TEACHING EVERYONE KNOWLEDGE

Teaching young at hearts about technology allows them to keep in touch with younger generations who are almost always texting, tweeting, snap chatting, instagramming, or posting pictures on Facebook. Thus, our program bridges the generational gap and provides young at hearts an opportunity to qualitatively enhance their life in their later years! 

If you've ever heard that your phone harbors more bacteria than a toilet seat, it's true (and pretty gross). With that in mind, you should be regularly disinfecting the device that touches your skin multiple times throughout the day. Cleaning your phone can help make it last longer, but how often do you need to?

Ideally, you should clean your phone at least once a day by following your phone's manual for cleaning instructions. Cleaning your device the wrong way (like using rubbing alcohol and paper towels) can strip away coatings that protect your screen. There are safer items that will do the trick. 

If you touch your phone after touching a public door handle or grocery cart, your first thought might be to clean it with rubbing alcohol. Don't. Straight alcohol can strip the oleophobic and hydrophobic coatings that keep oil and water from damaging your phone's display and other ports.  

🍁 November: A Little Connection Goes a Long Way!

Did you know your smartphone can help brighten someone’s entire day? ❤️

This November, let’s use technology for more than scrolling, checking emails, or playing games. Let’s use it to spread a little love!

📱 Make a Video Call: Use FaceTime, WhatsApp, or another video calling app to see a loved one’s smiling face.

💌 Send a Thoughtful Message: Reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. A simple “I’m thinking of you” can mean more than you know.

📸 Share a Memory: Find an old picture on your phone and send it to a family member or friend. You might make their day!

📅 Set a Reminder: Use your phone’s calendar to remember birthdays, family gatherings, and special occasions.

💚 Your November TEKMEOUT Challenge

Reconnect with THREE people this month!

Call one. Text one. Video chat with one.

And here’s the best part: You don’t have to be a technology expert to make someone’s day!

Remember: Technology is the tool. Connection is the gift. ❤️

TEKMEOUT — Tech Made Easy for the Young at Heart!

Stay Active. Stay Connected. Stay Healthy. Keep Learning!

November is a beautiful time to slow down, appreciate life’s blessings, and find new ways to stay active and connected.

At TEKMEOUT, we believe living well means caring for your mind, body, and spirit while embracing opportunities to learn and grow.

Here are four ways to make November meaningful!

💻 1. TECHNOLOGY — Connect With Someone You Love

This month, use your smartphone to spread a little gratitude!

Make a video call to a family member or friend.

Send a thoughtful text to someone you appreciate.

Learn how to share a favorite photograph.

Use your phone’s calendar to schedule a family gathering.

November Challenge: Reach out to three people you haven’t connected with recently.

Technology is the tool. Connection is the gift!

🚶🏾 2. ACTIVITY — Keep Your Body Moving!

As temperatures get cooler, don’t let the change in seasons stop you from moving.

Take a 10–15-minute walk at a comfortable pace, if you’re able.

Invite a friend or neighbor to walk with you.

Try gentle chair exercises or stretching suited to your abilities.

Use your smartphone or smartwatch to track your movement.

November Challenge: Choose three days each week to enjoy some gentle physical activity appropriate for you.

Every movement matters. Move at your own pace!

🤝🏾 3. COMMUNITY — Get Out and Enjoy Life!

There’s so much to enjoy in your community this season!

Visit your local senior center for games, classes, or social activities.

Attend a church gathering or community event.

Explore free programs at your neighborhood library.

Invite someone to coffee, lunch, or a community Thanksgiving gathering.

Check your local park district for activities designed for older adults.

November Challenge: Attend one community activity and invite someone to join you!

Staying connected helps make life richer!

❤️ 4. WELLNESS — Make Your Health a Priority!

November is a wonderful reminder to care for yourself, too.

Schedule any overdue routine medical appointments.

Review your medications with your pharmacist or healthcare provider.

Drink water regularly throughout the day, unless your healthcare team has advised you to limit fluids.

Check with your healthcare provider about recommended vaccinations and preventive screenings.

Take time to rest, relax, and enjoy moments of gratitude.

November Challenge: Do one thing this month that supports your physical, mental, or emotional well-being.

Taking care of yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
