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:
Because you are reading this article, we are assuming you use and understand the Internet to some degree. Our target audience is people who want to get the most out of their digital life, including social media, blogging, emails, mobile tech, and every other form of digital technology that we regularly use in our daily live.
For those that do use computers or mobile devices, we have a digital life. They define that as anything from social media profiles to simply the files you have saved on your computer or email.
In fact, did you know that:
Here’s more stats from our digital lives:
I still remember the sound of a modem dialing-up to go online.
Remember missing phone calls because you were online? Or how about not being able to contact someone because their phone was busy all night!
Yup.
Those were the days, but can you guess what year the modem was born?
I think you’ll be surprised!
One of Apple’s big selling points is not needing to worry about catching one of those nasty computer viruses floating around the interwebs. However, as Apple gets bigger and bigger, this becomes less and less the case. In fact, hackers see Apple users as soft targets, since they rarely have any kind of protection.
Did you know that 1 in 5 Macs contain Windows malware and 1 in 36 Macs contain Mac malware?
Yeah. Neither did I.
Here’s what I did, and you can, too!
What would Google look like if it were around in the 1980′s? It would look like a BBS (short for Bulletin-Board System for those of you who can’t remember back that far!)
An Austrian web design firm has managed to recreate (or rather, create) just that. Operating on HTML, this isn’t a true BBS. But it does simulate what Google would look like if it were on a BBS – and it works!
The web designer has integrated the simulation into the Google API so that interaction with the simulation provides actual Google results. And as an added bonus, it comes complete with old-school modem sounds!
I have been a paid SugarSync user for over a year now. Actually, I just passed my one year anniversary. It’s one thing to use a free product, another to pay for a product, and a completely higher level of loyalty to renew and keep using that service. I am a SugarSync fan through and through and it has become one of my top three productivity apps I use everyday.
Simply, SugarSync has created a powerful tool that enhances my existing workflow while maintaining a simple user interface.
Here are some of my highlights.

Fairly recently I made the jump from my free Dropbox account to a paid option. Knowing that I can access my files from different machines is great, but my favorite part is knowing my files are always backed-up. Although I don’t use it for long-term backup storage, it’s the perfect “current projects” solution.
As I first begun, I was a little bummed I had to move my folders to my Dropbox folder. What if I wanted to keep them in their current local setup, but sync them? Or how about individual folders?
The default Dropbox setup only syncs folders inside of your Dropbox folder, but I’ve found a solution for syncing local folders outside of the default Dropbox folder.
These are so cool!
From 1977 to 1984, these are the sales guides for the Apple II, Apple IIe, Apple III, Lisa and Apple Macintosh.
There not only fun from nostalgia sake, but even from a design stand point. Most of all, you can see some elements of Apple that are still used, today.
Just click on each image, enjoy!
