"A lot of people, including older folk, are being left behind on technology," she said. Mrs Souquet is general manager for the Community Communications Technology Trust (Com2Tech), which for the past year has worked in partnership with local and national organisations to provide free technology learning for people of all ages. The work is in partnership with the Digital Inclusion Alliance Aotearoa, which aims to provide equal opportunities for all New Zealanders to access technology. This gives digitally savvy children the opportunity to increase their technology skills and also to share their knowledge with others. Com2Tech also helps provide low-cost refurbished devices for families, individuals and not-for-profit organisations, tailoring devices to specific needs.
