I felt this would be ideal for my dad in his assisted care facility, so I ordered it. I made him a Facebook account while I waited for it to arrive because he had never had one and it was necessary. As another reviewer pointed out, once he uploaded his profile photo, his account was deactivated for "violating community standards." WHAT? I sent in my appeal to Facebook 72 hours ago, and I haven't heard anything from them yet. Assume that if the Facebook account is not fixed, I will wait a few more days before sending this back. If you are buying anything for someone else or yourself who does not currently have a Facebook account, proceed with caution. UPDATE: After contacting Facebook Support on my behalf, Portal Support fixed their error in less than five days. Nevertheless, it required several emails and a considerable amount of time to have an apparent error fixed. Second Update: I must add that this is an amazing device after using it for three weeks. My dad can make and take calls using voice commands from his assisted living facility. Play

Numerous reviews I've read claim that grandparents can't have drop-in access. It took some work, but I managed to pull this off. I put up zoom on this device first. I then created a brand-new Zoom account for this device alone, complete with a special login and password. I used my computer to log into the account. For part of this, a computer with installed software is required. Although it's a little tedious, you can access advanced options directly by visiting the Zoom website instead of using the app. You will need to add or change contacts somewhere else because "advanced settings" and "contacts" are not located in the same place. If you are already familiar with using zoom on a computer, switching between them is simpler than using other methods. Then I went on Zoom and added both my friends' and my own accounts to the device's contact/friends list. I then had to access my computer's zoom settings, down to the advanced options at the bottom, and click that to be taken to the zoom website where I could see the advanced account settings. I employ

Although I must say that I was a little embarrassed not to have read this book throughout my academic career, I'm glad I did now. It has, in my opinion, totally changed how I feel about "science fiction," which I had previously mentally written off as a fantasy subgenre centered mostly on Martians. My eyes were awakened to the world of what Bradbury himself called "speculative fiction" by this book. It struck me as incredibly lyrical, prescient, and inventive. Reading this was like to having a bad dream where everything is inside out or upside down. For example, books are labeled as "enemies of the state" because they make people think, and thinking is the source of sadness. In the bizarre "fun house" of this highly imagined society, people prioritize happiness above all else. It's not fun at all to live in this "fun house," though. Here, television soap operas are literally all around the residents, exhibited life-size on the three walls of a room or on the walls themselves. They hope for a fourth wall and live their lives in vicariously via it.
