Below we have listed 4 ways in which technology might enhance your every day. Why not try the ones you haven’t tried before? Remember it might take a few go’s to get used to something new but we hope that you’ll find it enjoyable and useful.

Alzheimer Scotland Virtual Resource Centre:

The Alzheimer Scotland Virtual Resource Centre (VRC) is an online space where people will be able to access groups, activities, and information sessions all from the comfort of their own homes. The Virtual Resource Centre runs a program of therapeutic activities and information sessions on topics such as financial advice, using technology, and support and services.

Technology to share memories:

It can be used by anyone, but has been designed for, and with, people living with dementia and their carers. Here’s a video explaining how it works.

The amazingly intact remains of the 15th-century Inca citadel stand atop an 8,000ft mountain in southern Peru. Machu Picchu (meaning ‘old peak’ in Quechua) was a royal estate for the emperor Pachacuti. This stunning website allows you to ‘stand’ in various locations and rotate your view in any direction, from the stonework to the greenery of the slopes.
