"There is no opportunity for learning the basics about technology for some reason," David Pogue said.


Even if it comes to difficulties with IT, nobody tells us how to do it. This time we will tell you 10 IT techniques that are commonplace but unknown unexpectedly.


◆01: Screen scroll
Do not touch the scroll bar with the mouse to scroll down the screen. It is a waste of big time.


If you press "Space key" on the keyboard, it scrolls down one page.


You can scroll up one page by pressing "Shift key" and "Space key" at the same time.


◆02: Popup menu
It is well known that items can be moved by "Tab key" by entering the address of the website.


But are you clicking on the mouse in pop-up menu to enter state etc?


You can fix it by repeatedly entering state initials with the keyboard. For example Connecticut (CIf you state "C" twice in the state, it is OK.


Texas(TFor exas) state, enter "T" twice. You can specify the state without opening a pop-up menu.


◆03: Scale page
If you are looking at the website and the letters are too small ......


You can enlarge by holding "Ctrl key" and pressing "+". Conversely, pressing down "Ctrl key" reduces "-". It is a skill that can be applied in every browser.


◆04: Upper case input of smartphone
Inputting letters on smartphones does not require switching to symbolic input, since you type upper case letters after the period.


If you press "Space key" twice, you can automatically input it in capital letters.


It is "Space" "Space". It is wonderfully comfortable.


◆05: Redial
If you want to call a person who called before on a smartphone again, please push the call button.


Then, the phone number of the person who last dialed is automatically entered.


After that, redial OK just by pressing the call button again. There is no need to trace call history.


◆06: Answering machine
When he leaves a message on the answering machine, Mr. Poge says he can not forgive useless explanation for about 15 seconds after saying "Please message".


"I am using an answering machine for 45 years!" Is a great sword curtain (Kenshin).


Actually, there is a shortcut that can skip to the beep tone of the start of recording.


For example, AT & T can skip by pressing "#". However, the shortcut seems to be different depending on the mobile company.


◆07: Google search
In Google search, you type "define" and then type the words you want to check, the definition will be displayed automatically. However, this function is only available in English version and does not correspond to Japanese version.


If you enter the airline and flight number, the current location, gate number and terminal number of the plane will be entered automatically.


You can also convert units and currencies. You do not need to click search results.


◆08: character specification
"Let's think about specifying letters, this sentence is an example only," said Mr. POG. In the example sentence, "My lecture fee is subject to 200,000 dollars (about 20 million yen) in 3 minutes, secure on first class transfer, $ 750 for daily allowance (about 77,000 yen)" is a terribly high price The setting is written.


If you want to specify a character, double-click that character.


If you do not delete it, you can overwrite it.


Then double-click on the word and drag the mouse with the character specified, the selection range will expand on a word by word basis.


Extend the range to the end ...


If overwriting it ends rewriting. Looking at example sentences, the 3 minute lecture fee is 500 dollars (about 52,000 yen), which is cheaper than before.


Mr. POGU who overwrites again.


"Thank you for your request, where did I sign?"


◆09: Shutter opportunity
Missing a shutter opportunity with cheap digital cameras is a lot.


Let's take a case of asking you to take a definite moment of floating in the air, for example.


Squat down and ...


Dive into the air.


The photographs taken are here.


There is no choice but to look down on his face.


When shooting such a decisive moment, you should keep pressing the shutter halfway and focusing it in advance.


Then you can shoot without a time lag. There is no need to take another shot again.


◆10: Presentation technique
It is common for the audience to concentrate on the slides somehow while presenting.


"Not a person talking!" Mr. Poog of quite an over-action.


In such a case, there is a simple way to pull back attention.


If you press "B" on the keyboard, the slide will black out.


Now everyone should pay attention to themselves.


If you press "W" ...


The slides will be white out. By the way, this technique can be used with any software like PowerPoint or Keynote.


If you missed the technique, please mail me. I will give you a technology license with answers.


Mr. Poog's story is useful as a teaching material for learning the presentation technique because it not only serves as teaching IT technique unfamiliar and unfamiliar to me but also the presentation itself is full of humor and interesting contents. People who are interested also have Japanese subtitles, so we encourage you to watch the movie once.
