You’re really content with the way things are in your social scenario. The Internet has given you that satisfaction. Therefore, almost every old friend is in touch with you and just about every family member too. But just about. So who would those exceptions usually be? The most obvious would be the elders in your family. That’s one crowd that may take a protracted time span to learn the ways of computers and emailing. Teach them how to email and their interest in computers will be generated automatically. Take the initiative and set up an email account for them yourself.

You start off first by being really patient and sensitive with them. At their age, they aren’t as sharp as you are. Find out about their preferences of an email address and the provider they’d like. In all likelihood, they wouldn’t have much of an idea. In such a circumstance, you give them a lowdown of the Internet and its players, and what could suit them best. When you finally decide on a provider, make sure you get an account with good features and a large storage space. They may not remember to delete mails frequently.

The next step would be to demonstrate how it’s done. Also, tell them how important it is to use a password that’s hard to crack (not so difficult that they can’t remember it either). Make them go through the process themselves, so they know what to do if they are interested in creating another email account later.

Most significantly, warn them about strange mails and junk. Elders can be quite vulnerable and naive to unknown and harmful security invaders. Elderly email can be made easy through some senior-friendly software that is built to their requirements. It could be the best bet for seniors
