Smart phones and many other modes of technology are being designed all the time to make our lives easier and more connected. As we know, technology is always in a state of change since new developments are continually emerging. Technological products change, and the way they are used changes.

This past year, COVID and all the lock-down restrictions, have highlighted how much technology can make a difference in so many areas of our lives. Connecting to those we love. Working remotely. Online shopping and banking. Remote medical consultations and many others.

At The Somerset our residents appreciate the advantages of making use of ever changing technology and attended a workshop presented by Lynda Smith from Refirement Network, to keep up to date with digital skills to remain relevant, mentally engaged and connected with family and friends.

Our residents and members of staff at The Somerset Lifestyle and Retirement Village in Somerset West, shared their stories and wanted to give you a glimpse of what they were doing to keep themselves busy and entertained during the lock-down period. To view the album, click here.
