Senior Tech Group Members: If you attended at least once, you are a member; please let us know what you would like us to cover in the future.
The Senior Tech Group brings technology users together to share knowledge and experience. Everyone welcome!
We do not have any prerequisites. You can just come, ask questions, bring your tech issues, and enjoy.
The Senior Tech Group operates on the principle of “members helping members.” We are particularly interested in helping those who have limited or no experience with a computer so they may participate in the rapid transition from traditional means of communication and commerce to the Internet. So please invite your “non-connected” neighbors to a meeting or clinic and see how easily we can help them learn what they need to know. Please understand that while a listed presentation topic may not be of particular interest, the discussion often branches into other topics of interest to those attending. There is no meeting where you don’t learn something new.
An Important Note: Along with much praise for the STG and what we do at our presentations, some attendees say, “Their eyes get glazed over” at how quickly we move through the different screens and options. WE HEAR YOU! We have kicked this around and are committed to making no demonstration clicks or entries on the computer image on the screen without ensuring everyone knows what we are doing and how/why we are doing it.
We cover the following topics during group meetings, clinics, and more.
- Getting started with a computer
- What computer, printer, or backup drive should you buy
- Securing your computer
- Using your computer and its software
- Help with your email.
- Speed up a sluggish computer.
- We are using the Internet more effectively.
- Connecting to the Internet and WiFi arrangements
