With the help of The Seniors' Survival Guide---in handy non-downloadable format---you will breeze through all the buzzing and whirring, surf merrily on that Internet thingy, become an expert eBay auctioneer, save the world from the modern menace that is global warming, programme your washing machine and DVD player, converse with local youths in their own lingo and, most impressively of all, learn how to get through to a real human being at the end of a telephone helpline.

Wryly observed but full of practical advice, these instructions will preserve your dignity in the face of all those obstacles that conspire against anyone with a less-than-firm grip on 21st-century life---and believe us, you don't have to be much over thirty
