SeniorNet Kapiti Open Days Coming Up This Week.
Do you (or a friend, neighbour or family member) sometimes struggle to cope with your laptop, PC, smart phone or tablet? Has Covid-19 and its associated restrictions thrown up some IT challenges? Are you still nervous about signing up for Internet Banking or any of the many other services that we are now encouraged (required?) to access electronically?
Maybe you've never done much computing and need to start with the basics? Or are you a regular user and just want to learn how to get the most out of your device or stay up-to-date with new developments?
We deal with these issues all the time at SeniorNet and our friendly tutors are always willing to go the extra mile to help. With a comprehensive programme of courses and workshops coming up in Term 3 2022, now is a good time to get started!
If you or someone you know could do with some IT help, please come along to Coastlands tomorrow, Tuesday 26 July, between 9am and 4pm (you'll find us next to Butlers); or
Visit the Learning Centre on Saturday July 30 (10am-2pm) at 200 Matai Road, Raumati Beach, and talk to one of our tutors about how SeniorNet can help.
We would love to see you. You can find more information at kapiti.seniornet.nz or email us at: kapiti@seniornet.nz
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
