[DVOC] DVOC program: Jeff Gordon on Birding Technology

[Frank Windfelder]

There is a DVOC meeting this Thursday night. Looks
like another great program.

Main Speaker: iBird: Digital Technology vs. Natural
History -- Many people think that one of the most
valuable things about birdwatching is that it offers a
chance to "unwire," to escape from things man-made
into a more natural, authentic state. How does this
notion fare in the days of ipods, laptops, and camera
phones? What are the challenges and opportunities we
all face as unprecedented power to collect and share
information combines with increasing usage demands on
decreasing natural areas?

While Jeff doesn't pretend to have all the answers to
these questions, he does have a good deal of
experience with birds, birders, and digital doodads.
Join him for a conversation about the state of our
art.
