[Missouri-l] Tonight's Books And Beyond

[Nancy Lynn]

Anna Dresner has written many books concerned with the subject of 
technology. On our show tonight, she will discuss social networking,  the 
subject of the book she is writing presently in which she explains twitter, 
facebook, and linked in.  How can we use Ipods and mp3 players more 
effectively? Is it possible for a visually impaired person to use something 
with a flat screen? What are her plans for the future? In the world of 
computers and technical information, an author's job is never done. Progress 
takes place so quickly that updates to previous books are often needed very 
quickly.  How does she do research? Does she have concerns about computers 
and how they affect our communication with each other? How did she become 
interested in and so dedicated to sharing technical information? What is her 
mission?
Before embarking on her  writing career, Anna worked for a rehabilitation 
center teaching Braille and computer techniques. Before moving to Kansas, 
she worked  at the Carroll Center in Massachusetts. This background 
acquainted her with needs of computer users. In addition to technical 
writing, Anna has written books on magic tricks, organizing a first 
apartment and other independent living skills unique to us.
In her spare time, she enjoys chess and knitting. The mother of an 8 year 
old boy, she and her husband live in Pittsburg, Kansas.
The show will begin airing tomorrow morning at 1 hour UTC or tonight at 8pm 
US eastern time and will replay throughout the day. Just go to 
www.ACBRadio.org. Then go to the mainstream page and choose your player and 
connection speed, and you'll be good to go. Enjoy. Sincerely,
Nancy Lynn, Producer
