Helping Adults 55-Plus

Thrive With Technology

Clear, calm guidance for life in a fast-moving digital world

Technology changes fast — but understanding and keeping up with the digital world doesn’t have to be stressful.


I’m R.A. Murphy, a retired tech trainer, author, and lifelong explainer. These days, I help older adults build digital confidence so they can use technology to learn, earn, and live better.

If you’ve ever felt left behind by tech or unsure where to start, you’re in the right place. Here, you’ll find friendly, plain-language lessons, audio and video guides, and real examples that make everyday tech finally make sense.

No hype. No jargon. Just clear, useful help for real life after 55.
