Meet Vera

Vera is a busy mother, grandmother and business co-owner. Vera has hit a wall when it comes to new technology and struggles to keep up. In this episode of our First Timers, we see how Vera's son, Chris, is helping Vera to grasp new technology, connect with her local community, and sell some of her unwanted furniture. Watch as Vera learns new things and perhaps you will also discover something new for the first time today.
