The current range of technology, especially for communication, it is so important in helping people to communicate and keep in touch with, not only their community and friends, but also with the latest developments all around the world.
We have examples of elder people, seniors, that come to live in Australia or in Sydney. I think that's a really isolating time and technology can be a real enhancer.
New migrants normally look for their own ethnic community backgrounds people where they are living.
So technology definitely helps with net-searching, Facebook and LinkedIn. They will find out where other people are located in Australia, where they can communicate, where they can talk.
If you are talking not mainly English, or you are a new-comer from another country it’s a bit tough for you to get use to the technology.
There are more services needed, especially for the seniors - senior citizens - in specific languages.
Technology has a lot of opportunity for seniors that allows them to learn about social connections whether it's within their own community or beyond their own community.
So technology training for seniors through the tech-savvy seniors program, are particularly useful as a way to introduce people and reduce their fears of technology.
There are more technology beyond the expectation, beyond the imagination but it is only limited to the knowledge you have. if you don't have this knowledge you will never know about this technology and you probably will miss out on life quality or opportunity or anything like that.
I have learnt a lot from my experience, from Australia and how to adapt as well as how to settle in this country with the help of technology.
It will bring so, so much value to a person's life. It will really enrich their living and skills.
Sorry I should have turned off [laughing], it’s the technology, we have to do that again.
