Areas of Mobile Device Technology


Emails

Emails are important because they create a fast, reliable form of communication that is free and easily accessible. They are not characterized by the inconveniences that are generally associated with traditional communication media, such as telephone or postal mail. Emails are delivered extremely fast when compared to traditional mail. Emails can be sent 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without leaving your home. Emails can be sent and received from any computer, anywhere in the world, that has an internet connection. Emails can be sent to one person or several people.

A good calendar is a handy addition to your smartphone, helping you stay on top of upcoming appointments and events, whether they're personal or for work. If you're having a hard time keeping track of all the places you have to be today, your calendar can boost your productivity at any time of the year and help you stay organized.

 

INTERNET

The internet, software, and technology are so pervasive that we can’t remember having ever lived without them. They make our lives simpler. Helping seniors stay in touch with their family, doctors, friends, taking care of business online with a device in the palm of your hand.


Music

The world of music is ever growing and evolving. More than two thousand years ago Plato wrote that “music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” Music can help process our thoughts and maintain memories. The simple act of listening can transport us to days of old evoking vivid memories. Furthermore, it has the added benefit of uniting and bringing emotional intimacy when spouses and other family members share in the creative music experiences. It is no wonder we are all drawn to music because it expresses our feelings when words fail us. The key is finding the music that speaks to the heart. Let us organize and categorize your favorite music and artists on your phones, tablets,and computers for easy access while exercising, traveling, or just relaxing.


Digital Books

An electronic book, or an eBook, is typically distributed as a digital file that can be used on any compatible computer or mobile device.  With the growth in the use of tablets such as the Kindle Fire or the iPad, eBooks have been flying off the digital shelves.  No longer do you need to run to the store or wait for a package in the mail. You can download them instantly over the internet for free or at a marginal cost.  Once downloaded you have complete access to read the eBook’s contents. You can take notes, highlight, and bookmark pages, similar to traditional paper books.


PHOTOS & PHOTOBOOK

Whether your loved ones are in town or across the country, you can take photos and share with them. We can create a photo book to memorialize special events, birthdays, holidays, or a grandchild from birth to the present.


WEB CONFERENCING PLATFORMS

Web Conferencing Platforms that are used for audio and/or video conferencing gives you the freedom to see and chat with family, doctors, friends anytime and anywhere.


Tablets

With their convenience, portability, and easy-to-use features, many people are skipping purchasing a computer altogether and going straight for a tablet. That’s just as true for senior citizens as it is for all age groups. Tablets offer some functions of a laptop like casually surfing the web, playing online games, checking your social media accounts and favorite websites. Tablets are lightweight, portable, and connect to the internet via a 3G or WiFi network. Tablets have larger screens than smartphones which make viewing, surfing, and reading easier.  Tablets can be used to make phone calls and video calls, view photos and videos, listen to personalized music, check the weather, play games and more.

You can quickly route to your location or find businesses in your area that may sell or provide you with a service you need.  You can find shopping, restaurants, hospitals, the nearest gas station, and get turn-by-turn and voice-guided instructions on how to arrive at a given destination. Make a wrong turn? No problem. Navigation will adjust and get you there.
