Lightning Talks

  • Unemployment in the Age of AI
    Unemployment-AI Join Dina Schlesinger as she gives a NYACC talk about the future of jobs — and what happens when machines do the work.
    Will there be massive unemployment in all sectors — even entry-level white-collar jobs?
    Will people be paid not to work?
    — Dina Schlesinger
     
  • Abandonware: Sometimes … old becomes valuable again.
    Software left behind by companies, unsupported, unsold, and gathering virtual dust.
    — Hank Kee
     
  • More Abandonware: Old Productivity Software and Games that are Still Good, and How to Run them on Modern Computers
    — Brendan Kidwell
     
  • And YOUR presentation!
    Do you want to share a computer or Internet related topic? There is room in the agenda for you. Contact brendan@glump.net and I’ll add you to the list and help you prepare your presentation if you need any help. Don’t be shy!

Club member Brendan Kidwell has set up a Bulletin Board System (BBS) and a live chat room for the New York Amateur Computer Club.

The BBS is for discussions about everything the club might discuss in our general or special interest group meetings. Messages are arranged by topic and thread. Ask your computer questions and share your expertise and experiences here!
This is also a good place for setting up trades and selling used equipment that others might need.
This will also be used for text announcements and to help us stay in touch.

The chat room allows us to text chat LIVE with each other as a group — whoever happens to be online in the chat room at any given moment.

BBS: https://nyacctalk.glump.net/

Chat room: https://web.libera.chat/#nyacc

Brendan will monitor and participate in both resources. If you have trouble accessing either system, please email Brendan directly at brendan@glump.net
