I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.

Seniors Should Embrace Tech: Lifelong Learning Matters
In today’s fast-paced digital world, technology touches nearly every aspect of life—from how we communicate to how we work, learn, and stay entertained. For seniors, embracing tech isn’t just about keeping up; it’s about opening doors to new opportunities and enriching your life.
Here’s why lifelong learning in tech matters most for seniors:
1. Stay Connected to Loved Ones
Video calls, social media, and messaging apps allow you to stay in touch with family and friends, no matter where they are. Learning to use these tools fosters stronger relationships and prevents feelings of isolation.
2. Access to Endless Knowledge
The internet offers a world of learning resources at your fingertips. From online courses to how-to videos, tech allows seniors to explore new hobbies or master skills that can enhance daily life.
3. Stay Relevant and Empowered
Whether you’re looking to re-enter the workforce or simply engage with the modern world, tech skills can boost confidence and open doors to meaningful opportunities, like remote work or consulting roles.
4. Tech is Made for Everyone
Gone are the days when technology seemed intimidating. Devices and apps are increasingly user-friendly, with seniors in mind. Many platforms also provide accessibility features to accommodate physical and cognitive needs.
5. Lifelong Learning Keeps Your Mind Active
Research shows that learning new skills, especially those that challenge the brain, can help maintain cognitive health. Technology is a perfect avenue for this—it’s dynamic, ever-changing, and always full of surprises.
Getting Started
- Take Advantage of Free Resources: Libraries, senior centers, and online platforms like YouTube or Skillshare often offer free or low-cost tech training.
- Start Small: Focus on one area at a time, like mastering email, social media, or video calling apps.
- Ask for Help: Don’t hesitate to ask friends, family, or even local tech support groups for assistance.
Technology isn’t just for the younger generation—it’s a tool for everyone. By embracing lifelong learning, seniors can continue to grow, thrive, and make the most of this digital age.

A wonderful service in every aspect from calling in to set up an appointment with GroovyTek and follow ups as well as the fabulous help, patience and expertise of the tech who came to the house to work with me with my computer issues. I would highly recommend GrooveyTek for all your computer needs! Thanks so much!

My tech is patiently bringing me (at age 79) into the computer age. I am so glad that I found him through GroovyTek. What a wonderful gift!
Judy K
I had a session with GroovyTek over the phone today. It was extremely helpful to me because I was able to see everything that he was doing on my computer as he was talking. I was then able to follow his actions to do what he was doing as well. What a way to go!
Carole M
I have had two great sessions with GroovyTek and finally I have learned to use my smartphone calendar! I'm looking forward to my next session.
Mary D
I had a serious issue with my bank website not being secure. This was a very technical problem. I used the Remote Session option to get help. My GroovyTek trainer kept at it until we finally resolved the issue.

I'm very pleased with my session today with GroovyTek. My trainer was able to fix both my computer and my printer (problems with both) and instructed me on how to correct the issues if they occurred in the future. We also made plans for my next session. I find GroovyTek sessions extremely helpful and convenient since they are in my home.
Eva S
Excellent help from our GroovyTek trainer. He spent an hour explaining issues that I was confronted with, on my computer, and corrected all my issues and problems. He was concise, knowledgeable and forthright and I will call on him and GroovyTek again whenever I need help and support. I highly recommend GroovyTek services!
Laura M
Very pleased with the experience. Knowledgeable trainer who was most helpful. Highly recommend the service.
Michael M
We have had several help sessions with a GroovyTek trainer. WE could not be more pleased. My trainer takes all our questions and while answering types up his answers so even after he leaves, we can refer to his notes. I would recommend GroovyTek to any of my friends or family without hesitation. BTW, ALL the employees at this firm are extrememly knowledgeable and friendly.

It is comforting to know if you have technical problems there is a Hands On source to get help. These trainers listen to your problems, find solutions and work with you until you understand the solution, their patience is outstanding. This is a great way to not only solve problems but to learn about the ever-changing world of technology; there are class presentations, small group gatherings or one-on-one in your home with kind, friendly, people.
Ingrid S
Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.
Cheryl M
I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.
Natalie W
Outstanding trainers with expertise and a lot of patience at a fair price. I have used them for two years and they have given me a much better understanding of the in's and outs of how to use many aspects of my computer. It is a pleasure to have them come to my home and work on my own computer problems.
