The gist of the website and information offered is that everyone seeking to use a computer in the future really should "try out" the cloud technology platform that google has been rolling out since some major upgrades in 2016. The Technology Club Website refers to it as "Alien Technology" because to many who have not been following along, it is really that much different from what Microsoft, Apple, Oracle and others have been purveying since the 1990's.
Even if you don't like Google or Big Brother in general, we suggest you consume this educational information. We also suggest you use the idea of browser based computing with any platform of your choosing, after learning about what it can look like with the Google Offerings.
You need to understand what employees of major companies, governments and military have access to for efficiencies that will only separate them further from you if you don't try to keep up properly.
You need to understand what is available for you at some level, even if you don't like Google.
You need to understand what you might want to look for or hope for from other providers if you decide you do not want to use Google Services.
Seeking to ignore or diminish the relevant of what is transpiring in the world of computing will NOT lead you to a more stable personal life. Far, far less people are required to do what was once done, and that has global ramifications that are extremely significant and relevant both on a macro and micro scale.
The parts most relevant for your initial organization and educational needs, as well as the configuration of your own "Digital Productivity Suite" from that website include:
Technology History 101 - What transpired from the 1980s through today. That ends with an introduction to what hardware might benefit you the most now as a small business person and it's not what most of you might imagine right now.
Web Browser Understanding - The Google Chrome Browser is an Operating System and Software Platform that can run on any hardware you choose.
Google Account - You need a Gmail or google workspace account to explore this
Google Chrome Profile for your Google Account - you need to know how to "add your google account as a user (profile) in the Google Chrome Browser". You need to know how to do this with multiple accounts properly at the browser level.
Memorized Tab Set Utilities - Web browsers have tabs. A Tab Set organizer like Tab Cloud enables you to create "sets of tabs" which you can use to turn your browser into a customizable productivity software suite.
Password Manager(s) - Each Chrome profile you manage should have a password extensions operable. if you are just starting and you only have one account, using Chrome's built in password manager should suffice. If you have two or more accounts, you should be using a third party extension that you can log into from all your google user accounts as a single repository.
Google Drive configured with FAMMSOIT/bELS folders structure + some for initial organizational use
Gmail Settings and Function
and more...
Please work your way through this website and try to build out a foundational understanding of cloud technology and a productivity suite foundation that can work for you.
