Need some good technology tools? This podcast is a great one for suggestions you can really use.

Very often we spend hours when a simple command will help us overcome the technology hurtle! For example, when you search online you often use keywords. While that is great, once you land on a specific website you may want to search for your set of keywords as well. You can use the Ctrl (or command on a Mac) F on a website as well as within a document. Here are a few of the tips from Meryl.

1. Ctrl (or Command on a Mac) F – lets you search within a document or website

    Shift Ctrl T – brings back the last tab you closed! Isn’t that wonderful?
