Every day we share the tech news that impacts your life — and what you can do about it.

Phone scams have been on the rise recently. Thieves target pretty much anyone looking for new victims, especially those who are older and not so tech-savvy. Some victims lose huge money, sometimes to the tune of thousands of dollars. Well, one man has had enough and set out to try and catch these scammers in the act.

Back in the early 2000s, we were introduced to the Segway. We were told this new device would revolutionize urban transportation and change the way cities were built. Well, it didn’t really work out that way. So what exactly happened, and why didn’t the Segway become the phenomenon we were promised?

A few decades ago, the only people carrying computers in their pockets that doubled as communication devices were in sci-fi flicks. Now, virtually everyone has a smartphone. The quick advance in technology didn't give much time to study the impacts of using a smartphone. So, how does it affect your mind and body?

The more we rely on our devices for work, school and our personal lives, the more we have to lose. Whether it’s bank accounts, personal data, photos, conversations — there’s just so much to preserve and protect. That’s why I recommend TotalAV’s industry-leading security suite. It’s easy to use and offers the best protection in the business. In fact, they’ve received the renowned VB100 award for detecting more than 99% of malware samples for the last three years in a row.

Not only do you get continuous protection from the latest threats, their AI driven service, WebShield, blocks dangerous websites automatically, stopping threats before they reach you. Plus you can subscribe to data breach alerts and clear out old files with the Junk Cleaner.
