5 steps · Your own pace
Choose technology for a real everyday task
Step 1 of 5: Write down the job
Choose one goal: read larger text, listen to music, make calls or watch television. Name where you will use the device and who will use it. Separate an essential feature from an optional extra.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 2 of 5: Check what you already have
Look for built-in accessibility or useful apps on your current phone, tablet or computer. Larger text or an easier shortcut may solve the problem without buying another device. Try a small reversible change first.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 3 of 5: Compare suitable device types
A tablet offers a larger touchscreen; an e-reader focuses on books; headphones change audio listening. Confirm the actual model supports the feature you need. Product categories alone do not guarantee accessible controls or a particular service.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 4 of 5: Check costs and connections
List purchase price, subscriptions, accessories and any internet requirement. Check charging, storage, account and compatibility needs on the maker’s official page. A low initial price can come with costs or limitations that matter later.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 5 of 5: Try the controls and plan support
If possible, test the screen, buttons and sound before choosing. Check current software support, returns and warranty details with the seller. Write down who can help with setup, then choose a first guide for the device.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.

Your small practice task.
Write one job, three essential features and the total cost you are willing to consider.
Completing the guide records your progress here; it does not check your device settings.
A common question.
Should I buy the newest model?
Only if its relevant features justify the cost for you. Compare the actual task, support period and usability rather than the release date alone.
