But here’s the part no one tells you - even if your system is fully patched, you might still be the weak link.

The online kind that stick around longer than that old fruitcake in the back of your freezer.  🧠Habit#1 - Clicking Without Thinking See an email that says “Urgent! Your account has been compromised”? Or maybe a text promising “You’ve won a prize!” If your finger moves fa...

https://youtu.be/NRXF2TMpgX8 This guide (#7 of 14) focuses on why You Should Click 'Update'  Seniors often ignore or fear software updates. This prompt explains their importance in a positive, protective way. Here's the prompt I used to create the lesson: "Develop a fun Storybook for seniors explaining why it is crucial to always click 'Update' when your phone or computer asks you to. Explain that these updates are like giving your device a 'Mighty Shield' or a new lock to keep the bad guys out. The story should reassure the reader that updates are safe and necessary maintenance, not a cause for worry. Focus on making the action simple: just click 'Install Now'." Key Lesson - The importance of installing software updates immediately to protect against new threats. I used Copilot's Storybook to create this lesson, ZOOM's Clips to record the story (lesson) and ScreenPal do any final editing and to upload the lesson to YouTube. You can...

"The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people." – President Theodore Roosevelt Truer words may never have been spoken, especially when we consider the often-turbulent waters of modern politics. President Theodore Roosevelt, a figure who dominated American politics at the turn of the 20th century, understood something fundamental about leadership and lasting success: it's not just about grand ideas, but about the human element of connection and collaboration. This begs a critical question for today: Is it time for our political leaders, perhaps specifically the Democratic Party, to take a refresher course in Roosevelt's "getting along" philosophy? T.R.'s Masterclass in Connection Roosevelt wasn't just a dynamic personality; he was a strategic genius when it came to building consensus and moving people. His "getting along" wasn't about being universally beloved, but about effective...
