Technical Guruji: Of video calls & setting up your living room
What is the easiest option for video calls for your parents and the smart furniture you need for your living room
Tech for parents
What’s the easiest video calling technology my non tech-savvy parents should opt for to stay in touch?
—Vikram, Via Instagram
A basic WhatsApp call works best. It’s Android, which your parents will already be familiar with—and if not, can be introduced to. It’s easier to get a hang of, and they can switch between video and audio options as well. If you want a better-performing service, then Google Duo is a great option. It’s easy to use—you just have to tap to make or end a call.
Smart living
What useful smart gadgets can I install in the living room of my new place?
—Moksha, Via Instagram
The basics for a new space that’s a living room is to get smart lights, smart speakers and a digital home assistant like Alexa or Google Home. Then, you can also add some motion sensors, security camera and smart furniture options like tables with integrated speakers or refrigerators etc.
