Despite 97% of the population having internet access, a quarter lacks digital literacy. Swiss Post's advisory service in selected branches aims to bridge this gap, offering guidance on digital issues, from phishing to smartphones.
Imagine, 97% of Switzerland is online, yet a whopping 25% can't tell a tweet from a twit. Swiss Post is stepping in, transforming its branches into digital literacy hubs. Think of it as your grandma's new go-to spot for deciphering her smartphone, minus the eye-roll.
In an effort that sounds like a plot twist in a tech-savvy fairytale, Swiss Post is now dabbling in digital advice. Forget about mailing letters; it's all about mastering the digital jungle. And yes, they're serious—this isn't just an attempt to make post offices cool again.
The initiative spans from Zurich to Geneva, with branches doubling as tech-support centers. Free advice sessions are on offer, presumably to prevent Switzerland's digital dinosaurs from extinction. It's like a digital Noah's Ark, but with less water and more Wi-Fi.
Swiss Post's digital literacy crusade isn't just a solo mission. They've partnered with Salt for mobile services, and even PostFinance is jumping on the crypto bandwagon. It's a multifaceted approach to keeping the Swiss net-savvy and financially futuristic.
