What Online Paid Surveys Are All About

By Greg Shuey

If you are looking for a part-time job where you can make a decent amount of money for not much of your time, then you had best be trying out online surveys.

Having an online survey job can let you save up some money to get those extra things that you always wanted but could not afford. It is nothing that extravagant in mind, but just a little extra to pay for a few trips and holidays every now and then " perhaps even buy some gifts or just plain and simple savings.

Do not be fooled by a lot of online survey sites. There are also bogus ones aside from the legit ones. It just takes some sense to find out which are the real ones. Those you want to stay away from are those that want you to pay a registration or membership fee to start with them, as well as those that offer big amounts of cash for each job. Why do you need to pay somebody so you can do work for them? That just does not make any sense.

You can make good money filling up forms for these surveys but it is nothing like being promised $100 an hour. Another thing to point out is that you should pick the sites that offer cash up front because there are some that will offer you a chance to win prizes in exchange.

It is quite simple to sign up for these sites and it is actually a good idea to sign up with several of them. This gives you a better chance of having work to do. The only thing that they ask you to do is be able to fill up the surveys with honesty and integrity, because these surveys are important bits of data that are used by big companies. Yes, it would cost these big companies less to pay for your services than by any other means.

A nice thing about this job is it does not take much to start off. All you need is a computer and an Internet connection. It also does not require you to be online all the time, nor does it require you to be filling up forms the whole day. In most cases, it will only take maybe an hour or two a day, depending on your speed. The forms are simple enough to fill out because they are just a lot of questions.

Try going to an online survey site and start making that extra money now.

Get Online: Data Storage Blues

By James Gilbert Pynn

Though the darlings at Lifehacker would have you believe online data storage is a new technology, they're wrong. Online data storage is not some novel idea. Nor was it an idea that only recently came upon the ultra-hip the market. Indeed, contrary to popular belief, it has been a staple of standard business practice since the 1980s. You remember the Eighties, don't you? The Flock of Seagulls hair? Miami Vice? Reaganomics?

The technology involved in online data storage was the result of Provo, Utah's very own: Novell Inc. That's right, hipster, in totally un-hip Utah (no offense Utah residents). Businesses in the Eighties needed their data stored in a centralized database that would not be jeopardized should the company's hardware be compromised. And so the filer server as we know it today was born.

File servers are ideally suited for the modern workplace. They provide instantaneous collaboration, allowing employees to work on respective projects and have them reviewed and developed by other team members. This transcends the limitations of space (offices in various cities) and time (allowing employees to stay firmly planted in their seats). Since all he company's data is stored in one database, any employee with authorization is allowed to therefore access it and use it as they need.

Worrying about the security of your data should have gone the way of the floppy disc. While companies do indeed have local servers and computers, all data should be backed up with remote servers. This is helpful in light of hardware failures or natural disasters. What could be a terrible occurrence could turn out to be a mere inconvenience. Having this kind of data insurance gives businesses an incredible sense of stability and security.

Of all the online data storage providers, only a handful have both the reputation and the reliability today's companies demand. They allow users to retrieve any and all necessary files at any time. This, therefore, increased productivity, allowing employees to get more done and more quickly. Companies can have their pick from the throng of online servers, especially with regards to storage solutions. A simple search engine query will pull up a number of results that can meet any company's needs.

How can We Prevent Road Accidents from Happening

By A Nutt

There is no doubt about it; there are far too many accidents on the road today. Even if you are the most careful and contentious driver on the road there is still a chance that someone will slam into your car causing you, at the very least, some property damage and maybe something far worse.

There is nothing you can do that will guarantee you a constantly safe and totally accident free driving experience, but there are several things that travelers can do to help minimize the amount of accidents that occur on the road every day.

Obey the Traffic Laws The state makes prospective drivers pass a test before they get behind the wheel for a reason, automobiles can be very dangerous if they aren't operated properly and according to the laws of the road. Speed limits, traffic signs and all other traffic signals should be closely adhered to every single time someone gets behind the wheel, traffic laws are put in place to protect all of the travelers who are sharing space on the road. Following traffic signals isn't an option, those drivers that treat it as such are usually the ones you see pulled over to the side of the road being handed a violation by officers or off the side of the road due to being involved in an accident after that required roadside assistance.

Pay Attention to the Road and Your Surroundings at all times There can be plenty of things going on in traffic all around you, so it's crucial that you pay attention to everything going on around you. Driving should be your only focus while behind the wheel. Too many travelers use there commute to eat their breakfasts, drink their coffees, apply their make up and change their outfits and these are often the drivers that are involved in accidents. If you don't have time to eat, change or apply your make up before you get in the car, it's probably a good idea to start getting up earlier. Those five extra minutes of sleep won't help you replace your totaled automobile or help with your rehabilitation following an accident.

Put Down the Cell Phone Our cell phones now are a huge survival tool, they let us make calls, receive and send text messages and e-mails, surf the internet and get directions, watch videos, take pictures and listen to music, among other things, but one place they don't belong is in your hand while you're behind the wheel. You simply can't concentrate on the road and the things going on around you while you're typing a text message or reading an e-mail. There are laws against using your cell phone while driving in many states now, and those laws are just as important to follow as all of the other laws on the road, you can read your e-mails and send your texts when you get to your destination, but doing so while your driving may not let you get to your destination at all.

Don't Drive under the Influence Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a major cause of accidents and automobile related deaths. An easy way to prevent this is to not drive while you are under the influence, if you have to drink, and then find another way to get home. Have a sober friend drive you, take a cab or spend the night where you are, but never get behind the wheel after you've been drinking.

Many of the accidents that occur are preventable, if people would just pay attention and abide by the laws of the road. By staying aware of your surroundings you can help to minimize the chances that you'll be involved in an accident, but if you choose to drink and drive or play with your cell phone while you're driving then you are setting yourself up to become a statistic.
