A Quick Reco For Parents (and a bonus)
If you are a parent, or teacher, you may want to know about a “video tutorial” resource. This is not something you ask your kids to watch – it’s for you.
“The new videos focus on social media and provide teachers and parents with a better understanding of what to look for and how to protect children in the digital age.
They are short and concise and help adults quickly understand the dangers and how to avoid them.”
I highly recommend you take a look at the intro video, and then explore..! Check it out, here.
Also (aka “the ‘bonus’): Launch of Google’s Emergency Public Alert Service
“Today’s post is an important one that ultimately and literally could be a lifesaver. Google, in conjunction with their mapping technology, has launched a platform service called Google Public Alerts that is designed to help you find critical emergency information during a crisis.” Read more..
Today’s quote: “History shows that there is nothing so easy to enslave and nothing so hard to emancipate as ignorance, hence it becomes the double enemy of civilization. By its servility it is the prey of tyranny, and by its credulity it is the foe of enlightenment.” ~ Lemuel K. Washburn

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

Very cool thing Google is doing with the alert system. Every once in a while they find their way back into my graces. Thanks for the heads up!

kstinman,
I must confess, I might have missed this entirely had I not become a habitual reader of Rick Robinette’s What’s On My PC....
The credit is all his on this one.
