During the Covid19 pandemic, tech use by seniors has skyrocketed.  Tekmar’s tech support for senior citizens program makes it easy for these users get help when they need it. Studies show (see below) that seniors are adopting technology like crazy and using connected devises much more. 

There is still a level of apprehension, and that is what we do something about. Our program and skilled support staff (more than 20 years in computer support) speaks in plain English and takes time on phone support or house calls to understand the problem.

Tekmar specializes in making computing safer and easier for elder uses. We grew up using computers and have helped thousands of people to get more out of their electronics, PC(s), tablets and cellular phones for the last twenty-five years. We believe that systems, no matter what kind can be useful, fun, and secure.  They need affordable too. This page explains why and how device users of all ages can protect, preserve, and enhance the devices.  Everyone can have a good experience and struggle less with technology.

“It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another, but above all, try something.”
