Gigglebit: What type of protection do I need? (infographic)

15 Sep 2014

Gigglebit is Siliconrepublic’s daily dose of the funny and fantastic in science and tech, to help start your day on a lighter note.

Like any sector, technology has a serious side, and it is often issues within this serious side that make headlines or that organisations need to explore for their business. Malware! Data breaches! Cloud storage! Do I really need this software? What candidate has the best IT skills for this job, and what the heck is fog computing?

With Gigglebit, we turn the spotlight on humorous and/or amazing content about science and tech, because sometimes the lighter side should be taken seriously, too.

Today, a cheeky flowchart published on Visual.ly helps residents figure out the best type of protection – be it a home security system or something less tech, such as a dog or er, goat – for their dwelling, based on where they live.
