Hi, Im a technophobe..if thats the right word and it`s spelling!

I just use these things with ignorance of how they work!

I use my netbok most days. My tv remote is a great friend…what did we do before these? we got out of our comfy chairs to turn the tv off/on and change channels.there were only 3 in those days.that`s for you younger folk out there.

My bed, wheelie, hoist, recliner chair, all work with power, so I`d be very sad without them.

Modren science is a wonderful thing indeed!

Hello Shana,

I am none too good with all things technological. I use this forum of course, but although I can strip wallpaper, and change plugs, etc, I am too much of a wus to buy things on line! I look for things on line, but then jot down the telephone number, and give them a ring - shame on me!

Take care,

Moira

Hello redhead,

That is an interesting idea.

I am dependent upon my Laptop for a variety of reasons, email, my website (www.aid4disabled.com) and the internet, where would we be without Google? I use Facebook and Twitter quite a lot but they are for my website. Only have a primitive mobile phone so don’t use apps

My mobiity scooter, Leki walking sticks and poles are essential, generated as a result of mdern techmology

I would like an iPad and amore up to date phone but cannot afford. I will need to replace my laptop within a year.

Oh yes, my drugs, the obes from the chemist, definitely only available cos of modern technology

Thanks

Patrick

I use a couple of Remote Control Sockets to turn the halogen fire and the fan on and off. Herself found three sockets and their controller for 20 quid in B+Q. They are really good and I’m still pondering what to use the last one for
