Come on, you Silver Surfers, show your stuff!

The Age UK internet champion of the year competition is advertised in my local paper, never heard of it, but there is still time for all over -55s to enter - have a look at the entry info on http://www.ageuk.org.uk/internet-champions

Apparently, over-65s using the internet has increased from 18% in 2006 to 40% in 2010 but a whole bunch of older people still need to be championed to get on-line.

Go for it!

I wonder if it's occurred to them that the people who invented the PC, The laser printer, the Ink jet printer, the router, the modem, the internet, the world wide web, Windows, Apple, etc, etc, etc, are all over 55?

I'm reviving this one as I posted it on Sunday when people's minds were vexed with other things - still a few days to go, if anyone over 65 wants to enter!

I started using the tinternet in 1999. I was 49. Still use it daily at 60 years old. My late father used it at 85.
