Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.
Preparing for emergencies used to be relatively straightforward. You could keep a blanket, jump cables, and a few snacks in your car. You could hide a key underneath a planter, or put tags on your dog and hope for the best if you got separated.
Now, there are thousands of digital options available. Instead, you can remotely start your car from your smartphone, unlock your home digitally, and put a GPS collar on your dog. Technology has revolutionized our approach to preparing for the worst.
No matter how tech-savvy you are, it’s hard to stay up-to-date with emerging technologies. To avoid feeling overwhelmed, think about your priorities. If you live in Arizona, you don’t need to think about making digital preparations for hurricane season. But no matter where you live, it’s a great idea to learn how to program an emergency contact in your phone.
These innovations in emergency response mean that more lives are being saved. From data sharing to social media, people are increasingly interconnected. This has been a huge advantage for emergency rescuers. If someone goes missing on a hiking trip, what was the last photo they posted on their Instagram account? Is their phone on, which can help rescuers track their GPS signals? If a child gets kidnapped, an amber alert sent out to every single cell phone can help track them down.
These emergency response technologies have proved to be lifesavers. As technology continues to evolve, though, you can use it to your advantage. For instance, what about street lights? In the old days, cities used to hire lamplighters. Every night as dusk fell, they’d circle the city and light each lamp for pedestrians, carriages, and horseback riders. As dawn came, they’d extinguish the lamps.
These days, intelligent street lamps are on the rise. These lamps adapt to movement from pedestrians, cars, cyclists, and more. That way, they don’t waste power and help develop a ‘smart city’ grid. It also prevents wasting power if there’s no one around. If the entire city is evacuated thanks to an emergency, and no one is moving, this can help save energy.
Technology has also helped develop GPS during times of crisis. If you’re trying to evacuate, it’s important that you are made aware of real-time road conditions. Is the interstate closed? Is there heavy traffic along a certain route? Maybe there’s a stalled vehicle on the side of the road or speeding traps ahead. If you’re trying to evacuate a certain area quickly, GPS can help.
As you get accustomed to matching your needs to what technology can provide, your disaster preparedness gets much easier. From mass casualty response delivered by drones to automated wildfire protection systems, technology continues to evolve and serve your most urgent needs.

I have always had the best computers that Apple offered, but the problem was that I never knew how to use them. Thanks to my GroovyTek trainer, my tech skills have increased exponentially and I am feeling more competent and confident with each lesson.
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.
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.
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.
The trainers are so friendly, and helpful. They certainly have lots of patience and knowledge. They make you feel so comfortable asking questions you would not dare ask your family to show you again how to do. They are always welcome in my home, sometimes I hate to see them go!
Very pleased with the experience. Knowledgeable trainer who was most helpful. Highly recommend the service.
I have been very pleased with the IT trainers from GroovyTek who have been to my house. They were very helpful!
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.
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!
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.
Today was my first experience with GroovyTek and it was extraordinary. I learned so much over the course of the hour AND as importantly fixed the problem I was having. The trainer was intelligent and friendly. All support was given in a very collaborative way. I am looking forward to this partnership.
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.
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!
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!
