Hi, I’m R. A. Murphy—your guide to using tech more easily and confidently in this digital age.
I’ve spent over 40 years working with technology and teaching others how to use it. From the old IBM systems that took up whole rooms, to today’s tiny smartphones, I’ve seen the progression—and I've seen how many struggle to keep up.
Though it's sometimes a challenge, I believe older adults like us can thrive in today’s digital world when we’re given the right support.
Whether you're trying to organize your digital life, earn income online, or just stop feeling left behind, I believe I can help.
My work is designed to help you learn what matters, and skip what doesn’t. I can help you discover how technology can support a life of meaning, freedom, and creativity—after 55 and beyond.
