Leisure time is a critical factor in the life of an aged. In the twilight years old people generally suffer from loss of role and status, and as well as a feeling of isolation and insecurity. Computer is expected to open a vista and horizon hitherto inaccessible to the graying population. A familiarity with the present computer world via Internet or e-mails can produce a mesmerizing effect on the elderlies. Even a short duration of a computer training program is likely to generate keen interest in such strata of population. |
