[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Special Meeting Computer and Technology Group

[Dick]

Since I am scheduled to be the presenter at the July 14th meeting, I 
probably will not join the group until just before the presentation time 
(shouldn't I be preparing [primping?]?}.

My preference is to be together in one place, for at least a couple 
reasons. I find the psychological feeling of face=to-face interactions 
refreshing and missing with ZOOM meetings. Also, I have not yet been 
able to adapt to the technological problems of the visual and aural lag 
that occurs with such digital interactions (5G� may solve this?). I find 
myself bothered more than usual when more than one person tries to speak 
during presentations and question and answer sessions.

However, for the sake of personal convenience and for the ability of 
having members and speakers from remote locations, my vote is for a 
"hybrid" approach, if at all possible. I know that educational 
institutions from elementary to postgraduate institutions are tending in 
this direction with knowledge gained during the pandemic about using 
such a model.

Good luck!

Dick
