Internet has shifted from fashion to be a habit. Broadband services, wireless technologies and mobile Internet has made us communicate on the go. Things are controlled remotely and much more can happen with new satellites awaiting for launch. Government of UK has planned for a broadband service in every house hold by 2012. Every possible hindrance from Climatic conditions, economy melt down, and technical issues has been taken care. But its shocking that almost 6 million people aged above 65 haven’t used the Internet ever.

Is that ignorance or avoidance or unavailability or what is the reason for a huge number of people not using Internet as a mode of communication?, while the rest can’t live without it. But the digital dreams of the oldie’s will be done after the release of “SimplicITy”, a new desktop computer. Its an effort of Discount-age website with Wessex Computers and Vegans Solution to help the elder citizens.

As the name goes, its a simple to use computer with 6 buttons designed using the Linux open source platform. No windows, no folders or new applications, its just 6 buttons on the screen which allows email, chat, web browsing, documents and profile. The fonts are bigger enough and the computer does not require a log in. Users do not need to worry about anti virus programs since its a virus free computer.  Television presenter  Valerie Singleton, presents almost 17 video clippings for first time users to know how to work with the simple computer. Anyone can order for the computer through post and can receive it in a two weeks time. Contact info for simplicITy computer: 0800 028 0417 or info@simplicitycomputers.co.uk.

There is an increase in demand for broadband service in UK year by year. Even though we have multiple options like cable broadband, mobile broadband and satellite broadband, still we have many a users suffering with a dial up or without a connection. The release of simplicITy will help many who do not know to use the Internet. The computer will support the broadband internet service. There are  no clues of what browser and email configuration is used in the computer.

Also existing broadband users in UK hasn’t showed much interest and also do not want their elders to go for it. Since they believe windows or MAC to be the best. SimpliciTy should be the best for some one who does not touched the mouse or a keyboard or does not know what’s windows is? But those thinking to buy the device, gets struck seeing the price tag which ranges above £300 without a monitor and keyboard.

Its evident that tech aspirants support with repeated efforts for the telecommunication industry and help for 100% communication in UK. The broadband service providers in UK would have thought for either a bundle plan or offers on the simplicITy computer with their broadband service.
