TECHNOLOGY + POLITICS + TEXTING= HELP FOR THE GULF COAST

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 09:42:45 -0500

For once there is some bi-partisan agreement on an issue. :-)

Both Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama have used their campaign resources to get their supporters to help that Gulf Coast region in need.

Both have used text messaging to get the word out.

Technology is changing the world politics too.

Good to see that in times of crisis there is no time for politics.

The major providers of cell phone service seem to have learned from Hurricane Katrina, and are prepared this time to keep the flow of information going throughout the storm.

RATINGS GAME

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 07:57:29 -0500

If you or someone you know is about to create their own web site for personal or business purposes it must be set up to go live on the web.

If you don't buy your own servers to do this you have to go through a web hosting company.

I ran across a site that rates web hosting companies.

Thought the site would be helpful and informative.

TECH TERM - 3G

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 08:47:14 -0500

Someone asked me, "What in the world does 3G mean?

They told me, "You're TechnicalJones, What's the deal?" :-)

Ok, here's the deal! Hope it makes your day! :-)

Definition: 3G refers to the third generation of developments in wireless technology, especially mobile communications.

The third generation, as its name suggests, follows the first generation (1G) and second generation (2G) in wireless communications.

3G includes capabilities and features such as:

1. Enhanced multimedia (voice, data, video, and remote control);

2. Usability on all popular modes (cellular telephone, e-mail, paging, fax, videoconferencing, and Web browsing).

3. Broad bandwidth and high speed (upwards of 2 Mbps).

4. Roaming capability throughout Europe, Japan, and North America.

While 3G is generally considered applicable mainly to mobile wireless, it is also relevant to fixed wireless and portable wireless.

3G offers the potential to keep people connected at all times and in all places.

SHRINKING PC

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 08:56:39 -0500

Smaller . . . smaller . . . smaller!

I guess the next PC that you will purchase may just be smaller and faster than the big bulky one you have at home or at your office right now.

I guess the key to all of this new modern technology is to make it faster and smaller.

Let's hope that they don't forget to make it easier to use also.

I know you enjoy your digital products (i.e. Cameras, DVRs, etc.), and all of the fun you have using them.

On the other end, how do you store and keep up with all of this information that you have created.

The problem of storing and safely maintaining your digital information is another technological issue that people are dealing with everyday.

With the amount of information we are all creating it will continue to be an issue of concern for all of us both now and in the future.
