Call You and Yours: How is the shift online affecting you?

Sometimes it feels like the whole world is moving online and the latest figures suggest many more of us did take to the internet to get through lockdown.

For many people, being online meant staying safely at home while still working, shopping, keeping fit and video-calling family and friends. But those without internet skills or access to a computer or tablet were at an even greater disadvantage during lockdown than during more normal times.

These days, it is harder to find work, get educated and save money if you are not online. The pandemic has accelerated a switch to doing things digitally and risks leaving many people behind. Some people do have access to the internet, but don't want to have to use it for everything. With many businesses and services becoming online-only, it can feel like there is sometimes no choice.

So today on our phone-in we are asking: how is the shift online affecting you?

Email us with your experiences, good and bad: youandyours@bbc.co.uk - and don't forget to include your phone number so we can call you back.

From 11.00 am on Tuesday 4th May, you can call us direct on 03700 100 444
