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!
Vehicles for hire have existed since the 1600s. First there were hackney carriages, then yellow cabs, and even electric-powered taxicabs in the late 1800s. The yellow taxis have been around for over a hundred years now! For over 400 years, people obtained transportation for their specific point A to specific point B from a fulltime, professional driver.
Uber came along in 2009 and disrupted that tradition by providing the platform for peer-to-peer transportation. Meaning, Uber’s technology serves as the middleman to connect a driver with a car, with someone who needs a ride at that very moment, in that area.
There are many legal cases active across the globe involving Uber as it spreads its footprint. Obviously, the rise of Uber has impacted traditional transportation companies and unions. Uber is further looking to expand its opportunities by developing Uber Eats (a food delivery service), as well as partnering with aviation and boats for Uber-style service offerings.

Airbnb and its technology connects property owners with folks in search of lodging. Essentially, Airbnb is removing both the hotel and the travel agent from the equation of finding quality lodgings across the world, while directly connecting owners and renters.
Airbnb has also opened up the options available to travelers. No longer are travelers limited to just hotel rooms and bed and breakfasts. Now, renters are able to choose from new options for their upcoming visits, including renting an entire private home, condos, or even just a spare bedroom in someone’s home.
Airbnb users feel a sense of community with the other users, and rely on ratings and reviews when making their decisions.
Airbnb is also known for its slick technology focused on providing great photos of the property, and making it as easy as possible for travelers to explore lodging options across the world from their smartphone!

In the late 1990s, Netflix revolutionized the home movie-watching experience by letting us rent DVDs by mail. Ten years later, they innovated again by using video streaming to let us pick from a library of thousands of movies and TV shows from our homes.
Netflix is now a force in the production of new content. Their impact is disrupting the movie studio environment, and they are green-lighting many types of TV shows and movies that would not have stood a chance of being produced by the traditional production companies.
Further, Netflix is changing how content is being consumed. Not only do they recommend content for you, they release their TV series in a block format—all of the shows from one season are released on the same day. This release style gives the consumer control of when to watch what they want, and on the device of their choice.

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 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.
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!
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 think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.
My tech from GoovyTek has been terrific. He is patient, knowledgeable, and explains things really well. I enjoyed learning new tools and features on my smart phone and computer. They have made doing things a lot easier and more enjoyable.
I have been very pleased with the IT trainers from GroovyTek who have been to my house. They were very helpful!
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.
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 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.
