U-Blog 3
So.. i realized today while i was at work that we are suppose to teach elderly people how to use a computer when many do not even know how to use a ATM card. On that note probably only 10% of elderly people even have an ATM card. We are suppose to teach people with not even this basic level of knowledge. I know it's not their fault, just a result of the times and how rapidly technology advances. So ,we are going to have to possibly going to start from the very beginning and work our way up to email. This is just a thought. Their are probably a lot of elderly people that do know a little about computers and a good majority that know a lot about computers. This is probably not going to be as bad as i am making it out to be, but it's just the thought of the unknown thats making me think the worst. We also need to get together as a group and discuss what needs to be done for our team to be prepared.

Tim,
ReplyDeleteI am sure these people will surpise you, while I know some will be harder than others they know they need to know this. Most even my grandmother is amazed by technology today and the fact in an instant see can see new photos of the grandkids and like you said with the ATM she doesnt have to go into the bank or wait in a long line at NBSC just to get 20 dollars out to put in a birthday card.
