How To Save Money and Space with Technology

have limited space working with a
restricted budget this is a concern for
a lot of people including students hi
I’m special agent Nicholas connects eggs
from best buy’s geek squad and welcome
to watchmojo.com today we’ll be talking
about some tips and tricks on how to
save money and how to maximize your
space for your apartment or your dorm
tip 1 one of the things you want to do
is limit the number of wires and limit
the number of adapters so using wireless
keyboards mice earpieces even joysticks
and gamepads the ideal solution is to
find something that’s bluetooth the
reason why is you can have one adapter
that will work for everything and the
likelihood of you having one thing
conflict with another is limited having
everything wireless will allow you to
put it away once you’re done with it so
it saves the space you can use your desk
for actual desk work and not only that
all of those wires prevent clutter
tripping over and actually breaking
items so wireless provides you with a
lot of benefits another tip would be to
consider getting a TV tuner hard for
your computer they exist from both
desktops and laptops the advantage of
this is you don’t need a separate box to
watch TV it allows you to watch record
even pause live TV some of these also
have the ability to listen to the radio
so you don’t even need a separate radio
just a good pair of speakers on your TV
and there you go you have your home
entertainment system a couple of the
tips that might be interesting is to
protect your investment everything from
a basic alarm using your webcam wall
mounting your TV making it save space
but also making it much more difficult
to steal using locks for both your
desktops and your laptops one of the
other things that you can do to save
money and also save space is you use
something called or technology called
tethering what that basically means is
taking your internet connection that
you’re using already on your blackberry
or your iPhone and connecting it to your
computer either your laptop or your
desktop for internet access now it’s not
going to be as fast but it will provide
you with a decent connection and you
don’t need to spend extra money monthly
someone who’s doing a lot of downloading
I was doing a lot of video streaming
those kinds of usage may not be ideal
for tethering because you’re going to
easily surpass your monthly plan
and it’s going to end up costing more
expensive than getting a separate
internet connection what happens if you
have multiple devices there are special
routers that exist some call it a travel
router others call it a 3g router
whatever it is whatever it’s called at
the end of the day you’re plugging your
phone or your high-speed USB dongle to
it and it’s the one that provides the
internet access to the rest wirelessly
