The Digital Technologies Discussion group is for digitally skilled people to discuss the software, hardware, networking, standards and all things digital as we face it today.

 

There is no schedule of talks although members are still very welcome to give short talks on specific topics they've researched.
The aim is for members to discuss anything interesting, crypto latest, what's new for Microsoft and Apple, the latest home tech, quantum computer news, some interesting app or how technologies affect us especially AI.
 
We meet in-person at the Pottery room at 10am on the third Tuesday of the month. We will only use Zoom instead if absolutely necessary. 

To gauge your proficiency for the group please consider yourself against these abilities.
