Teens are gadget-savvy because they have time to explore their gear without reading manuals. We asked them to share their top tips:
Say no to junk Minimise the spam you receive by using more than one e-mail address. ''I have an address for stuff I sign up to on the internet and one that I use properly,'' says Harry Browne, 15.
Clean up images ''My parents assume their camera's auto mode is all they need,'' says Rebecca Goldstein, 18. Instead, she advises using ''fill flash'' (activated via the lightning bolt button). This helps balance the amount of light when the subject is backlit or the contrast is too low or high.
Crush, then send Many adults e-mail photos without shrinking the resolution down to 72dpi (dots per inch), says Kate McCormack, 16. That's why a photo file can take forever to send. Make sure each attached file is 100kb or smaller.
Protect your phone ''Teenagers are always losing mobiles,'' says Natalie Sivolella, 16. ''Make a note of your phone's IMEI number.'' You can usually obtain this 15-digit code by typing *#06# into your phone. Quote it to your network to render the phone useless, even if the sim card is changed.
