HBO @ Noon: Senior Computer Primer

Item: Seniors tackle, master basics in Computer Kindergarten: As easy as tying your shoes/Cindy Hval, SR Voices

More Info: This three-day computer class is designed to introduce novices to the world of Windows, keyboards and mysterious icons. Fender teaches at the Hillyard Center and said he’s instructed students from age 55-90. Older students are often “afraid of the computer,” he said, because they haven’t used one. But according to Fender, “They’re the largest new group of computer users.”

Question: Do you plan to learn a new/different skill after you retire?
