About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

Phones used to be all about making calls, but now your mobile can do so much more. The range of new touchscreen smartphones allows you to access the internet, use social media, get live news updates, play music and video, and much more. However, they almost universally use touchscreens for control which can be a challenge for people new to the technology and is something that is covered in this session.
