Technology should enable participation, not exclude people. This category is aimed at older people and their relatives: setting up phones and tablets so that text size, contrast and volume fit, simplifying operation, configuring emergency call and reminder functions, dealing safely with online banking and government portals and recognising scams. Added to this are articles on learning at your own pace — which steps can be practised, how relatives can support without taking over completely, and which course formats have proven useful. We write without jargon, in generous steps, and from the position that questions are normal and nobody has to learn everything at once. We also show how to write down important procedures so they succeed next time without outside help.
