Introduction
A smart device is one that has a processor and a built-in program (or operating system). Examples like a smartphone, iPad or tablet, laptop and desktop computers, etc.
All these smart devices normally have four discrete sections. They are (1) the User Interface, (2) the Application programs, (3) the operating systems and (4) the associated hardwares.
Each Section has its own requirements in order the smart device can or will operate effectively through proper use and housekeeping.
Generally, it is along the following considerations:
1) User need to keep up (Lifelong Learning) with the technology (changes) of the smart devices
2) Get the right Application Program for the right job
3) Always Update the Operating System when recommended
4) The more powerful is the smart device, the more heat is generated. Heat is the enemy of the electronic components used to assemble the smart device. So heat management is very critical. Ensure the heat ventilation openings are not blocked and place the smart device (desktop computer) in a well ventilated location.
