Are we EVER too old?

04:49 | Posted by | | Edit Post
It is sometimes suggested that older people might have less use for ICT than their younger counterparts?  A recent 'taster session' by the team in Flint certainly turns this thinking on its head. We will simply post the link here to a brief YouTube clip of Evelyn, aged 100 years, being given the opportunity to speak to her niece in France via Skype, and leave people to make their own minds up.

Welcome to a Digital Age

10:04 | Posted by | | Edit Post
Get Online Wrexham Flintshire is set up to provide people who would not normally be able to access the internet with the means to do so. In this Digital Age it is important to realise the implications of NOT being online.
If you are reading this blog then necessarily you are not the sort of person we are trying to reach necessarily however, you could be a link to people in the community who are digitally excluded.

Do you know someone who could benefit from learning about computers or the Internet? How much do YOU understand about the way we have gone digital?

Watch this video about the Social Media Revolution, and be astounded!

About

Get Online Wrexham Flintshire is a cross-county collaboration between both local authorities and CVCs to deliver Digital Inclusion in the region.
It is part of an overall Digital Inclusion Strategy from Welsh Government that funds Communities 2.0, an all-Wales project.

There are over 70,000 people classed as being digitally excluded in that they either have no access to or ability to use the internet or computers in general and this puts them at a great disadvantage in a digital age.
The team works across both counties to deliver training and engagement sessions to promote the use of online facilities such as information websites and shopping.
