When I visited her, she would go across the street to the park, and people were there, sitting on park benches and knew each other's names. It's that sense of community that I felt was somehow lacking in our modern world. SeniorNet provides the tools, the vehicles that give older adults access. It does that by creating tutorials and Learning Centers and by training volunteers who can teach the classes. We had to build an infrastructure because there weren't places for older adult to go and learn how to use the technology.
Volunteers use our tools, our books and our tutorials, and they help people get started.
Here are people who will help you or your friends get connected and learn what this is all about. This digital world is changing very fast, and it is our goal to become a resource in cyberspace for older people. SeniorNet is an exciting place for older adults who are new to computer technology as well as for experienced users who are anxious to stay on top of the technology and continue to expand their world. Our vision is to remain a community connecting older adults with one another and sharing their knowledge with society. The most important aspect of SeniorNet is that the members are the producers.
