The idea behind Web Wise Seniors was first developed during the latter half of 1999. Gilbert Pelton, 82 year old grandfather of Stephen Pelton, President and CEO, was watching the discovery channel when the show ended prematurely. The show was talking about some very obscure “underwater pyramids” and the topic had really grabbed grandpa Pelton’s interest. Hearing about all this information that could be discovered on this so called “Internet” grandpa Pelton asked his grandson Steve to use the Internet to find out the rest of the story. After a couple hours of searching Steve had come up empty handed, mainly for the fact that he was not too sure of what he was exactly looking for. The next day, Steve took his grandfather under his wing and patiently taught him how to use the Internet. Within a few minutes after learning how to use the Internet grandpa Pelton had found the exact information he was looking for as well as a new hobby.
