Using Technology
Using Technology
Using technology during this unfortunate lockdown can be extremely valuable. Self isolation can produce feelings of loneliness and depression but there are ways of connecting to your friends and family using video chatting services. You can also create an online shopping order or develop your digital skills with free online courses.
​
The popular video chatting services currently available allow you to chat via the internet instead of a phone line. You also have the option to just chat rather than use video. Here are the pro’s and con’s of using each service.
Video Chatting Services
Getting Started
To get started you will require a smart digital device. This could be a touch screen phone/ tablet/ laptop or pc. You can access these services through a web browser like Internet Explorer or Chrome. Internet access is required via your home internet through a router or by using your data allowance from your phone or tablet contract.
