Thinking about old age and consequently time and changes, it is surprising, that in such a short period of time the world has changed so much. Inventing of such "wonders" as television, computer, mobile phone, digital camera, Internet and the fact, that at some places, eg. factories, people have been replaced by machines, have caused changes and constant education of the whole society. One can ask: how will elderly people pull themselves together in such times? Will they take up the challenge put out by the present time, trying to understand and learn the contemporary world of omnipresent novelties?
Keywords: Internet, seniors, new technologies.
