Memories Are Made With These

The sun is out, the birds are singing, and you’re packing up the family car. Memories are made of this, as they say. But how will you remember the memories? Like most of us, you’ll take photos, record video, and if you’re on the “cutting edge,” as so many are today, you might even upload your photos and videos to a blog or your Facebook page, the better to share those memories with the rest of the world.

Do Try This at Home

If once the web was a way for people to communicate, nowadays it’s more about relaxing and wasting time. Once there were comic books and TV sets; now there are iPads and Youtube. They invented those things for a reason!
But there’s more to the internet than online games and a “boss button” to hide your perfidy when your supervisor appears; you can actually learn to do stuff on-line. What can you learn? Almost anything there is to know! There are dozens of sites out there that will tell you (in …
