Smart Technology Tips
Do
you need to access information on your home computer when you’re not at
home? You could carry your laptop with
you everywhere, but here are two other convenient ways to access your files on
the go:
v Get a smart
phone or tablet, such as an iPad. These devices are for more than just fun and games. You’ll
love the immediate access to email,
address books, photos, calendars and the Internet, not to mention thousands of
apps (web applications). Depending on
your budget, consider buying a refurbished version of one of these devices, and
then upgrade to a new model after you learn the ropes.
v Back up your
data. An online backup service protects you if your
laptop
gets stolen or lost. Install the software
and your data will be backed up to the “cloud” (basically the Internet). Easily restore everything from music to spreadsheets
for a flat annual fee. For a free backup service that makes it easy to share
photos and documents with friends and family, try www.dropbox.com. You can
also download dropbox to a mobile device.
Or, check out www.carbonite.com.
