Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

5. Why Use a Handheld Device for Genealogy?
• Convenience – Carry your
information with you at all
times
• Compare notes with
others at family reunions
or at genealogy meetings
• As a backup to your
primary computer in case
of a hard drive crash or
other major catastrophe
• Portable and easily
updated – Better than
carrying everything in 3-
ring binders!
6. Handheld computers are here to
stay:
• More than 900 million iPads sold in less
than five years (Introduced in April 3, 2010)
• 600 million iPhones sold in eight years
including 74 million in the last fiscal
quarter
• Numbers for Android devices are probably
similar
7. Genealogy
Considerations:
• Some of today’s handheld devices
store their data internally within the
device, while others store data
online “in the cloud.”
• Which is better?
• The answer is: “It all depends.”
8. Genealogy
Considerations:
• Advantages of storing data in the device:
– Always available (does not need a network connection)
– Fast
• Disadvantages of storing data in the device:
– Need to keep multiple copies of your data (desktop,
handheld, and possibly elsewhere)
– Difficulties in updating all versions simultaneously
– Storage size constraints
– Poor security in case the handheld device is lost or stolen
9. Genealogy
Considerations:
• Advantages of storing data in the cloud:
– One master copy that is easily updated and then is
immediately available on all devices
– Highly secure, no privacy concerns if the device is
stolen or lost
– Share or keep private as you wish
• Disadvantages of storing data in the cloud:
– Requires a working Internet connection
– Typically is slower than displaying locally-stored data
10. Genealogy
Considerations:
• Choice of Operating System:
– Apple iOS (many genealogy apps available)
– Android (several genealogy apps available)
– Blackberry (no genealogy apps available)
– Chromebook (works well when using a cloud-
based service, such as MyHeritage,
FamilySearch, Ancestry, FindMyPast, etc.)
11. Genealogy
Considerations:
• Read Only?
• or
• Can you update from the handheld? (Very few
programs do this)
• My recommendation: Don’t worry about updating
from the handheld unless you have a real keyboard
attached
13. Explanation:
• “Apps” is an abbreviation for “Applications”
• In other words, an “App” is the same thing as a
program
• Except…
14. Explanation:
• The word “App” usually refers to a program designed
to run on a small, handheld device.
• Applications for computers are big. Apps for mobile
devices are small.
• Applications need to be installed. Apps need to be
downloaded.
15. Explanation:
• Applications cost double-digit dollars and more. Apps
are generally ten bucks and under. Many are FREE.
• Applications are complex. Apps are simple.
• You get the idea. Applications are tall trees. Apps are
shrubbery…
16. Explanation:
• There are too many available handheld genealogy
apps to describe all of them in detail in a 60-minute
presentation
• I will focus on the more popular apps
17. Available Apps
