Ray Hallam replied to GeniUS!'s discussion GeniUS! Challenge #2 - Aiding vulnerable people NOW OPEN"Sounds sensible. I have been asking around and, to be perfectly honest, am quite surprised at some of the responses I get. Last night I was explaining the idea to my elderly mother and she surprised me with her reactions particularly when I…"
Ray Hallam replied to GeniUS!'s discussion GeniUS! Challenge #2 - Aiding vulnerable people NOW OPEN"Fair point, but I think it would be difficult to find a one-size-fits-all solution, there will always be a variety of alternative approaches necessary to reach the target users (mediums of radio, leaflets, etc).

Ray Hallam replied to GeniUS!'s discussion GeniUS! Challenge #2 - Aiding vulnerable people NOW OPEN"I think you're massively overgeneralising about what "old people" want.

Ray Hallam replied to GeniUS!'s discussion GeniUS! Challenge #2 - Aiding vulnerable people NOW OPEN"Many middle-aged people do not want to use computers either.

With regard to care homes, etc, as I say, I am simply amazed at how little technology I see in them. I'd have thought a camera…"
Ray Hallam replied to GeniUS!'s discussion GeniUS! Challenge #1 - Hidden Gems NOW OPEN"A hackspace.
A space in which technophiles can meet, discuss and develop ideas and / or access resources. A space in which members of the public can go to get impartial answers to their technical questions. A space in which people can learn and…"
Ray Hallam replied to GeniUS!'s discussion GeniUS! Challenge #2 - Aiding vulnerable people - NOW OPEN"There are many possibilities here.
