Preserving Digital Photos
Mark Schulman, Member, Central Florida Computer Society

Digital photos ought to last forever. Digital photos don’t fade with time and can be protected against natural disasters such as fire and floods. That’s the theory, anyway.  And yet, if you’re one of the millions of people with a digital camera, the chances of your great-grandchildren ever seeing your digital photos are very slim. Find out why the odds are stacked against you and what you can do to increase the chances that your family historian 200 years from now will be able to enjoy the photos you’re taking now.

Is Cyber Security Really Important?
Bob Gostischa, Avast Evangelist

Paying attention to Cyber Security is more critical today than it has ever been. COVID-19 has exposed many more vulnerabilities than in prior years. More of us are now working from home, many children are learning from home, and many of us have added more IoT devices to make our lives easier. Unfortunately, these devices present their own dangers, which need to be addressed.

This presentation points out the dangers and offers suggestions that will aid in keeping you secure. Using the right programs and apps can help keep you safe and secure and reduce your privacy exposure. Using free programs and apps whenever possible to accomplish this goal is a bonus, and this presentation includes information on many recommended free programs. Join presenter Bob Gostischa as he guides you towards secure Cyber Security practices.
