Finding Meaning and Motivation in Technology
Nowadays, it feels as if everyone is being pushed to step up their knowledge of technology. It is almost assumed that people realize how important and even "fun" it is to dig in and learn more about the latest technology devices and applications. There is almost a sense of shame associated with not being "techy" or not being excited about "nerding out" and learning all the bells and whistles that come with these phones or computers we are all being encouraged to buy use more and more.
For those feeling that way, take a deep breath. The approach and messaging in assuming or shaming people about their relationship with technology is plain wrong and is a disservice to society in general. Instead, why don't we take the approach of viewing technology tools to facilitate our individual goals and desires for overall wellbeing?
Everyone is on their own journey and has their own definition of well-being and their own journey and relationship with technology. If we look at these journeys from a parallel perspective, it might help to take the edge out of the societal assumptions associated with technology education and learning.
Let's start looking at what WE can get out of learning more about certain new technology tools.
Considering the seven dimensions of well-being from a tech perspective, we can decide based on our own wellness goals as to whether or not it is worth it to expend effort and energy learning how to use new tools. For example, looking at the vocational aspect of wellbeing, how can a bit of a tech tune-up help us with that dimension? Well, I think we can start by exploring the new job and resume platforms available from Indeed to Craig's list and more. While we are at it, why don't we learn how to set up a LinkedIn profile and use that as our first step into vocational explorations online and social media platforms in general.
At GroovyTek, we believe that nothing should be assumed, and nobody should ever feel shame regarding their relationship with technology. We are dedicated to providing a one-on-one resource for people to learn more about technology on their own terms while always being treated with the utmost patience and respect. So, moving forward, don't let people tell you that you need to be more "techy," instead, take a step back and think about how you can use technology to achieve your individual goals related to your overall wellness.

Client Reviews
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!

Dear GroovyTek team, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this very supportive and beneficial service you provide! I am so grateful!

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.
Tom D
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
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.
Jeff W
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!
Jean G
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.
John B
Very pleased with the experience. Knowledgeable trainer who was most helpful. Highly recommend the service.

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.

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
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!
Debera F
GroovyTek has helped me, a 65 year old, learn how to do all sorts of things on my computer that I did not know about before. I had no one else to ask, and they have rescued me. It's so great to have a polite, friendly, knowledgeable person come to my house and teach me. What a wonderful service!
Margie C
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.
