Get Online Week
Get online week is an annual national campaign run by UK online centres, which helps tens of thousands of people to improve their computer and internet skills each year.
In 2010, UK online centres partnered with many organisations to run Get online week, including the BBC, Race Online 2012, Post Offices, BT, Three Mobile, Google, Sky, and Facebook, getting nearly 80,000 people started with computers and the internet.
In 2011 Get online week followed a “Give an hour” theme, encouraging those with digital skills to help others.
Get online week 2012 will take place between 15-21 October.

Famous quotes containing the word week:
“It is possible that the telephone has been responsible for more business inefficiency than any other agency except laudanum.... In the old days when you wanted to get in touch with a man you wrote a note, sprinkled it with sand, and gave it to a man on horseback. It probably was delivered within half an hour, depending on how big a lunch the horse had had. But in these busy days of rush-rush-rush, it is sometimes a week before you can catch your man on the telephone.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
