Case Study - ICT and pensioners in rural England

I feel that the technology has made a genuine impact on the lives of Dorothy and Clive as they have been able to learn certain things about computers and use them for there own or community needs which is a great help in informing people about community gatherings and other things, also because they can now use the internet effectively they can do all the things they would of done without a computer just within there home.

I believe there lives would be slightly worse as Clive has to keep up with community things and he must do this all by hand which can become very tiring and take a lot of time, also they would have to travel to get food and other useful necessities but if it is during the winter months it could lead to one or both of them getting ill.

If they have their own computer the community computer that is 3 miles away will be of not a lot of use to them now as they can now do all the things they did on the other computer at home the only reasons they would need the computer would be to get data of the computer that Clive was working on or if the home computer was to break and they had no other way of getting work done.
