  1. A) To make the text bigger you must press plus with the Control key. This is useful because many times the size of the text is too small or big.

    In google you can the definition of any word, flight tracking and unit conversation. I think that this is useful because you can find things easily.

    B) I think that the time you save is not too much. So they aren’t really useful. I think that the more useful is the one of the celphone, when you tap the Call key to call up the last number you dialed, that is useful when you are hurried. But the other ones make us slothful.

  2. a)If you are reading and you need to continue press the space bar.

    If you need to finish a sentence in your cellphone press the space bar twice.

    b)I think that you don't save very much time. You save a little time, so there aren't useful. However, at the moment they are practical. In the future thre will be lot of this, so we should be getting used to it.

  3. A)

    -In google you can put the word definition and then the one that you want to know and it just appear there without any click.

    -By double clicking the shoot button of your camera you can pre-focus, I'ts useful beacouse the camera takes the picture in the moment you click on the button without having to wait few seconds.

    B) In my opinion this are nice things to know and maybe the next time that you are in a situation were you can use this tips, they are useful. But I don't think that without knowing this you have wasted hours of your life. Anyway, this stuff shows how fast things are moving this days.

  4. You can interrupt the frakin voicemail message by pressing the carrier's interrupt key:
    I think is very useful because all the time that you waste listening that is counted by the cellphone company and then you have to pay it. Also you have listened that many times and that 20 seconds multiplied by 200 times, you lose something like 67 hours, more than 2 days in something that you don't care.

    google stunt
    It's very useful if you are hurry and you've to search something easy and quicly, so you don't have time to investigate the pages as results.

    press b to black
    i think that isn't so much useful because is your work to making the people see you when you are talking, and not to make the video/presentation more interesting than you. It's nice to know this but not such useful.

    I think that wasting time in some things like satisfaction we give to us (for example, stay in bed minutes after waking up) is good, becouse we enjoy that things. But wasting time in things that did'nt interest to us isn't good, knowing that we live only once.

  5. A) Personally, i didn't know that, by touching two times the space bar with your smartphone, you automatically put a dot and a capital letter while you are writting. And also, i didn't have idea about, by double clicking the shoot button of your camera you can prefocus, and then, you don't have to still waiting thats annoying few seconds.
    B) I personally think that, know some of this tips, is usefull but not nessesary. You can still living without knowing them and you would not be wasting your time.

  6. A) I didn't new that if you press the bottom of call in a cellphone the lust number you called appears again. Also I didn't new the way to skip the machine to leave a message. Are useful things that you can save time.

    B) I think that we live on a hurry nowadays, but if you con save time in this things may be yo can be more relax, while you are at work the trick of the space bar can be very useful or if you are on a hurry to write a text message the way to put a dot easier could help you. Although I think people should be more relax, and don't worried about everything.

    1. Ok - but my question is: is it really necessary to save a few seconds???

  7. -Using "ctrl" to make letters in web page bigger.
    I knew about it, I think it is VERY usefull because there some people that cannot
    see very well and thes key allow us to make bigger the articles and other texts. The adults
    should be very happy with that option because they are the one who have more problems
    at the moment of read at the computer.

    - Touch twice de spacebar to put a "dot"
    I didn´t know about it, but I think it is completely useless. First of all there is another key that allow us to put a "dot" and second, we are not going to die if we lose 1 second using other key, it is not a solution, it is just a bad trick.


    B) At the moment of working at the computer I think that it is important being comfortable and with tools to solve our problems easily, but I dont think that because we use a special key twice or press other key to go down in the web page we will go to our objectives more fast. If we are at the computer, we must know that we need time to think and do things well.
