Don't let your phone control/scare you, take control of it and use it as you wish.

We can provide the answers to those simple, and not so simple, questions. By the end of the session you will be sending email without a care in the world.

You may not be aware that the Internet is full of forums, or chat groups, that “chat” on just about any topic that you can imagine, and then some. Don't be isolated, learn how to get onto these forums and start chatting to like minded people from around the world on your special topic of interest.

Online shopping is safe, but you do need to follow some simple steps to keep it safe. Just as you wouldn't walk down a dark alley with wads of cash, you should be vigilant about where you buy from online.
- Video Chat – Do you have family and friends that you would like to see more of, but for various reasons; distance, time, weather; you never get the chance. Or maybe you have kids or grand-kids that keep pestering you to “video chat”, "Zoom", "FaceTime" or “Skype”. Video chatting can be a simple solution to “seeing” the people we wish to see but are not able to as often as we like. All you need it an Internet connection and a camera. Let Retupmoc take the mystery out of video chatting, we can even help you set it all up.
