Meeting
the Challenge
 My
previous television work included regular computer and technology segments
on "Meeting the Challenge," a
half-hour weekly, magazine-style television show that aired on the now
defunct Knowledge TV cable channel and in the Bay
Area on KICU-TV Channel 36.
In each "Meeting the Challenge" program
I offered a simple tip or bit of advice on how to better take advantage of
technology tools. My segments covered everything from how voice-recognition
software can open up the world of computers to those with physical disabilities, to
how to research buying a car on the Internet. You can find a list of those
segments and the links for them right here. (Please note that some of the
links are older and may no longer work.)
