COMPUTERS

Why should an elderly person know about computers?

The very attitude of neglecting to learn something because one is old is wrong and this is more important where computers are concerned. Computers can be used by elders for

Sending and receiving e-mail

Communicating with their children and grand children

Making new friends and interact with like-minded people

Reaching their business contacts

Using the Internet for information or entertainment

Storing all information relating to investments, insurance, etc

Day to day accounts

Copies of important documents etc

How can elders learn to use computers?

Computers are user friendly. Elders can easily learn to use them. Today even a 10 yr.old knows to use the e-mail and the internet. One can take the help of someone who is familiar with the use of the computer. It will just take a few hrs of practice to familiarise oneself. If there is any doubt, elders can always write down what exactly they have to do in a step by step manner.

Learn to find the things in life that keep you entertained, happy and make your life interesting and enjoyable. It could be your passion for Golf, a game of cards with friends, listening to your favourite music, your interest in pets or cooking up a lip-smacking dish.
