People have commented they cannot afford the wii. Go to your local Senior Center. The Broadband Technology Grant Program has purchased about 40 systems to be distributed throughout the city. Find out if your local Senior Center is part of that program and has a wii. I am going to be doing training with all of the Senior Center a activity directors in the next couple of weeks so that all of them will know how to supervise and manage and use the system. By this summer, there should be wii at a Senior Center near you. We urge you to try out this new activity. It is really fun to play golf, tennis, baseball, even boxing. Challenge someone you do not belong with well at the Senior Center to a game of boxing, but do not actually punched a person punch the person. Do not do that. It should be a great opportunity this summer to experience the wii. They will start with the formal program in a few minutes. We wanted to give you a demonstration of the wii. Look forward to seeing you soon look for
Will post the Technology Advances you are experimenting with today. Our own residents at every location of our Senior Centers are going to enjoy the Technology Advances that we have as a society. This is why we work in a great city like San Francisco. We want everybody connected. We want to make sure the San Francisco connected Program Reaches all of our seniors, all of the people with disabilities. There is no reason why people ocean not be connected up, and therefore no reason why people should not be connected up, there for everybody gets to enjoy the fantastic technology that we have. This is what makes a great city. This is why i enjoy working with you and being the mayor of our great San Francisco city. Thank you, ann. Congratulations on your third summit. Thank you very much.

Senior centers that you live and work in and enjoy yourselves in. Youre going to be able even to read a book online or be able to just have a game and download a game and play with your friends as well. We are all lucky to live in San Francisco, because so many of our Technology Companies have located their headquarters here in San Francisco. [cheers and applause] and because theyre located here, we can always ask them for a favor here and there and make sure no one is left out, because that is what we do in government. David chiu and i come from backgrounds where we do not want to leave anybody behind. We want everybody to enjoy the riches of technology. We want them to enjoy the economy in San Francisco. That is why were working so hard to make sure our central marketplace is welcoming of all these Technology Companies, making sure that we can work with other cities. I am very lucky to be part of the u. S. Conference of mayors, and they allow me to represent San Francisco as the Inno
Communities, but your department has always been looking at four things that would help increase capacity for things that would help increase capacity interconnectivity. This years summits focus on creativity and technology and be sure that we use the wonderful grant from our federal partners in the department of commerce to help us engage healthier, happier, and more connections with our aged community and persons with disabilities. It is a wonderful goal, and we have a lot to talk about today. I also want to welcome all of the businesses that have been partners with this. You know, when it comes to technology, we in the government can never do it alone. Whether it is federal, state, or local government, we have got to work with our private partners so that all of the Media Connections can happen. I want to give a shout out to comcast, verizon, the San Francisco health plan, scan health med, unlock, our media partners, and all the organizations and volunteers working along with us to

Finally, as someone you know, i celebrated my 60th birthday last week. [applause] and my staff gave me an ipad, and is looking at it i might have to go and join your classes to be able to appreciate all the applications that we have there. So do not be surprised if the guy next to you has a mustache. When i leave here this morning, i will be going to rosa parks Senior Center. We just spent 2 million of federal monies to redo that whole Senior Center and allow that to be one of the sites that will post the Technology Advances you are experimenting with today. Our own residents at every location of our Senior Centers are going to enjoy the Technology Advances that we have as a society. This is why we work in a great city like San Francisco.
