Summary

One question that a lot of us have been asking during the pandemic is, “How could we possibly deal with the pandemic as well as we have without all of the technology that’s been developed in the last 10, 20 or 30 years?” Technology is making a huge difference in our ability to cope with all aspects of the pandemic and our guest on this episode, Jennifer Jolly, has her fingers on the pulse of the tech world.

Jennifer is an Emmy-award winning consumer technology journalist who is the New York Times Wired Well columnist, host of the digital lifestyle series TechNow for USA Today, and contributes consumer technology segments for the Today Show, The Talk, CNN, HLN, Dr. Oz, Yahoo, Time, and many others.
