  Presented by LCCUG's Sandee Ruth and Micky Knickman

  Sandee and Micky will host a presentation about YouTube!  Do you know the extent of this website?  It is not only for watching cats play the piano, though that is fun also.

  We will learn what this video sharing website is all about.  Use it to find entertainment, learn to dance, put on makeup, cook, fix a lawn mower, share family videos, watch your favorite celebrity and discover new ones. 

  We will see how to set up subscriptions and why you might want to.  You will learn how to make a play list and the advantages of doing that.

  We will also take a short video of our group and you can watch as we post it on YouTube!  We’ll all have our 15 minutes of fame!
  

  Micky will show how to download a YouTube video to save for playing later.  He will also demonstrate how to use it to learn a computer skill or do a simple fix on your PC.

  Did you know that you can rent a full-length feature film straight from YouTube?  Did you know that many of the videos now let you select a language for subtitles and provide captions?  Most of the movies are in High Definition and some are being uploaded in 3D!

  You can not only watch the videos found at YouTube on your computer but also on your smart phone, tablet, and with the right device, they can be streamed to your television.

  Come and discover a great source for learning more about your computer as well as just about every other facet of your life! 

  NOTE THE NEW LOCATION FOR THIS MEETING.  WE WILL NOT MEET AT GOULD AUDITORIUM, BUT WILL BE MEETING AT THE:

  Amherst Church of the Nazarene, 210 Cooper Foster Park Rd.

  ALSO, NOTE THE NEW EARLIER STARTING TIME is 6:30 PM for the presentation.

  *Protecting yourself and your identity online:*

  by Bob Gostischa

  
  

  It’s common wisdom that avoiding suspicious web-based content and especially ‘dodgy’ websites will keep you safe on the Internet.
  Unfortunately, that sort of information is ‘old and outdated technology’. Internet security (protecting both your computer and your identity online) can, however, be demystified. 

  This presentation focuses on normal computer users, rather than “IT geeks,” and clearly explains security myths, Internet dos and don’ts, the evolution of computer threats, and more. Join presenter Bob Gostischa, as he simplifies, clarifies, and demystifies your
  computer, making your Internet experience a safe one and explaining why
  even AARP recommends avast!  

  
  

  Norbert “Bob” Gostischa, after a successful career in banking, enjoys his retirement as an enthusiast IT security expert, most notably for Avast Software. Avast is the creator of avast! antivirus software. The avast! website has a discussion and help forum, where Bob has been helping with security-related issues since 2004, having contributed over 16,000 forum interactions. avast! is one of the most popular antivirus softwares in the world. Avast has been making security software for over 20 years and has more than 150 million users worldwide. 

       We continue to field audience computer and program related questions at 6:00.  A short meeting will take place at 6:30 pm with the program immediately following. A Question and Answer session comes after the program.
