From time to time you’ll need to clean your LCD monitor to get the smudges and fingerprints off of the window.

Greenwood Commonwealth: Learning at Any Age

imageJohn Giesemann of the Mississippi State University Extension Service hopes to help other older adults learn how technology can enhance their lives, whether it is staying in touch with family or giving them skills to return to work.

He has been traveling across the state for 25 years teaching people how to do everything from opening a program and saving a file to sending e-mails and uploading pictures.

“I teach a lot of senior citizens because for a lot of them, they have just been given their first computer by the children or grandchildren,” Giesemann said. “Unlike kids, they need someone to go step by step with them while they learn or they will get frustrated.”
