4 Software Programs I Use Most Often
1. Firefox
I use Firefox more than any other browser. I use it for everything including school. Sometimes I use IE on my laptop, but mostly Firefox. I use Firefox on my phone as well.
2. Microsoft Word
I use Microsoft Word for a lot of projects and papers for various classes. I am able to create almost anything I need using Word or one of the other Microsoft Office programs.
3. Facebook app
I rarely use Facebook on my laptop, so I am always using it on my phone. It allows me to check my news feed, manage my pages, and talk to my friends. I use it mostly to communicate with people who follow my daughter. She has a rare terminal medical condition, and many people follow her story.
4. Yahoo! mail app
I use yahoo mail more than any other email program. I check my yahoo mail almost exclusively on my phone. I have a GMail, which is my joint account with my husband and COCC account, for school, but my yahoo is my personal email I have had for years. I use the app to check all of my emails,usually about 30 each day. Most of it is junk, but I love coupons!
