Senior Tech Group Mission Statement
The primary missions of The Senior Tech Group are:
First, to help folks with little or no computer knowledge enter the information age. So they aren’t “shut out“ as our society transitions from traditional ways of communicating and doing business.- To form a Group where we bring together technology users to share knowledge and experiences.
- To encourage those members with technical skills to help others within our communities implement and maintain all types of computer-based, digital systems at our meetings or in their homes.
- Learning Morse Code To Improve Cognitive Health:
Learning Morse code is a fascinating historical pursuit and a powerful tool for enhancing cognitive health. Engaging in the mental gymnastics required to encode and decode messages can improve memory retention and enhance problem-solving skills. Taking on Morse code as a form of cognitive exercise can be a unique and enjoyable way to invest in one’s mental well-being.
While the primary focus is computers, applications, and the Internet, our programs extend to online security, mobile phones, streaming TV, and more.
We particularly welcome those with little computer experience or who may not even own a computer. Please join our group and learn the basics. Many of our members began with the same foundation and are now comfortable using computers and the Internet. When we cover the “basics,“ we simplify the material so all can understand. Moreover, we hold “clinic“ sessions where our members provide “one-on-one“ training and coaching.
The Senior Tech Group embodies the spirit of the frontier, a community coming together to accomplish tasks that no individual should have to undertake alone. With the help of all who join us, the Senior Tech Group will try to answer your questions and share helpful tips.
We cover a range of topics, including the following, during our group meetings and clinics.
- Getting started with a computer
