9 tips for protecting your privacy, money and identity while you’re online

Posted on July 10, 2024

With all the hackers out there trying to break into secure Wi-Fi networks, steal personal and financial information and generally wreak havoc on our lives, it only makes sense to do everything possible to protect ourselves while we’re using the Internet.

But we can take steps to minimize the risks associated with being online as much as possible. Here are just a few of them:  [Read more…]

Is this the most important technological breakthrough of our lifetimes?

Posted on July 10, 2024

Computer technology has changed so much since the “stone age” of personal computing (circa mid-1970s).

Back then our mass storage options consisted of cassette tapes that were slower than ice melting and 8 inch floppy disks that held just a few kilobytes of data each.
