Slowdown in network speed: the 9 most likely causes
Wi-fi slowdowns can happen for a variety of reasons. Despite its central role in almost every household, WI-FI technology is still limited and ‘vulnerable’.
Virtual Machine and Cloud Server: why they are so similar and how to distinguish between them
VPS and Cloud Servers are two very similar services which are often confused. To the uninitiated, their functionalities may seem the same, but the differences are in fact considerable. Their security and hardware are where the main differences regarding cost and performance standards lie.
Price or quality: not only software
Whether to choose price or quality is a dilemma that we have all had to face at least once in our lives, but in order to obtain a certain level of quality it is almost always necessary to pay a minimum price, whatever sector is involved.
Possession versus streaming/access: evolution or involution?
Digital streaming is a process which allows users to access content such as music, film or other media, via an internet connection. This new system is slowly replacing the physical possession of CD’s and DVD’s, including digital licences purchased from online stores.
What is hyperconvergence and why is it a winning IT model
The term hyperconvergence refers to the option to concentrate various virtual aspects (including resources such as calculation, memorisation, networking and virtualisation) within a single management software architecture, by installing everything onto a single piece of hardware, known as an appliance.

AI and manipulation: how far can it go?
Does AI manipulate the users who interact with it? Are these new technologies really capable of influencing the choices and decisions of human beings? What can we expect from the future development of ever more complex systems and how will they interact with man?
Computers of the future: evolution or elimination?
The evolution computers have undergone since the sixties has been mind-blowing. They have transformed from huge machines that occupied entire rooms, to miniaturised, portable devices with an infinitely superior calculation capacity.
