End the weekend.

So we'll watch out for friday.

Jodie.

>> well, a lot of us are at home using technology more than ever and burton kelso is our technology guru, he joins us with the latest and greatest apps that we can use to get through this time.

Hi burton.

>> hi, how are you doing, jodie?

>> doing very well.

Tell us what are you finding people are in need of?

>> people are in need of fast internet obviously because of the stuff we do is online.

Fast internet is important.

There's several apps people need to use to stay in contact with family.

Just to relieve the boredum of staying at home.

>> you have several apps.

One is kind of like what we're doing.

Video conferencing.

>> that would be zoom.

There are many people who used zoom to join into webinars.

It allows you to talk one one with people and you can do large groups.

I have seen people use zoom for virtual happy hour.

How they connect to 100 or more people have a happy hour.

The app is free.

You can record up to 40 minutes worth of video or have a 40 minute video for free and works on any device.

Your smartphone, mac or windows computer.

>> i love the virtual happy hours.

Those are fun.

Tell me this, when our neighbors are next to us and in their homes, what is a great app to connect with them?

I know a lot of people use face time.

>> next door is a great app to keep up what is going on in the neighborhood.

You can find specific services on next door.

You can also keep up with what's going on with law enforcement.

Many law enforcement agencies are embracing the next door app.

If there's a critical alert they need to get out, the next door app is what they're using.

It's what you can go to find out what's going on.

>> what else?

How can you help us?

We're trying to get through this time.

It's long for sure.

>> well, yeah.

So there's three other apps we can talk about.

The next one is team viewer.

Team viewer is a remote control app that allows you to remotely control your work computer from your home.

You can log into your office computer and work as if you're still sitting in front of your office.

It's free.

Which is important and it is secure.

So any transactions you do business wise, hackers or prying eyes can't see what's going on.

>> neat.

>> yeah, so now, i'm assuming you like old tv shows, like jodie.

>> of course, who doesn't?

I have the app and website for.

Just watch which allows you.

Doesn't matter how old the show is.

You can find out what streaming service.

You can see gunsmoke or i love lucy or friends.

Go to just watch, type in your favorite show title and let you know what services have that title.

>> what is your last one?

>> last one is net-flix party which allows you to watch movies with friends and family across the internet.

Doesn't matter where they are at in the world.

You can log on to net-flix party and access your movies and watch as a family.

Doesn't matter where you are.

>> gosh, thanks for being with us today.

We sure miss you on the set.

Can't wait
