SUMMARY:"Wired Wisdom: How to Age Better Online” with author John Palfrey
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chicago Area Villages Collaborative for a moderated discussion with John Palfrey\, co-author of Wired Wisdom: How to Age Better Online. \nClick here to join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89312935887?pwd=eBsn4swhymbmgg9TnUluiremg0lw1i.1 \nMeeting ID: 893 1293 5887\nPasscode: CAV \nOne tap mobile\n+13126266799\,\,89312935887#\,\,\,\,*116875# US (Chicago) \n  \nEvent Info: \nWired Wisdom is an eye-opening book on the internet’s fastest-growing demographic\, researchers Eszter Hargittai and John Palfrey offer a more nuanced picture—debunking common myths about older adults’ internet use to offer hope and a necessary call to action. Incorporating original interviews and survey results from thousands of people sixty and over\, Wired Wisdom shows that many\, in fact\, use technology in ways that put younger peers to shame. Over-sixties are often nimble online and quicker to abandon social media platforms that don’t meet their needs. Despite being targeted more often\, they also may be less likely to fall for scams than younger peers. And fake news actually fools fewer people over sixty\, who have far more experience evaluating sources and detecting propaganda. Still\, there are unseen risks and missed opportunities for this group. Hargittai and Palfrey offer practical advice and show that our stereotypes can be hurdles that keep us from building intergenerational support communities\, helping loved ones adopt new technology that may improve their lives\, and thriving together online. \nReceive 30% off your book purchase from University of Chicago Press with code: UCPNEW \nJohn Palfrey is president of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. He is the author or coauthor of several books\, including Born Digital: How Children Grow Up in a Digital Age and The Connected Parent: An Expert Guide to Parenting in a Digital World.

SUMMARY:Curious Village
DESCRIPTION:If you would like to register for this event\, please call 773.248.8700. Thank you. \nJoin this  in-person group for a lively discussion and presentation each month  Hosted by Belmont Village on Fullerton in Lincoln Park\, all are welcome! \nJoin us this month for a presentation on The Kennedy Assassination Revisited with Village member Torry Duffy. \nIn March 2025\, over 77\,000 pages of previously classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy were released\, providing new insights into the CIA’s activities during that time. However\, these documents did not significantly alter the established conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination. \nHere is a link to a story about the release of the files\, which includes a photo you might use and more details. \nhttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/03/18/jfk-assassination-files-released-trump/82517699007/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
