#education Rafael Gómez is a friend of the family. He tells us how he came to an institution for the elderly at that time to learn systems, he was 71 years old and all he knew was the cell phone.
He came to take lessons because he wanted to learn how to control the computer that his son had at home. But deep down he wanted to give his life a direction and by studying he could reinvent himself.
He learned to deal with Paint and write letters in Word; he opened an email, Facebook and YouTube account and learned how to send messages in this way. She even has a WhatsApp group where she communicates with her classmates.
His goal is to launch a business idea that has been in his head for a while: “Currently I work with my daughter-in-law, who has a distributor of natural products. What I want to do is set up a page and start selling online. My intention is to continue learning and working as long as I am mentally and physically capable,” he explains.
I think that studying in old age is conducive to the restoration of supporting networks, since being together with other people improves the possibilities of social bonding. On the other hand, it is normal that in old age the support networks become impoverished because the children leave the house, the partner dies, the pension stops working, among other things. By restoring them, they gain a new role in society and help them understand and accept the ageing process in a better way.
Another aspect to be taken into account is that older people generally have a decline in their income while at the same time increasing their spending on health and care. Continuous studies during life allow older people to remain current in the working and productive world, thereby not worsening their economic conditions.
