There is no doubt that technology is apart of our daily lives, from cellphones to social media, it has invaded every part of our lives.
For college students, they have not known a life without technology and so this has created a unique lifestyle for them as they study, work, hangout, and prepare for their future.
Here is a highlight of the infographic that discusses how technology has impacted the modern college student:
Have you upgraded your WordPress site?
83% of hacked WordPress blogs have not been upgraded, so as you can see, not upgrading your WordPress install can put your website at a much greater increase of falling victim to a hack.
It’s also important to make sure you’re backing up before you upgrade, too.
Here’s the Ultimate Guide to Upgrade WordPress:
The latest in “green” technology that has hit the automobile industry has had an unpredicted negative side effect: you cannot hear those vehicles anymore. If you are walking and texting at a crosswalk, only relying on your hearing for traffic, you are risking your life. You wouldn’t even be able to hear anything approaching from behind!
Domino’s has taken this challenge to capitalize on it with a “branding marketing idea.” Instead of having a scooter run silently, they have put speakers on it to announce that specific words both as a warning to pedestrians as well as suggestive marketing.
This is from their YouTube video (below) description:
“To improve road safety Domino’s Pizza the Netherlands introduces a human engine sound on their silent electrical scooters.”
As a web designer in the UK, the new EU Cookie Law is something I’m (sadly) having to deal with!
[Editor's Note: If it can happen in the UK, it can happen in the United States.]
I’ve been looking at a number of compliance methods and I’ve found one, that I think is the best out there.
I despise Go Daddy.
Whenever I have the chance, I advise friends, family and clients to steer clear.
There are several reasons why (SOPA/PIPA flip-flop included), but the one reason that fuels my outspoken demeanor are the breasts.
If the Super Bowl ads weren’t bad enough, every other promotional email piece and each and every Go Daddy website visit flashes your eyes with airbrushed blondes and brunettes.
It’s cheap. It’s gross. It’s demeaning to women and insulting to men.
But now there’s a new sheriff in town, and that’s all about to change!
Forget about retina displays and multi touch surfaces, how would you like to operate your smartphone by simply touch certain parts of your body, like the picture above?
Simply tap your wrist to pause or switch tracks?
Crazy, right?
Not at all!

I love Churchm.ag.
It’s part of my daily “beat check” of technology blogs. The varied content here is a lot like Lifehacker, but the stories have a decidedly Christian spin. That’s why I was happy when Eric allowed me to write for it.
A couple of weeks ago, with Eric’s permission, I posted a link to my newsletter in the weekly Saturday/Sunday share post. I was honored when he subscribed.
This week I mentioned to my subscribers that I’d be giving away my first book Podcasting Church for free on Kindle today, Wednesday, May 16, 2012 between 3:00 am eastern (midnight pacific), and Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 2:59 am eastern (11:59pm on 5/16/12).
We have talked about the theological implications of hackers and how we as Christians should respond as well as the latest in security measures to prevent the future of hacking. But there is a whole world of hackers that have not been talked about.
For some, hacking is all about money or revenge.
For others, it is boredom or power, not necessarily about the hacking itself.
But the group that we will be looking at are the hactivists: hacking to do something good by preventing evil.

In fact, did you know that:
