Want to go on a time travel back to the days when having a mobile phone instantly gave you an elite status and they cost an arm and a leg (oh yeah, big hair and polyester hadn't yet really worked its way out of the mainstream either)? JUST HIT PLAY!
Have you ever gauged your skills at web-surfing? Is there a better way? How come I have to wade through 10 unwanted websites before I can find the information or service that I am looking for?
Most people only use the internet for a few, limited operations, like checking their email and searching for songs, maybe blogging. Because of the ready supply of information on advanced internet and computer use, it isn't necessary to list anything but broad categories- perhaps a top five list of literacy items will do (in no particular order).
1. Alternative operating systems
Learning to use a variety of O/S programs is almost like being multilingual- each time you expand your horizons and learn something new it becomes easier the next time.
2. Open source software
Going along with #1, there are many software programs which you can download for free that have as much utility, and sometimes more, than programs that cost hundreds of dollars. Such software is available because of the dedicated efforts of many freely contributing individuals.
3. User-edited media
Numerous websites have sprung up lately that offer lots of postings of materials such as free songs, free movies, or free television episodes.
4. Filesharing
While lots of media attention is given to sites like napster that are taken down and prosecuted, filesharing continues to be a problem in the intellectual property sectors of business. A bit of research on filesharing is advised to make sure you know the difference between fair use and copyright violation.
5. Search terms
Google, yahoo, and other search engines run complex formulas to determine the order that websites appear in their search engines. Learn to search efficiently- thinking of a more accurate search term will also exercise your vocabulary!
Last one: If you still can't figure out how to use the Internet to your advantage, there are many other manuals more complicated and thorough than this one that will help you access all the free movies, software, games, and lots more, you could ever need.
Das Internet ist voll von nuetzlichen und unnuetzen Informationen, so dass es mittlerweile die Hauptaufgabe eines jeden Internetnutzers ist, die relevantesten Daten herauszufiltern. Ein Grossteil der Surfer sucht nach Unterhaltung wie zum Bespiel kostenlose Filme, kostenlose Musik Downloads oder ein kleines Onlinespiel für zwischendurch. Scheinschatten.de hält viele nuetzliche Informationen zu diesen Themen bereit, um dir so die Suche im Internet zu erleichtern.
If you didn't know just how trivial it is to do this.
