2015, eight of these technologies make your life more enjoyable.

The 2015 has just begun, after 2014 years of development, the entire digital and network technology has been with our daily life close to a step. And from 2015 onwards, our digital life will be further changed by the evolving technology. Trying to make some changes in our digital life will make everything simpler. Let's take a look at some of the new technologies that will further affect our digital lives in the coming 2015.

　　All the data is backed up by the cloud.

In conventional wisdom, there are usually only three channels for storing data: raw data, storage devices, and extra backups in a home computer. In the first two ways, we usually choose home desktops and external hard drives, but the third approach does not seem to be a good way to go. After all, we have to take into account, for example, fire or robbery, that the data don't seem particularly safe.

Therefore, the third way to choose the online cloud backup is the simplest and most effective way, such as Backblaze, Carbonite and CrashPlan. The backup service we are talking about here is not a cloud storage solution like Dropbox or OneDrive. Typically, authentic online backup services are not provided with sync options (except SpiderOak), and prices are much cheaper than cloud storage services. For example, Backblaze can connect a hard disk in any PC to a backup server as long as it is 50 dollars a year.

This price is cheaper for keeping photos, music, videos and files in your home. At the same time, whether to choose Data encryption services also need to be based on their own circumstances, but do not forget to set the password. After all, in this era of personal privacy, we have to do everything we can to protect ourselves.

　　Be careful with your pictures.

Last August, Apple's icloud account was hacked, and photos of female celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kirsten Dunst were exposed to the Internet. This also reminds us from the side, put the data on the Internet should also pay attention to security.

In fact, this is not fair to the victims, but as long as the photos begin to circulate, they will not be able to make their hours completely. Therefore, to avoid this harm to their own occurrence, is to avoid any other people do not want to be seen in any form of files uploaded to the Internet, or you will likely regret.

Therefore, if your mobile phone opens up the photo automatic cloud Backup feature, then take a look at the photos to consider whether it is appropriate to back up to the Internet. Hackers who later hacked into Sony's business further taught us how to protect email and other information, not just photos. Also, on social media such as Facebook, don't forget to set permissions for strangers to view.

　　Quickly get rid of XP while waiting for Windows 10

Perhaps you would say, my XP is used well, why bother to change a new system? But the truth is, the era of XP is over. There will be any serious loopholes in the future, and Microsoft won't be responsible for your old system.

Even if you don't want to replace XP, many popular programs will slowly give up support for XP. For example, your favorite Google Chrome browser, although still support XP, but in the year after XP was abandoned, will slowly stop support. After all, XP has been in service for 12 years since it was released, and now it is time to give up on security concerns.

Unless your hardware only supports XP or plans to replace the Linux system, we recommend that you spend some money to upgrade to an updated system. But in 2015, we were advised not to worry too much, but wait. The first PCs pre-installed with Windows 10 systems came out. As Microsoft's future operating system, Windows 10 offers many features to return to the traditional desktop operating system (such as resuming the Start menu, etc.) and is closer to PC users than Windows 8.

In addition, Microsoft has said at the press conference that Windows 8 users can upgrade to Windows 10 for free, so it is now time to replace the system or even the PC.

　　It's time to change the solid-state drive.

If you've been holding on, you should have bought a solid state drive in 2015 years. Now the price of solid-state drives has fallen sharply, usually 250GB capacity of less than 100 dollars (about 610 yuan). Although this price is not as low as the traditional mechanical hard drive, but for the average user has been able to accept. In addition, there are some very good new technologies that have been applied to solid-state drives in 2014, such as m.2 PCIe solid-state drives and Samsung's high-speed 3D V-nand technology. If you're worried about the longevity of a solid-state drive, it's completely unnecessary. Because a new study shows that the lifespan of a solid-state drive is not necessarily a concern.

If you really want to upgrade your computer, it's wise to replace the original mechanical hard drive into a solid-state drive. You know, solid-state drives can make your old computer feel "flying".

　　Give Chromebook one chance.

In 2014, we saw a number of very eye-catching Chromebook notebooks, usually priced at 250 dollars (about 1460 yuan) to 400 U.S. dollars (about 2500 yuan), and performance was also very good. In addition to the hardware itself, Chromebook's offline use features have also increased dramatically, with Google play movie and TV, and even Chromebook, running a portion of Android apps. In addition, common applications such as Photoshop, Office, and Skype appear in the web version for 2014 of years. The addition of these new features has allowed Chromebook to gradually become popular in the fields of Office and school.

　　Pay attention to privacy security

Although data security issues have been mentioned over and over, there have been many devastating data-disclosure times in 2014, including ebay, home Depot, JPMorgan Chase and Sony. Although the corporate database has been compromised you have no way, but we can also use a variety of ways to protect their privacy security.

Our most common passwords must be set more complex and better, after all, hackers will need more time to crack them. Usually, the number of digits in the password is long enough (12 bits, for example), and if it is possible, it is better to add a special symbol besides numbers and letters to enhance the security level. Also, make sure passwords for accounts that include banks, e-mail, and social networks are set separately, not all the same.

If the password is set too much to remember, you need some password management software to help, such as Dashlane or LastPass. These tools all have the automatic Update password function, can help you to sync the password that just changed in a few minutes.

In addition, set a good password, it is best to add double authentication, such as mobile phone messages. After all, even if the hacker cracked your password, the second serious can still block them.

　　Change a new computer

In the new year, many people have plans to change for themselves a faster new computer, whether it's office or games. Even if you don't change it completely, it's a good choice to upgrade your configuration (for example, the suggestion to replace the SSD).

In addition, the eliminated old computer also don't throw randomly, want more responsible dispose of them. For example, send them to a dedicated recycling center, and many other Apple stores and Best Buy also have the same service.

　　Try some new technology

In recent years, a variety of new technologies have been constantly appearing in front of us, but also inspired us to continue to try the desire. In 2015 years, why not start experiencing it?

If you like, the consumer version of Oculus Rift virtual reality will start selling at a price between 200 and 400 dollars (about 1250 to 2500 yuan). There is also the online gaming streaming media service like Steamos that allows you to experience a high quality gaming experience in your living room. You can even try to build your own Minecraft server and experience the pleasures of the family. In addition, 3D printer, can become a DIY raspberry pie and so on, are very good choice. But the premise is that you need to have some basic PC knowledge to do.
