The latest online craze, Fortnite, has a hold on young Kiwis and concerns are mounting about school children staying up too late to play the game. More than 125 million players worldwide play the game and the multi-player Battle Royale, where 100 people battle it out in a third-person shoot 'em up until the last person standing wins, is hugely popular. More details here: www.stuff.co.nz....
Tell us how you're coping with the new online craze in the comments section - are you having problems? Have you noticed a change in your child's behaviour? Are they losing sleep? How are you managing it?

Just a note to all my friends who use computers to do things- do back up your data.
If your data is important to you, don't assume it is safe.

If your data is important to you, don't assume it is safe.
If you get a cryptolocker (ransomware) virus, Your data is Gone (or at the least, very expensive to retrieve).
If your hard drive in your computer fails (median lifetime of current hard drives is 6 years, 25% fail within first 4 years), Your data is Gone.
If the motherboard or power supply in your computer starts to fail, your data may be gone.
If your operating system or RAM does something silly, your data may be gone.
If you get a power spike/lightning strike and it makes it past your power supply, Your data is Gone.
If you have a blackout/brownout, your data may be gone.
If you accidentally delete your data, Your data is Gone.
If someone else deletes your data, Your data is Gone.
If your computer is stolen, Your data is Gone.
If someone steps on the screen of your laptop and it doesn't have an external display port, you're gonna have to pay someone to retrieve the data or Your data is Gone.
If Your data is Gone, Your data is Gone. When data is Gone it doesn't tend to return often if at all.
The easiest way to make your data 'not gone' is to back it up to an external hard drive (~$70 a terabyte nowadays) using a free backup program like the ones built into Mac OSX and Windows.
Another way is to have your documents in 'the cloud' (online on a server, somewhere) using Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive. The best solution is to do both, but it depends on how important your data is to you.
Be smart, be safe.
