Senior surfers using laptop computerCompletely new to Computing or the Internet?

There are a number of books written for seniors that will help you develop a basic understanding of computing and the Internet. The books are not expensive but before paying out money it could make sense to first check out the free resources that are available through the Internet. To start you off we suggest that initially you watch some of the videos on senior surfers that are available on You Tube.

According to Miss ML Fox who is chairperson of the Government's Digital Inclusion Task Force "10 million people in the UK have never used the Internet" and 40% of that number are from the most socially and economically disadvantaged.

At Astute Shopping it is clear to us that households that do not have Internet access are unable to take advantage of savings that are available by paying, booking and buying online. For example:

We could of course provide many more examples.

Also without internet access you are unable to shop around for the best deals or use online comparison shopping services such as Astute Shopping - with the exception of products of an adult nature or tobacco we feature in our price comparisons almost everything including Vitamins & Supplements and even Tickets for the theatre, concerts, theme parks, sporting events etc. Once you have found the best price on what you want to buy we also make it easy to check for any additional discounts that might be available by way of voucher codes or special offer. According to a recent report families could enjoy savings of as much as £560 per year by paying bills and shopping online.

Many people new to the internet simply give up because they are unable to find really useful or interesting web sites. Ok you might think about the BBC or Sky for news or current affairs but what about other sites that are easy to use and which provide information or entertainment that will get you to keep logging-on and then of course to go out and surf the web to find other sites of interest. There are of course literally thousands of web sites out there and it is our intention, when we come across a site that we think could be of interest to silver surfers, to post a link in this area of our website.

For Television
BBC iPlayer

For Films & Videos
Blinkbox
You Tube

While we list the above sites as examples of what can be found when surfing the web, Astute Shopping is not recommending these sites nor can we take any responsibility for their content.
