Case study: Helping Dallas stay in touch

Dallas bought a WorkVentures Connect IT computer to keep in touch with what was going on in the world and not get left behind in retirement.

Dallas and his wife decided to overcome any apprehension and learn to use a computer in their senior years. Buying a new PC would be a financial challenge but one the WorkVentures Connect IT program helped them overcome. “I got tired of people telling me I could look things up on the internet when I didn’t have a computer to do it,” said Dallas.

He and his wife bought the WorkVentures specially priced ‘Take the Teacher Home’ PC and internet training package to help them start the learning process.

“I’m into caravanning, fishing and car maintenance so there’s so much information I have access to now I can go onto the internet,” said Dallas.

Having a computer also makes it easier for Dallas and his wife to keep in touch with family members who are spread around the country. “We are thinking about buying a web cam so we can see our grandkids,” added Dallas.
