New Technology Hacks and Tips

Did you know that there are life hacks and techniques that are available to make for you a simple day?

Try this

1. Keyboard shortcuts

This may not be the newest technology, but why not take advantage of keyboard shortcuts that are available to you? Besides the use of your mouse on your keyboard did you know that you can use Your Ctrl+A to Select All before copying a document, Ctrl+C to copy a document, and Ctrl+V to paste? This is a shortcut option.

2. Clutter

Just as clutter can develop in your house clutter can also develop in your email. Do you clean the clutter from your email? Do you delete and block spam? Spam can clutter your email very quickly. You might want to make it a habit to clean your email daily. I have been guilty of just scanning my email and saying to myself, “I will get to that later.” The problem with that is that it can build up faster than I get back to it. Have you ever had that problem?

3. Public Wifi

Although public WiFi is nice, you want to be cautious. You never know the listening ears that may be listening and attempting to steal your information. Yes it is common now to see those walking down the street or sitting in a restaurant or cafe constantly using their cellphones, but still there needs to be an awareness of your surrounding.

4. Removing Data from Electronics Before Recycling

Do you know how to remove data from Electronics before recycling? Earth911.com suggests that you backup your data, then download a program like Darik’s Boot and Nuke (DBAN) or KillDisk and then burn it to a CD or DVD, once CD or DVD is made boot your computer from the disc, to erase from a cellphone the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) suggest deleting all information and following the manufacturer’s instructions for doing a factory hard reset, and then remove your phone’s SIM (Subscriber Identify Module) and cut it in half.

5. Free Services

Did you know there are several free services available to you on the Internet? These services include free education sites, free trial memberships such as Netflix and Hello Fresh, free music services, free entertainment and tutorials, free podcasts, free ebooks, and much more. I really like the youtube tutorials. They actually show you step by step.

Sometimes when you are attempting to put a product together even though you have written instructions you may discover one little thing that you missed and after watching a tutorial you may be able to see that and correct it.

6. ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder)

Are you an adult that suffers with Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder? Did you know there are apps that can help you with that? Some of the best apps for that according to gentitemlist.app include Bear, Best Day Planner Apps, Best Habit Tracker App, Best Focus Timer Apps, and much more.

7. iPhone Tips

Several iphone apps that you may have been missing might include using you iPhone as a recording device, sign documents, turn your phone into a high-tech medical ID bracelet, use your iPhone to help you remember things, and much more, RD.com talks about this and give 64 suggestions.

8. Apps that drain your iPhone battery

Did you know there are apps that will drain your iphone battery? I discovered that Facebook was one of them. Although I am not on Facebook often, I discovered that it can and does drain my iPhone battery. So my remedy is to logoff Facebook when I am not using it. It saves my battery life tremendously. There are also gaming apps that will drain your battery and cause your iPhone battery to become extremely hot. You need to beware of those. Also if you have an app on your phone and your no longer using it, you might want to delete it.

9. Portable Mini-Fan

A great investment that I really like was the portable Mini-Fan. Although it is very small, I was amazed at the power of this fan to keep me cool when needed. I purchased at Amazon and it has a USB cord for recharging when needed.  My price was only $17.00 at Amazon.

10. Calendars

This may not be the latest in technology, but did you know you could use your Smartphone calendar? A physical paper calendar is great but so is a Smartphone Calendar, especially when you are out and may need to write down an appointment. I use both. A physical calendar gives you a daily visual and your Smartphone is great to view when you are not at home.

11. Remote Learning

All students are getting used to this new norm of remote learning. Makeuseof.com/technology further states that with remote learning you can learn anytime, anywhere, there are no age barriers, it is limitless and self-directed learning, there is flexibility and mobility, and there is education for disabled people.

Since the Pandemic I believe remote learning has become more popular even though remote learning is not for everyone. Many of those in college have elected to take remote classes as well.

12. Instant DO NOT CALL

Even though you are on the DO NOT CALL list do you still receive numerous telemarketer calls? Remove and replace.com suggests that when a telemarketer calls you just simply pressing the 9 button on your phone while you are talking with the telemarketer it will automatically disconnect the call and add your phone to their internal do not call list. They further added that this is a new feature that helps you combat those telemarketing calls that somehow keep calling you. They do, however, suggest not to engage with Robocalls, because pressing any buttons can sometimes confirm that your number is active, thus, leading to even more calls.
