It’s finally spring and that usually means spring cleaning. Most of us have already started cleaning the house and kitchen, but did you know you should also be cleaning your tech? Here’s what to clean and how to do it, and a few fun new tech ideas as a bonus!
Spring Cleaning Your Tech
Our phones, tablets and computers tend to accumulate digital garbage like our homes accumulate physical garbage. Here’s what to do to refresh the devices you have and make them feel brand-new. Make room for photos and videos by getting an app that removes duplicates from your device, helping to clean out the clutter. If you wanted to start out completely anew, you could backup your device’s memory to a computer or internet cache before deleting the files from your phone. You want to make sure you do this right and don’t lose any memories!
A fun idea is to take the best photos of the year and make an album out of them to keep.
Now that you know how to clean out your existing tech, here are some fun ideas for new tech gadgets to enhance your life.
