ICT and pensioners in rural England

i think techonology does has a genuine impact on the couples lives because it allows them to do things like shopping from home now and if they need to contct people while they are out they can easily now instead of having to wait until they get in to be able to phone anyone. also they can save time by doing things like booking holidays online which will also save money on most websites and even get you better deals than going to the travel agents to book a holiday. there lives would not be too much poorer if they did not have ict because they do not use it enough for it too make too much of a difference to their normal lives, and since they have not used it most of their lives they would just continue how they were. i think the community centre would still be helpful as they can learn stuff in person there instead of trying to buy programs or guides that show you how to use a computer so they will have better practise at using one.
