Modern technology has become an integral part of life and so those who have not embraced it can be left behind and feel rather alienated with it all.
However, it is never too late to learn how to use the technology and even the elderly have found it easier than they first thought to use things such as the internet and mobile phones once shown how.
If someone is unsure about how to use a certain piece of modern technology then the best way to improve their knowledge and confidence would be to get an expert user to demonstrate it to them.
This way they are able to see exactly how it functions and can also crucially ask any questions they may have about the technology.
The younger generation seem to be able to adapt quickest to new technologies and so many senior members of the family turn to their younger family members to explain and demonstrate certain pieces of technology. The key to successfully teaching someone to use a piece of technology is to simplify it as much as possible and do not use any jargon that may baffle them.
Like anything practice is key to mastering any new technology and so people who are struggling to use the item should be encouraged to keep at it and it will soon become a lot easier to work and understand.
There are even mobile phones that have been brought out that are in the simplest form with large buttons and without any of the 'special features'. These phones are aimed at the entry market and so shows that if you start simple you can then build confidence until they are able to tackle all technology.
