Top 3 Tech Resolutions for 2016

Top 3 Tech Resolutions for 2016 - One Cool Tip - http://www.onecooltip.com
Ah, the start of a new year.  It's "out" with the old and "in" with the new.  A time to resolve to improve for the coming year.

So what are your technology resolutions for 2016?

Here are three worth considering.

Back Up - Back Up - Back Up

Resolve to back up all of your data on all of your devices.  It's heartbreaking to hear from readers about how they lost years of photos and documents because they did not have backups of their computers, tablets and phones.  Don't let that happen to you!   Start 2016 off right with a new attitude to backup your data on a regular basis.   Here are two Cool Tips for more information.   Backing Up Avoids Cracking Up and How to Back Up Gmail Contacts

Better Security

Resolve to use better, and more secure, passwords for every web site.   The days of using the same simple password on multiple web sites are over.  Make 2016 the year you upgrade your passwords to make your privacy and data more secure.   A good password should be at least 8 characters and include both upper and lower case letters as well as symbols and numbers.  And what if your devices are lost or stolen?  Check out these Cool Tips - Where's My Laptop?

Think Before You Spread Bad Info

Resolve not to share bad and incorrect info on social media or email.  If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably not true.  Mark Zuckerberg is not going to send you free money.  Ever.  That's why he's mega-rich and we're not.  See something on Facebook that seems fishy?  Before you just "share" and spread it even farther, check it out with a Google search or even better, check on Snopes to see if it is true.  More info on Snopes is here in this Cool Tip  - If You Read it On Facebook, It Must be True

Have a safe, and prosperous 2016!
