10-10-2022 Tech for Seniors - Episode 132

Our attendance today was a bit lighter than usual. Probably because it's a holiday today
both in the US and in Canada. Columbus Day here and Thanksgiving Day in Canada.
Those that attended learned about all the security news that occurred since the last show,
they got to see what the new Gmail interface will look like, saw the final episode on Solar Energy,
learned how to use Google Photos to edit their videos, learned how to search for traffic Cams, and
saw a tribute to Loretta Lynn in our music tribute. The show ended with a Q&A session where we
answered many questions on the topics covered.
