Bio: Edward Burton has always been the "Tech Guy" in his family and workplace: any and all questions related to technology come to him. Over the past 10 years some folks have learned to become self sufficient, but others need constant support. But, that's technology, it needs love and support to be the most successful. Edward is currently working toward a masters degree at the University of Colorado Denver in Information and Learning Technologies. This brings him to this proposal: his hope is to share with others the notion that technology, with a little work, WILL make your life easier.
