It’s a known fact that men are crazy about gadgets, new technology and adapt to new technology like a fish does to water and the women…well, not so much! Men tend to be obsessed with new technology and are often hooked on all day. I guess it is in their DNA of sorts, while with women, it is an acquired skill.
Having said that, women are capable of multi-tasking, and technology in many versions, can be a great personal assistant! Whether you are a working woman or a stay-at
home mom or a mumpreneur donning multiple roles – technology can work wonders!
why not adapt to a positive change especially when it saves time and effort?
Rekindling friendships virtually
Compared to men, women often tend to lose touch with their friends from school or
college, especially once they get married or have kids or generally get busy with their
lives. Facebook, a social networking site, is a great medium to reconnect with your
friends. In recent times, with the COVID impacting all our lives globally, almost everyone has jumped on Zoom, Facetime, Whatsapp, Skype and what not! There are multiple reunions happening across my friends with their buddies from school or college. Necessity is the indeed, the mother of invention, eh?
However, there are a few apprehensive about having a virtual presence due to hackers,
spammers and virtual bullying or flirting – it is definitely safe to have a facebook
profile and choose to maintain friends and friendships selectively. Get to know the
privacy policies and take a little time to read up on how you can selectively share your
life through photos and updates – and you are good to go! Your very own virtual
platform, which can transform and take you back to the good old days with your
friends and you can easily connect in real life too.
Updated Mobile Phones
Often, women tend to prefer a basic phone – just something that you can use
to make or receive calls and stay connected. It’s a good idea to upgrade your phone to
an Android phone or a Blackberry.
While, there are people who go crazy with apps, there are actually some really useful
apps that are designed to help women achieve their individual objectives – something
for everyone – fitness enthusiasts, new moms, expectant moms, organizers, fitness enthusiasts,to-do-lists and reminders, the list is infinite…choose the app that suits your need and make life
easier.
Re “kindle” your Love for Books
If you are a book lover and miss the luxury of reading a book un-interrupted, a kindle is the perfect company for you. Of course, it does not offer the pleasant smell and feel of a real book but you have the satisfaction of reading several books – on a single application at one go – and it’s the perfect travel companion!
Change with the times, technology only makes your life easier…all it takes is a little bit of learning and patience; it takes you a long way ahead!
