Technology has received its share of criticism over the years, especially when it comes to social interaction. With the advent of computers and smartphones, many of us have been accused of spending less time with friends and family, and more with gadgets. However, the same technology can be used to keep in touch with loved ones. Here’s how:
Send them a mail
While writing a letter is always an option, you can send your loved ones an email as well. It gets delivered in an instant and is versatile, allowing you to incorporate images and documents. Share your vacation pictures or tell them how the year has been for you and wait for a reply.
Email is a quick and hassle-free way of connecting with your loved ones.
Connect on video
Video calling is one of the best technologies available to us. It helps bring those staying far away closer to us, and is more personal than chat or email.
Use one of the many video calling software on your phone or laptop to call and connect with your loved ones. You’ll feel like they are right next to you.
Send E-greetings
Gone are the days when we shared greeting cards with friends and family on special occasions. However, technology has added its own twist to those cards, enabling you to customize them and send them electronically. There are several e-greeting sites online. You can choose the ones you like and send them to your loved ones.
Alternatively, you can use your design skills to create your own greeting card and mail it.
Send them a gift
With the boom in e-commerce, you can easily send a gift to your dear ones. Not sure about what they like? Browse their social media accounts or ask common friends.
Alternatively, you can send them an e-giftcard which will enable them to buy whatever they want from an e-commerce site.
Share memories
With the availability of cloud storage, you can collaborate with your loved ones and create a repository of photographs of everyone in your circle. It will stay forever, and you can always browse through them for a walk down memory lane.
