Using the Internet Safely for Seniors for Dummies
At the moment I write this I am 64 years old. That makes me a so-called senior citizen, and as 
such I am generously allowed the odd senior moment. I certainly make good use of this privilege: every now and then such a moment seems more like a senior year! Anyway, I wasn’t brought up with computers: I got my first one in 1988 when I was 42. I still remember the machine: Amstrad was his name, hurrying along at the amazing speed of 9Mhz, while the RAM memory consisted of an utterly astonishing 520K!
In the years that passed, somehow the relationship between my computer and me seems to have been reversed: right now it’s me who hasn’t much more memory than 500K, while the impressive computer that hisses contentedly beneath my desk owns 4 Gigs of the stuff… or 6… or even 8… I forgot the exact amount. It’s for ancient geezers like me (and gals, of course!) that books like the one in this post have been published. For we must admit: when it comes to computers we’re not only seniors, but also (more or less) dummies.
