Taking computer literacy courses can help solve the growing information needs
of the elderly population. The goal of which is to optimize the process of information
adaptation of older people, to integrate the life experience of the older generation into
the life of society.
Tasks:
introduction to the possibilities of information technology;
creating platforms for constant dialogue between generations, using the life
experience of older people to educate young people;
generalization and animation of experience working with older citizens.
So, as part of a computer literacy course, it is possible for older people to
become acquainted with:
architecture of a personal computer and a modern mobile phone,
operating system capabilities and programs,
text editor Word,
search capabilities of the Internet,
receiving electronic services using the State Services website,
work in personal accounts of banks and the basics of Internet security,
communication using email, social networks and various instant messengers.
opportunities to conduct and participate in video conferences,
using the advantages of online stores and delivery services.
Despite the obvious convenience of information technology, interest in new
things and understanding of the importance of using computer technology in modern
life among older people is met with some conservatism, which is due to many factors,
including:
long-term focus on knowledge acquired during student years and work, while
people who have worked for more than 20 years are not taught how to use computer
technology in their professional activities and everyday life;
stereotype of behavior when, achieving certain results without using
computers, people are not interested in changing their professional and daily
activities. [5]
Thus, the tasks of additional education institutions working with older people,
as part of a computer literacy course, include introducing them to the possibilities of
digital technologies and overcoming conservatism in relation to the use of
information technologies in professional and everyday activities.
