If you want to listen to music while you browse do the following:
Desktops just click the "play button"
Mobile devices tap "listen in browser"
To turn off the sound click or tap the stop icon on the player.
You can control the volume with your device.
Ditch cable and watch the majority of your programming over the internet, by cutting the cord (canceling your cable t.v. services)!
In other words, your viewing pleasure on your telvision is now " a la carte".
Cable companies are charging ridiculous prices for their so called triple threat packages that include internet, t.v., and phone. AT&T, Xfinity, etc. have been robbing people for too long. You can easily cut your bill in half or more by getting away from the cable.
My cable bill just kept rising and rising, sometimes without notice and I had enough. It was way over $200 a month. Matter of fact, ATT&T was sued for doping their customers bills. Greed is still the big DOG in the game of life and people are just fed up with it.
Well now you no longer need CABLE to watch t.v. You just need the fastest, reliable internet connection you can get in your area. I always suggest to my clients and anyone, buy the fastest connection you can. The average cost is somewhere between $50-$100 dollars per month. Just make sure your internet provider has an excellent track record for supplying reliable service.
To save more money, I suggest you go to Best Buy or somethiing like that and purchase your own modem. Make sure you get a quality modem. They can start at $100 plus and go up to whatever you want. Each month your internet company is charging you a fee to rent their modem. After one year, your savings will have covered your expense for your own modem.
To get your local t.v. programming in your area, all you need is some kind of antenna (rabbit ears). Of course the connection type should be HDMI, and a digital t.v set top box to complete its installation. All of that will cost you about $50. My sister Karen had an old set of rabbit ears and she was able to get over 128 local channels.
The next thing I suggest you buy is some sort of streaming device such as: Amazon's Firestick, Apple TV, Roku streaming device, etc. There are many to choose from, but the one's mentioned here are very popular. The Firestick will cost around $50.00. The Apple TV is quite more expensive coming in at $150.00, and the Roku can start around $30.00. The Firestick from Amazon is probably the most purchased and you also have the ability to jailbreak it thus giving you unlimited t.v. programming from all over the world.
Finally, you can then opt to subscribe to the many streaming services that have the programming you like. YouTube, Hulu, Sling, Disney, Paramount, and so many more. The nice thing about all of them is that you don't need a contract for any length of time and can terminiate at any time and reinstate at anytime. For example: I add Sling TV during Wimbledon and the Football season only. Bottom line is you only pay for what you want with no obligation for long term.
Summing all of this up. Cutting the cord will save you money. You choose what you want to see and hear. You can unsubscribe at any time. Your cable bill will only reflect the internet connection coming into your home. NOTHING MORE!

I have been so fortunate and blessed to have gained so much knowledge of the technology world that we live in today. For the last twenty-nine years, I have been blessed to have the opportunity to own and operate my own computer consulting firm here in Houston, Texas. Many thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and also to my family who stressed the importance of a good education. Having creditials when I moved to Houston some forty years ago allowed this opportunity. Over those years I have learned a great many things and this page has been created so that I can give back some of what I’ve learned to the mcsyd.com family.
This problem is very serious indeed and it bugs the hell out of me. Why? People are destroying themselves as well as so many innocent people around them. True, God gave us so many abilities that include multitasking skills. However, I do not believe driving and paying more attention to a mobile device is a skill he wanted us to have. Try and remember the 3 second rule when driving. It states drivers should stay safely behind other drivers within a three second count regardless of the vehicle speed.
That means with your eyes looking dead ahead out of the windshield, within three seconds you can avoid an accident because you have enough time to see it coming and veer off and away. Three seconds can happen awful quick if your eyes are on that device. When you look up it may be too late.
Some states like Texas have Distracted Driving Laws in place but at the current time I do not believe they are saving lives. Why? Well the Po Po is supposedly to be looking out for offenders of these laws, however they too are distracted because they’re looking at their screens and only the Lord knows what they're viewing.
Apple Computer is trying to help with this problem by having their iPhone inform callers that the person they are trying to reach is driving their vehicle and cannot take calls or messages until the vehicle stops. I LIKE IT. Android phones can download the app Android Auto and it will function basically the same using your voice to control everything. Of course the end-user still has the ability to turn off this feature. BAD IDEA. If you truly think that the world revolves only around you and you must communicate with the world at every second of the day, then take this advice, hire a chauffeur.
SAVE LIVES DON’T TAKE THEM AWAY!
