Summer is the usual season to take holidays or a long sought after
vacation to finally get the chance to relax and unwind. Of course, when we
pack, we pack not only the necessities but also a part of our lives, and some
of those are our gadgets. Our gadgets – usually consisting of smartphones,
laptops, or tablets – or at least just one of those will always accompany us in
our holiday travels.
Of course, since its summer, we also need to protect our devices
inside and out. Remember that this protection includes the sand and the sun and
other factors that always come with the season.
Insurance
If you have a smartphone, tablet, or laptop that has become a
vital travel companion wherever you go, insurance is a really good idea. You
can purchase insurance through any service provider or third-party sources such
as insurance agents. Most non-life insurance policies for gadgets cover a range
of eventualities including water damage and theft, and since replacing a mobile
device isn’t cheap, remember to shop around in order to get the best value
coverage that suits your needs.
Invest in a good case for all your gadgets
This and the above may sound low tech, but these “low tech” tools
are meant to protect your technology. Our devices often travel everywhere with
us and at some stage our devices can decide to slide off the table or fall from
our hands, providing a heart stopping moment. If you’re concerned about your
device being subjected to the elements, consider investing in a waterproof case.
There are plenty of sleek and protective skins on the market for every
smartphone, tablet, and even laptop, allowing you to shield your gadgets from
destruction without adding serious pressure on your wallet.
Protect your Wi-Fi use
What’s one of the first things you ask when you arrive at a hotel
or restaurant? More than likely it’s the Wi-Fi code, but rather than connecting
your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to any old Wi-Fi network, use Wi-Fi
Protected Access such as the Norton Wi-Fi Privacy app instead.
This creates an encrypted, highly secure network connection you can trust. Now
this time, this one is a tech tool.
Road trip tool
If you’re planning on a road trip for your
vacation, a reliable GPS device can ensure you won’t get lost. But if you’re
traveling through tree-lined hills, your cellular signal strength may not hold
up. The weBoost Drive 4G-X can help give travellers a stronger
signal on the road. It helps your smartphone work in even remote areas, it
helps your data work so you can send texts, and it helps your GPS system work.
For people that travel a lot or go on long road trips, it can really help you
stay safe on the road. The manufacturer says it can extend your service range
up to 60 percent farther than other boosters on the market and works on all
cellular-connected devices in your car, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
