology and technology-think is a whole new world of unfamiliarity and maybe even fear.

Yet there is hardly a child these days who is not exposed to advanced technology; they can manipulate mouse and keyboard with consummate ease, and even programming a cellphone is, for them, well, child's play.

But our elders are not so lucky, having to unlearn the old familiar patterns in order to take on the new, so their challenge is greater.

We aim to teach the older folk how to communicate with the younger folk in the new mediums: texting; Skype; e-mail.
