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.

Good To Know: Your Screens May Be Keeping You Awake
How Technology May Impact Sleep Quality?
Recent studies show that the screens of our computers, tablets, and smartphones affect our ability to sleep well at night. These screens emit a spectrum of different colored light, but it is the blue light that keeps us awake into the night. We need this blue light, and get it during the day from the sun, but being exposed to blue light at night reduces the amount of the hormone melatonin that we produce for sleep, and swings our body clock later into the night. Here are some tips to help reduce our blue light consumption before bed.
Is Blue Light Actually Harmful? What are Some Tips?
- Limit your exposure to your computer, tablet, smartphone, and television 2-3 hours before bed.
- Read a paper book instead of an eBook before bedtime.
- Change your screens to filter blue light. Most Android phones have a setting to filter blue light. iPads have a setting that will filter blue light at a certain time that you set, or from dusk to dawn. Download a blue light filtering program for your computer like justgetflux.com.
- Wear blue light blocking glasses or amber-tinted glasses in the evenings. • Use dim red lights for nightlights Use coated lightbulbs in your reading lamps to reduce blue light.

I have been very pleased with the IT trainers from GroovyTek who have been to my house. They were very helpful!

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.

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!

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!

GroovyTek did a great job! My trainer was on time, professional and she solved my slow computer. Great job, GroovyTek! I will use your services again.

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.

Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
