Password Changes
This has to be your number one resolution in the tech category. If you have not changed your password in the last 3 months, do it now. It is high time you change all those passwords that you have not in the recent past. Your personal info needs to be secure. So, change your password immediately for all your accounts and vow to change them regularly. If you feel, you will have trouble remembering them, try password manager or store them in a password vault.
Data Back Up
It is most important to back your data up, because it is no use crying over spilt milk. You cannot help yourself once you lose the data, there is no way to regain it unless you have a back up of your data. There are many incidents when people lose their vital info when their phone or tablet is lost or broken and all their contacts and other important info is gone. It is for this reason you need to back the data. You can search for online backup services for protecting your vital info. If you own a Smartphone make sure your back up is turned on, it is iCloud back up for iPhone.
Privacy settings
Social networking sites change their privacy polices regularly, so make sure you check your settings regularly too in order to confirm that you are sharing your personal info only with those who you know. This is important because, policy changes might invalidate your previous privacy settings, so be alert. It is time consuming but make sure that you read the lengthy terms of service document before you click “join”.
As you are all set to make changes this new year with huge goals and tasks, do not forget about the little that are also important to do. Add a few tech resolutions too to your list of New Year resolutions and help prevent yourself from a lot of trouble in the future.
