There are many different reasons for the rapid expansion of this group. One that seems to be extremely prevalent is that seniors want to keep in touch with their grandchildren and to learn the same things their grandchildren are learning from computers and the Internet.

    Computer companies are beginning to realize that the elderly population is a growing market. However, the elderly themselves realized they needed more help learning and understanding the Internet long before the computer companies did. Hundreds of sites have been created to aide in that process. So do not be discouraged if you do not know a lot about the computer and the internet. You can find the help you need; it is only a click away.

An Online Business that Really Pays              Reply to this Comment

Hello, I have something to share with you that can make you money if you choose to view it. How would you like an opportunity to earn up to $3900/mo Part-time? And you know what? The best part is that there is no selling and it's "FREE" to get started. That's right NO COST to get started. You see there is a 7 day "FREE" trial so you can see how your new business will work for you and after the trial period the cost is only $10 a month. Don't believe me? Well you know "seeing is believing..." Check out my website to see for yourself. www.fasttrack.ws. You may contact me at murielle@fasttrack.ws, if you have any questions. Enjoy the information and make sure that your speakers are up...

I know there is one in Austria, but I'm sure there is a company that is closer to you. Some things you might want to consider: The computer should probably use larger fonts and have options to enlarge pictures and such. Also, it would help to have ear-phones if your father is hard of hearing, even if it is a problem in only one ear. (I have that problem, and earphones help me a lot.) Hope you found that useful.

Sean's message              Reply to this Comment

Sean, do you realize that this is a pyramid scam and is ILLEGAL!!! Shame on you for trying to coerce people into wasting their money for your own personal gain!

computer              Reply to this Comment

Most computers now a days have options to make it easier for seniors. The font can be made larger and if you get someone who knows what they are doing to set it up you can easily eliminate all the "junk" that a new computer comes with and leave the basic for easier use. That is what we did for my grandmother. I went to Wal-Mart and bought her a computer for $350 and set it up. She is 83 and has not had any problems understanding how to use it yet. I am now in the process of doing the same for my other grandparents.
