Origins
Many of the Cypress Gardens residents ask for help with their mobile phones and laptops. It is a constant battle to learn how to use and update these devices, never mind finding new apps to help with daily living and communicating with friends and family.
Tech over Coffee meetings allow anyone to join a group over coffee/tea in the Lounge. Mobile phones and laptops are encouraged as well as a plate of cookies, but come along and join in the conversation even if you don't own a computing device.
As well as discussing and hopefully solving problems with individual devices, attendees will mention apps they are using, their features and how they help in day-to-day living. Where meetings bring forward useful information then the links will be stored on this site to form a permanent archive of handy tech resources. This public site is accessible on a 24/7 basis for reference. Everyone is encouraged to bring forward additional resources they have discovered.
The inaugural meeting took place on Wednesday 30 March at 11.00 am in the Bar. The agenda and notes for this and upcoming meetings can be accessed via the Meetings menu.
