Like everyone else, I try to keep up with the pace, and it is addicting. Finding easier solutions with technology to everyday problems is addicting, yet interesting. I have been a satisfied consumer ever since I signed up for Xfinity bundles, and have decided to utilize my services productively. As such, today I am sharing my tried and tested tech hacks to make your time spent at home even more amusing.
