I have been hard at work coming up with a lot of new services to educate and improve your life with modern technology. You can do a lot of great things with your phones and other devices.You spend A LOT of money on this stuff and I want to help you get the most out of these products. I want to help make things simple and easy to understand.

This is pretty simple. Most people rely on their phones these days. Accidents happen. Make sure you have a back up phone. You want to have something that is somewhat current and familiar. I’ve seen all sorts of people panicked about being able to get in touch with family members and friends. Unless you can get some serious cash for your phone when you upgrade to a new one, I highly recommend saving your old phone if it is still working alright.

Picture instructions to come!

It’s that time of the year again. Every year, in addition to a new iPhone, Apple releases a new Operating System (OS). People always dread software updates because everyone hates change. Software updates aren’t going anywhere, so its best to try to adapt and make the most of them. Ultimately software updates are designed to improve current functions and add new and exciting features.

Membership provides more detailed information and explanations about the newest software updates!

I’m always coming across people that struggle with managing their music. It’s easy to accidentally lose all your music when you switch phones. It’s also easy to use all up all your data when you’re streaming with internet radio apps like pandora. Spotify allows you to save music to your phone so you don’t have to stream it which drains your data and battery. There is no waiting for buffering because all the music lives on your phone. Playlists can be shared between all of your devices that have the Spotify application. These can include iPhones and iPads, Android phones and tablets like Samsung and LG, as well as windows and apple computers. Ideally all of your music can follow you from device to device without having to do any plugging in or connecting or any other tedious tasks

This weeks app is Google Keep. It’s great for making notes,lists and voice notes. Collaborative notes/lists allow you to share grocery lists or maybe to-do lists between multiple people with a gmail account. Categorized lists with different colors and tiles makes sorting notes easy!
