What technology have you used today?

My phone and iPad to watch the news, check my bank and the weather also local traffic situation. My car sat nav to find a different way home and Tesco scan and shop. I’ll play music on my phone when I’m reading later. Researched flights to visit son too.

Wow you have a robot vacuum. Am so jealous. Are these a thing now? I just have a cordless.
And in answer to your question have used my phone. That’s all.

I started today, as I start every day by grinding coffee beans and putting the kettle on.

This being the last bank day of the month, my pension has been paid into my account, so later this forenoon, I did some online banking, then I read a couple of text messages on my phone, sent two others, printed out an e-mail and the manuscript of something I am currently writing.

If by technology, we mean ordinary household appliances, I them baked bread, and of course right now, I am on Gransnet - computer again.

Later I will set “Tracey” my robot vacuum going downstairs whilst I clean the bathrooms upstairs,

Hope this is not too outing.
I know someone who calls her's, Hilda.
As in Hilda Ogden!

Newspaper read on my IPad.
My phone for calls, Wattsapp, and making several appointments.
Alexa for my shopping list.
Phone banking.

First thing checked Alexa for any reminders - and added a couple more- checked my To Do list and shopping list for the day
Asked Alexa for the news
Went grocery shopping - paid ‘electronically’ with my Mastercard.
Now watching TV and checking GN, after which I will play the Games on the Daily Mail App - sorted

Internet on laptop.

My mobile phone / my desk top computer ..

Just phone and iPad.

I used my tablet paired to an Alexa speaker to listen to a few chapters of a book first thing.
Went on big computer to find passport renewal forms.
When I'd put on a bit of make up and sorted out my hair I took a few un-smiling selfies with my phone for the online form. Hoping one of them
meets the criteria.
I listened to music via Alexa whilst I was pottering in the kitchen.
We sat down with a coffee to watch an episode of Landscape Artist of the Year, which we had recorded. (So we can fast forward through the ads.)
Chatted via messages on WhatsApp to family and then a group of very old girlfriends.
Played a couple of games of Solitaire on my tablet, and now using the same to add this post.
Couldn't be without all these devices now. Amazing how things have changed over the years.

I began my day by checking my Blink app for any nocturnal activity on our outdoor camera. There was none, not even the cat.
I read the news on my tablet, played wordle and posted my results.
Looked up a recipe for a sauce to serve with meatballs and spaghetti on my tablet.
Scrolled through Facebook.
While making lunch, I asked Alexa to play Magic Classical.
Put television on for the one o'clock news. It's a new Freely tv on which all of the content is streamed.
Had a phone call on my mobile from the doctor to discuss my latest blood tests.
After finishing here I will put the tv back on and watch The Antiques Road Trip.

Lap top and phone- both do everything I need to do.

First thing I checked on news on my pc on my desk.then looked up train times to London, as I was goingup to an exhibition. Read my Kindle on the train.

On the train home I read my kindle and rang DH on my mobile phone to tell him the time the train was due in so he could rive round and collect me.

This evening back on my pc to check social media like Gransnet and look up one or two other itemss

Phone for calls, texts, internet, taking photos and playing games, till at work, TV. Bank card to pay. Mixer for cake making. Does my cooker count? If so that and the microwave.
I think that's it for today.

Woke at 6am. Checked house thermostat via Hive app on my mobile. Temperature was 14c so I turned the heating on from my phone and waited another hour before getting out of bed.

While still in bed had a look outside via the ring doorbell camera to see if the car windows were iced up. They were 🥶

Read the news on BBC app in bed while I waited for house to warm up.

Went to meet a friend for lunch in an unfamiliar area so used google maps on my phone to direct me.

Had a video call this evening via WhatsApp from my grandchildren 140 miles away.

Responded to twice daily automated texts messages to record my BP and send results to the practice nurse who has requested I monitor it for 2 weeks.

Sobering thought and I wish I didn't have to use so much tech. Tea in bed, whatsapp and newspaper online, check emails on 2 accounts. Smart TV. Alexa for radio. Microwave several times.
