We all know someone who has frustrations about using digital tech to undertake day-to-day activities. Its not just about how to upload a document to an email or ordering shopping online, it is also important to note that the technology itself poses difficulties in its use. Many older peoples’ experience of new technology can often be summed up using the following comments that we have recorded from previous support offered to older digital learners: “Can’t find the short cut to using Zoom and making the necessary adjustments for communicating”, Can’t save photographs because I can never find them again” or “there are too many options which confuse me”. To aide in making life easier for those only interested in the necessities of being ‘connected’ Ability.Net have developed the Grandpad – a iPad for beginners. Here is the link to their website, which you can pass to your older friends and relatives: https://www.abilitynet.org.uk/news-blogs/grandpad-tablet-seniors-your-questions-answered
