Technology explained at SeniorNet Open Day

 

If you are interested in learning about technology, or if your computer, smartphone or tablet seem like some dark arcane impenetrable magic understandable only to your children and grandchildren, then the SeniorNet Open Day may be a good place for you on Saturday May 21 at The Club, 10am-2pm.

The Open Day will have iPads, Android tablets and Windows 10 computers available to look at and to play with. A 3D printer will be busy printing ornaments and useful trinkets. Tutors and committee members will be present to answer questions and assist.

Course information will be available, including a presentation about SeniorNet sponsors, who offer generous discounts to members.

Call in for a tea or coffee and a chat, and see what SeniorNet can do to help you.

SeniorNet is a community training network that supports and assists people aged 50-plus to understand, enjoy and use technology in their everyday lives. They run regular courses to help operate your iPad, tablet, smartphone, software like Microsoft Office and Picasa, and Windows 10.

Help is also available in understanding how to organise your computer, find out where your files and photos have gone, and get set up so you are in control of your information – not your children or grandchildren.

Join in the fun and learn how to do everything from simple word-processing to sending emails and searching the Internet, use internet banking, organise your photos, join Facebook. In small, friendly and stress-free groups and classes, you’ll gain the skills and confidence you need to get the most out of information technology.

n Courses cost $30, membership $20 per person, couples $35. To enrol or enquire about courses please call Val 431 4042 or Tony 431 2269.
