For Seniors
You do not need to understand computers to stay safe on one. Each lesson below is a short story or a captioned video about something that really happens — and what to do when it happens to you.
- Nothing plays on its own. You press play when you are ready.
- Every video has subtitles and a written version you can print.
- There is never a quiz, and you can stop halfway through.
