Use of Digital Tools
Various digital tools are used to create web pages for LifeInTrinidad.org, including Adobe Photoshop and artificial intelligence applications such as Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini. The AI tools have assisted with research organization, editing, brainstorming, image generation, and content development. All material is reviewed, edited, and curated by the website administrators, and the views and interpretations expressed remain their own.
Custom software was written by Dr. Permanand Mohan and Ms. Rinard Guy to format the lyrics for the Bollywood songs and calypsos. Software tools were also used to find the right blend of colours for displaying the lyrics on a drop-down accordion.
