  COMPUTERS & TABLETS

There are times in which the use of a computer will serve us better than the use of a smartphone. The reason is that the larger size of the computer screen can make some functions much easier to use. What a computer lacks in portability is made up by its size.

​

Computers provide an easy way to write documents, do one's financial work, do photo editing, and on and on.

​

But, one of the most useful advantages of a computer (and of smartphones) is access to the internet and that access can open up a new world for us. The internet offers some amazing benefits which I will detail below and am happy to help you set up for their uses.

      STAY IN TOUCH 

EMAIL - sometimes email just doesn't work the way you want or it has confusing messages. Let me take a look and demystify it for you.

​

FACEBOOK- this social media platform is one of the key avenues in which families and friends can be in touch with each other. So easy to use (once you learn how) and so satisfying in keeping connected.

​

ZOOM - Many of us had never heard of Zoom before the Covid-19 crisis but now probably everybody has used it or heard of it. Just like what Skype does, Zoom has also "infiltrated" business, education, and, well, almost eveywhere in life.

 

SKYPE- video chatting brings family and friends virtually to your home. Don't miss out on this opportunity. (Facetime and Google Hangouts are other avenues to have video conversations)
