North Lincolnshire Council spokeswoman, said:
�itea and biscuits week is a great way for people in later life with little or no experience of technology to get a taste of what the Internet and other digital technology can offer them. Even if you have never been online before, come along and give it a go - it really isn�t as hard as you might think!
�The internet can provide great benefits, from being able to keep in contact with friends and family more easily, making savings online, to pursuing and taking up hobbies.
�We�re inviting people to book a 45-minute slot, where they can get one-to-one help with any aspect of going online - even if it�s just to get started. Places can be booked by Riddings Library on 01724 865412 - or pop in and reserve a slot in person.�
Age UK are also asking people of all ages with IT skills to pledge to help an older person to learn how to use digital technologies such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and digital cameras.

Visit Scunthorpe is North Lincolnshire's only truly independent, non commercial, community news web site.
Established in January 2010 we have lots of members with a wide range of views who all contribute
independently with articles of their own.
You won't find dozens of adverts covering our site, or some poor attempt to promote local business services under the guise of offering a community service.
Here on VisitScunthorpe we are interested in just one thing, building an online community which is representative of the people of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire and the surrounding area.
