8 • O U T PA T I E N T S U R G E R Y M A G A Z I N E • J U L Y 2 0 1 8 M y son, Dan, taught me how to Venmo on GroupMe. Say what? He introduced me to both apps a few months ago while studying abroad for a semester in Singapore. On GroupMe, a free texting app, he happened to men- tion that his funds were run- ning low. The only way to replenish his account was to use a money-transferring app called Venmo, he said. "Can I figure Venmo out?" I asked. "Just need to link bank account and credit card, probably confirm an email or phone number, and give your username," Dan texted back. "Ok. How do you get $?" I asked. "I press a button and it transfers to my bank account," wrote Dan. "Very reliable. Everyone uses it today all over the world." Everyone but me, I thought. But damn if I didn't download the Venmo app, set up an account and Venmo (yes, it's a verb!) my 19- year-old money. What in the world just app-ened? Hey, if I can learn a new app, anyone can. Can You Teach an Old Guy New Apps? Even the tech-challenged can rule the world with their mobile devices. Editor's Page Dan O'Connor • TECH SUPPORT My son, Dan, taught his old man how to Venmo on GroupMe.
