Older Australians are increasingly connecting to the internet with around 80 per cent of people over the age of 65 now online.
The main reason is to keep in contact with family and friends by email and video calls like Skype and Facetime.
Use of social media by older Australians is also increasing with more than 40 per cent of seniors on Facebook and other social media platforms.
The main reason seniors don’t go online as much as they could is a lack of confidence and concerns about their security.
Brisbane Seniors OnLine can help.
For the cost of a cup of coffee per lesson we can provide one-on-one support in your home using your own computer. They use patient volunteer mentors to make sure your safety online isn’t compromised and give you the confidence to make the best use of your smartphone or computer.
