The Internet has been around since the 1960’s. The World Wide Web was invented in 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee as a tool for academic and government researchers to link scientific research। It was not widely available to the general public until Internet Service Providers began offering dial-up service in the mid-1990s.

Any computer you buy now is obsolete in about 3 years if you continue to buy modern software। Most of the proprietary or integrated computers are obsolete much sooner, 1.5-2 years. Nevertheless, the average computer problem can be avoided with just a few minor tweaks:

OVERLOAD ON ACTIVE FONTS

Every new font you install sucks up physical memory। Unless you have RAM to spare, it would be advisable not to load too many more than your commonly used fonts.

Recommend making a folder like “Fonts_other”, since this will help you find it easily; “Fonts_other” should wind up right next to (or under) the Fonts folder। Then, when you want to use a particular font in a document/graphic, go to your “Fonts_other” folder, double-click on the font you want to use, and launch the application in which you wish to use it. The font should show up in your regular list as if it were installed the “normal” way. When you’re done, you can close the font preview window and Windows is none the wiser.This also fixes the problem of too many fonts. All fonts are stored in the Registry, which has a limit of 64k for each key, meaning 800 - 1000 fonts are all that can be stored without a shareware font manager program.

SCREEN SAVERS AND A SYSTEM THAT हंग्स

One of the first things you then need to do is disable the power management of your system। Sure, you were right when you opted for a power management system that either puts the monitor into a sleep mode or a screen saver comes on. Not all components react favourably when the system automatically gets into a reduced-power mode. Which is why they do not respond or the system hangs when you try to get the system up again after a while.

BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE WIFI

You may have already used wireless networks in your home, in airports, coffee shops, or even public parks। These networks are convenient, but they do come with a security risk. If you set up your own wireless network at home or in your dorm room, learn how to protect your home network and pay special attention to the section on wireless network security.

PASSWORD YOUR COMPUTER

Passwords are the first line of defense in protecting your computer from criminals, pranksters, or a careless roommate. If you don’t use a password to log on to your computer, anyone can access your computer and unlock it. Be sure to lock your computer when you’re not using it.

BACK UP ALL WORK

The image of us losing important documents because we forgot to back up our work has almost become a cliché. Still, many of us don’t have the time to back up. You can set back up programs to do it on a daily basis or do what I do and save all important documents on an external HD.

BONUS TIPS

१।Use a personal firewall to keep unwanted entities out of your computer.
२।Don’t open email attachment that you are not expecting to receive and scan all attachments with a virus scan program before opening or sending.
३।Only make online purchases through known companies. If you want to make a purchase from an unknown company, take time to research the company.
४।Keep your operating system up to date. If you have a windows/mac computer, make sure you update the operating system on a regular basis.
५।Never plug your computer directly into a power outlet. Relatively inexpensive surge protectors go a long way to protect a several thousand dollar investment.
६।Unplug your system during lightning storms, even if it is surge protected।
