These days, laptops are as common in our schools as backpacks, notebooks and pencils. In fact, most colleges (and many high schools) now require that every student own one.

Unfortunately, laptops also tend to disappear when you aren’t looking. In fact, many campus police departments receive more reports about stolen laptops than any other item.

Mobile apps have become a central part of our daily lives. People rely on them to shop, communicate, manage finances, navigate, and stay entertained.
