Golden Nugget of information about computers for 50+ bracket

Computer demographics; Stats Canada tracks everything
Learn about technology at Southgate Centre in Woodstock
By Mark Schadenberg
Statistics Canada tracks everything, but it can all be wrapped up under the term demographics – who does what, in what age group and with how much money do they earn, and where do they live.
With this in mind, and knowing that the internet world continues to flourish in its overall reach, it is becoming more and more obvious that the ‘reach’ of technology to the 70-plus bracket is exploding, or actually has exploded but is now fully realized by the marketing world understanding who is buying computers and ordering online internet services.
SOUTHGATE CENTRE - Woodstock
If you would like to learn about computers, the Southgate Centre at the edge of Southside Park in Woodstock is a great place to call (539-9817).
Southgate (www.southgatectr.ca) at 191 Old Wellington St South is a club for active adults 50+, and they feature countless activities – fitness to woodworking, and card tournaments to day trips, but if computer knowledge is something you hope to attain, check out pages 11-12 in their latest newsletter, the Golden Nugget. The woman who teaches some of the computer club courses is a retired high school computer teacher.
In the meantime, as we know, the computer era has reached a point where a four-year-old can navigate an IPAD better than they can tie their shoes, and folks of all ages email, Google recipes, stay in contact with friends through social media, research a family tree, watch music videos, buy and sell stuff (Kijiji and Amazon), and read newspapers from around the world.
Here is a good CTV news story about computer demographics:
