ctrl + geek power (1)
22 March 2010 by Administrator
If you could have one computer function in your daily life what would it be and how would you use it? A 'geek power' if you like.
Below are some of the publishable answers from the meedja team. For some it really was a stressful decision...
Lachlann
"Mine would be CTRL + and CTRL - (zoom in and zoom out). That would be pretty great especially zoom out I would never get lost again also i could make lots of references to my ability to see the big picture."
Kenny
"Mine would be CTRL ALT Delete / Task Manager - so that I could figure out what exactly was taking up all my memory and making me soooo slow sometimes."
Ross
"I'd have a maximise function to make myself taller :( "
Vickie
"I'd be CTRL N so I can always start afresh"
Jon
"I'd like to be able to run update so I can always have the most up to date software. That will allow me to do new tasks and old things quicker"
Sara
"Final Answer? I'm gonna go with Ctrl + S (Save) and an awesome archive system so I could just look up something I've done, said, read or watched from my brain and reopen it. It'd be good for when you see things and you don't have a camera, you could just save it for consideration later. Or, even better, you could go back and revisit countries, gigs, people and even keep a file of everyone's face so you never have that awkward thing when someone starts talking to you and you've not a scooby who they are. It would work for everything really"
Darren
"Mine would have to be good ol' Ctrl + C then Ctrl + V (Copy & and Paste) . That way I could replicate anything I wanted instantly. Example: a £50 Note. I'd be rich in no time at all :) "
And well Brian got a little too involved in the poll...
"I'd like the F1 key, so I could always ask for help, in any situation / scenario. I would also quite like the F5 key - for an instant refresh - no more showers - ever! Ok I'll go for the F5 key but here is my list of other possibilities: undo, copy & paste, de-bug (ouch), virus protection, memory upgrade, transform tool, duplicate and task manager - for processes.. oh and pause"
