Help someone get online

As part of its initiative to have people donate the hour of their time they gain when the British clocks get switched this weekend, the BBC is encouraging the computer-savvy to help others get connected. It's even created a useful guide for doing so: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/connect/volunteers_handbook.pdf. This is maximum bang for your helpfulness buck, as helping someone get comfortable with the Internet has countless rewards. This is as long as your great-grandmother doesn't suddenly attempt to friend you on Facebook, of course.


Effort involved: an hour's worth, give or take.
