Technology SIG

New Technology SIG!

Many women struggle to resolve issues with their electronic devices. 

In 1988 I (Pam E) got my first Apple computer and have loved it ever since. For over 15 years, I have worked as a technical trainer for senior individuals.

This SIG will concentrate on solving your TECH problems. I will present a topic, then we will open it up to your questions.

Topics include: Security, Password Management, Removing Tracking, Managing Files and so on.

Bring your devices and questions. I have experience with both Apple and PC devices.

We will meet on the second Thursday of the month starting March 13, 2025

10:00-11:45am

Golden Valley Library Rm 59 (Library limits the room to 8 people)

830 Winnetka Ave N

March 13, 2025 was the first meeting of the NEW Technology SIG. Four members of our chapter came to the Golden Valley Library to learn about Digital Footprints and the importance of monitoring your online presence. Every time you're online you create a trail of every action you've taken – even with content you've viewed outside social media. Leaving a positive Digital Footprint can be very beneficial to your reputation and future opportunities.

View this link and follow the steps to remove Facebook Tracking on all your devices. If you change the settings for an App on one device it will apply across your devices

Settings for Safari and Crome also need to be adjusted to prevent Tracking.
