Accelerated training in new technologies

Accustomed to television sets and surrounded by a team, the host must manage on his own to shoot short videos intended for seniors. "I can do this almost alone or with a friend, I was very late in this area, I discovered Facetime, Skype, Zoom, I am very comfortable on it", rejoices Michel Drucker. "I'm fully into it. Containment will have served this: I was a huge delay compared to my colleagues, my friends, so agile computers in hand."

With his new skills, the facilitator jokes. "I'm about to give up my Blackberry, sell my minitel and now I know how to use an Iphone. I'm very proud. It was time for my age."
