@julieo4 HLAA webinars/conferences do sound great, bu unforunately the vast majority are Zoom only. There are still millions of us who do not have access to or possess the equipment that Zoom requires. We do not have or use smart technology so we currently have no direct access to such critical communication from HLAA.

(Zoom will not accept/recognize PC desktops computer speakers: without cameras/microphones no dice. Nor is Zoom accessible on landline telephones)

I recently contacted HLAA requesting 'normal' internet recordings but no response so far. A recent Slate article/comments re why older people really eschew technology provides important revealing responses.

For many of us who do not have family or nearby "tech gurus" to provide ongoing continued support and tutoring, smart technology is far too cumbersome, confusing, complicated, not in the least personally "intuitive" ("intuitive" is what techies familiar with the technology blithely and arrogantly assume is obvious to any one, including all novices/newcomers)

For us there are major hassles navigating too many choices even before acquiring, we are leery of such invasive technology (cameras and microphones in home intrude on personal privacy/activities/conversations, etc), etc.
