Ageing with attitude: Using technology makes the world of difference for older people

Jim Roche, who recently completed an Age Action computer course, talks to Margaret Jennings about learning to use the internet and the new worlds it has opened for him.

“I THOUGHT — the old fashioned way — that I could leave technology behind me, that it was like an evilness taking over the world or something, but I was so wrong.

"It has improved my whole quality of life. It has opened up a whole new world for me going forward. And to tell you the truth, I’m ashamed at myself for not getting with it, before now.”
