FTTH: Connecting You With The Ones You LoveBy GRTI Marketing Staff

Fiber and apps like Skype make it easy to connect with loved ones around the world.

Skype is an app that is used to connect people by way of video chat on phones, tablets, and computers. The app depends on a fast and reliable Internet connection to deliver high quality video and voice without interruption or buffering.

Skype is great way to communicate with loved ones across the globe. Share fun and exciting news via Skype to see the reaction and expression from the other person.

The app is also a useful tool in the workplace. Skype makes it easy to bring

all of your coworkers and team members to the table for a meeting. You can even drag-and-drop work files to transfer them to one another in a secure manner. The screen share feature allows you to share what you are doing on your screen with everyone else who is viewing the meeting.

Computer Tip: Cleaning Your ComputerCleaning your computer and components help keep everything in good working condition, helps prevent germs from spreading, and helps allow proper air flow. Dust and dirt can build up inside your computer blocking airflow and can even prevent your fan from spinning. Without proper airflow, your computer can overheat and cause severe damage.

Here are some tips to help keep your computer clean:

1. Make sure the computer or computer component is powered off before you begin cleaning.

2. Do not spray liquid onto any computer

component. If a spray is needed, spray the liquid onto a cloth.

3. Do not use a vacuum inside your computer as it generates static electricity that can damage your computer. Try using a portable battery powered vacuum or compressed air. You can use a vacuum

3. Do not use a vacuum inside your computer as it generates static electricity that can damage your computer. Try using a portable battery powered vacuum or compressed air. You can use a vacuum

to suck up dirt, dust, or hair around the computer.

4. When cleaning fans, especially smaller fans, hold the fan or place something in-between the fan blades to prevent it from spinning. Spraying compressed air into a fan or cleaning a fan with a vacuum may

cause damage or generate a back voltage.5. Some people have allergic reactions to

chemicals in cleaning solvents, and some solvents can even cause damage. Use water or a highly diluted solvent when cleaning your computer.
