02.01.2022 Local community member, Lynn Locke from Waikiki, sent us this great poem about her mobile phone which she wrote during the strict COVID-19 restrictions period. ...Her poem demonstrates the great importance that mobile devices played during this challenging time to help community members stay connected with their family and friends, and stay up to date with information and access resources. Lynn is part of the local Switched On Seniors group which provides tech help to seniors, with a focus on iPads and iPhones. The City has an Information Technology Subsidy Scheme for seniors (60+) on low income to help them become more connected to friends, family, resources and information.
