TechByter Worldwide 2017-07-09: Helping Students Cope with School. XP, The Operating System that Would not Die. Short Circuits. Spare Parts.

TechByter Worldwide (formerly Technology Corner) with Bill Blinn

Things start to get complicated when students enter middle school and even more so as they progress to high school. A student who starts college this fall may have some help. XP seems to be the operating system that cannot be thrown off the island. It's no longer thriving, but it's still surviving. In Short Circuits: Have you received an urgent message saying that someone is trying to register your domain name in China? There's a good reason to ignore these messages. Research by PwC (formerly Price Waterhouse Coopers) in Moscow rates some of the world's largest cities in terms of their readiness to adapt to new technology. Most of the cities are not in the United States, but the Pacific Rim is well represented. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Technology could save fuel, money, and time for airlines. Destroying some myths about cyber-bulling. And Angry Birds seem to be been multiplying with abandon.
