Had a lot of fun today opening up a new world to some residents at RiverWalk independent living facilities in Riverdale, NY. I did a presentation on Skype and how they can use it to keep in touch with family and friends from around the world. We Skyped with my mom and dad in Hungary just to show them how it works. Mom was telling them how wonderful Skype is and how it makes her feel closer to her family when she's far away. I think the residents loved it. The discussion moved to how technology can be used to make the world just a bit smaller by communicating with people from all around it. A fun, lively, entertaining discussion. I think I'll offer it again and get some more people in there. Do you use Skype or Facetime or anything like it? |
