The computer and the Internet are mankind's most significant discoveries of the 20th century.

With the computer, man's brain had been extended tremendously, giving him an extra ordinary mental processing power. With the Internet, mankind's vast accumulation of knowledge had been placed at everyone's fingertips.

And with the advances in communications technology, each person has become within virtual reach of everyone, shrinking the world into a global village.

The articles deal with the  different aspects of computers and the Internet and are categorized into six general topics that include buying and fixing computers, home networking, web design, video making and the future of computer and Internet technology.

There are of course other interesting topics that may not fall easily on those six categories. Links to those other articles are to be found under Suggested Titles on the sidebar of the page. They deal with making better use of computers, keeping personal information safe, hardware and software, and issues about the Internet in general.

Linux has gained much momentum in the battle of supremacy for the operating system of choice among users of desktop and laptop computers. The search behemoth Google has sponsored the development of Android, a mobile gadget operating system that is based on a Linux foundation. There is a flowering of free Linux distributions most notable of which are Puppy Linux, Parted Magic, and Linux Mint. I have written a few articles regarding this topic and have posted them in this website.

I trace my computer experience back in the days of old behemoths like UNIVAC and IBM mainframes. I write to help people better understand the computer and the Internet and use computer and Internet products and services wisely to improve their lives.

This site presents my more technically-oriented write-ups. My personal web at http://sites.google.com/site/themightypenproject/Home deals with the more for fun and not so serious topics.

I hold a degree in journalism and a professional diploma on information technology. I'm looking for work opportunities on technical writing and this web site serves as my works portfolio on topics dealing with  computers and the Internet.
