Geek Speak / Can people work out where photo's are taken if taken by 'smartphones'?
« on: 03/05/2014 07:29:46 »
I am SO computer illiterate & my brain just fuses at the word COMPUTER.
I've heard that smartphones identify photo's by time & place. Is that true? Is that able to be accessed by people online & if my phone is old & delightfully stupid, ie not smart, does that mean it can't kiss & tell, because it's just happy to be on an outing?
Sorry, for sad humour attempt, but I really need BASIC, non technical reply. I'd like to understand the technicalities, but I know I won't.
Also, I want to get a website? for keeping people up on animal rescues (esp not having to retell stories), AND I am also a bit worried about my health. I have a lot of animals & want to try to find more people who treat their animals as I do, so that worst case scenario, I can find homes that won't eat my sheep, etc., if I'm on the way out. I'd like to start now, & have time to feel I can trust people, but HOW do you pick who to go with, that 'hosts?' your site? I'm told there are free sites, but that some people end up having problems with them.
What sort of questions should I ask, what answers do I want? Who do I avoid? Any warnings you can share? Happy to have you PM me.
I am such a technophobe I only use my old simple phone for photo's. I don't think I've ever made a call on a mobile phone without someone dialling for me - which is fair enough, because I would be borrowing the use of it for an emergency call, as mine has never been connected. I have a very basic laptop & have no idea how to even upload? a photo, & to be truthful, I think the plug in bit you need to do it was lost YEARS ago. I had the phone YEARS before the computer, tho probably 15ish years after most people bought first mobiles.
I explain this so you know to use 1 syllable words & type VERY slowly, for me...
