Information technology now includes more than just computers. There are also mobile phones, webcams, iPads, and many other emerging technologies.
ASCCA undertakes projects to support IT for Seniors and organises seminars, training sessions for the mature aged and club volunteers, workshops, and similar activities.
There is also an annual conference, open to all seniors, where many areas of information technology, communications issues of interest to seniors are covered.
