When technology suddenly feels confusing

Ben from Easy Fix Tech Support | Christchurch

You’re not alone if your computer, phone, TV or Wi-Fi doesn’t behave the way it used to. Technology changes often, and it isn’t always explained very well.

A few simple things that genuinely help:

• Computers: use Restart, rather than just turning them off
• Phones and tablets: hold the power button and choose Restart
• TVs and Wi-Fi boxes: turn them off at the wall for 30 seconds, then back on
• If something suddenly looks or works differently, it may have updated and nothing is broken
• It’s okay to take notes or write things down

This isn’t your fault. Technology often changes without telling you.

If you’ve tried the basics and it’s still not right, that’s okay too.

Easy Fix Tech Support helps people around Christchurch with everyday tech issues in a calm and patient way, focusing on making things easier to use.

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.

We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?
What else should our urban areas be doing to support better community connections?

Curious about the full plans? You can check them out here.
