Today, we’ll be discussing ways you can use your personal technology to help you stay informed and entertained, whether you want to keep up with the daily news cycle, virtually tour museums you wish you could visit in person or you want to start streaming new documentaries and shows through Netflix. We’re facing new challenges, including more time spent at home and less money to spend. The accessibility and reach of our personal technology devices can improve our capacity to deal with these lifestyle changes.
In today’s session, called Staying Informed and Entertained, we’ll be discussing the different apps and services we can utilize to stream movies, television, music, and radio. We’ll also be talking about podcasts, virtual opportunities for arts and culture, and more.
The first one we’re going to talk about is Prime Video. It’s an app where you can stream TV shows and movies and it’s free with an Amazon Prime membership. Netflix provides an array of TV shows, movies, and more with an impressive library and great Netflix originals. YouTube TV is a live TV service that allows you to stream live cable television with other 70+ channels. Finally, Disney+ is the best of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic all under one streaming service. In this new era, it appears to be the streaming services that are in a position to become the new power brokers in Hollywood.
We’ll also talk about podcast platforms like Stitcher, Laughable, and Overcast, as we have seen a large rise in interest in this form of audio content. We’ll cover music streaming services such as Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and Pandora. And, if you’re interested in virtual reality, we’re also covering popular offerings like artists streaming their concerts and 3D museum tours.
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 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.

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.
Jennifer H
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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
Judy K
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.
Marcia F
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.
Eva S
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
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!
