Our November session featured Bill Parris’s collection of watches. Bill began to buy quirky, inexpensive watches after a valuable watch he received for 30 years of service disappeared. We had great fun looking at Bill’s Rolex, Gucci and other brand-named imitations. Bill also provided an overview of changing watch making technology over time and intrigued us with his collection of watch maker’s repair tools bought inexpensively over the internet. Next step for Bill – a presentation at ‘Collectors’!
Tech Savvy has been renamed ‘Tech Savvy Talks’ in 2017 to distinguish it from other Tech Savvy groups. Monthly sessions will continue to commence with a TED talk on a topic of interest followed by a guest presentation and then time for our ‘Mentors’ and ‘Tech Savvies’ working groups to meet. In 2017 ‘Mentors’ will support the Tech Savvy Beginners course, while the ‘Tech Savvies’ reading group will meet at a local cafe on the alternative fortnight to discuss the Internet of things (IoT) and other developments in computer and communications technology .
