We Are Obsolete

We Are Obsolete That is what computers would be saying by now. Now I'm not talking about Moores Law. Instead I'm talking about the way we use our current computers. We keep buying bigger and bigger hard drives and other storage devices. And why? Mostly because we are unaware that we can have a computer with no more the 64MB of flash memory, and an internet connection. Don't believe me. I'll prove it.

First you've got to find out what you need a computer for. Different people need a computer for different reasons. And once you find out what exactly you need your computer for, there are many alternatives other then clogging your computer up with tons of extra software.


I need my computer for work

If you need your computer for work, you can always use google docs and spreadsheetsThis is a free service google offers that lets you do word processing, spreedsheets, and a new comer to this service is now google presentations. It will only be a matter of time that google will also offer a nice database program. And also when you download your saved data from these services you can choose to download it in a number of formats.


Do you need to manage your money and expense. If you ask me the safest way to do such a thing would be do online bank strait from your banks website. And if you have more then one bank account with several banks sign up for all of the banks online banking plans. Usually these are all free to do. However if you just want to be able to access one site and manage all your bank accounts, you might want to try Buxfer.
If you truly need an OS for any other things that your business does, you may want to try You OS However there programs aren't compatible with other OSes. Which is a major bummer.



But I mostly use my computer for photos, music, and videos

Well for photos there are several choice you can choose from.
Photo Buckets
Googles Picasa (only supports JPEGs to my knowledge)
Flickr
Image Shack
And if you want your photos to be private and not viewed by anyone then you can always set up an FTP Server. Just go to your favorite website hosting company and purchase some disk space.
For videos you might want to try
Rip Way (they do everything. You can upload webpages, photos, music, and videos)
VidiLife
For music I can only think of Rip Way

But what about games?

Games! Games! are you out of your mind computers are tools, if you want to play games you should get a game console. But if you still insist on playing games. You might want to check to see if your current OS has the games you like installed by default. If it doesn't you don't have to install anything else, just go to Games.com

And that is about it.

There is one problem with what you posted. I like to use computers for gaming because you can get much better graphics from a computer then you can from a game console. And those online games are ok but the real graphics lie in what you buy and install.

With a name like Gamergal you would have to know that for sure. Like I said I'm not big into playing video games.
