ABC Victorian Statewide Mornings: a digital divide

Technology isn’t always easy, and it doesn’t always have every age group covered, but there are some ways that may help.

Even though laptops and tablets have become a lot more commonplace over the years, and easier to use, it’s not always something that’s actually within reach for everyone.

Young and old, using a device to conduct daily affairs can be difficult and confusing, and as more switches to being digital-first or digital-only, the results can be problematic for some generations.

So what can we do about it?

Pickr’s Leigh Stark jours ABC’s Nic Healey to talk possible solutions, covering fears and challenges, and hopefully offering solutions in the form of gadgets that can help ease the burden, even as affordability begins to bite.

Hear the full segment on Victorian Statewide Mornings for August 26 with Nic Healey on ABC Melbourne, starting from after the 7 minute mark (or at 7.30 to be precise).
