Thanks to the evolution of 5G, wireless technology empowers us to create connections and enhance our lives beyond the confines of our device. The opportunities for meaningful time online are endless, like connecting instantly with long-distance loved ones via video chats or accessing a wide range of educational resources on your own schedule.

Here are five ways to make your time online meaningful:

• 1. Connect with Family and Friends: Through phone calls, video chats, and text messages, wireless allows us to defy geographical barriers and stay connected with loved ones who live near and far. In addition to talking and texting, photo-sharing apps allow users to upload and securely share photos with friends and family, ensuring everyone stays up-to-date on their loved ones’ lives from anywhere, at any time.
  2. Donate Digitally: Giving back to your community and supporting causes you care about has never been easier. Thanks to wireless, most non-profit organizations can receive donations through online portals or even text-to-donate features, allowing supporters to share messages and champion the causes they care about from the palm of their hand. Whether you’re looking to make a charitable donation or set up a fundraiser of your own, wireless technology opens doors to more options.
  3. Streamline Civic Duties: Tax season is upon us, and there are plenty of online tax software options to streamline the filing process. Filing online often means a faster process with minimized risk for errors. Not far behind tax season is election season, and many states have expanded their offerings to include online voter registration. While online registration is not offered in every state, information on the steps to register to vote are readily available. With wireless, completing these civic duties is more accessible and convenient than before.
  4. Explore Online Education Opportunities: If you miss the classroom or want to broaden your knowledge on a new topic, look no further than your favorite wireless device. From online learning platforms to podcasts and audiobooks, there are countless virtual resources that allow you to learn according to your timeline and in the most effective format for you.
  5. Clean Your Digital Space: While it may be a bit too soon for “spring cleaning,” it is always a great time to ensure you are maintaining a clean digital space. A digital declutter can include organizing your email inbox, deleting unused apps, and removing duplicates of photos to free up storage on devices and retain organization.
