“A very interesting report. Less than 12% of Ireland's population is currently aged over-65. We are still one of the babies of Europe. But we need to start planning for the future. Peter's report provides an insight of the challenges ahead.” -

George Hook launches the Google Silver Surfer Awards 2012
11 months ago South Dock, Dublin, Ireland
“Hi Bernie, Thanks for your interest. The target group for the Silver Surfer awards is: older people using technology to enhance the quality of their lives; their family and friends who are aware of this use (and so can nominate them; IT tutors (who can nominate students -- there is also a prize category for them). To qualify to be nominated (for all but the IT tutors award) you have to be 50 or older. So, as you can see, the target audience for the award publicity is quite broad. We have had some remarkable winners over the previous three years, but by highlighting some of these we might scare people away from nominating others. So, we are looking for the public to nominate someone who uses technology, and in such a way that it enhances the quality of their life. We hope that the positive experience of the winners and those short listed will help other older people to "take the plunge", overcome their fears, and start learning. Unfortunately, at the moment in Ireland over 70% of over-65s do not have IT skills. Thanks again for your interest. Full details about the awards and the prize categories are on our website at goo.gl/wxzLI Eamon.” -

“A great part of the world! We envy you here as it buckets down rain. Any chance you could use your network to promote a recent audioblog we did with George Hook on our Silver Surfer Awards? We are relatively new to Audioboo and only have three followers, so we are trying to get traction for it. It is on our channel at http://audioboo.fm/boos/897432-george-hook-launches-the-google-silver-surfer-awards-2012. Thanks and have a great break in France. Eamon, Age Action.” -
