Why should I REBOOT my devices?
Many of us like the convenience of sitting down at a desktop or laptop computer, wiggling the mouse, and having the screen light up right away. However, even in "sleep" mode that device is using power and costing you money. Additionally, back-ground processes and residual code from programs that do not truly close all the way builds up over time. Restarting the device ends every process and program completely. Once that restart is complete your computer should work better and faster. SMART PRO TIP - restart all your devices that are basically computers too for more efficient operation. That includes smartphones, modems, routers, tablets, DVR's, etc. If something has the capability to be turned off all the way it makes sense to occasionally shut it down.
