The Internet changes the way we shop, we communicate with each other and much more. But some older people are being left behind because they are not able to use a computer.
1 Several charities now help older people to get online. Paul Robinson set up one such charity—Seniors Online.
Paul worked for an IT company before deciding to leave his well-paid job and start the charity. He explains, “I used to teach some older people to use the Internet a few hours a week at the library. 2 Older people can be quite lonely when their children move away to find work and start a family of their own. Learning how to use email is a wonderful experience for them. So I gave up my job and started Seniors Online. 3 ”
One student is 89-year-old Betty. She joined one of the classes. 4 “I joined a class so I could learn how to send emails,” she says. “Using a computer was a little hard at first because you think you’ll do something terrible if you press the wrong key. 5 I think people of my age should take such classes.”
