Hello, friends!
If you're here, it's because you want to learn what the Internet has to offer. Now, the Internet is a wide and wondrous place, but it doesn't have to be intimidating. Sure, there are over 175 million websites on the Internet today (and that's just counting the ones that people actually use), but at Techboomers, we've done the sorting and heavy lifting for you.
Here, you'll find tutorials on the most popular and useful websites on the Internet, from social networks and dating sites to everyday tools for getting directions and knowing what the weather's going to be like. You can even learn how to listen to music, watch videos, and have phone calls right on your computer through the power of the Internet! Plus, we have special resources dedicated to 50+ adults.
Come learn how the Internet can make your life better and easier today!
So, what is Techboomers?
Our founder, Steve Black, got the idea for Techboomers when he ran into the problem of how to teach his mom and other relatives how to use the Internet while he was busy running his SEO consulting business. When he couldn't find a website with free, clear, and up-to-date lessons that could let his relatives learn on their own, he decided to make one himself. Using his business savvy, he recruited a team of writers, videographers, marketers, and website developers, and his vision for Techboomers came to life.
In this sense, Techboomers is a thank-you gift to the "baby boomer" generation (hence our name). They taught us how to grow up in their world, so now we're returning the favour by teaching them how to keep up with our world. Of course, Techboomers isn't just for older adults; anyone looking to advance beyond basic computer skills, or just wanting to learn about a new website, is welcome to learn with us.
We work hard to make sure that all of our tutorials are complete, simple to understand, and -- most importantly -- always free to access and use however you want. That's our pledge to you.
