Next Technology

Parents have a tough time balancing the wonderful learning and social opportunities that modern technology offers, with their responsibility to keep their kids safe.  This is especially difficult when the teens know more about the technology than the parents.

That is why more and more parents are choosing to “trust but verify.”  There are a variety of tools available to help a parent monitor their teen’s computer use.  Experts suggest informing your kids that you can and do check on their computer use from time to time.  It is important that the child understand that the computer should be treated as a public, not private place.  That way, if improper behavior needs to be corrected, the teen won’t feel like they have been spied on.  Best of all, knowing that they are being watched helps ensure that the child behaves in an appropriate manner.  This provides valuable training for when they are old enough to be on their own, facing the temptations and dangers that the internet holds.

Perhaps the easiest way for parents to keep an eye on their tech-savvy teens is to install a hardware keylogger such as the KeyLlama 4MB USB Value.  For around $68, this device records everything that is typed on a computer’s keyboard, including username and passwords.  Super easy to use, all a parent needs to do is connect it between the keyboard and the computer to instantly start recording.

Later, the recorded data can be easily retrieved on the same computer that is being monitored or the device can be moved to a different computer.  If there are multiple computers in the house, the device can be moved around in order to do a “spot check” of the different PCs.

The KeyLlama 4MB USB Value does not interact with the computer operating system at all while it is recording.  It simply records the electrical impulses of the keys being pressed.  this allows it to remain 100% stealthy.  There is no way to know that it is connected and no software is ever installed.  Unlike keylogging software, KeyLlama devices can never be detected and disabled by anti-virus software.

Parenting has never been easy, but tools like the KeyLlama 4MB USB Value help level the playing field to allow parents to fulfill their responsibilities towards their teens.

Revolutionizing Business with GPS and Mapping Software

In the modern business world, operating internationally on a heretofore inconceivable level, finding geographical information that is easy to access, precise, and up to date has become an absolute necessity. In the past, many companies were managed from the world’s superpower economies, like the US, the UK, and Japan, while operating in distant countries, sometimes on the opposite side of the globe. There was less global competition for international companies and there were a lot of sure bets. Recently, however, the number of globally operated companies has expanded exponentially, with companies from China, India, Saudi Arabia, and other emerging nations buying business assets even in the US itself. This new competition has made the globe a volatile marketplace.

Managing companies on the other side of the planet, understanding conditions being experienced by your branches around the world, and getting a solid reading of potential future business opportunities has only gotten easier, however. With the development of three converging technological concepts, it has become possible to tailor interactive maps to the specific needs of these organizations. Three key technologies have made this possible: Global Positioning Systems (enabling the use of GPS Navigation Software), Geographic Information Systems (creating the mapping software used as the basis of so many navigational tools now), and Web Mapping (using GPS mapping software to create up to date maps for a variety of specific purposes).

Geographic information systems have actually been around for centuries. In its most literal form, it simple refers to a map that indicates the importance of certain objects and regions. They actually date back to caveman days, with map paintings on the wall, showing markets, borders, and points of interest. As the world has progressed in complexity, however, so, too, have geographic information systems, providing more elaborate details specific to the particular issues of importance at the time.

With global positioning systems, or gps, users can pinpoint precise locations across the globe. It can also be used to create maps of amazing and unprecedented accuracy, and locate objects anywhere in the world.

Some Cyber Laws pertain to the communication devices such as cellular telephones and the areas of the Internet that allow people to talk openly about any topic. It is becoming increasingly difficult for Americans to feel comfortable with expressing their opinions while in Internet chat rooms. The Government is aimed on forcing Cyber Law controls on an unwilling public in an environment that is not controllable.

Communist countries have a better foothold on governing and controlling Internet use by their population because they are Communists. Americans have various rights that are assured by Law, and when the American Government begins forcing Cyber Law controls on an unwilling public in an area such as the Internet, that spans the globe, the control factor becomes very similar to that level of control that is found in a Communist society.

Americans have a real problem with anyone who wants to control them. The freedoms we enjoy everyday have given us the right to learn from information on the Internet and earn an income from the research that is done. Monitoring the places that we go is forcing Cyber Laws controls on an unwilling Public who expects their privacy. Many people choose to access the Internet from home, and the monitoring of our Internet activities could be construed as a home invasion and a violation of our right to privacy.

The Government feels that it is losing income from the various business enterprises that are conducted through the Internet. There are no lines drawn to give tax benefits to a particular State, or to afford the Federal government the right to claim their Federal taxes on such work. By forcing Cyber Law control on an unwilling public who pays taxes on the services that they use to connect to the Internet, the Government could be considered to be guilty of double dipping if they ever get to the point where they could get paid taxes for work that is done through Internet contacts.

The law enforcement community uses the Internet to track predators and illegal activities. They are just as guilty of using the Internet for gain as the next person, but the gain they achieve is in removing predators that make the Internet their home away home and not from gaining income that the Federal government can not tax. Internet users have no problem with the efforts being done to make the Internet a safe environment for all age groups. They just do not want anyone to gain control over the way they use the Internet.

When I was growing up the most exciting toys I came across were conkers and marbles. However great these may have been they seem to have been shunted right out of the way with the wealth of gadget toys that are available these days. The range and variety of gadgets on offer is incredible. What’s even more incredible is the level of sophistication that goes into some of these toys.

The level of technology in some of the toys available on the market is phenomenal. Many of these mainstream toys are cheap enough for everyone to own one and they seem to offer greater levels of technology than that which got man to the moon in 1969. Here are a few of the genius ideas I have come across that in my opinion rival the Apollo 11 for ingenuity.

Flying alarm Clock

The flying alarm clock is an ingenious way of making you leap out of bed. When the alarm sounds the alarm clock rises from the platform upon which it is placed and flies around the room. Complete with a helicopter style rotor blade you have to get up and catch it to switch it off. What a brilliant idea! I could well have done with one of these when I was younger and even now. The most amazing thing is that they only sell for around 20 pounds. What a bargain – perfect for a birthday gift.

USB Rocket launcher

USB technology is very recent. You can now buy a number of items that can be run by sticking them into your USB port. One of the most enjoyable of these gadgets is a USB rocket launcher. Equipped with a number of foam darts that can be shot at office work colleagues it is great fun. The rocket launcher sits on your desk and shoots darts out when instructed to do so by the computer. The best thing about this is that it is possible to hijack someone else’s. So if your friend is on the same network as you then you can tap in to their system and aim their darts at them – genius! I used to have to make do with paper darts – not anymore.

Electric paper plane launcher

Speaking of paper planes it is now possible to purchase a paper plane launcher. The products makers claim that the machine can launch planes at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. Wow – I think. I have to admit that this one is a bit of a puzzler to me and I have to admit I have not forked out the money to buy one. It sounds like the mother of all paper cut inducing machines. But fun nevertheless. I bet you could really achieve some distance for your plane with one of these. In my day we had to make use of our own throwing skill.

Motorised strap on skates

Yes that’s right motorised skates do actually exist! You can buy a pair of them, and you’ll definitely want two (unless you only have one leg), for around 100 pounds. There has surely never been a product that is more likely to kill as many people as these will.

Nevertheless it is a great concept – despite being bloody scary. Called the iShoes critics have called them the fastest trip to casualty you will ever make. I for one will definitely be trying these out though. They work with batteries that apparently last for up to 7 miles in one charge. The wheels on these skates are much bigger than those that are fixed to traditional skates. In my day we had to settle for riding around in a shopping trolley with a wonky wheel.
