Technology can be a wonderful helper in everyday life, especially when it’s set up to match your needs. Whether you’re new to digital devices or just looking to get more comfortable, here are five easy tips to help make using technology simpler and more enjoyable:

1. Use Voice Assistants to Save Time
Don’t like typing? Try using Siri or Google Assistant. Just say things like “Remind me to take my medicine at 8 PM” or “Call my daughter” and your device will do the rest!

2. Make Text Bigger for Easy Reading
Struggling to read small text on your phone? You can increase the font size in your settings to make menus, messages, and apps much easier to see.

3. Turn on Automatic Updates
Keeping your apps and device updated helps things run smoothly and keeps you safe from online threats. Most devices let you set updates to happen automatically, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

4. Bookmark Your Favorite Websites
Tired of typing in the same website over and over? You can save your favorite news sites, recipe blogs, or local weather page so they’re only one click away.

5. Try Video Calling with Loved Ones
Feeling far from family or friends? Apps like Zoom, Skype, or WhatsApp let you see their smiling faces from anywhere in the world, right from your phone or tablet.

These small changes may seem simple, but they can make a big difference in how you interact with your devices and the world around you. Try one or two today, you might be surprised how much easier (and more fun) tech can be!
