Silver Surfer's Seventy

We know there are many older people grappling with their own computer, aware that nowadays the Internet is becoming necessary for getting things done. Picking up the phone is no longer as simple as it was, and perhaps you are becoming less mobile than you were. We saw a need for an easy-to-use website to encourage the older person to tackle the Internet. That's why we've put this site together.

We've collected over seventy tried and trusted sites, for people based in the United Kingdom. We've chosen them because they are practical, helpful and generally well designed. Our teacups rating system and brief descriptions give you an idea of how simple or complex each site is. All you have to do is click on the link in each case, and you'll be taken straight to the site we've chosen. The sites we've chosen are wherever possible free to access and many will be organisations or companies well known to you. We are not being paid to promote any of these sites.

To get started, go back to the top of the page and click on any of the page links on the left hand side. To help you navigate your way around a typical web page, click on Simple Surfing Tips

We hope this site will be of assistance to you as an older person

tackling the Internet, and we wish you success and enjoyment!

Welcome to our website for the older person. This is the original Silver Surfer's Seventy site. We are teachers of computer skills in the UK, and most of our students are over seventy. We understand how overwhelming the Internet can be if you haven't grown up with it.
