Virtual offices, what are they? They function similar to a traditional office, only your staff is offsite which means, you don’t get to see your staff daily. It was said that virtual offices became popular with the advent of technology and information age, also called as, the internet age. This is the time when communicating globally is not only possible but also made very easy. With thousands of tools available [...]

Viruses are nasty! It can infect your computer and do awful lot of damage causing it to crash. Because of its very destructive nature, viruses are often associated with other malicious programs which are equally, if not more harmful than a virus. But how would you know if your computer is infected by one or the other? Also, are there ways to somehow prevent an attack? First, I would like [...]

What I like about Twitter is its flexibility to adapt nicely to your lifestyle, or at the very least, how you would like to use it. Using the right Twitter tools—and let me warn you, there are about hundreds of them out there—seniors can surely benefit tremendously from it. Be it just a way to connect with people who matter most in your life or give your business an advertising [...]

If you want to stay connected with people who matter most in your life, you need to keep up with the times. It may feel awkward at first threading unfamiliar territories, but believe me, once you get used to it, it’s hard not to get hooked on it! I remember the first time I experimented with social networking sites, it was with MySpace. My second was Facebook which I find [...]

These things are done now and although there were horror stories associated with it, successful ones outweighs them a ton. Every year, billion of dollars were spent online such that banks the world over have now set up their own banking system online, enabling their members to access their bank accounts online and seek help from there when needed. Indeed, technology has provided an extremely convenient way for most of [...]

What I really love about computers and the internet is that it makes life so much easier for everybody. I virtually live inside of it, every single day. It’s where I conduct my work, reconnect with my family and friends, shop for my stuff and yes, window shop without having to contend with someone else’s watchful eyes, pay my bills and meet new friends along the way AND take note, [...]

I would like to put emphasis on the word “elderly” since I don’t think seniors would have any use for basic computer tips. Nonetheless, I have been receiving several requests from elderly groups trying to get me to teach them basic computer usage and how to deal with “first time” confusion and whatnot hence this post. Fortunate are those who have patient grandkids to teach them how. Some of the [...]

Now that you finally gave in to your peer’s constant harassing, you find yourself staring helplessly to your supposedly profile page, not knowing what to do. Honestly, as much as Facebook is fun, it is equally complicated. On average, a person with no Facebook experience whatsoever in the past will spend at least half of the day before he can be left to his own devices. Of course, if you [...]

It seems like everybody has been tweeting and it’s not about birds! One short trip to your favorite hairdresser and you’ll surely encounter the words “tweet”, “tweeting” and “twitter”; worse, you’ll have someone asking you of your Twitter ID! If you are not familiar with this free social networking/micro-blogging service that has been taking the world by storm, then it’s easy to get yourself embarrassed by the situation at hand [...]

If seniors are having a hard time maneuvering their way around the internet, it is not entirely their fault. Eyes maybe failing, cognitive functions could be a little bit impaired but most definitely, these are not the only reasons why seniors commit one too many mistakes when using the internet. It can also be blamed to the usability a website may possess. It was said that the senior group is [...]
