Kids urged to teach the elderly internet skills

By

Children are being encouraged to teach their grandparents to use the internet to help close the digital divide. With the internet becoming a place to file for emergency aid, shop, and keep in touch with loved ones it makes common sense to help our elders.

A special website has been launched with tools, advice and activities to assist children to help their grandparents to get the most from the internet.
“With the internet becoming the communication tool of choice for fundamental services like medical information and education, the digitally excluded will be significantly disadvantaged when trying to access services and information,” said BT head of digital inclusion, Mike Hughes.
