Community and education groups showcased their technology projects from Podcasting to Facebook, Skype to Youtube. Michael O’ Regan from St. Munchin’s Community Development Project was one of a group of keen ‘silver surfers’- all over 65’s and from all over the city - who were demonstrating how to “google”, “email”, “skype” and “you-tube” with the best of them. . Michael explained why he got involved in this event: “if people only got a chance to see what computers can do and they get started they would find them really useful”. Michael explained his particular interest was podcasting “Podcast is a word you will hear a lot if you listen to the radio” explained Michael “simply put it is a version of a radio show that is put up on the internet, and you can listen to old Gerry Ryan and Ray Darcy shows if you missed them.”
