“There are three kinds of seniors \u2026 those who know IT and enjoy every minute of it. Those who understand what IT are about but do not know the good and bad about IT and the Internet. I call this group as \u201cdriving blindly through the Internet\u201d and many have got their fingers burnt. This is the second kind. The third kind of seniors is those who heard about the usefulness of IT and the smart devices (smartphones, tablets), never use the Internet and do not know how or where to start.”<\/p>\n
I propose now with my limited resource and budget, to start, in a small way, and make a difference to the third kind of seniors. For those first and second kinds of seniors, if you have any friend interested and willing to take the challenge, do let them know.<\/p>\n
The details \u2026<\/p>\n

\nFor who: The third kind of seniors or those who just bought a laptop or iPad\/tablet and\/or a smartphone with data plan or just know how to do simple email.
\nEligibility: Must own a laptop or iPad \/ tablet or a smartphone with data plan.
\nDuration: Weekly (every Thursday) for 12 weeks.
\nTime: 3PM to 5PM
