Are you a senior citizen who is clueless about technology or if your parents don’t know how to use Whatsapp and are unable to communicate with grandchildren, then we recommend you checkout these free workshops.
In most families, a smart phone is usually gifted to the elderly person but the family doesn’t have the time to teach them how to operate it. Older people are often intimidated and overwhelmed by all the new technology around them – smartphones, social media, tablets, banking machines. Being in the digital age, there’s no avoiding technology.

Most senior citizens, who are gifted a smartphone are worried that they would “accidentally touch” some wrong icon/button and the expensive phone will stop working.
Thankfully for them, they all can now attend classes where seniors can get familiar with modern technology.
These workshops help senior citizens become more independent in the digital era by teaching them how to operate smart phone and computers. This exercise helps to calm down, gives a sense of confidence, motivating them to learn further. Senior citizens learn to use Skype & WhatsApp and stay connected with their families. They learn how to use popular apps and how to safely execute net-banking and other online transactions.
The fact that the interface varies a little in each handset, website, and mobile app adds to the challenge for the elderly. But these classes are for around a month and they get ample practice time.
Classes in some areas are free, but in certain areas there’s a fee (Rs 3k-4k for a period of one-and-a-half months in areas like Juhu, Bandra and Andheri).
