Storing Your Life: Digital Storage and Consumer Electronics - Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society
“Our memories define our past and enable the accumulation of capability that drives our technological civilization.”
If you use a digital camera, store your contacts in a cellular telephone, or keep important documents on a PC, you’re among the millions who rely on digital storage mechanisms every day. Come hear Dr. Coughlin, an industry expert and IEEE distinguished lecturer, talk about storage in an era of digital video, content sharing via home networks and the Internet, and remote backups in ‘the cloud.’
Dr. Coughlin comes to us from Couglin Associates in Atascadero, CA. He has a B.S. in Physics and an M.S.E.E. from the University of Minnesota, and a Ph.D. from Shinshu University in Nagano, Japan.
Supper will be served before the presentation, and will be free to IEEE members, or $15 for non-members. When registering, please indicate whether you plan to attend the meal.
Supper will begin at 6:15PM, and the presentation will start at 7:00PM.
