IV All-Russian Competition ”Thanks to Internet – 2018” has been recently announced to be started. The Competition is held among senior citizens and people with disabilities that compete in computer skills.
According to organizers of the Competition, elderly people usually feel uncomfortable using computers and the browsing internet, often because they have had no experience of them before and think they are too old to start learning. If they master it, it can bring new bright experiences to their lives, expanding their horizons and creating new opportunities for information receiving and sharing.
They can do the following using a computer and internet: apply skills and concepts for basic use of computer (hardware, software, network, and internet), communicate via email, social networking sites, search and find the needed resources (books, videos, receipts, news, etc.), connect with their friends and family at home on Skype and so on.
