AI Lonely Pensioner Aid
The piece of equipment would be very similar to the Amazon Echo or similar but suitably equipped for a/an elderly, disabled or lonely person with zero IT skills.
No doubt the unit would need to connect to wifi via an in-built hub/modem, however
The unit would also come with a small input keyboard such that friends or relatives could program in important / emergency phone numbers.
The unit would be capable, by voice command alone, of making phone calls, answering questions, playing music or tuning into radio stations. - Maybe when further developed operating a variety of household functions/appliances.
Why the contribution is important
Isolation and loneliness is an increasingly unfortunate development of society's progress as we live longer and become more insular. Certainly many of the current older generation have already been left behind by the rapid pace of modern technology.
Essentially if they've not installed wifi by now, it's unlikely they will in the future.
