Featured Class: 5G Technology

Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far. (Happy Mother's day to those celebrating tomorrow!)
 

Have you heard about 5G? The fifth generation of wireless technology is quickly expanding around the world and growing the global “Internet of Things” of connected devices.

Senior Planet in the North Country will be hosting an in-person class all about 5G Technology on Monday, May 15 at 12:00pm EDT at our center in Plattsburgh

This lecture will explain what 5G is, how it works, and compare it to the previous generation known as 4G. We will also cover some of the most exciting applications of 5G and the impact it will have on our daily lives from self-driving cars to smart cities, virtual reality, holograms, and more!

If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected], or call the toll-free Senior Planet hotline at 888-713-3495.

See you at the center!

Take a Virtual Tour of Singapore

Discover Live returns this week to take you on a live, interactive walking tour of Singapore!

Join our guide on Friday, May 19 at 7:00pm EDT on this virtual 1-hour outdoor walking tour to learn about the story of Singapore, from its founding in 1819 as trading outpost and a British colony to the cosmopolitan global city it is today. This one-hour tour will cover the historically-rich Civic District in downtown Singapore. You will have a chance to marvel at an eclectic mix of colonial-era, modern and futuristic landmarks that make up the Singapore skyline.

The tour is not just a sightseeing tour but a live, engaging walking tour with a double touch of humor, including stories of the multicultural, multi-religious society and the lives that Singaporeans live. The narrative comes alive through interesting personal accounts and experiences, with endless opportunities to interact with our guide. 

Registration is required for this event.
