Computer Club President Helps Residents Stay on the Cutting Edge Club Covers PCs, Macs, and Evolving Technology By Pete Wisniewski “[Technology] is going to happen whether we want it or not. The key question for individuals is whether or not they want to embrace it,” said Sid Paskowitz, president of the Willow Valley Computer Club. Having been exposed to cutting-edge technology from the beginning of his professional life, Paskowitz is an ideal candidate to serve as president of the computer club at Willow Valley Communities. “I recognized the potential benefit of computers in my early years in submarines,” he said. “My generation was significantly impacted by the fallout from Sputnik and the need to stay ahead in the technology race.” Though he never worked for a computer corporation directly, Paskowitz has a background in logistics, and as a management consultant he worked with computer and technology companies and “tried to have devices that allowed [him] to interact efficiently with those companies.” “My primary focus is on the quality of life of [our] residents,” Paskowitz said. “Toward that end, I try to communicate information that will assist residents in being productive with new technologies while protecting their security and privacy, which are potentially put at risk by those technologies. please see CLUB page 14 Sid Paskowitz works to keep technology accessible and approachable for his fellow residents, a “generation [that] was significantly impacted by the fallout from Sputnik and the need to stay ahead in the technology race.”
