Via the All Ages Are Obedient to Network programme, specialists have concluded that increasing numbers of those aged 55 and older are using Internet retailers. Every third student taking part notes that they’d like to order goods and food for home delivery. Over 67 percent of those polled believe that everyone should learn how to pay for utility services online and how to find pharmaceutical medications.

Social networks, messengers and other programmes continue to arouse interest, enabling calls and message exchange with relatives and friends. Around 80 percent of students within the All Ages Are Obedient to Network programme say that they’d like to use Skype, and create their own profiles in Odnoklassniki and Facebook. Many are also keen to use their computer and the Internet independently. The programme’s specially developed study guide helps those of elderly age in learning IT skills, taking into account their psychological state.
