How has COVID-19 altered your digital technology knowledge and equipment?

Wife and I have learned that our phones need to be replaced, learned how to view more on the Smart TV, have Facebook accounts, using Zoom, Lifesize, Houseplay, and a few other group apps. The wife is working from home, so I got us a better/larger/faster printer, scanner, copier system, and a much large monitor. We will be getting another Surface Pro and new Phones.  

I was already tech savvy so I've learned nothing from this.

What about your parents what have you had to do for them, if anything? 

My mom was already tech savvy.

I already worked from home, thus didn't have to change or upgrade anything. It hasn't changed my habits, nor those of my immediate family.

More or less this.  I can't think of anything digital that I've learned as a result of this.

My mom did learn to use Zoom, though.  Also learned how TeamViewer works.  The latter still scares her, but she uses it for work.

been engaging in "face chat" with the grandkids 

Have used Zoom for the first time with coworkers but, other than that, nothing really new.

Wife and kids have always handled the on-line ordering. I am now doing it on my own..........mostly booze 😁

Since she started tele-working Mrs. Zunardo had to figure out how to hook up a microphone to our home PC and use Cisco Jabber, so she could take  phone calls without having to manipulate her cellphone. She only snapped at me once or twice when the installation took a little longer than expected, and I offered a suggestion to make it go smoother.  We bought a new 32-inch monitor so she can look at emails and reports without straining.  Takes some getting used to, though.

I need to dig out my Kindle (or Nook?) that I never used, and figure how to download eBooks from the public library.  

I've been watching Twitch way more, music stuff. Thought it was mostly for gamer dorks, but I like it.
