Other - Science Add commentsCaju61 asked:
I am an older person who used to be fascinated by science and technology but who is just now coming out of a 5 year long crisis during which I had minimal exposure to new developments in the internet and new technology such as text messaging podcasting etc. So what I need are free educational websites..eg. there used to be (still is) a website called “How stuff works ” which I had found v useful. Also, I had heard that teh Brittanica and or Harvard or MIT were going to make a lot of their course material available free on the web? Hard to believe I guess…
I want to extend the xpiry but can’t find out how…

Given your statements in asking your question, I believe you might find the AARP site to be of help, specifically
and
There are also general listings of sites offering such assistance at
And there is a nice-looking home-grown more general *stuff* links listing at
The Britannica IS online, but NOT FREE as you hoped
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.

It’s not called “the net” anymore.
