History
SeniorNet is a community based organisation which emerged in 1986 in the USA from a research project at the University of San Francisco. The projects aim was to determine if computers and telecommunications could enhance the lives of older adults. SeniorNet was first established in Wellington in 1992 with support from Telecom New Zealand. This was not only the first learning centre in New Zealand but also the first to be set up outside North America. In 1993 a second centre was established in Nelson, with Telecom's support. SeniorNet now has 100 Learning Centres all over New Zealand.
