Boomer Tech Guy is YOUR Technology Help Site!
Welcome to your blog and website. Thank you for dropping by to see what you are writing. YES, you are creating the content here because our purpose is to serve your needs. Boomer Tech Guy exists to be your technology help site for your devices. We may write the articles and posts or take advantage of guest authors but you will decide the ongoing content. Our readers know more about what they want than we could ever guess.
So, what is the focus of Boomer Tech Guy’s technology help?
Your Smartphones, Tablets, and Computers
The purpose of Boomer Tech Guy is to support Boomers and their families in getting the most from their smartphones, tablets, and computers. This evolving technology help blog is driven by member feedback on topics of interest related to smartphones, tablets, and computers.
You bought that fancy new phone. Now what? Did you get some great help at that retail kiosk where the twenty-something showed you fifteen things you could do in twenty-seconds? They even had you set your passcode yourself. Might have even helped you set up your email account. Now, where was that icon? Even as an experienced user, I need a little help with a new device. Boomer Tech Guy is here for you.
Been Using Technology for Years
Maybe you are like my partner and me. You have been using technology for years and are comfortable with it. You even know how to Google to refresh your memory for that task you only do three times a year. What can we do for you?
Remember the curse of the competent, everyone asks you “How do I…?” You fill in the blank. You know who you are and what everyone knows you can do. Boomer Tech Guy can be your helper. Go from being a crutch to being a resource by referring your friends to a safe place to learn without you holding their hand several times a day. Working with us, you can tell them where to go and have them leave with a smile.
If you are the go-to source in your crowd, you will grow in value as you guide us in providing tools to answer the questions you are asked most often. I know what it’s like. Truth be told, I’m that guy too, and have been since college. I know first hand the struggle of wanting to be helpful and needing to meet my own commitments. Boomer Tech Guy is here to help you do both.
Who knows, you might even see a topic or two you haven’t become an expert on yet. Check out the list of some upcoming topics in development. While you’re here, add a comment on the three topics you are asked to help with most often.
Not a Boomer?
Are you about to leave because you are not a boomer? Hold on for one more moment. Do you know a boomer or have parents or grandparents that are boomers? Maybe even the next door neighbor.
You love answering all their questions about technology. Right? You look forward to that 3 o’clock call as you hurry to get snacks for the kids or finish two more emails before your next meeting. “Hey, how do I find Candy Crush?” or “I can’t see the kids pictures, where did you put them?”
We are here for you, with simple guides that you can use to teach your friends and family the basic tasks in today’s technology-enabled life. Whether you choose to print out a guide and walk them through it or just send them a quick link, Boomer Tech Guy is there for you and yours.
Who knows, you may find yourself printing a few cheat sheets to glance at on occasion.
