It's an ever-expanding collection of
stories that make us think, laugh, and learn. "Life begins at 80 ... on the
Internet," proclaims Eric. I don't read your articles because you are "the
oldest." I thought that I would never see |
Like most of my generation, I used to regard the Internet as a fearsome monster rapidly devouring the world we knew. Then at the age of 79, I bought my first computer, studied David Pogue's hilarious book The i-Mac for Dummies, and began a new life. Captivated by the magic of the World Wide Web, I began writing freelance articles about my discoveries. Some of them have been published by the New York Times, the Globe and Mail (Toronto, Canada), the Straits Times (Singapore) and the Sydney Morning Herald (Australia) plus other newspapers and magazines around the world.
You can read my stories on a dozen Web sites, including the China Daily and the Bangladesh Star. Just follow the links assembled on this page, generously set up by Barry Downs, my South African "mousemate" (a useful term he invented), of Kimberley. I hope this eBook will inspire other retirees to join the world's largest library, and share with us its magical allure.
After you have read the stories on subjects that interest you, I suggest you search other pages of the various Web sites that you are about to visit. By reading the diverse offerings of people around the world (many of whom have become my good friends) you'll catch a glimpse of that magic.
Senior citizens may enjoy reading Frank Laubach's inspiring letter.
