07.01.2022 A couple of years ago, Ken wanted to learn how to use Facebook to follow his 6 nieces on their family holiday through Scotland. He can now use his iPhone, laptop and iPad to do activities like online banking, searching the internet and staying in touch with his family on Messenger. Ken says, I was full of doubt and confusion when I started this journey. I am a traditional old-fashioned Queensland cowboy. I know how to do things with machinery and animals and with my hands, but I really didn’t think I would get with the internet business. I was wrong about that, I am learning all the time." Ken is one of this year's #GetOnlineWeek stars. You can read his full story about the importance of learning #DigitalSkills in regional Australia on the Get Online Week website.
