'Teach All Technology' -- A Social Networking Volunteer Campaign to Help Low Tech, Low Literacy and Older Adults with Emergency Technology Needs

Contact: Jon Gary, 310-770-2109, 310-276-0786, jonogary@aol.com

MEDIA ADVISORY, May 25 /Christian Newswire/ -- "Women traditionally are the best social networkers, this is why according to statistics, they dominate the social networking sites, but we are under utilizing their brilliant abilities..." as said by Jon Gary, Doctorate of Education candidate, Pepperdine University, who is finishing a five year study on "Social Networking Best Practices-Helping People With Immediate Technology Needs."

Because of gender roles traditionally throughout history, women are often allocated to traditional social networking interaction which may involve care taking, service and or food preparation.

Gary continues, "...however, these skill-sets should be developed in to a universal design model, especially towards helping people needing immediate/emergency social networking help...if we combine traditional women social networking models, with skill-sets of children's ability to use technology-we could help prepare a nation in a time of immediate/emergency technology help..."

Immediate/emergency technology help includes low tech, low literacy, and older adults who need "speedy" help with important online information such as health care, and job finds.

According to Gary's research, "...this is basically 'scholastic common sense'. Many people are insecure when it comes to using technology...some older adults are losing their vision and other adults simply cannot read what's on the screen. Often trusted family members and friends, especially children serve as 'security blankets' and walk these family members through the process...we need to organize these relationships to prepare ourselves as a nation in times of emergency..."

Gary has created a technology volunteer drive to support Haitians with these needs currently living in the United States gain Temporary Protection Status as United States citizens.

This help would include a need for adequate Creole/French translators to help clients with online information using United States Community and Immigration Services (USCIS) computer kiosks as well as other areas of technology to meet the filing deadline, which is July 2010.

"There are basic common sense steps in helping people in need, it's just doing it as a plan that needs to be executed, implemented and reiterated in a joint effort involving government, technology/media corporations and the people."

Jon Gary is available to discuss ways of how individuals can help and prepare families in need of immediate support. Other discussions consist of developing a "Teach All Technology" National volunteer drive to motivate citizens to help those in need of immediate/emergency social networking technology support.
