1My grandmother finally agreed to buy herself a new smartphone last month.

2She had always said that the old telephones were perfectly good enough for her.

3But she missed seeing her grandchildren, who live far away in different cities.

4So I spent the whole of last Sunday teaching her the basics.

5First, I showed her how to unlock the screen and answer a call.

6Then we practised making a video call to my cousin in Australia.

7When his face appeared on the screen, she laughed with surprise and delight.

8We wrote down every step carefully in a notebook for her to follow later.

9Now she calls us every evening and even sends photos of her garden.

10She admits that she was wrong to resist technology for so many years.
