ICT today has had a huge impact on our society and how it allows people to do every day things. People who are unable to leave their homes because of illnesses are now able to communicate with the outside world with the use of social networking sites such as facebook, msn, skype and twitter. When using skype you can communicate with people across the world. You can use a webcam while talking to them so you can see the person that you are talking to. They are also able to record, pause and rewind live TV with the use of sky plus. So they can watch there TV programs when it suits them. Also they can shop online for food which will be delivered to their home. They can check there bank statements online to see how much money they have with out going out to the bank. All these things can be done by sitting at home but not all elderly people will use these things as they will not trust it and it would take them along time to get to know how to use the technology.
