Your daily dose of practical, easy to follow tech tips!
Technology has impacted every facet of life, and the education system is not exempted.
In this modern age of growing technology and connectivity, tech gadgets have penetrated classrooms and learning institutions and have greatly enhanced the lives of students.
Technology in the classroom is commonplace these days and students from grade school level to university level make use of them.
Question from Alvin: I recently retired after working for the same construction company for 43 years.
Now I’d like to take up something new to occupy all this free time that I suddenly have to fill.
I’ve always wanted to learn about computers so I’ve started reading a few tech blogs, and RicksDailyTips is one of them (thanks to my brother Keith for recommending it).
I’m not tech savvy by any stretch (I hope to change that eventually) but I do believe I’m progressing ok for an older dude who still uses a flip phone.
There’s a term that keeps popping up in the articles I read that I just can’t seem to get my head around. Can you tell me what the word “bottleneck” means in regards to computers?

Question from Brenda F.: I think it’s wonderful that take the time to provide all this great information and help people with their problems.
I’ve noticed that you never ask anyone for money or request any type of payment for the things you do.
I believe you really should because your time is valuable and you deserve to be paid for using it to help all of us. Why do you do all this for free?

Question from Elaine: Hi Rick. I’m hoping you can help me.
I joined your Rick’s Tech Tips group on Facebook a couple of months ago to make sure I didn’t miss any of your posts.
I just found out however that I’m not being notified every time you publish a new post (and I want to be!).
How can I fix this so I can see all of your posts?

I began writing my Rick’s Daily Tips tech blog back in 2012 with the hope of sharing what I have learned about technology over the years with my friends and anyone else who might find my tips useful.
Last night I logged into my blog to begin writing a new post and noticed the total number of posts I’ve written to date: 3,058!
That’s a lot of tips, and it has been my great pleasure and honor to share them with you.
Never in my wildest dreams did I believe this endeavor would turn out to be as successful as it has become since that time. And I owe it all to you, my friends and loyal readers.
I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read my posts and then “like” them, comment on them and share” them on social media. Your kindness means more to me than you know.
I can’t promise you that I’ll “always get it right”, but I do promise to do my very best to bring you the most accurate, the most useful and the most interesting tech tips and other info that I can.
Thanks again,
Rick
P.S. Every “Share” on social media helps more people (hopefully) benefit from the tips and info that I post on my blogs. Thanks so much for sharing them with your friends!
