HARRISBURG, Pa.
— As the Internet of Things continues to blossom and companies like Google and Facebook continue to pour millions of dollars into the technology, some of the things we do on the phone can be far more intimate.
“I’m thinking of someone who has dementia,” says Jennifer Zimbalist, who works in the health care department at Harrisburg’s University Hospitals and Clinics.
“I want to say hello to them and say hello and see how they’re doing.
I just want to know how they are.”
Zimbalists’ friend is a woman who is blind.
She lives in Pennsylvania and has Alzheimer’s disease.
“She is a big help to me because she’s not a person that you talk to all the time,” says Zimblist, the medical director of patient care at the hospital.
“So I just think about her a lot and just say hello.”
Zembalist says that while the Internet is a great source of communication, it can also be a place to feel disconnected from your loved ones.
That’s why she created a company called “The Internet of Dogs,” which helps people connect with people in their communities.
The company’s motto is, “When it’s not you, it’s the Internet.”
Zamblists phone number is disconnected, but she does have a dedicated number for people who need help.
“When we’re at the phone, it really makes us feel like we have no control over what’s going on,” she says.
“You know, if something goes wrong or something happens, you just feel like, well, how can I help this person?”
The company, which is funded by Google and Microsoft, offers people in need access to phone numbers and phone numbers from around the world, with special attention given to people who are blind or blind-related.
Zemblists number can also reach people who have lost a loved one and need to call home.
She calls them “the people on the line.”
“I think we’re all in that same boat.
You’re trying to make ends meet,” she said.
“And then you just know you have to make it through this.”
Zimmerman is the founder of The Internet of Pets.
She says people need to get a little more involved in their community.
“The people that we’re connecting to in our community are just like the dogs on the street, the people in the hospital,” she explains.
“The animals in our care.”
Zimmers family is not the only one who feels like they need to make the phone call.
Zimmermans grandmother has Alzheimer and her grandson has Huntington’s disease, so Zimmermans niece was added to the line as well.
“You know when you have a disease that is very similar to Huntington’s, it gets more difficult and you just need a little help,” she explained.
Zimmers niece’s number was disconnected.
But the family has also become the “People on the Line,” and it has a positive effect on the family.
“It’s not that we can’t get through this.
It’s just that we have to do something,” Zimmers niece said.
The Internet on the Phone is the brainchild of Kimberly Zimmers, the niece of Kimberly Zimmermans, the owner of TheInternet of Pets and the founder and president of the organization.
The organization, which started in 2013, has more than 10,000 members in 15 countries.
Zims niece calls the group’s website, “the internet of pets,” because she is often unable to get on the Internet because she has a physical disability.
Zimmers family also says the group has helped her connect with other members and their families in her area.
Zimblists niece calls Zimmers numbers.
It takes time for the phones to ring.
But her niece says she does it for a lot of reasons.
“People are just so busy that they forget to do things.
And I have a lot more friends and family and I have so many friends who are so much closer to me, and they call me every day,” she recalled.”
And I just really love it because it means that I’m just in contact with other people.”
