  2. My top five favorite tech tips are that if you have many windows, your computer will go slower, if you bang on the keyboard, the computer will break, computers are expensive, treat them well, computer games can be fun, and, this one's probably the most important, MINECRAFT OWNS ALL OTHER GAMES!

  3. 1) control, shift, 4 gets a screenshot
    2) If you double click the home button on the ipad you get all the recent apps you've been on
    3) if you hold down an app you can move it
    4) You can make files on the ipad
    5) if you put both fingers on the touch pad, you can scroll up and down

  4. O.K. I'll change three tips that aren't that good. Keep the wires in order, as in don't get them tangled, when pop up ads that say you win a million dollars etc., don't click it, and always log out of your email when you're done

    1. Hi Eamon,

  5. 1. One my favorite tech tips is control click , which is really like if you accidentally spell a word wrong, you go control click, it will pop up dictionary. I love it! I am bad at spelling, so it is perfect!
    2. Command Z. It undos something you did! If you accidentally erase something, Command Z saves you!
    3. Command V. It pastes what you copied. (Command C) You do not have to retype everything! But don't copy and paste something that wasn't your own words unless you are like, The AZ News says,"...copy and paste.."
    4. On the iPods, iPhones, iPads, etc... if you hold on to a app, it will start vibrating. You can move your apps around! Customize!
    5. Temple Run. On the tree that the trunk is on one side, and it doesn't go all the way across, you can just lean to the side that doesn't go all the way across and you will pass through with ease!

  9. 1. Command Z, the undo. You make a whole lot of mistakes.
    2. If you type "define" on google, then a word you want to define right after it, you can define it. Use this power wisely.
    3. Tab will switch the object you are on. Like in, if you were typing a comment, and you press tab, it will go to the "Comment as:" section.
    4. If you want to select an object such as a button, press enter. For a list, use the up and down keys to scroll.
    5. Everyone knows that F10, F11, and F12 control volume in their regular state, but you may not have known F1 and F2 control brightness, F3 shows you all opened windows, and F4 opens the dashboard.
