- More than half of computer users do not backup their data on a regular basis. 63% said that they make backups less than once a month. 18% said that they never make backups at all. The most common reason for not making backups was that the process was too time consuming, however, those who did regularly backup their data said that the process took them an average of just 15 minutes each time.

Those who love watching TV now will love it even more so in the future. As almost every home has at least one TV in it, tech companies know that there is a huge potential market for each TV that they develop, and so they will continue to spend massive sums of money to ensure that their products are better than their competitors.

Therefore, businesses using promotional gifts to help with branding and marketing should be willing to spend a little more on items that people will actually use. By giving away quality gifts, people will be more likely to hold on to them and will think more highly of the company that they received them from. Find out more – Promotional Gifts

The advice follows an increase in the amount of injuries being incurred by cash strapped people who are carrying out dangerous jobs, such as replacing roof tiles or insulating their roof, themselves instead of calling in professionals. Doing all DIY jobs yourself may seem like a good way to save money, however, there are some jobs that are simply too risky. As well as the risk to your health, it is also probable that the work will not be carried out correctly, which can endanger other people too. Find out more – Roofers
