In my answer I, as usual, don’t just quickly answer Edy’s specific question but give you a complete audio lesson that helps you understand some of the basic differences between a few of the broadband options, and how they contrast in speed to dialup (which may be the only option in many rural areas).

This latest Plain English computer question and answer (audio lesson below) comes from subscriber Brenda Carr who writes asking:

About a day ago, former actor in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Roots, Levar Burton accidentally sent out his personal cell phone number to over 1.6 MILLION people who “follow” him on Twitter.  Having well over a million and a half people who directly are following and reading what he says via Twitter was only the tip of the iceberg, since everything said publicly on any social networking site such as Twitter or Facebook is “indexed” by the search engine and can appear in the search results within moments.
