How do you back up your digital documents?
Or do you?
I wonder who invented the day - the day before April Fools is World Backup Day?
Genius.
Try to do something today - back up your digital stuff onto the cloud, spare hard disks, online storage sites, or send them to your Gmail if you don't want to be made a fool by your computer.

No man is an island,
Entire of itself;
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less,
As well as if a promontory were:
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were.Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
- John Donne
Read the poem, slowly, twice at least.
Feeling funny, ironic, or sad? Don't be naive.
Everyone has been a lonely island, or an isle, all along.
Everyone else is the ocean, giving no shit about you. Life goes on. - Fuolao
