"The Let's Get On road show will get into the very heart of communities across Scotland, offering people the opportunity to take the first step in getting online and highlighting the many benefits.   The internet can bring huge advantages to people's lives, whether it's finding a job or keeping in touch with friends and family and getting connected can save people time and money.
