Tablets, Laptops, Computers and What the heck is a Cloud?

When you walk into a Best Buy or a Fry's Super Store the choices can be daunting when figuring out what you need to survive in the digital world we live in.

First, you need to address your needs and determine what you really need compared to what everyone is telling you need.   If you already have a laptop for work you can check that off your list.  If you have an outdated computer at home not to worry.   If your job allows you to bring your notebook home and doesn't have any strict policies on using it for personal use - use it.    The trick is don't save any files on the hard drive and clean up after yourself by clearing your browser cache before booting down*.

When I say don't save files on the hard drive there are a couple ways to  do this.

The 1st way is to hook up a 2nd USB hard drive to save all of your files so when you are done, just unplug the drive and viola.

The 2nd is to use a cloud system like Google Docs of Drop Box to store your files.   Google is Free and Drop Box is very inexpensive but very secure.

Both of these Cloud Storage services will allow you to store files online so anywhere you go you can access your personal files.  I mean anywhere from any computer.  Pretty Cool Aye.
