Notes et avis

We need this at our branch libraries and elsewhere, even at home. When the seniors learn to connect to the WWW and start surfing; there's a whole lot they can share with their grandchildren no matter what their age. It's about time the age gap between the seniors and cyber technology close ranks.

Story is fun and heartfelt, great for the whole family, but especially loved ones that are tech averse!

This documentary is really fun. However, the film feels like it only has enough content for forty five minutes. They stretch it out with an alternate storyline that doesn't quite fit.
