About SeniorNet

The primary aim of the SeniorNet organisation is to demystify the new technology by conducting courses on computer applications. This provides older members of the community with the knowledge and skills.This enables them to broaden their interests, and prove to their grandchildren that they CAN do it too! A secondary aim is to provide a forum in which members can associate in an informal and friendly atmosphere to discuss their achievements and/or their problems and frustrations.

Kapiti SeniorNet

Kapiti SeniorNet Inc. was set up in February, 1997 and has obviously filled a great need for people wanting to know more about the greatest development of modern times. The membership is about 350. About 600 people have been members over that time.

Many Kapiti seniors are thus familiar with what computers and the Internet offers them by way of e.g. news, entertainment, information on virtually every subject; from almost any country and communication instantly with family, friends or other contacts around the world for minimal cost.

One doesn't need the latest in super computers to be able to access the Internet. There are millions of older computers all around the world whose owners are happily accessing the Internet.

Kapiti SeniorNet Inc. provides courses for people who may be a bit apprehensive about computers.

SeniorNet courses are available for a wide range of computer and internet skills.There are regular Question and Answer sessions where members can discuss computer issues.
