Title: Health and Technology
Time: 10 August 2023 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Place: Online Zoom meeting only; see description
Presented by Bill Crowe
Director for the Sarasota Technology Users Group
Remember the guy with the two-way wrist radio? He was fighting crime, but in this presentation we fight for our health.
There have been many advances in technology already in the 21st Century. Many have focused on gathering information about our health more frequently and making it more available to us. With the advent of smartphones and watches, we can now collect this information in real time, and in some cases, our devices can even sense and save the data for us on their own. This presentation focuses on identifying and using these technologies to make our lives safer, and hopefully help us become healthier.
Bill Crowe serves as a director for the Sarasota Technology Users Group. In addition, he is a classroom instructor and Forum leader for Apple products. Bill teaches Intro to Computers, Windows, Excel, Word, and various iPhone and iPad courses for Sarasota Adult and Community Enrichment (ACE). He has taught computer-related classes at New Horizons, Community College of Vermont, and Saint Michaels College in Vermont.

The New York Amateur Computer Club was established in March 1975 with the mission to further education in diverse areas of personal computing. The presentations at monthly meetings cover various platform computing systems and range from in-depth technical subjects to general overviews with broad appeal.
General meetings are always held on the second Thursday of each month and start promptly at 7 PM with announcements followed by a period of Questions and Answers called Random Access in which members and visitors are encouraged to ask technical questions or ask for advice on purchasing or using software, hardware, and related issues. There is a short break before the main presentation to enable attendees to meet and greet each other and to buttonhole people to get more detailed answers to specific questions. As an alternate to the main meeting, if a few people are interested, a new- or prospective-user group meeting is held to assist beginners.
The general meetings are open without charge to the public. Please consider becoming a member for $20 per year or renewing your membership, to help cover our operating costs. See instructions at nyacc.org .
