Wasting Time on the Web

The Internet has proven to be one of the most productive technologies ever created, but the soft under belly is loaded with many, many ways to waste lots of time.

This week, we focus on the many ways that you can use the Internet as a distraction from the hustle and bustle of life.

Millions of hard working web developers have slaved away and put their souls into sites that serve little or no purpose other than to help you waste your time.

Listen in as we discuss some of the less known ways for you to spend your idle time and reward all those misguided, but convicted web developers for their hard work!

Join us every Saturday from 12:00–2:00PM on FM News/Talk 92.3 as we discuss your computer questions at: 602.277.5827 or e-mail your questions during (or before) the broadcast using the ask a question page.

Cloud Computing: The Internet is often referred to as "the cloud" so "cloud computing" is being used to describe just about any application or task that you can perform from any Internet terminal (e-mail, Facebook, blogging, Salesforce.com, etc.) The esoteric view of cloud computing is when EVERYTHING you do is on the Internet and your terminal is nothing more than a way to access what you have stored on the Internet.
