Making New Year Resolutions? We Can Help With Your Tech To-Do List

The start of a new year is an excellent time to cross off items on your tech to-do list. Doing so can give you a sense of accomplishment, bring an end to the guilt of procrastination, and ward off moments of panic.

Here are our top suggestions for being proactive with technology in the new year:

√ Back Up Your Computer to Protect Your Data

It’s easy to take for granted how much computers enhance our lives. Where else do we have schedules, financial information, travel itineraries, and a photo timeline of our lives all at our fingertips? All is fine and dandy until something goes wrong. Then we become aware of how risky it is to store so much important data in one place. Additionally, routine computer updates and upgrades can go awry and cause data to disappear in a flash.

Thankfully, backing up a Mac is pretty simple, and there are several options for doing so. If you are currently using an AirPort Time Capsule, it’s time to replace it as Apple is exiting the AirPort / Time Capsule business.

Similarly, there are several ways to back up a PC.

Call us if you would like help setting up a back-up system for your computer. Knowing that your data is stored in a safe place can make life better in the new year!

√ Organize and Preserve Your Photos

For many of us, our smartphone photo collections have replaced albums filled with prints. While smartphones keep photos at our fingertips, action is needed to make secure your keepsakes.

We can show you how to organize photos in digital albums and even back them up to cloud storage.

If you have hard copy photos and want to ensure their safekeeping, we recommend our friends at Pixorium. They will help you decide what to keep and show you how to preserve and share your images.

√ Help with Passwords

The recommendations on apps to organize your passwords can be overwhelming. All have pros and cons. We can help sort through what’s out there to come up with a solution tailored to your needs. We will help you understand which features of each app work best for you.

√ Cutting the Cable Cord

If you have been talking about this for a while, let 2020 be the year you actually do it. We can offer options to traditional cable services and explain the differences. We tailor our solution to your preferences, interests and home entertainment setup. We will assess your WiFi network to make sure it’s robust enough for streaming services, and even purchase and set up the equipment you need.
