TechByter Worldwide 2017-07-16: Your Car's Built-In GPS is Obsolete. Pondering "Net Neutrality". Short Circuits. Spare Parts.

Do you have an in-car GPS system that you need to buy annual updates for? If so, that system is obsolete. The Federal Communications Commission is working to eliminate "net neutrality". Let's consider opinions from conservatives and liberals who say that this is a technology issue, not a political issue. In Short Circuits: Is it time to upgrade to a solid-state drive? If you're concerned about cost or reliability, your concerns are outdated. Nuclear power plants are the latest targets of malware creators. This is not a comforting thought. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Wi-Fi will be present on more than half of all commercial airliners within 5 years. 4D printing is the future even if you have no idea how something could be printed in 4 dimensions. This may sound like a repeat (and maybe it is) but we are facing the final showdown on net neutrality and it's time to speak up.
