What to do with old devices

Do you have old phones, Tablets, or computer just collecting dust?  If you do there are many options.  You can recycle them at a local store.  You can bring them to Goodwill.  There are many more options.  Still there is a better way.

If you have a computer that turns on and boots up fine donate it to a company that will rebuild it and then distribute it to those who cannot afford them.  These companies will make sure that your data is securely erased and then rebuild it so that it can be distributed appropriately.

Phones you can donate to places that will give to abused woman, or low income households.  This allows people to have a phone and get the needed help.

Tablets can be a little trickier, but you  can donate them to Goodwill or find a store that has electronic recycling.  Many municipalities will have electronic recycling weekends.  You can bring your devices then and they will get recycled

This is a great idea and a way to declutter your home.  This is what I did with an old laptop and the student was very excited.  Now they are able to do there schoolwork.

Technology and Jobs

More people are becoming increasingly concerned about jobs.  As technology advances at the sonic speeds more entry-level jobs are going to be replaced.  This is a fact.  We can't slow it down if we want to see cheaper goods and services.  Companies also need to stay competitive.  Look at the recent deal between Microsoft and Walmart as both behemoths battle Amazon Another factor with this is growing wages.  As more states implement higher minimum wage laws companies are seeing more ROI on Kiosks and self-checkout registers.  Amazon has introduced a convenience store model that doesn't have cash registers at all.  You just download an app and you can go through the store and items get added or removed based on what you pick up. and put down.  More and more jobs are going to be automated.  Tesla is working on self driving tractor trailer trucks.   Amazing technology, but humans need to adapt.  Even in IT we...

New Focus!!

Posts were very few over the last two years. While quite a bit has happened it was hard to focus on much other than my full time job. I really have started to focus on security and helping you secure your home networks is what we are going to focus on in the coming months. There is a lot to talk about and tools you can use to ensure your data is safe. Items such as using a password manager and enabling Multi-Factor Authentication for your logins can ensure that your data is safe. Nothing is perfect, but taking steps can minimize your risk of having your information stolen. Not only will discuss these topics, but we will show you how to do some of them. Let me know some home network security topics you're interested in and we will add them to the list.
