Reality generated by media also encourages the elderly to use mobile technology freely. They are aware that human knowledge and science are evolving at staggering speed. These technologies are nowadays a key to the pace of changes and the level of contemporary man development.

Computers, the Internet and credit cards have changed the Polish reality. In order that the elderly may function safely within it, they need to have wide access to mobile education.<br/><br/>
