meg4 - 11 October was Senior's Week in Victoria, and to celebrate, Discovery Centre at Melbourne Museum offered a series of 'Internet for Seniors' sessions, where seniors had the opportunity to come into the centre for a two-hour session to learn about and practice on those new-fangled computer-machines and that 'information-superhighway' (as one of our distinguished students called it) that is the internet.
Although many came into the sessions with deep concerns, for example that they might break the internet, our seniors came away fom the sessions having proved that its never too late to learn a new skill and with an expanded vocabulary including such new words as 'website', 'email', 'blog', 'laptop' and 'mouse'.
Well, mouse isn't quite a new word, but hopefully if they understood its alternative meaning correctly they won't go home and try and sick the cat onto it...
