'ITea and biscuits' in Llanelli


Older people enjoyed 'itea and biscuits' at Llanelli Library to learn about technology such as the internet, digital cameras, and mobile phones.
The event, which included tea and biscuits, was part of an annual campaign run by Age UK which aims to introduce technology to people in later life.
A spokesman said: “Technology is increasingly important and can offer older people numerous benefits, from using mobile phones and the internet to keep in contact with loved ones more easily, to using digital cameras to capture those important moments in life.”
At the event experts were on hand from Llanelli Library to teach people about technology.
Carmarthenshire’s education executive board member Cllr Gwynne Wooldridge said: “Itea and biscuits week was very popular and a great way for people in later life with little or no experience of technology to get a taste of it first hand. The library is a great place to learn to use technology such as the Internet.
“Technology really can make a difference to people’s lives, offering them independence, security, entertainment and much more.”
