If you haven't already discovered all the wonderful things that Google can do for you, here's one that may interest you and come in handy some day - Google will translate for you, from another language to English or from English to another language.
Whether you have a simple word or phrase, or a long and winded document, Google will do the job. The list of languages available is significant, from Arabic to Italian to Zulu and many, many more.
There are different ways to approach a translation. If you have a word or phrase or sentence , just enter it into the Google search box as follows: translate to French I am six feet tall. In milliseconds, Google will translate it for you. If the sentence is in another language, enter it into the search box and add "translate to English".
If the item to be translated is longer, click the dotted box in the upper right corner of the Google page to find the "Translate" app. Click it. Enter the text to be translated, select the language, and click "translate".
Google never ceases to amaze. And taking advantage of what it offers can help us to get smarter.

TAKING NOTES WITH LAPTOP MAY HURT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, STUDY SAYS
In a 2014 study, researchers found that the use of laptops to take notes may be “harming academic performance.”
According to the psychologists who conducted the study, college students who had written their notes in longhand were more successful in answering conceptual questions about the material than students who had taken their notes with a laptop.
According to the study’s authors, Pam A. Mueller of Princeton and Daniel M. Oppenheimer of UCLA, using a laptop to take notes “results in shallower processing”.
The research was published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association of Psychological Science.
