TECH TALK
New advances in technology are changing the lives of many people who
are blind or low-vision. Come and be part of a group that will meet
every month to discuss and help you better understand many types of
Assistive Technologies that can help you to Be more independent and
productive. Whether you are new to technology or know your way around,
participating in “Tech Talk” is a great way to meet others like you
who want to learn more about or enjoy talking tech.
Join us this month for a discussion about the new iPhones and
especially IOS 8. This highly anticipated major update to Apple’s
mobile operating system gives us some powerful new features but
unfortunately also introduced numerous “bugs” affecting accessibility
that for some, caused serious disruption to functionality. While it is
all but impossible to downgrade, there are some work arounds that can
help us persevere until the next major update (IOS 8.1) rumored to
come out on October 20th which will activate Apple Pay and hopefully
include fixes to some of these nasty bugs. We can also discuss the
good things that were introduced in IOS 8, some of which are yet to
come. As an added bonus, we will also be joined by Cara Quinn from
LookTel and owner of the well known and very informative VIPhone Group
Mailing List, who can enhance our discussion by sharing her knowledge
thus helping us to gain a better understanding of how IOS works under
the hood. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this meeting.
