More and more companies are making our lives ‘easier’ by delivering their services online. But it’s only ‘easier’ if you grew up with computers or have used them for your job. If you’re older and you don’t have a device then it’s very annoying and tricky. But if you want to get going, then why not? Here are some of the things you could use the internet for - and there will be more next week!
Repeat prescriptions (but if you like to get out and see people at the pharmacy, stick to that!)
Online shopping (good if you are short- or long-term sick, but if you like seeing people, stick to that as above)
Audio and online books (but if your eyesight is good and you like to go to the library, stick to that or mix it up!)
Online magazines
Repeat radio shows and podcasts
Repeat TV shows
Connect with family and friends by video
Play bridge and other games with people in different countries
Remind you to take medication
Buy presents for family and friends
