Computer Classes for Seniors

SeniorNet Computer Classes: Willows Senior Center

If you are reading this, you just might be well along the learning curve for the Information Age. But there may be a lot more to learn that will make your computer so much more useful, and fun.

There is no question that access to the Internet has become our window on the world and puts an unbelievable amount of information literally at our fingertips. Regardless of the scope of our interest in daily activities, from worldwide politics to local Willow Glen book signings, the Internet is the most comprehensive and the most accessible source of information.

And communication!!!! I once proposed that we change the name “computer” to “communicator” since the greatest usage of the PC is really communicating with family, friends, and just about anyone. But no takers!!

And once you have your PC, there are so many ways it can be used to support your other activities. Downloading pictures from your digital camera, and emailing them to family anywhere in the world can be come the easiest way to preserve and share memories. And buying a book online, or making travel reservations online, or just checking the latest sports scores and schedules and be done quickly and accurately with very minimal effort.
The SeniorNet classes are designed for people over 50 and you can select from a wide range of courses that will complement your existing knowledge. So whether you are a computer novice, or already have a good start along this path, there will be SeniorNet courses that will be valuable, and fun, for you. And they are held locally at the Willows Senior Center at 2175 Lincoln Ave. Check at http://www.snlcsj.org/ for specific information.
