Grand Marais Public Library is set to host Lighthouse Center for Vision Loss, Duluth, for a presentation titled “Technology and Me” at the library on Wednesday, March 27, at 6 p.m. This presentation is aimed at individuals 55 and older and their family members, and is not limited to those who have issues of vision loss. All ages and abilities are invited to attend. Presenter is scheduled to be Aaron Windsor, Lighthouse technology instructor.
The focus of this event is Online Security: Passwords, Phishing, and Safe Practices. Other topics that may be covered include: How technology can improve the lives of those 55 and older, smartphones, tablets, apps, Alexa and internet use, magnification and reading aids, health monitors and home safety, and staying connected.
Those who care to attend are encouraged to think about what was their original purpose in purchasing their device, and then to consider what kinds of problems have been encountered in regard to achieving those goals. Doing so will help formulate a question to be asked of the presenter at the event that may help overcome such barriers.
This event is sponsored by Lighthouse Center for Vision Loss and the Lloyd K. Johnson Foundation and is free and open to the general public.
