April 2014 User Group Meeting

Wednesday April 16, 2014 6:00 – 8:00 PM At Maui College (Laulima Bldg. Rm. 211)
Topic: The new age of Digital TV and Movies

How we watch TV and Movies is changing. We no longer need to sit in front of a TV for a scheduled show. We can watch online with our computer, iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV. There are other devices such as a Roku or the Google Chromecast. It is TV and movies on our time. There are digital services such as iTunes, Netflix and Hulu that can provide us our TV content as well. Join us this month as we explain how this digital technology is changing the traditional TV model. As always, we will save time for your Mac and iOS questions.
