Mouse Mobile advises free of charge
What to do when a new smartphone or tablet for grandma or grandpa was under the Christmas tree or on the birthday table, but there is a lack of understanding for the new technology? If you know this problem, the Mouse Mobil group in Bocholt can help. The volunteers provide tutoring for tablet and co.
Making a video call to a grandchild living away from home, quickly sending a picture from a holiday, checking the weather forecast for the next few days - the possibilities offered by mobile phones and tablets have long been known and are used every day. But as the possibilities grow, so do the uncertainties:
- What do I have to watch out for?
- Which programmes are reputable and which should I avoid?
- And where do I even get new "apps"?
Since 2007, the helpers of the Bocholt group "Mouse Mobil" have been helping with these and many other questions about technology. They are supported by the city of Bocholt, the Stadtsparkasse Bocholt and the "Leben im Alter" association. "In the first few years, it was only home visits," recalls Ewald Betting. He is part of the group that meets twice a week for open consultation hours. Anyone who has questions can come there.
"We all have our specialisations, one of us is more familiar with the iPhone, the next with Android," says Franz Klein-Vorholt. They then train each other and bring each other up to date.
