It is our belief that the Internet is potentially, a very powerful resource for older Adults & Seniors. Introducing them to the Internet is like showing them a whole new world that they can explore from the safety and privacy of their own residence. We at earlSpeak have found that after being introduced to the Internet, older Adults & Seniors embrace it as a way to keep in touch with children, grandchildren, other relatives and friends via e-mail. They also frequently use the Internet to learn and do research and to carry out transactions that simplify their lives and reduce their dependence on others. In addition to e-mail, other favorite uses for the Internet include: · Reading about news and current affairs · Gathering travel information · Exploring medical resources · Shopping and gift-buying · Banking and Investing · Playing games · Checking the weather · Participating in online discussions and chat rooms · Pursuing other educational opportunities Unfortunately, many older Adults & Seniors remain unfamiliar with computers and how to access the Internet. This is where we can help. earlSpeak's mission is to introduce the wonders of the Internet to your community. Where there is interest, earlSpeak can help its clients buy a computer, set it up, choose an Internet service provider, provide personalized one-on-one Internet tutoring at their residence and subsequent telephone support.
