One of its best features is the ability to take any text you throw at it and accurately determine what language it’s in, and then instantly put it into a language you can understand....

Not all ISPs offer the same kind of 5G access, so knowing how they differ is important when choosing which provider to go with....

Insert Photos and Graphics PowerPoint is well suited to the visual presentation of information. Your audience members get a different experience when they view slides summarizing key points instead of, for example, reading a white paper.

Add Animations and Transitions You can also jazz up your presentations using animations....

Keep a Facebook Time Journal Set an alarm on your smartphone or computer before you start browsing Facebook. When you’re done browsing, write down the amount of time you spent on Facebook.

According to new research by security vendor Proofpoint, macros are no longer the favorite means of distributing malware.
