BACK TO SCHOOL!

School is starting in a couple weeks, and with that comes school supply shopping.  I read an interesting article that provides suggestions for back to school tech gadgets.  You can read it here. Some things I didn't see on the list are Chromecast (great for college students) and Microsoft OneNote.  OneNote is AWESOME for organization - think To Do lists with due dates and reminders, and re-typing school notes.  Just a few things to help make this school year successful!

HOW THE INTERNET WILL CHANGE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH INSURANCE

According to Business Insider Intelligence, there will be an estimated 9 billion IoT (Internet of Things) devices worldwide by 2018.  Device examples include thermostats, light bulbs, cars, and wearables like Fitbit.  Our insurance policies and claims will soon be connected to our smart devices, which may change the way we communicate with our insurance providers.  Read more here.

THE WAIT'S OVER...

Windows 10 is finally here! You may be wondering... Is Windows 10 right for me?
  • Are you currently running Vista?  Don't upgrade.  Your hardware is probably over 5 years old and Windows 10 is designed to work with newer computer parts.  Vista users don't get a free upgrade to Windows 10 either.
  • Do you hate Windows 8/8.1?  Windows 10 may be for you.  The start menu is also back and better than ever!
  • If you currently utilize the features listed below, you may not want to upgrade as they will be dropped with a Windows 10 upgrade.
  • Do you have Windows 7/8/8.1?  Upgrade to 10 if you want a better overall performance.
Please contact us with any questions.  We are always here to help!
