What is a Macro again?

Don’t feel bad, you are not the first to ask that question and definitely won’t be the last. The GOOGLE definition of macro is a single computer instruction that results in a series of instructions in machine language. That’s all well and good, but how exactly does that help us here at everythingWM?

Have you ever wished that there was a way to turn your phone’s location based GPS service on and off with a single button press as opposed to having to go through a couple of different screens to accomplish the same thing?
