DO the words: email, internet or laptop fill you with dread? Do you know what a folder is, apart from possibly someone that works in a laundry? Does ‘doing a backup to the cloud,’ sound like something that is potentially painful and needs an umbrella?
Do you want to get more out of your computer, be confident in browsing the internet, sending emails or using social media? Well help is at hand, whether it’s a desktop, laptop, iPad, tablet, smart phone, or something even more exotic. Wiltshire Online’s Digital Champion volunteers are here to help with free, basic computer support.
Phil Chipper explains, “There is a local network of computer savvy volunteers like myself, who can provide help with your computer questions, either on a one to one, or group basis. I’ve spent a very interesting year being a Wiltshire Online Digital Champion in the Melksham area. During that time I have helped a number of people with how to use email, browse on the net, and generally get to understand their computers better.
“So, if you’d like to improve your ability or confidence and get more immersed in today’s digital world, then I’m sure we can help you realise that ambition.”
Wiltshire Online is an initiative provided by Wiltshire Council and if you would like some free help, please ring: 01225 793349 to register. Further information about the project can also be found on www.wiltshireonline.org.
