     Stay Current With Today's Technology!

Computers and the Internet offer a vast and unique opportunity to enrich the lives of those fortunate enough to have the ability to use them. 

Current generations have been exposed to computers since childhood and take them for granted, but our senior generation has been virtually forgotten by the information technology society. 

During a recent visit to a retirement community in Florida, I witnessed firsthand the desire our seniors have to "get connected". I realized a service was needed to help our seasoned citizens become familiar with computers, and do so in a low key, peer group setting.  To accomplish this, I have developed an Introduction to Computers class, specifically designed for Seasoned Citizens. The class includes an introduction to computers, Microsoft Word, the Internet, and E-mail. The class is 8 hours long and may be split over two 4-hour days if preferred. The classes are purposely kept small, with a maximum of ten students per class. These classes will be held at your location and I will supply the computers if necessary (I can hold the classes at my location, but they will be limited to four students). 

Seniors do much better in a peer group setting and the class will proceed at a pace geared toward the inexperienced, older user. I will also offer 30 days of free e-mail support to those who participate in the class. 

For those unable to attend a class I will offer individual instruction at their location (or mine) on a limited basis. Again, I will supply the computer if necessary. Individual instruction is offered in the form of packages, that may be customized to suit different needs. The packages consist of Word Processing, the Internet, e-mail, or any combination of those.

As the world continues to become more dependent on e-mail and the Web, the pressure for senior citizens to stay in touch using this technology continues to grow. As one spokesperson for a Senior Citizen Center that offers classes stated "As long as we offer the introduction class, we will always have enough sign ups. Our seniors truly want to be a part of the computer age and computer technology."
