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.

Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for TechTerm_Image 2008.pngHave you ever wondered what does HTTP:// means?

Definition:  Short for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web.

HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands.

For example, when you enter a URL in your browser, this actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing it to fetch and transmit the requested Web page.

The debate over the effectiveness of laptops in school classrooms continues everyday.

In the State of Maine, the realization of such a plan is being put to the test.  Presently, the state is providing all middle school students with laptops.

The use of this technology as an educational tool will be a continuing area of interest for all of us.

One thing is for sure, how our kids and how we learn will never be the same.

Postcard_August 2008.gif

Traditionally, August is the vacation month.  With the use of technology we can communicate by email and text almost instantly.

 

It almost makes you wonder . . . why even go on vacation?

 

In the U.K., it seems that technology may have helped inspire people to communicate the "old school" way.  The postcard is the new hot item to send.  Simple and very direct.

 

In a world that has become increasing isolated and cold.

It is good to know that not everyone has lost that personal touch.

 

Happy and Safe Travels.

 

I will be looking for my postcard from you in the mail!  :-)

Binky_July 2008.jpgAre you dependent on your smartphone?

Some would say that the owners of smartphones are completely tied to them.

Has your smartphone replaced your long lost "binky"?

HiTech-Security_July 2008.jpgWith all of our new technology, how we secure our personal and private information has become very important. 

This means we all have to create passwords to protect our personal and private information.

For most people this mandatory creation of passwords has become job in itself.  At this point there seems to be no new technology to solve this problem

So for now you have to continue to create and remember your passwords. 

Good luck!!!  :-)

So do you remember all of your passwords?
