Fun Musings about the BGAMUG Computer Club and more.
By E. Sheppard
Hi, all!
This is Betsy, webmaster in the BGAMUG Computer Club.
I saw that the BGAMUG Blog had not been updated for awhile, so I'm going to write today about some things people are talking about online (that I have looked at) are:
People are excited about the new Google Glass that is coming out. What do you all think about these new glasses that Google will be making?
Apple is coming out with a new watch too that you have probably also heard of. Other companies are watching this very closely. I wonder what they will be like.
More and more people are discovering Google+. I know I have been using it lately to find new articles. Some of the people I know from Squidoo are using it for advertising. Others share new tech discoveries there. I have made several groups there, and also have joined others. Some are tech-related, others are writing-related.
People in the BGAMUG Computer Club are using smartphones and are looking forward to learning more about apps that are popular for them. We have already found out about some of them.
Also, we have recently learned more about iTunes too. One thing that happened to me lately is that I was in touch with Apple customer service about my personal iTunes songs I used to have. I say USED to because I have a new Apple ID now.
The tech advisor on the other end of the phone at Apple helped walk me through bringing my old tunes over to my new name. I really like having these songs back. I had almost given up on being able to access them.
It's neat to realize (as many of our members did at our last BGAMUG meeting) that nowadays people have computers inbedded in many products they use. And we don't just have computers anymore. We have smart phones, tablets, and more that act like computers too. So there is a lot to learn about all of these. But I personally think it is worth learning about each new discovery.
I have been using some apps on an iPad and found out that although this item is useful and you can do a lot on it (like checking email and etc.) you can't run huge programs on them because they simply are not made for them.
What things have you learned lately? Share them as a comment or comments here.
Club members and others: if you would like to do a posting here, just let me know.
Have an exciting, great, and fun week, everyone! And thanks for stopping by.
