New computers and internet access for seniors in Keysborough
The Keysborough Learning Centre has received two new state-of-the-art computers and broadband internet connection as part of the Federal Government’s Broadband for Seniors program.
Mark Dreyfus, Federal Member for Isaacs, was at Keysborough Learning Centre to launch the internet kiosk, which gives seniors in the local community access to the internet and tutors to assist with navigating the world wide web.
“As someone who was not brought up with computers or the internet in my youth, I understand how important it is for people older than 40 to have access to computers and the internet – and learn how to use it,” Mark Dreyfus said.
“Only one in five Australians over the age of 65 currently use the internet, and the Federal Government is committed to responding to the needs of seniors who want access and training using the internet.”
“This kiosk will allow seniors in Keysborough to gain confidence in using new technology, communicate with their family and friends online, do day-to-day tasks like online banking and keep up to date with news and current affairs as they happen,” Mark Dreyfus said.
