[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myeong Hyeon-gwan) announced on the 31st that it will provide on-site education to help village elders utilize smartphones.

Starting in February, the county will begin smartphone utilization education for residents by having IT specialists visit senior centers and village halls at the township level, beginning with Janghwal-ri in Haenam-eup.

Many elders have smartphones but do not know how to use them, so this education is arranged during the off-season to assist them in using electronic devices.

This is the second year of the program following last year, and due to high demand from residents, education is scheduled for eight locations in Haenam-eup and Bukil-myeon in February.

The education will cover basic smartphone usage such as internet searching, photography, sending texts and photos, as well as how to use Haenam Sotongnet and prevent voice phishing.

A Haenam-gun official said, “Since smartphone terminology itself is difficult for elders, this education was planned to give them the joy of communicating through smartphones. It is also expected to help with communication in county administration as various county news can be checked via smartphones.”
