I am sure I am not the only person who is fed up with being made to feel like a second ( or lower ) class citizen because I don't have or want a smart phone or similar device? I get texts from companies and institutions such as the NHS telling me to click on the attached link but as I don't have a smart phone I cannot do it. The phone numbers are frequently hidden so you cannot reply. As these companies do not want to answer time consuming telephone calls their phone numbers are frequently not displayed on their websites or letter headings. If you get through on the phone you are kept waiting for a long time to speak to someone. We are being encouraged to change to electric cars. The only public charging points I have seen you cannot use if you do not have a smart phone. I admit part of me is being obstinate. When I see the excessive profits made by Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook etc I think 'They are not having my hard-earned pension' I'd better not mention my views on the BBC. I think they would be in favour of euthanasia for all people over 70.

Are you becoming boring to other members of the household, with your attention given to your phone, tablet or other. Is technology controlling us like “the tail wagging the dog”? I have invested in an i-pad air, and my dear ol’ hubby says I’m using it too much…..especially when the footie is on; that’s for sure! Anyone suffering i-paditus?

Hi...I recently dropped my mobile in some water. I grabbed it straight away, put it in rice as we're told to do...tried it in a warm cupboard but it's still not dried. It's working but you can see some water the screen. Has anyone got any better suggestions to help dry it out Shirley 🙂

Following a sudden and inexplicable collapse of my legs, my family want me to get a mobile phone. I've had one in the past but small text and buttons frustrated me too much to use. My father-in-law (87!) advises the Doro 8040, while I've also seen the Samsung Galaxy J5, which I like as I also do alot of photography and this would be handy. Thanks for giving me your views.

Hi I wonder if someone could explain in layman's terms why if I receive photos to my mobile phone when I try to print them off at home they are so small even if I request 6x4 they come out much smaller. Can you tell me how to resize before printing? Thanks in advance.

Having just returned from a holiday abroad, it struck me how many parents provide technology in the form of iPads and Tablets, to entertain their toddlers. Whilst there is a time and a place for this, such as on a flight or journey, I was surprised to see toddlers sitting at the breakfast table watching a screen whilst munching on their Rice Crispies! I also witnessed twin 3 year old boys, leaving the dinner table wearing padded earphones, walking through the restaurant still engaged with their iPads, not looking where they were going, totally oblivious to other people and their surroundings. The world has changed and technology now plays a huge part in all of our day to day lives. There is a balance for us all between actual social interaction and technology engagement. Do you have a concern that the younger generation of today, particularly toddlers, are in danger of missing out on actual development of relationships and world awareness due to the distractions of technology? Daydreaming is your brain at its most productive … are young children given enough time to daydream or are they becoming overloaded with technology? If you are a grandparent, do you have to hold back your views or are you able to express what you think to your offspring? Is technology in danger of damaging our toddlers social development or enhancing their learning? What do you think? https://www.silversurfers.com/speakers-corner/balancing-toddlers-social-interaction-technology-engagement/
