If you’re going to live in the world today, with all the technology around, THIS is what you need to know...
Technology can be amazing, no doubt about it. But it can also be baffling, frustrating and downright infuriating.
After all, it’s a different world nowadays. Technology is everywhere... whatever you try and do. You simply can’t avoid it... unless you want to go and live in a cave!
Technology can make life simpler and easier... and most important of all, more enjoyable.
It’d be a shame to miss out on all the good things it can do: save you time, help you have more fun... even save you money (always welcome!).
Use the time you save to read a good book, spend time playing with the kids or grandkids or simply have a chat with a friend.
And if you know how to use it, technology can give you everything from better holidays (and more fun planning them) to better TV to watch...
...from staying in touch with friends and family in so many different ways, to less hassle booking doctor’s appointments or getting a repeat prescription.
Technology is everywhere – so why can’t it be simple?
But far too often, technology leaves you frustrated... wondering what on earth people are talking about or what the point is... and why you have to do things in a certain way... and maybe feeling left behind... all because no-one ever seems to explain things properly.
I’m not only talking about PCs, tablets and smartphones, though I mean them as well.
What about SmartTVs? The different options for music? E-book readers and how they’re different from tablets? Gadgets like Amazon’s Alexa or Echo or Google Home assistant, that you put in your lounge and talk to? Or the endless gadgets in cars?
And it’s not just the devices themselves...
Talking of cars, what about how you can renew car tax online? What about booking GP appointments online or using an app to request a repeat prescription or even check your medical records to make sure they’re right...
How to make modern life simpler...
It can be bewildering... how on earth do you work out which things might be helpful to you, which might make life more fun, save you time or even save you money?
That’s why we’ve written this book: Survive and Thrive in The Digital Age.
Its subtitle is “In a world overrun with technology: Don’t be cast adrift... Take back control... Do more of the things you love”.
A long title, I know, but I wanted it to say what the book covers. The book explains in plain simple language what it all really means... and what the point of it is. Then it helps you work out whether each particular bit of technology is relevant to you – whether you’d find it helpful.
For example, have you heard about...
From the thing I’ll tell you on page 1 that would have most techies in fits (it’s the bit starting “But don’t feel like you...”) to what people mean by a “smart device” or the “internet of things”.
From what “the cloud” actually is, in plain English, to techie things that help you use the NHS (and help the NHS save time, too – very useful for them).
From all the kinds of devices you can use to go on the internet to using technology to stay in touch – picking the best ways for you from umpteen different ones.
Not to mention TV, music, books, learning (not just formal courses but learning all sorts for fun), holidays and travel, the technology in cars, saving money, government things you do online, photos, videos and shopping...
All that made simple & clear. But don’t be put off by how much there is – part of the point of the book is that it lets you work out what you’re actually interested in and which bits you can safely ignore... or just come back to later on.
