Parental Geekery episode 17 - Tech things parents should know

March 09, 2013

We open with a classic Blackadder moment, for no reason other than we like it and wanted to share.


In our show today we work through the Sunday Times’ list of 14 tech things that parents should know. We’re working off the list published over on Bernie Goldbach’s blog as it was impossible to get hold of a copy of the original source. We work our way through the list, and then throw in our own suggestions at the end.


On the way we talk about the following:


AirDroid


Cloudberry


ARQ 3


Glacier


DropBox (please be aware this is an affiliate link, and if you sign up using it then both you and Ruth will get an additional 500mb storage)


John’s photos on flickr


Photoshop Touch (again!) - available on both iOS and Android


Lightroom


The episode of Security Now where Steve Gibson assesses how secure LastPass is


LastPass


1Password


WordPress


Snopes.com


Microsoft Security Essentials


Handbrake


VLC Player


We’ve been playing the Wreck-it Ralph game on iOS, and John’s managed to watch The Hobbit at last.
