Must Have Tech

Gah, it is that time of the year again. The kids are going back to school and lots of gadgets are on sale. One of the tech for college and high school student that is popular this year is the tablet. It is portable and can store things like books which can be annotated with certain mobile applications. If you are going to use a tablet, you should also consider having a case that has a keyboard. If you are someone that tends to type a lot, it might go a lot faster with a keyboard than the virtual keyboard on the screen. You can also use VoIP services on it to telecommute so that a day of classes is never missed. Another great gadget is a case with an extra battery or a portable charger. It is quite hard to go a full day without charging your phone at least once and an outlet is not always nearby. Lastly, it you are working online most of the time, which you probably are, it would be wise to have an antivirus program. There is nothing like having your day ruined by a virus that destroys your hard drive and all that hard work. But, if you are a student that it in the loop, you might have your stuff backed up on the cloud which will save you some headaches but not the money spent on the brand new laptop or tablet.

  3. Sometimes notecards work a lot better than mobile applications. There is nothing like the feeling of ripping up a card when you are done with the list.
