I found your article on Ubiquitous Computing fascinating...and wondered...may I use extracts of it in our newsletter? We concentrate on the PC, but many of us elders use Mobile Phones and Skype and post things on FaceBook due to our younger generation family members. But how many of us are aware of the computer chips in our cars, washing machines, etc? And I don't think most of us are aware of the computer driven 'network' in the larger sense. Also, would you possibly be able to come and talk at one of our Members' Meetings later in the year? Grant Sidaway, the Executive Officer and heart and soul of the New Zealand SeniorNet Federation, trys to make our seniors aware of the larger world of technology...and we gasp. It would be great to hear from another source about this and the Ubiquitous Computer article made it sound like YOU might be just right, if you could spare us the time.
