Fun Fact Day

Remember when we used land lines to connect to the internet?  Dial-up was slow and impractical.  However I found myself the other day with a computer and no internet connection.  Then my eyes came across my cell phone and remembered the days of dial-up.  I could not only just use my cell phone as a modem, but I could basically use the internet anywhere I wanted.

To do this make sure that you have a data plan and the necessary drivers on your computer for your cell phone. You can get the drivers from your retailer or through their website.  Once you've obtained the drivers you can either connect your cell phone using a USB cord or you could actually use bluetooth to connect wireless.  The connection is fast enough on my computer.

I guess outdated technology can sometimes be useful.
