Technology is not what you think

In the early meetings of the Champions’ group, members drew pictures and spoke about how they felt about technology. Tenants in particular were able to express their real fears and considerable anxiety about technology. As the project progressed and familiarity with technology grew this anxiety reduced to some extent. Out of these discussions arose the idea of making some short films.

These animations, available below, were co-produced by the TAPPI Champions’ group and Co-production Works. They were created with the purpose to be used by staff and relatives to show tenants to try and ease their fears and help them make choices about technology. 

In the films later life housing tenants described their ‘technology journeys’. They spoke about their fears regarding technology but also how it had helped them retain independence and improved their quality of life.
