Cyber Seniors

By: Akash Agrawal

The film Cyber Seniors was released in 2014, and is about connecting seniors to the internet. It talks about a program which teaches seniors how to use the internet. This film impressed me, made me see things in a different way, but can be improved.

First of all, this film impressed me. One thing that impressed me was that many seniors don’t know how to use the internet, and that some program was made to teach them to use it. These people used their time to help seniors! This film was made to describe this program. Another fact that impressed me was that many seniors aren’t in contact with their relatives. This film talks about a program, which can help connect them with their family again. The third fact that impressed me, was that this program brought seniors together. This film talked about a program that connected people to the internet. Then, they helped the seniors get together. Another fact that impressed me was that seniors made youtube videos with the help of their partners. This film talked about a competition between seniors which said that the senior that had the most views on their video, would win. One fact that really impressed me was that a senior had four thousand views on a video. This film talked about connecting seniors to the internet, and some people showed the seniors how to use youtube. The final fact that impressed me, was that some seniors have few companions, and would use the internet to find one. This film showed seniors how to use the internet, and one thing they showed them to do was to use social media. Shena and Max helped teach seniors to use the internet, and they made the program and teach seniors at senior centers.

Also, this film made me see things in a different way. I had never heard of a senior not knowing what an email was. It made me see that many seniors have never used the internet, or rarely use it. The fact that many seniors don’t use the internet seemed out of place. The scene where a senior received a comment on his image appealed to me. The way he reacted, he was joyful.

Finally, this film can be improved. The producers of this film should ask each senior to introduce themselves before they showed them how to use the Internet. We would be able to know more about the seniors and their past. We would know why they would want to use the Internet. If someone asked me if I would recommend this film, I would say yes. This film is a great way to tell people that many seniors don't use the Internet. Maybe, some people can connect their relatives to the Internet, and they could stay in touch with each other or have fun.

All in all, the film Cyber Seniors talks about a program which connected seniors to the Internet. This film impressed me, made me see things in a different way, but can be improved.
