Still There are “ Big 2 Walls”
１ Wall in the Mind
ICT is too difficult to use for seniors?
Not only Seniors, but also their family think“ Old people are impossible or dangerous
to use PC and online service.
２ Wall in the Society
Very few school, text, teacher for older adults.

So, we support “ FREE” and “ FUN” Lesson
Of PCs and Internet for Older adults
