Computers for the Faint of Heart

Abby Stokes, the author of "Is this Thing On? A Computer Handbook for Late Bloomers, Technophobes and the Kicking & Screaming", offers a free, "low tech" lecture aimed at those who did not grow up with a personal computer or the current range of electronic devices. She has taught courses in basic computing at the Cooper Union and New York University’s School of Lifelong Learning, as well as computer skills to private and corporate clients in the course of the past 17 years. With jargon-free talk, she will bring the digitally challenged along on topics such as buying a computer, email, even Facebook and Twitter!! A firm believer that “if my mother can learn the computer anyone can,” she is confident that everyone can master the computer and navigate the Internet. Come with questions! Books will be available for signing and purchase. Registration suggested at reference@ewml.org or by calling the Adult Services Desk at 203-452-2850 x 6.
