About Us
Tech Made Easy for the Young at Heart!
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!
🍁 October: Don't Be Spooked by Technology
October brings a little change,
New colors, cooler days—and tech may seem strange.
But don’t let buttons give you a fright,
With a little practice, you’ll get it right!
A suspicious text? Don’t click too fast.
Pause and think before you act.
A password strong, a scam you spot—
Look at all the knowledge you’ve got!
Technology changes, and that’s okay,
We’re learning together along the way.
No question too small, no need to stress,
Each new skill is another success.
So this October, be brave and explore,
There’s always something new in store.
One click, one lesson, one step at a time—
At TEKMEOUT, you’re doing just fine! 💚💙

Your phone
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.
💻 TEKMEOUT Tech Tip of the Month
🎃 October Tech Tip: STOP Before You Click!
Got a text or email saying “Act now!”, “Your account has been locked!” or “Click here immediately!”?
STOP. Don’t click the link.
Scammers often create urgency so you react before you think. Instead, open the company’s official app or type its website into your browser yourself.
Remember: A few extra seconds can protect your personal information, your money, and your peace of mind. 💚
TEKMEOUT — Tech Made Easy for the Young at Heart!
🍂 What Can Seniors Do This October?
🚶🏾 Get Moving — Take a walk around the neighborhood, at a park, or even indoors at the mall. Invite a friend and make it social. If you use a smartphone or smartwatch, check your steps afterward!
🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — Use this month as a reminder to stay on top of your health. If you’re due for a mammogram, talk with your healthcare provider about scheduling one. And remind a sister, daughter, friend, or loved one too. 💗
🍁 Get Out & Get Connected — Check your local senior center, library, church, or park district for fall activities. Try one new activity this month.
📱 Use Your Technology — Find an event on your phone, use Maps to get there, add it to your calendar, and set a reminder. That’s technology working for YOU!
👻 TEKMEOUT October Challenge — Before clicking a link in a text or email, STOP. LOOK. THINK. If something feels suspicious, don’t click it.
