Technology STAY SAFE USING TECHNOLOGY | 50+ YRS Cynthia King We could drive places more quickly if we left our cars unlocked and running with the keys in the ignition. But we do not. It would not be safe. Similarly, apps and websites promise to accomplish tasks in minutes that used to take hours and a trip to somewhere you had to wait in line. This class shows you how to protect your identity online and on the web, keeping personal information safer. 552278 A 1-2 pm W 4/3 Senior Center Bldg 1, Rm 104 $5 INTRO TO DIGITAL PHOTO EDITING | 50+ YRS David Holtzapple Learn the basic techniques that can be done with modern computerized editing software as well as discussion of capabilities and purposes for some of the most popular and powerful of the editing software available.
