As more and more seniors venture into smartphones, some are unaware of the capabilities, and are surprised to find them useful for more than telephony.
Sometimes I hear a senior say that they don't do much phoning and don't need a smartphone. (Yet more and more medical practices are using text messaging to communicate with their patients.)
But it is the non phoning activity that takes them unawares.
Listening to music is one. Money is another.
All it takes is a smartphone to enjoy Concert Hall quality of music. iPhones are delivered with a superb set of earphones with microphone. They don't look like much, but the quality of sound will be as good as the most expensive speaker systems.
That is because there is nothing to get in the way of the sound.
Hearing impaired seniors will hear even better than with speaker systems. I found a $5 set of earphones from Five and Below which performs outstandingly. Really!!
Then what about buying?
Buying on eBay alone will find you items you no longer can find in the stores, replacement parts you can't find anywhere else, and prices way below store prices. Just take care in looking at the seller's history and the way the seller presents items for sale and handles your questions.
Seniors can buy online from nearly everybody nowadays and Amazon boxes are a common sight everywhere here
As I write this I am enjoying music and wearing $80 shoes I just got for $20 on eBay. Really.
