Smartwatches 
Communication has even evolved beyond mobile devices and personal 
computers. We can now send messages through tablets, voice assistants, 
smartwatches, and more. The smartwatch is a relatively new technology that

captures almost all the capabilities of smartphones in a convenient touch-
screen watch. You can receive notifications, track your activity, set alarms, and 
even call and text directly through these wearable devices. 
Smartwatches can also serve as a way to communicate with emergency 
responders. Medical alert companies like MobileHelp and Medical 
Guardian have partnered with smartwatch developers or created proprietary 
technologies to provide seniors the safety of a medical alert right on their 
wrist. These watches include many of the same features as a typical 
smartwatch, such as activity tracking and personal messaging. 
Even the makers of popular smartwatches on the market outside of the 
medical alert industry providing people the ability to communicate quickly in 
the case of an emergency. The Apple Watch Series 4 and its subsequent 
versions have built-in fall detection, which will automatically alert emergency 
assistance. In addition to its automatic response capabilities, Apple Watch 
technology also allows users to initiate an emergency call from any location 
worldwide manually. Apple’s Medical ID Health app can provide emergency 
responders access to your medical conditions and designated emergency 
contacts. 
Technology allows us to communicate instantly with people in our 
neighborhoods or around the globe. This innovation not only keeps us 
connected but can help us live safer and healthier lives.

Technology Has Changed How We Pay Bills And Transfer Money
No more do you have to enter a bank to withdraw money or transfer it to 
someone. Many banks have already made transactions possible online and 
accessible to people everywhere. Companies like PayPal and Venmo have 
created platforms where people can send and receive money from any location 
using the Internet. 
Paying bills has also become simplified thanks to technology. You can 
automatically schedule payments when they are due rather than having to 
remember to mail a check. With your cell phone and a banking app, you can 
manage all of your necessary bill payments online. 
Setting up automated payments through a banking app is especially helpful 
for seniors who may have memory problems. Caregivers or loved ones can 
help set up recurring bill payments so there’s never a question if a bill will be 
paid on time or not. 
It’s even simple to pay for things using only your smartphone. With Apple Pay 
and Google Wallet, you don’t need to carry cash when you go shopping. These 
apps securely link your bank account to your mobile phone. The same 
machines you use to swipe your credit card at the store now allow mobile 
payments from your phone. 
Keeping up with all of these innovations may seem like a hassle, but these 
technologies can simplify your life to help you worry about fewer things. With

all of the payment capabilities available these days, you could leave home 
without your wallet and be just fine.
