Tech Made Clear, Calm, and Personal—For Life After 55

Hi, I’m Ron Murphy—though I go by R.A. Murphy in most of my writing and audio work.

With more than 40 years in technology and training, I help older adults gain confidence using digital tools, one calm step at a time. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by today’s tech—or simply want to stay sharp, safe, and connected—you’re in the right place.

From Code to Clarity: A Lifetime in Tech

I started my career as a computer programmer, back when big companies were the only ones who could afford computers. Office buildings had dedicated computer rooms for the IBM mainframes.
Over the years, I’ve worn many hats—tech support rep, training developer, technical writer, university instructor, IT Manager for a national real estate firm and finally consultant.

After retiring from full-time IT, I turned my focus to helping others learn—especially older adults who often get left behind in the digital age.

Fun fact: I registered RAMurphy.com in 1996, when the web was still finding its footing. Even then, I knew the real challenge wasn’t building websites—it was helping people understand what they were seeing.

Tech Isn’t Just About Devices. It’s About People.

Many older adults feel left out of the digital world—not because they’re incapable, but because no one took the time to teach them in a way that makes sense.

That’s what I do here at RAMurphy.com.
I offer clear, respectful tech education that meets people where they are.

Whether it’s:

Learning how to manage email

Avoiding online scams

Using your smartphone with confidence

Or just understanding what “AI” really means...

…I’m here to help you feel less frustrated and more in control.
