This task requires you to invest time with the local community in explaining how they can access digital technology and services for their benefit. E.g., banking services, government services, training programs, use of social media, etc.

Tech people should create a combination of mobile and tablet computer where internet is accessed via wifi so lot of learning (for hours) can be done at a low cost by the population in general.

Government should provide free wifi to all students. companies like this are producing huge database of FREE iClassses or internet classes to support/replace school classes. Students, women, older adults all can learn on their phones or computers. Classes on use of computers, English, math, Science, Biology, Family health, astronomy etc. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=iclasses+ajmer

I could motivate so many to join computer,Use of ATM card for their use. Asked ladies to learn the subject from children to begin with. Children are taught computer from the very beginning.So not to shy away ,as I also learnt from them at this age.And I feel confident to use it for my interest in writing and reading. Earlier I would do my writing on pen and paper but now I have started posting on digital way. Its quick delivery. Response or feedback is also quick so to say.

Linkedin is one more site to put your profile to get the right kind of jobs. School and College going students need to be shared with all the available information.Job searching again a click away. Even interviews are conducted through phones and use of skype. Calls and conferences are too done with the use digital technology. People need not be present at one place to attend conference. That's the technology 's benefit so to say. Save of time & money helps to produce better results .

Facebook,twitter,mails,what's up,Viber,Skype has got everyone closer. The best and faster way to share information,update your status with your friends and colleagues so to say. Your friends staying far off also gets connected by just a click on search button. Surfing any query is so easy. Easy checks are available for authenticity. Home delivery has come out as a boon for working people. Name a thing and its at your door.What more people can ask for beyond this digital technology?

Ladies are to be motivated too. As they tend to take a back seat. They feel after marriage nothing is important except the care of family and children . During gathering I talk to ladies to learn as much as they can. As there is no age for learning.Is should be continuous process as there is so much to learn in this world. One life is not enough.So instead of gossiping around one must imbibe new ways to remain connected with new generation.why should one feel small or look inferior in others eye

Its just a matter of will power. Nothing is impossible in today's date. Life has become so easy and simple by digital use. You can avoid going to the bank, money transfer,booking shows,bill payment and so on.Time is precious.Everyone has lot to do instead of wasting time in commuting & standing in a queue for long. Its all a click away. These days children go to abroad for studies & jobs. So if you learn to use digital technology it will help each one to save money still remain connected.

The best way to teach by giving your own example. As we all should practice what we preach. Like I quote my own example to all the ladies to learn computer. I share my experience as how my daughter helped me to learn from distance training. Be it a phone call or using Skype. Its true ,we r just a call away. She asked me to use computer without fear as there is a back or escape button to avoid fear of getting stuck. Since then there is no looking back. Skype & viber help us to talk free and seen2

I'm going to invest at least an hour or two per week for two weeks towards teaching others (at least five people) how to perform basic to mid-advanced tasks with the computer. This would include sending emails, web browsing and online payments to start with. If it works well, I would teach more people from the forthcoming weeks.
