How to completely remove traces from your computer?

You might have done things that you think that are private and confidential  on your computer and majority of people think that once it is done is done but it is completely not true. The tasks you carry out  are stored on a temporary memory or on a ram or somewhere on your hard disk. Your browsing history, Played movies, Open applications, deleted fotos are stored for a temporary use on some location. By knowing this you probably might want some hardcore privacy , In this tutorial ill be teaching you some privacy stuffs and get work done without leaving any traces on your computer. Just follow through the rest of the process below.

1. Clean up browsing history: Every website you visit are recorded by your web browser,  It is necessary that you clean   up browsing history to remain least anonymous . You can also use Private browsing feature available in safari , Private browsing does not records any history and cookies from visited websites also you can disable syncing on google chrome to prevent it from tracking you.

2. Clear recent items: To remain untracked you can clear recent items on windows to clear it press "windows +R" then type "recent" without quotes these items are the items that you are using recently, delete all those item of course to remove tracking and also to free up some memory on your computer.

3. Use third party apps : It is ideal that you use third party apps like Ccleaner its my personal best and most recommended that you use it and of course it is completely free , Also you can use softwares like tuneup utilities to clean files and remove up traces. These softwares can delete browsing history of all web browsers, Cookies, Temporary files even used by third party apps like Vlc, Skype and lot more.

4. Formatting:  You might be thinking that formatting a pendrive might permanently delete  the data stored on it then  you are on hugely misguided , actually you can use softwares like recuva to recover your data even from completely formatted pendrive. So when you format a pendrive format your pendrive make sure that you format pendrive not faster but n higher level of security , this feature is available on macosx (industry standard security) but you can use third party softwares on windows like ccleaner.

Note: Privacy apps and security helps you not to get tracked  however nothing is perfect, it depends on a person that how much he cares for his  privacy.

Limited internet rooms on the earth ?

Just as every phone and mobile devices on the earth have a unique name , every devices that connects to the internet gets a unique name , the unique number assigned to an unique device is known as ip address.
http://topics.time.com/internet/pictures/

It seems that we are having a problem , In today's world we use ipv4 protocol (internet addressing system to access over the internet) the main problem is that the current protocol  can only handle over 4 billion devices but the users using internet is exceeding over 4 billion. So what now ? None of your worries. The ip address is shared between two devices.

The ipv4 has only room for 4 billion people , which is not nearly enough for the worlds people, Recently and in the future devices using internet like cars, refrigerator, mobile phones , glasses , pcs, laptops, watches, tvs and so on. more than 4 billion devices on earth are already sharing address as ipv4 runs out of free addresses , (unique ip address ) everyone need to share.

We are out of space and we are in need of more space, the big question is how much ? well it might me in form of trillions yeah that what it is being introduced today (june 6). ipv6 ( its a new protocol introduced today for the world)  has a lot of features but making over , recreating , renovating the web certainly needs a time but google says that the " the transformation has begun  but this day marks the start of a coordinated rollout by major websites and Internet service and equipment providers.

The good news is that you dont need to to prepare  for  this situation. I f you really want to know more on this hot topic  then click here to read more.
