Following a course run in the Melbourne office of NSA, Ballarat Branch have launched this new web site.
The federal government and National Seniors Australia have both recognized the need to increase computer literacy of older Australians.
"Increasingly, the capacity for older people to participate in community activities, continue in employment, purchase goods and services is reliant on information computer technology. This is particularly true of information. Many Departments and Organisations now rely increasingly on the internet, e-bulletins and their websites to disseminate information and obtain feedback from customers and clients.
Older people are thus at a severe disadvantage if they are not computer literate
ter literacy amongst seniors. "
It is our hope that this web site will encourage greater use of the Internet by our members.
