Bud Roley with Indentification
Devices,L.L.C. will be the presenter
TOPIC: Identification Devices introduces “iD” - a personal
electronic identification device that utilizes a custom USB flash
drive to store your complete emergency and medical information. The
device features an auto-loading “form” which the owner completes to
store critical, life-saving information that can be utilized by
emergency personnel at the scene of an accident. Detailed
information can be entered through the use of the form’s expansion
fields.
Information such as medical conditions, allergies, medications, and
even DNR and Living Will documents can be stored on the device to
ensure that proper care is given to those in need. In addition, the
form includes a photo of the owner, and the device itself is easily
recognized by police, fire fighters, and EMT members because of the
universal medical symbol found on its exterior.
“iD” requires no special software, and can be read using any Windows
computer with a USB port (sorry, “iD” will not work on a Mac).

Abby Stokes Presentation
Listen to a reassuring,
jargon-free, and totally straightforward nuts-and-bolts
presentation that will introduce late bloomers,
grandparents, technophobes, and the digitally challenged to
all the wonders of using a computer, and have the audience
using digital cameras and PDAs with ease.
The people who did not
grow up with personal computers will learn everything they
need to get wired: how to select, buy, and set up computer;
how to sign up for e-mail and internet access, and how to
use the world wide web. They will receive information on
peripherals—printers, scanners, wireless modems—and basic
software, such as word processing programs. They will delve
further into the online world to discover search engines and
web navigation, information on online banking and shopping.
Security issues,
"netiquette," blogs, and digital photos—transferring them
from camera to computer and sending them as attachments will
be discussed.
A companion website,
www.abbyandme.com,
offers a safe place to practice and keep learning including
recommended websites, tutorials, a resource list, and more.
Abby who has a gift for taking the terrified by the hand and
teaching old dogs new tricks has single-handedly demystified
computers for over 135,000 people, mostly seniors, in the
course of the past 17 years. Abby has taught courses in
basic computing at both Cooper Union and New York
University’s School of Lifelong Learning, as well as
computer skills to private and corporate clients. She has
lectured on the topic across the country. A firm believer
that “if my mother can learn the computer anyone can,” Abby
is confident that everyone can master the computer and
navigate the Internet. Abby is the author of "Is This Thing
On?" A Computer Handbook for Late Bloomers, Technophobes,
and the Kicking Screaming.

Avast: Protecting yourself and
your identity online
It’s common
wisdom that avoiding suspicious web-based content and
especially ‘dodgy’ websites will keep you safe on the
Internet. Unfortunately, that sort of information is ‘old
and outdated technology’.
Internet security (protecting both your computer and your
identity online) can, however, be demystified. This
presentation focuses on normal computer users, rather than
“IT geeks,” and clearly explains security myths, Internet
dos and don’ts, the evolution of computer threats, and more.
Join presenter Bob Gostischa, as he simplifies, clarifies,
and demystifies your computer, making your Internet
experience a safe one and explaining why even AARP
recommends avast!
About the prese nter
Norbert “Bob” Gostischa, after a
successful career in banking, enjoys his retirement as an
enthusiast IT security expert, most notably for
Avast Software,
the creator of avast! antivirus software. The avast! website
has a discussion and help forum, where Bob has been helping
with security-related issues since 2004, having contributed
over 15,000 forum interactions. avast! is one of the most
popular antivirus softwares in the world. Avast has been
making security software for over 20 years and has more than
160 million users worldwide.
Although my
presentation is not a sales pitch for Avast, mentioning the
company and their Software in your announcements would still
be appreciated.
A six minute
sample featuring the beginning portion of the presentation
