Computers
A computer can be a very useful tool. It can help if you have difficulty writing. If you are blind or partially sighted screen readers can read text aloud and help you write. They can also be useful for doing things like household accounts. You can also use a computer to use the internet and send emails.
Email and the internet
More and more people are using the internet and the number of older users is growing all the time. It is a huge source of information and can help you do all sorts of things such as researching something you’re interested in, shopping, booking a holiday or checking your train is on time. You can also use the Internet to send electronic mail or email which allows you to keep in touch with friends or family across the world quickly and cheaply.
