On a Sunday afternoon Sevan and Kash visited Mr G for a tech support quadrathlon, featuring:

  • printing important documents from a Samsung tablet
  • setting up alarm clock on a mobile device
  • helping with WhatsApp data download settings
  • showing Mr G how to create photo albums on his temperamental iPad.

While Mr G managed to resolve some of his problems (queued emails) on his own, before the GoodGym mission this week, he still had plenty of queries. He shared how overwhelming the technology has been, and how he's been minimising the number of notifications and disruptions caused by his multiple devices. On occasions, Mr G had been solving such problems by using different, but similar devices to the troublesome ones, just stripped down of some features or not using his login details. The latest cure for his smartphone going walkabouts was an old-school Nokia with its own SIM card. It looks like switching to old, simpler phones for certain purposes is not just a trend seen in the younger generations these days!
