On 11 March 2009 with 10 comments

It seems as though we are now on part 4 of this series. Today I will be covering a couple things that you could use your computer for. So this part will be a short article. Run through this checklist and see if you fully utilise your computer on a daily/weekly basis:

• Web browsing
• Social networking
• Email (client)
• Music player
• Video/movie player
• Text editing (a biggie!)
• Document editing (different from text editing, this includes formatting)
• Desktop publishing tools
• Animation tools
• Graphic design tools
• Sound editing tools
• Instant messaging and chatting
• Diagram / scientific model editing.
• Games
• VoIP (with or without webcam use)
• Revision tools
• CD burning
• File transfer protocols (eg: SSH or FTP)
• Webservers (or mailservers)
• Web radio server
• MOCAP
• DJ-ing
• eBooks and related media.
• Video editing
• Programming
• Robotics
• Recording (sound)
• PIM management
• Databases
• Specialised document editing (eg: LaTeX, markup languages, music notation)
• E-Commerce
• Hacking (as in, illegal activity)
• Finances
• Scientific use / data measurement / simulations
• Operating system tweaking
• Security systems
• Filesharing (mass downloading, torrenting, etc)
• Stock markets
• GPS/maps/navigation
• Paperweight
• Peripheral management (eg: interacting with phones/scanners/printers/cameras)

So, how many did you get out of 41? My personal score is 26.
