With Google WiFi, the satellite mesh units connect wirelessly to the base unit or can be connected using Ethernet cables.

Jan 8, 2024, 1 and 7 PM | Join Online Meeting > Let’s Look At Mobile Apps –  If you have a smartphone or another mobile device, you probably use apps. To play games – Get turn-by-turn directions – Access news, books, weather, and more. Apps are easy to download and often free. Mobile apps can be so convenient that you might download them without considering how they’re paid for or what information they may gather from your device. A mobile app is a software program you can download and access using your phone or tablet. I enjoy services, Shopping, Entertainment, and Apps. – Here are many services I enjoy regularly. You may also find some of them exciting and valuable.

Jan 22, 2024, 1 and 7 PM | Join Online Meeting > What is a Chromebook? – A Chromebook is a new computer designed to help you get things done faster and easier and powered by Google’s Chrome OS™ and features built-in, up-to-date virus protection along with Google apps and services like Gmail™, Google Calendar™, Docs, and Google Play™ (plus thousands more in the Chrome Web Store™). In addition, unlike traditional PCs, Chromebooks update themselves automatically for free, so you always have the latest and most excellent version. At the same time, your stuff stays safe with Google Drive™ online file storage that’s automatically backed up. And Chromebooks play nicely with your other devices—your phone, tablet, or another computer—so you can stay in sync with your day.

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. Just come, ask questions, bring your tech issues, and enjoy.

User groups are founded 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. And 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 our group meetings, clinics, and more.
