My Laptop And I

My laptop is my buddy. I bring it anywhere; even if I go to sports practices, adventurous scuba diving adventures, or even to a simple sip of coffee at Starbucks. It has become an essential part of me because I can do whatever I want with it -- Internet browsing, music downloading, video streaming, and many more. I don't know but I probably have influenced my younger brother to do the same. He also has his laptop anywhere he goes. Actually, we have three laptops in our house; one for our parents, my brother's, and mine.

One boring day, we decided to play an online game. We needed a router to connect with each other. That means my mom would see my secret files. I don't want to mention what it contains. However, my computer was the main server so I had control of everything. I immediately put a password to my administration interface to protect my files. Then, we all played happily ever after.

Securing wireless networks is a simple yet essential thing. We have to protect our computers when we indulge in wireless networking. Aside from firewall that blocks viruses from other networks, we need to personally do certain ways to keep our computer private. One example is putting personal password to your administration interface. If your computer is the main server, have a unique password that no one can ever guess. This simple reminder goes to all computer users that have wireless networking at home or in business offices. As for my laptop, I always ensure that it's secured and safe.
