25.How do I manage my digital reputation?

 

As you start to create and upload content online, take a moment to think about what you’re sharing and its impact on others. What you post and the content you upload will represent your online self. This is also known as your digital reputation. Don’t forget the invisible audience – those who might be able to see your content or reshare it without your knowledge. Rule of thumb: if you don’t want your grandmother to see it, don’t post it.

24.How do I upload and share a video on YouTube?

 

Creating content and broadcasting it to the world is becoming an important part of being an active digital citizen. Uploading your video on YouTube is simple and easy. To start, you will need to create a Google account. Once you’ve created an account, follow these simple steps to uploading your first video.

 

23.How do YouTube, Blogger, and other web publishing services work?

 

Websites like YouTube and Blogger allow anyone, anywhere to instantly connect with billions of people around the world. Through a variety of online platforms – social networks, video sites, blogging tools, auction services, and many others – Internet users are able to create content, publish information, communicate and buy or sell goods and services.

 

22.What is Google+ and how do I use it?

 

Google+ helps connect you to who and what you care about. It was built with real life sharing in mind – and that means you’re in control. Google+ also helps Google work better for you – making the services you already love faster, more relevant, and more reliable. To get the most out of Google+, check out more information on the features available to you, including Circles and Hangouts.

 


21.What’s a social network and how do I manage what I let people find about me?

 

A social network is a website or app allowing you to connect with friends and family, and share stories, news, photos or video. Examples of different social networks include Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn. These websites are some of the biggest on the Internet. There are more than one billion people on Facebook, YouTube gets four billion views every day, and Twitter has more than 500 million users. Most social networking sites allow you to adjust your settings – helping you manage what information you share, how you share it, and who you share it with.

 

20.How do I transfer files between computers?

 

If you have a big file or even a few small files, you can easily transfer them from computer to computer by using a USB flash drive. A USB flash drive is basically a small storage device that you can drop in your files. When you plug the device into another computer, you can then drag and drop that file over

 

19.How do I make calls from my computer?

There are many web services that allow you to use your computer to call someone’s phone. Many of these services require you to install a piece of software or a plug-in, but then all you need is Internet connection, a microphone, and speakers and you’re ready to make calls.

18.How do I chat online?

 

Chatting online, by video or by text, is a quick way to connect with friends and family who are near and far. Many web services offer online chat features, including Google. On Google, all you need to do to chat is sign in, invite your friends, and start a chat.
 

17.What is email?

 

Email stands for electronic mail. Sending an email is like posting an electronic version of a letter. When you send your email, it usually arrives at its destination in seconds. Just like a house address, everyone has a unique email address. You have to create an email account so that you can send and receive mail.
If you already have an email address and want to create a new one, it is quick and easy.

 

16.What is open source?


 


To understand what “open source” is, it’s important to first know what “source code” is. Source code is the language in which software is written. It’s the language used in web browsers and applications telling the software how to operate and behave.

“Open source” means the source code is open and available for anyone to look at. You can experiment with, tweak or add, and reuse it for other products or services. The web browsers Chrome and Firefox are examples of open source software.

 


15.What are web applications, and how do they work?

 

If you play online games, use an online photo editor, or frequent web-based services like Google Maps, Twitter, Amazon, YouTube or Facebook, then you’re an active resident in the wonderful world of web apps.
Web applications, also known as “apps” are programs that live on your browser or on your mobile device. They connect you to Internet services enabling you to do simple tasks, like bookmark websites and check emails. They also can do more complex tasks like share photos, navigate cities or listen to music. Your standard car navigation system is a good example of an app. Within this app, you can get real-time information based on your location. You can pan and zoom around the map, get driving directions, find alternate routes and search for specific destinations.
In addition to accessibility, web apps are actually safer. Since they run in your browser, you never have to download them to your computer, protecting you from viruses, malware and spyware. You now have much more access, and much safer access than ever before.

14.Connecting and sharing

 

What is cloud computing?

Simply put, every time you use the Internet, you are cloud computing. What this means is, all the information you seek is stored on servers in various locations around the world. Whether you’re watching a video, reading the news or listening to music, you’re getting information from the cloud, not from your computer’s hard drive.
In recent years, cloud computing offered even more benefits. Now we can upload our own personal files (photos, videos, documents, music, etc.) to cloud servers and access them from any computer, protecting us from losing these files to viruses, crashed hard drives, or our own human error.

 

13.How do I make bookmarks?

 

Most browsers allow you to save shortcuts to your favorite websites. By bookmarking your most frequented websites, you can quickly navigate to the page without typing in a URL.
You can also store your bookmarks in your Google Account. You can access these bookmarks from any computer with an Internet connection from the Toolbar or the Google Bookmarks homepage.

 

12.How do I translate text?

Learning a new language or understanding signposts in a foreign country has never been so easy. With online translation tools, you can quickly translate everything from small snippets to entire websites and book chapters.
Google Translate is one of these free translation tools. To get the most out of Google Translate, we recommend perusing this guide.

11.How do I get driving directions?

11.How do I get driving directions?

Looking for the nearest gas station on your road trip? Trying to get to grandmother’s house? Getting driving, walking or transit directions is simple. On Google Maps for desktop and your mobile device, you just need to enter in your current location and the address of your destination.

 

10.How do I get public transportation directions?

 

If you need to hop on the bus or find the nearest subway, certain online maps like Google Maps can help you get from where you are to where you need to be. On Google Maps, type in your origin address and your destination address. Select the public transportation option – the icon of the bus – to get available public transportation directions.

 


9.Finding information online

 

What is search and how does it work?

Search does exactly what it says. It searches. For example, if you type the word “cars” into Google’s search engine, the request is sent from your device through the Internet to us. We look for the correct search results and send them back to your device – all in a fraction of a second.
Search engines achieve these results by crawling and indexing all the information that lives online. The world’s information is doubling every two years and the challenge of connecting people with what they’re looking for isn’t getting any simpler – especially for the 16% of searches every day that are new. Engineers need to constantly work hard to improve search so businesses and customers can keep finding each other.

 


8.How do I update my browser?

 

Using the newest version of your browser means a faster and more secure browsing experience. Figuring out how to update your browser will depend on the type of browser you are using. Each browser type – like Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari to name a few – will have a different update process. The Chrome browser, for example, automatically updates whenever it detects that a new version of the browser is available. The update process happens in the background and doesn’t require any action on your part.

 

7.How do I browse the web with tabs?


If you are exploring one website on your browser and would like to look quickly at another website, all you need to do is create a tab. The tab is basically another window within the same browser. By creating a tab, you can easily jump between websites. How to create a tab will depend on what browser you use. In many browsers, you can create a tab by going to [File] and selecting [New Tab].

6.How do I make the text in my browser bigger (or smaller)?

 

Sometimes the words on your screen may be too big or too small for you to read them comfortably. To change the size of the words on your browser, press and hold the [control] or [command] button on your keyboard and tap on the plus [+] or minus [-] key. Selecting [+] will make your words bigger, and selecting [-] will make your words smaller.

5.What is a browser?

Just as you go to a library to ‘browse’ through books, you can find or explore pages on the Internet using an Internet browser. A browser is a type of software on your computer that lets you access to the Internet. The browser acts as a window displaying to you the various websites where information lives. All you have to do is type a web address into your browser and you are instantly taken to that website

4.What is a URL, an IP address and a DNS? And, why are they important

?

A URL is the web address you type into a browser to reach a website. Every website has a URL. For example, the URL www.google.com will take you to Google’s website.
Every URL also has an IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers that tells your computer where to find the information you’re looking for. An IP address is like a phone number—a really long, complex phone number. Because IP addresses were so complex and difficult to remember, URLs were created. Instead of typing in an IP address (45.732.34.353) to go to Google’s website, all you have to type is the URL, www.google.com.
Since the Internet has so many websites and IP addresses, your browser does not automatically know where every single one is located. It has to look each one up. That’s where the DNS (Domain Name System) comes in.
The DNS is essentially the “phone book” for the Web. Rather than translating “John Doe” into a phone number, the DNS instead translates a URL, www.google.com, into an IP address, taking you to the site you’re looking for.

 

3.How does the Internet get to my mobile phone? Is it different from a desktop?

 

In general, a cell phone connects to the Internet with the same wireless signal used to make a phone call. Your phone connects to a cell tower in the area, which then connects you to the Internet. Because transferring data between mobile devices and the Internet can get expensive, service providers charge for data plans.
Certain devices, like mobile devices running Android, can also connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi lets you connect your phone, tablet or laptop computer to the Internet wirelessly and without the need for a cellular signal or data plan. Generally, Internet connectivity on your mobile phone is faster through Wi-Fi networks, but you have to be in an area where Wi-Fi is available. Many cafes, retail locations, and sometimes entire cities will offer free Wi-Fi.

2.How do you connect to the Internet? What is the function of an ISP?

Before you can start exploring the web, you will need to set up a plan with an ISP. An ISP, or Internet Service Provider, is the company that allows you access to the Internet and other web services. They provide different ways to connect including dial-up, cable, fiber optics or Wi-Fi. These different connections determine the speed of your Internet access.

1.What is the web, and how can you make it work for you


 
As you explore the tips on security and safety in Good to Know, you may have some questions about what the web is and how to use popular types of online services. Please check out these answers from Googlers and learn more about getting online, finding information and navigating the web, and connecting and sharing online.

Getting online

What is the Internet?

The Internet is a worldwide network of computers all connected to each other. When you connect to the Internet you have access to the World Wide Web, which is like a library full of pages of information.

Buztronics Signal Pod Wireless Rear Turn Signal



Buy here: http://amzn.to/10YEZnM
Whenever you are on a bicycle, do not expect all the other motorists and road users to be able to see you and have a telepathic link with where you are heading. In fact, it is always better to err on the side of caution, and that includes wearing the right kind of clothes, making sure that your lights and reflector strips are in good working order, the whole works. Well, when you need to make a turn on a busy road, most cyclists would just extend their hand and wave after making sure that there are no motorcycles that are about to overtake them (and in the process, avoid a nasty collision), but here is a gadget that not only ensures you have greater control over your bicycle as you signal your intent to turn, but it is also a whole lot more noticeable – especially when you are cycling in pitch dark conditions. This is a wireless indication system which would enable the cyclist to focus on the road fully, as well as the environment around them as they turn and signal. The POD will be able to transmit the signal from the control unit all the way to the rear of the cycle, as long as the batteries last, of course. It is a snap to set up, while the extra-bright LED display ensures that everyone sober should be able to see you indicate left and right clearly. Not only that, you also have another hazard light option at your disposal.

Compose by Ouyang Xi – Your Music Writes Itself



I hate to admit that I took 2 years of guitar lessons and I can only play the first few cords of Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water. I guess I’m one of those people who simply isn’t musically inclined. I used to write some poetry that I would have loved to turn into songs, but I couldn’t read or write music either. So I guess it’s safe to say I’m not destined to be a rock star.

All hope is not lost! Check out Compose by Ouyang Xi, a concept device designed to allow the musically challenged to actually get their melodies on paper. The pen on this digital clipboard acts as a microphone, allowing you to whistle or play a tune into it, and then when docked into the digital tablet, the harmonies will automatically be transcribed into a score. The Compose would also allow you to write directly on the display in order to “record” your tunes, before the thoughts of them are lost forever.

The designer, Ouyang Xi, would also like to see this concept contain libraries that would include sounds for an entire orchestra so that your final masterpiece can play in all it’s splendor, for everyone to enjoy. Of course it’s only a concept for now, but it gives hope to so many of us that have been walking around with the next hit recording buzzing around in our heads.

That’s all I know for now, it certainly is a concept I’d like to see go to production someday, I knew I had rock star potential, I just need a little help. Check out yankodesigns.com for updates or more information.

EmoPulse bracelet smartphone wants to go beyond smartwatches


 


From Google Glass to the Pebble smartwatch, wearable tech is where it's at. The curved-screen EmoPulse Smile is a smartphone, smartwatch, and digital companion wrapped into one chunky wrist bracelet. It will be interesting to see if it can successfully get off the ground thanks to an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign.
There's no Android versus iOS battle here. The Smile actually runs on Linux. That may put it at a disadvantage as far as app stores go, but it does give EmoPulse leeway to develop a custom system to try to carry out some ambitious features. The company is working on creating a device that learns what movies you like, monitors your sleep, and interacts with you with a personality meant to out-Siri Siri.
EmoPulse says it has a working prototype of the Smile. The Indiegogo project page is full of earnest descriptions of what the bracelet/phone/smartwatch will be able to do, including speech recognition, digital assistant functions, desktop-quality gaming, and emotional sensors that pick up on your moods. I'll be impressed if it can do a good job of pulling off half of what it wants to. Though the Smile is designed to work as a standalone smartphone, it can also be harnessed as a smartwatch with a connection to your existing smartphone if you would rather use it like that.
Early-bird pledge prices for the 128GB version are $300, with $380 being the standard amount. EmoPulse is aiming for a $300,000 goal, but the flexible funding campaign means whatever it raises will go toward the project. The finalized models are scheduled to go into production by the end of the year.
The Smile won't appeal to everybody. It's definitely on the large size. It's not exactly going to hide under your sleeve very easily. The word "ambitious" keeps coming to mind as I browse the features. I can't wait to see if EmoPulse is up to the challenge it has set for itself.

Screw passwords! Soon you might log in with electronic tattoos, or pills


There’s lots going on nowadays with various ways to remember your password. We reported yesterday on Amazon’s foray into the world of login plugins, giving other websites and apps the ability to let their users to log in with their Amazon accounts.
But that type of logging in seems like child’s play after the recent announcement from Motorola’s leader of special projects, Regina Dugan. Formerly the head of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a division of the United States Department of Defense, she boasted that at her previous gig, she “got to do a lot of epic shit.”
According to AllThingsD, she wants to talk about bringing that to the masses, in the form of wearable computers. But she’s not talking about gadgets like Google Glass. She’s thinking more along the lines of electronic tattoos and pills.
Here’s how it works: The tattoo would be embedded on a person and could be used to authenticate a user on a computer or phone. Motorola is partnering with a company called M10, which is responsible for the technology.
Not a fan of body art? How about swallowing a pill? The other innovation unveiled is a pill that a user can swallow, which then switches on, powered by the person’s stomach acid. The pill then transmits an 18-bit signal, essentially making the person a walking password.
Don’t expect to see any of this entering mass production any time soon. It’s all in the very early stages. And Dugan assures that these would be optional methods of logging in; they won’t make these required methods of logging in.
