	*The Silver Surfer Gateway*


	Welcome to the Silver Surfer Gateway This small site has been provided to allow Silver Surfers the ability for easy access to the kinds of WebPages and information sites, which might appeal to them. For the simple reason that sites designed for Silver Surfers, are usually hard to access through search engines.

	What is a Silver Surfer?

	Simply put, Silver Surfers are people over the age of 50 who are attempting to use the Internet for the very first time. The problem with this is that they often don’t have access to the kinds of facilities and opportunities that would interest them first hand. And since very few websites have been created to allow them to do so, it presents a problem for these people.

	Will there be problems for these Surfers?

	For people over the age of 50 using the Internet for the very first time, there are several problems that would affect them.

	1) The term ‘Silver Surfer’ may mean nothing to them at all in terms of using the Internet. 2) Anyone who qualifies as a Silver Surfer may mistake the term for the comic book superhero rather than themselves. 3) Even if they know that the term Silver Surfer applies directly to them, any search engine used would most likely provide no more than one link to pages for over 50 year olds, but might bring up over a hundred for the comic book hero at one time. 4) In order to avoid problem number three, the term Silver Surfer would have to be dropped for people over the age of 50. This however would cause widespread confusion. Search engines themselves are quite difficult to find if you have no information about their names or locations, and you are using the Internet for the first time.

	All of the websites that have been provided, however scarce are typically very good in their own right, as well as fairly straightforward to use. But many of these sites are different; for example. Some pages may be nothing more than chat rooms and information pages. Other websites may contain a wide variety of material for people to look at. On the various pages of this site, we have prepared a list of renowned sites designed specifically for Silver Searchers, as well as a short list of search engine sites in case you wish to explore the Internet more widely.
