Dropping ten thousand dollars on a complete hardware refresh because everyone in the office complains that their computers are running slowly is a common reaction. It seems logical that throwing money at the problem will instantly turn things around.

It is a common frustration when a workstation that once felt fast begins to lag. As you perform your daily tasks, the operating system collects digital baggage that interferes with performance.

You do not always need to spend money on new hardware to solve this. Often, the goal is simply to use the technology you already have in a more effective way. When a computer slows down, it is usually because the system resources are being stretched too thin by background processes and unnecessary files.

Want to hear a secret? Despite all the buzzwords and jargon, cybersecurity has a pretty simple foundation… one that many professionals refer to as the CIA Triad (unrelated to the intelligence agency). Its three pillars—Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability—serve as the three critical sides of the cybersecurity triangle. If any fail, the whole of your systems are at risk.

Let’s go over what makes up each side.

Updates and upgrades are expensive, but that doesn’t mean your business can afford to skip them. More often than not, ignoring an update or upgrade to your technology is going to result in eventual bugs, hardware issues, and security vulnerabilities that can only be addressed with an update or an upgrade. First of all, what’s the difference between the two, and how do you know which one is necessary in a given situation?

As is the case with most things, the past few years have seen significant changes in entertainment, thanks to the development of technology. We have literally gone from using extremely sensitive and delicate film to capture footage, manually trimming it on flatbed editors in dark rooms, to capturing, storing, editing, and displaying it digitally.

Let’s explore how the nature of entertainment has shifted as technology has developed over time.
