DoctorGeek's tech tips

Sometimes it's a struggle to keep up with technology.... even if it is your business. Not only does computer technology change so fast, but often it hard just to figure out what's important.

DoctorGeek's Tech Tips offers remedies to make your computing life a little easier, more professional, and/or healthier - and sometimes extraordinary web sites worth visiting.

"So far, the computer industry has succeeded by using change to its advantage.

  • Every 18 months, advances in technology virtually double the amount of computing power a dollar will buy.
  • In the last 35 years, computer performance has increased by a factor of one million while the entry level price of a computer has decreased by a factor of 1,000.
  • If automobile development had moved at the same speed as computer development, your luxury car would cruise comfortably at 1 million miles per hour, get a half million miles per gallon of gas, and sell for under $2.40."
