Say Hello
Can’t wait to be back at Cessnock Library again. This is a great series, free for all, and plenty of fun!
Join me from September !Have no fear, Cessnock Library is here! Head on down to the Cessnock City Library to be a tech savvy senior. Free workshops are being held next month to teach seniors everything they need to know to become a tech whiz! For more info see bit.ly/2H7EDJm
On Thursday, the DotJess Team, along with the support of Rotary Club of Wallsend-Maryland, offered free tech support to shoppers at Wallsend Village. Many seniors talked about not having any internet or computer access at all, which highlights the reality of the digital divide for people over 65.
We handed out so much info on the Be Connected program that we ran out of booklets.
For anyone who wants to sign up, or sign a senior up, head to www.dotjess.com/learn and follow the instructions.
One of my favourite Friday facts!!FRIDAY FACT
On September 9, 1945, a Harvard technical team found something unusual in their Mark I calculator. It was a moth, which they promptly removed and taped in the log book.
Dr Grace Hopper added the caption "First actual case of bug being found," and that's the first time anyone used the word bug to describe a computer glitch. Naturally, the term debugging followed.
Aside from penning the now-common term, Hopper is best known for her trailblazing contributions to the development of computer languages.

Being SCAM AWARE is so important - for every single one of us. The age old saying “If it’s too good to be true, it is!” applies to all emails. If it doesn’t feel right, use caution or check with Google.
I run a great workshop called THE DANGER DETECTIVE, which helps people of all ages learn about how to recognise scams. I can be booked for community groups, church groups, business collectives, employee training or even, one on one. Find out more at www.dotjess.com/learnIt's National Scam Awareness Week ⚠️⚠️⚠️
Novocastrians contact my office all the time to let me know that they have been contacted by scammers (often pretending to be from Telstra or the NBN for example).
In 2018 Australians lost almost half a billion dollars to scammers. Please be careful online and on the phone - and have a look at www.scamwatch.gov.au to stay up to date!
Winter, welcome Hannah and when Pink Meets Teal.
