How tech is helping senior citizens fight coronavirus lockdown loneliness

The coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdown has provided an unexpected opportunity for some senior citizens to learn news ways to stay connected.

Whether it's newly acquired technical knowledge of smart phones or tablet devices, some seniors in quarantine are now leading more socially active lives than before. Newsflare's clients want your heartwarming videos telling the story of how seniors are coping in isolation with authentic and inspiring content.

We also know that not every video call or virtual party goes without a hitch. So if you now a relative who's had a funny technology fail (ever tried to get your mom join you on Houseparty?) that's been captured on video of if you know a senior who has taken a selfie video by mistake with hilarious consequences, we want you to upload it Newsflare, with their permission (or ask them to upload it themselves!). Perhaps Siri or Alexa have trouble understanding you. Or perhaps you've made a virtual knitting group or you are attending church via the internet. Newsflare wants your videos championing all the ingenious, resilient and resourceful ways families are staying connected with their elderly relatives, despite social distancing and travel restrictions.
