00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:15.330
<v ->Keyboard shortcuts.</v>

3
00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:17.130
Keyboard, shortcuts.

4
00:00:18.174 --> 00:00:19.260 line:15% 
Come on.

5
00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:21.250 line:15% 
For seniors to have access to the internet

6
00:00:21.250 --> 00:00:25.080 line:15% 
is essential because without that, they are left behind.

7
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:26.740
And in this community here in Florida,

8
00:00:26.740 --> 00:00:29.910
we have a lot of people that are from Haiti, Jamaica.

9
00:00:29.910 --> 00:00:32.710
Well, with the access to voice over IP,

10
00:00:32.710 --> 00:00:34.230
it costs them nothing.

11
00:00:34.230 --> 00:00:35.730
You have to have internet in order

12
00:00:35.730 --> 00:00:37.600
to take advantage of that situation.

13
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.170
<v ->I use my, the internet for communicating with</v>

14
00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:42.580
friends and family, and I have a friend

15
00:00:42.580 --> 00:00:44.850
in Jamaica who I communicate with.

16
00:00:44.850 --> 00:00:47.130
I think it's good for people to learn about the internet

17
00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:52.130
because most communication is done by internet now.

18
00:00:52.130 --> 00:00:54.830
I remember when I used to write letters

19
00:00:54.830 --> 00:00:58.733
or send cards, we don't do them anymore.

20
00:00:58.733 --> 00:01:00.630
<v ->Okay so yours was right here.</v>

21
00:01:00.630 --> 00:01:03.200
When it comes to seniors and the internet,

22
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:04.390
they're all afraid.

23
00:01:04.390 --> 00:01:07.350
They think its a gigantic monster of some sort.

24
00:01:07.350 --> 00:01:08.450
Well, it's really not.

25
00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:11.670
<v ->I'm learning to go on the internet.</v>

26
00:01:11.670 --> 00:01:15.770
I was totally ignorant of the whole computer thing,

27
00:01:15.770 --> 00:01:18.050
and, as I say, terrified of it.

28
00:01:18.050 --> 00:01:20.600
I'm learning to loosen up a bit and lose

29
00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:23.320
the fear that I've had, so I'll get around

30
00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:26.860
to using it, I'll use it for just about everything.

31
00:01:26.860 --> 00:01:30.460
<v ->Ya know, if I had the internet, I could do lots of things</v>

32
00:01:30.460 --> 00:01:33.170
that would help me and keep me within my home,

33
00:01:33.170 --> 00:01:34.730
instead of going out to do this.

34
00:01:34.730 --> 00:01:37.610
I can even pay my bills and, so lots of things

35
00:01:37.610 --> 00:01:39.860
I could do if I had the internet.

36
00:01:39.860 --> 00:01:42.270
It's more than I ever thought that it could

37
00:01:42.270 --> 00:01:45.590
mean to anybody, 'cause it means so much to me.

38
00:01:45.590 --> 00:01:48.433
<v ->Internet Essentials can change everyone's life,</v>

39
00:01:48.433 --> 00:01:50.820
not just seniors, not just high school,

40
00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:53.300
not just kids, it could change everyone's life.

41
00:01:53.300 --> 00:01:56.210
And Comcast is able to bring that internet

42
00:01:56.210 --> 00:01:58.800
into their home at a minimal cost.

43
00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:00.830
And really when we're talking about the internet,

44
00:02:00.830 --> 00:02:02.514
it's about improving their life.

45
00:02:02.514 --> 00:02:06.097
