To help these people cope with new technologies, Professor Ramon Miranda, 27, has become a “surrogate grandson”. With a specific teaching materials and a lot of patience, it gives private lessons in Belo Horizonte, with the aim of making digital independent seniors.

 The artisan Marcia Pompey, 60, felt the need to enter the digital world.

 - Today everyone just makes contact over the internet, if you do not use, end up getting deleted.

 She explains that the family often has no time or patience to teach older people how to deal with new technologies. So she hired the services of “surrogate grandson”.

 - He is always available, is humorous, and let us quiet, because we will not be taking anyone. We are paying for this, and we can feel free to take any questions.
