Access To Digital Technology


Name: Jane Winterberry
Age: 68


Q. What example of technology do you use in a normal day?
A. In a normal day I use my sky plus to record TV whilst im at bingo on a Thursday night, I do my banking over the phone. I also ‘try’ to use a mobile phone to text my granddaughter which takes me quite along time to figure out.

Q. Who was it that introduced you to the new technology?
A. It was originally my daughter who introduced me to digital television and to do my banking over the phone as this enables me to do it from home, at first I wasn’t sure because I didn’t think it was safe, but im now glad she showed me how to do it. My granddaughter also introduced me to mobile phones as she grew up and wanted to keep in touch with me all the time.

Q. What things would you like to be able to do with the use of technology?
A. Me and my husband used to go to the cinema quite often, but since were getting old; it’s harder to get there so often, we would like to be able to view new films from home. Because we are not that familiar with using the internet, we cannot do home shopping, so, therefore we would like to be able to do it over the phone some how, or a much more simple website to use.
