“CYBERWISE IS A DIGITAL LEARNING HUB COMPRISED OF SHORT,

ENTERTAINING VIDEOS, E-BOOKS, WEBINARS, AND OTHER RESOURCES

THAT HELP BUSY ADULTS BECOME DIGITALLY LITERATE. WHY? TODAY

MANY GROWNUPS ARE BEING LEFT BEHIND WITH POOR OR NON-EXISTENT

DIGITAL SKILLS” (PITCH, 2012).

“ACCORDING TO FIGURES FROM LAST MONTH’S OXFORD INTERNET

SURVEY, INTERNET USE AMONG PEOPLE AGED 65 AND OVER SITS AT ONLY

ABOUT 30% AND HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH SINCE 2005, DESPITE

CAMPAIGNS TO GET MORE OLDER PEOPLE CONNECTED. THIS COMPARES

WITH 85% OF PEOPLE OF WORKING AGE AND 99% OF STUDENTS”

(JELLINEK, 2012).
