INTERNET FOR THE PERPLEXED
A series of talks and demonstrations by Bill Hayles, retired Adult Education Tutor, at The Oasis Centre, Javea.
Alternate Saturdays, 1030 to 1230. Free Admission.
Who are these sessions for?
The sessions are intended for those who either have absolutely no knowledge of computers and the Internet, or, at best, whose knowledge is extremely limited. No prior knowledge is required or expected.
What are the aims of the sessions?
The aims of the sessions are to debunk the myth that computers and the Internet are difficult and not suitable for older people, and to give confidence in the use of modern technology.
What are the objectives of the sessions?
After attending a few sessions, you should have at least a basic knowledge of Internet useage and terminology, which will hopefully enourage you to start using the Internet for yourself.
(Very) Provisional Schedule.
All meetings will have time for questions and problems unconnected with the topic of the day.
