Technology is a big part of our
lives but mainly for those of a younger age. The older generation are not so
keen on using computers to order their weekly shop, they find it easier to go
out and do it themselves. Some older people can be stubborn
about using these amazing
tools available to them, or they're simply too scared to try. My parents
often struggle with their phones and tablet and ask for help, they do try but
they can’t grasp things as quickly as I could. They like simplicity, if I try
to explain how to do online shopping or forward a message they give a blank
expression not knowing when I am talking about. This is why I feel the older
generation need support even if they can only watch a video online it’ll be
more than what they could do before.
Adult classes for using computers
are very common and often free, I feel these are essential to connecting the
older and younger generation. They can see the benefits of being connected to
everyone such as getting into regular contact with family that moved away
or even learning how to do something new.
