Important results from the project
The overall objective of the project was to find at least two innovative proposals for solutions for the needs owners and that these should then be tested in a sharp position in an implementation project. The aim of the project is to find ways to give the elderly who are outside the digital community a safe way into the technology while also giving young people with functional variation a way into meaningful employment and / or work.
Expected long term effects
The result we have come to realize is that the needs of the the elderly need a lot of personal help to enter the digital world. They also need to be able to test different devices in peace without expensive investments. The expected effects of the solutions we now want to test are that more elderly will be given the opportunity for personal help based on their needs on their way into the technology while the younger ones with functional variation should Opportunity through its mission as Computer Friends get meaningful employment. At the same time it gives rewarding meetings between the groups.
