The true value of technology lies in knowing how to effectively utilize it to its full potential. Without this knowledge, even the most sophisticated computer system can be reduced to an underutilized asset, akin to an expensive doorstop. This is where my expertise, honed over decades of experience in the tech industry, comes into play. My journey with technology began with the purchase of a Vic 20 computer in 1981, sparking a lifelong passion for learning, programming, and building computers. Since those early days, my mission has been to unlock the wonders of technology for others, just as I did for myself. ### Personalized Technology Training and Support Here’s how I, as The Tech Pastor, can help make technology useful and accessible to you: 1. **Customized Training Sessions**: Whether you're a beginner or an advanced user, I provide personalized training sessions tailored to your skill level and objectives. - *Example*: For a beginner, I can start with the basics of operating a computer, internet browsing, and basic cybersecurity practices.
