Technology Hideaway

Being a parent is one of the most wonderful experiences out there. I know something about it first-hand as I am a very proud parent myself. I simply cannot imagine my life without the kids as they matter to me so much.

While having children usually means many responsibilities, one of the perks of having them is that you get to have some fun as well. For example, playing with your kids can be a very enjoyable time that can allow you to reflect on your life and ask yourself a few questions such as am I having fun in my life the same way my children do, etc.

I love to play with my kids. They are still very small so I can only allow them to entertain themselves with simple toys, but in a few years (or even earlier), I am going to encourage them to start playing with robots that can be found on websites such as www.restech.org.uk/shop. The toys presented there are fun to play with, stimulate the brain, and are generally of interest to me. I am positive that when my kids grow a little, the same toys are going to be of interest to them as well. I used to play with complicated but fun toys when I was a child, so I don’t see any reason my kids wouldn’t want to have fun with similar ones when they are slightly older than they are right now.

Every small business needs a backup system in place simply because a reliable and thought-over backup solution is absolutely imperative for data security as well as integrity.

I used to work in a large company in the past that heavily relied on information technology. There were several computers in each room in the building where I used to work, and the IT solutions that the company owners had chosen to implement were truly impressive. I tried not to think what would have happened if their backup system had gone haywire one day. It would have been a complete disaster. The whole company would stop existing in a matter of minutes. Fortunately, they had a good system in place to prevent that from happening.

The company I used to work for in the past had very advanced IT solutions, but did you know that 34% of companies fail to test their tape backups? What is more, those who do conduct regular check-ups end up discovering tape backup failures. This is probably why contacting IT Support Essex is so crucial for all those who happen to live in Essex and those who encounter technical problems with their information systems.

Why are tape backups so important? The answer to this question is fairly simple. Tape backup drives are arguably the best solution for those businesses that need to store a large amount of data. Usually, the companies choosing to opt for tape backup drivers need to hire a professional to put the whole system in place.

I have been into gadgets and technology for as long as I can remember. After all, not that many things can compare to reading and writing about the latest inventions while sipping a refreshing drink in the middle of the evening.

One of the latest technology wonders I have been thrilled about recently is something known as the dazzler. Well, the idea of blinding enemies instead of just killing them certainly isn’t new. It is reported that weapons similar to laser blinding weapons were used even back during WWII. There are several other reports that state that the US military have been using blinding weapons during a few other military operations during the last 30 years.

One of the questions technology enthusiasts might want to ask themselves is whether the dazzler is legal or not. It is true that weapons causing permanent damage were officially banned by the United Nations back in 1995, but who said that you don’t have a right to defend yourself with the help of laser-based weapons that will only dazzle your attackers instead of if killing them? Usually, a laser blinding weapon causes some inconvenience to those on whom it was used such as vomiting or temporary dizziness, but as long as you check your local laws regarding the blinding weapons you should be fine. If you are into such gadgets, you might either want to buy one, or construct one yourself, depending on your budget and on your needs.

From time to time I come across information about places and realities I know little about. One of those things is definitely something known as the Deep Web. in the ever-changing world of the Internet, you are very likely to stumble upon something like this once in a while.

I remember hearing about the Deep Web for the first time several months ago. Imagine my surprise when I read about it again this morning. Coming across the topic made me realize that there are still so many things out there that I would like to discover and make myself familiar with.

Before I tell you more about the topic, I want you to know that the Deep Web is not for the faint of heart. You will find there the strangest of information you had no idea about. It is definitely a bizarre place to be, but the experience can be absolutely mind blowing.

How did the Deep Web emerge? To explain the concept of the hidden surface of the World Wide Web, I cannot avoid mentioning something known as Tor. In a nutshell, Tor is a system that was first invented by the US Navy. Its sole aim was to protect government communications from leaks. The system makes it hard to trace someone’s online activity. It all happens by encrypting data and sending it through random routes. Because of it, Tor has found many uses among the general public.

What are some of the most popular uses of Tor? Thanks to Tor, people living in countries without freedom of speech can have unlimited access to the Internet without being censored or prosecuted for their beliefs. Due to its unique nature, Tor attracts people from all walks of life, both legitimate as well as not so legitimate such as assassins, hackers, inventors, scientists, political activists, government officials, police, navy officials and more.
