Most people think accessibility features are only for people with disabilities. In reality, they’re some of the most useful settings on your phone — especially as our eyes, hearing, and dexterity change over time. If you’re setting up a new smartphone (or helping someone else), these are the five most commonly used and most helpful accessibility features to know about. I’ve included links to the iPhone and Android support websites for more information. If. you have a specific brand of Android smartphone, I recommend going to the manufacturer's website....
If you look at almost any modern car, you’ll notice a small fin-shaped bump on the roof, usually near the back. It resembles a shark fin, which is why many people call it exactly that. But it’s not there just for style. It actually does a lot of important work behind the scenes....
Have you ever wondered why your photos always open in the same app, your files save to the same folder, or your computer background looks the same each time you turn it on? That’s because of something called a default. In technology, default means “the choice that’s automatically made for you unless you change it.” Every computer, smartphone, and tablet comes with a set of default options that make it easy to get started — but you can usually change them to fit your personal preferences....

John called me one afternoon, sounding both excited and overwhelmed. “I want to make a website for my photography,” he said, “but I keep seeing terms like HTML, CSS, and something called CMS. What is that, and do I need it?”...

If you've ever saved a website so you can find it again later, you've already used bookmarks—or what some browsers call favorites. Different browsers use slightly different terms, but they all let you do the same thing: save useful links and organize them for easy access....
AI chat tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Google Gemini are transforming the way we obtain answers, compose emails, generate ideas, and even acquire new knowledge. But if you’re just getting started, some of the terms used in these chats can be confusing....
Not long ago, my friend Sarah came to me with a question I’ve heard many times: “I’ve got all these photos and video clips from my trip to Italy… is there an easy way to turn them into a video I can share with friends?” Absolutely. And that’s exactly what we did — using one of the many free video editing tools available today, like iMovie, Clipchamp, CapCut, or Adobe Express. You don’t need to be a techie to get started — just a little guidance....
If you use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re already using something called iCloud — even if you didn’t realize it! But what exactly is iCloud, and what’s being saved there?...
You don’t have to be a tech expert to start saving money with the gadgets and services you already use. Many people overpay for things they could do more efficiently, or for devices they don’t need, simply because they’re unaware of smarter options. Whether you’re managing a home office, cutting back on monthly bills, or getting more out of your smartphone, a little tech know-how can go a long way....
If you’ve ever turned on your computer and wondered why it takes longer to load than it used to, you’re not alone. You might also have seen a window pop up on your screen with a reminder to renew a service, like an anti-virus subscription. Much of this concerns two things running behind the scenes: startup programs and background processes. Let’s take a closer look at what they are, how they’re different, and how you can manage them to keep your computer running more smoothly....
When you sign up for an email address (like Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, or Outlook), you’re opening an account, like renting a P.O. Box at the post office. This account is where all your mail (or, in this case, your emails) gets delivered. An email service, such as Gmail by Google or iCloud by Apple, sends, receives, and stores your email. But instead of a mailbox at the post office, your messages are kept safely online in something called "the cloud." That means your emails live on secure internet servers, not just one device. So, whether you check your email on a phone, a tablet, or a computer, you always see the same messages — because they all come from that one account stored online....
AI in health care refers to computer systems that can process information, learn from it, and assist in decision-making or pattern recognition.
