In The Works/Presentation Topics Being Considered
- Scams, spyware, freeware. Spotting/detecting them and avoiding them. (idea)
- Deep Fakes and the Technology Behind it (BBC) (not-previewed)
- Blind Bombing by Norman Fine. Fine is native of Newton MA and would be receptive to giving a presentation. [Larry Freier]
“I found this book spellbinding and with insight into the development of a new and advanced secret radar system that permitted the allies to penetrate through inclement weather and enable the allies to reverse the dominance of the Nazis at the onset of WWII. Blind Bombing has a warm sensitive side, in that Norman Fine’s uncle (Stanley) brought the first production model of the new airborne radar system to Europe permitting allied bombers to destroy factories supplying the German forces that were usually obscured by overcast weather” - History relating to Rubber
- Florence Nightingale contributions to science
- Search for life on other planets (research in progress).
