Did you know:
Nearly a third of parents and grandparents have been taught or encouraged to surf the internet by a young person aged 13 to 16!
Mike Hughes‚ head of the BT digital inclusion campaign‚ said: “BT’s digital inclusion programme identified that children‚ particularly young teenagers‚ can be the most effective spur to encourage reluctant grandparents online.
“The BT Internet Rangers website‚ which has been designed with the help of young people‚ has all the information young people need to either become an Internet Ranger‚ or if they are already one‚ but didn’t know it‚ make their role more fun and rewarding.”
