Tech time savers

Cape Town - Check out these technology time savers.

High-speed and Wireless internet

You might think this is an obvious one, but many of us still waste our time waiting on pages to load and files to download. Make sure you have the fastest internet connection available out there. It’s a competitive market which means if you spend a little time hunting you are sure to find a package that will fit into your budget.

The DStv Explora

I am definitely not here to try and talk you out of watching TV, but more than likely a third of your couch-chilling time is currently spent watching adverts. The DStv Explora is the latest in the PVR decoder line and allows you to enjoy the telly on your terms. Fast forward through those ads and watch Grey’s Anatomy after your spinning class. Plus it gives you 220 hours of your own personal recordings.

Get smart with your phone

By now we all own a smartphone, right? If you don’t yet, there are no excuses they start from R999! Your phone is the single most important device you carry around with you, it's your wallet (banking apps), alarm clock, memo pad (Evernote), e-mail reader, entertainment system for your kids on a trip, the list is endless, honestly check the app stores filled with free and cheap time saving apps. Hooking yourself up with the right phone (and app suite) that compliments your lifestyle is a no-brainer.
 
Online banking

Online banking rocks! Gone are the days queuing and hunting for a pen and the right coloured slip. It’s super easy, fast, secure and convenient. The fees that are charged are lower than going in to a regular bank plus you get much better record keeping so that it will be easier for you to manage your own finances.

Navigation

Okay so this one is a two for one special. Sanity-and Time Saver. Hours can be wasted looking for a place on a map or actually getting lost in the suburb right next to it. There a many map-free navigation and location products and services out there. A portable device like the TomTom GPS device, Google Maps on your smartphone or built in to your car’s system.
