my writhing is atrocious, so every communication is via some form of tech.
i don’t drive so meetings tend to be FaceTime or zoom.
my memory is shot, so my iPhone, and Alex manage my life and lists
friend groups are on WhatsApp, and messenger.
my home is run by Alexa and Google.
i double up for redundancy, I dread losing control of light, heat, major appliances, and locks!
i monitor health through an Apple Watch and BP monitor, which I record in an app.
Personal transport is electric bike (fully electric, pedalling hurts), electric stand up scooter, and electric skateboard.
i navigate with Waze, google maps and Apple maps. I download maps before setting off to conserve data.
I am constantly considering new methods for mechanisation and automation.
hope that helps, feel free to get in touch for back up data.
