Microsoft to launch iTunes style video store

Microsoft have announced plans to launch a Zune video and music store to compete with iTunes. The store, which is due "within weeks" according to Microsoft, will also feature a subscription service for Xbox 360, Windows PCs and Windows Phone 7.

The subscription fee for a "Zune Pass" will be $14.99 per month for unlimited downloads and streaming. Craig Eisler, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business Group, said of the launch:

The integration between Zune, Windows Phone 7 and Xbox Live is an exciting advance in our entertainment offering. Zune enables users access to the entertainment they want, wherever they want it - and now, more people than ever will be able to enjoy the freedom and flexibility that the Zune service offers.

Zune has been upgraded with new features and functionality and will serve as the Windows Phone 7 synchronization client. Microsoft say the new software (version 4.7) will be available to download for free in more than 20 countries, including the U.K., France, Italy, Germany and Spain, to allow management of movies, music, podcasts and photos.

What is Android?

Android is an operating system for mobile phones and tablets, in much the same way that PCs run Microsoft Windows as their operating system. It's maintained by Google, and comes in a few different versions, which are;

Version	Code name	Release date	API level	Distribution (December 3, 2012)
4.2	Jelly Bean	November 13, 2012	17	0.8%
4.1.x	Jelly Bean	July 9, 2012	16	5.9%
4.0.x	Ice Cream Sandwich	December 16, 2011	15	27.5%
3.2	Honeycomb	July 15, 2011	13	1.2%
3.1	Honeycomb	May 10, 2011	12	0.4%
2.3–2.3.2	Gingerbread	December 6, 2010	9	0.2%
2.3.3–2.3.7	Gingerbread	February 9, 2011	10	50.6%
2.2	Froyo	May 20, 2010	8	10.3%
2.0–2.1	Eclair	October 26, 2009	7	2.7%
1.6	Donut	September 15, 2009	4	0.3%
1.5	Cupcake	April 30, 2009	3	0.1%

The difference between the versions of Android is mainly in how they use the screen space provided.for example because Android 3.x is designed to run on tablets, its apps have been altered to be able to fit more information on the screen at one time. It also puts all buttons for navigation in the interface, while Android 2.x devices tend to include some physical buttons (usually Home, Back, Menu and Search keys).
Android's standard layout is to have a series of Home screens, which can contain shortcuts to launch apps, or can contain widgets, which are small programs that serve a single function, such as controlling your music or displaying Facebook updates.

ANDROID 2.3: This is the standard Android 2.3 Home screen, as seen on the Google Nexus S
From the Home screens, you can bring up a menu with all of your other apps on. Very little is done from within the Android interface, but instead you launch an app for what you want to do, including dialling the phone or browsing through your contacts.
Android itself contains the functions that are vital to using a mobile phone, including the phone dialler, text messaging client and phone number storage. Google also provides some additional apps, including a Gmail email client, Google Maps (which features free turn-by-turn satellite navigation) and YouTube.
Beyond that, you can also buy or download for free many other apps to enable your phone or tablet to do more. You can get these apps from the Android Market, or from other sources, such as GetJar or Amazon's Appstore. They can also be loaded onto an Android device manually, without using a store.
These apps can include ways to use Facebook, create documents, access online storage services such as Dropbox, or there's a huge range of games available. Some social networks are integrated into certain Android phones by default, enabling you to connect someone's contact information in your phone to their Facebook account, for example, and automatically pull through details such as their birthday.
Android is open source, meaning that manufacturers don't have to pay Google to use it, and that they're free to modify it. This means that it's used in a wide range of hardware varying in price from small budget phones to large-screen high-end handsets.
Because manufacturers are able to tweak Android, it can look quite different on phones from different companies. HTC uses an overlay it calls Sense to add its own apps and social networking features to phones such as the HTC Desire S. It even adds a flashy 3D Home screen on the powerful HTC Sensation handset.

HTC SENSE:HTC makes subtle changes to the standard Android interface
Samsung uses an overlay called TouchWiz on its handsets, such as the Samsung Galaxy S2, which makes its Android phones look a lot more like the company's non-Android phones.

SAMSUNG TOUCHWIZ:The Samsung Galaxy S2 runs TouchWiz 4.0, the latest version of Samsung's interface
Currently, it's not possible for Android 3.0 tablets to be tweaked by the manufacturers, so tablets such as the Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 look almost identical. HTC actually uses Android 2.3 on the HTC Flyer tablet so that it can still add the Sense overlay to it.

ANDROID 3.0:The Android Home screen on tablets offers more space for widgets and apps, and has the navigation keys in the bottom-left
Android has many media features built in, so it's easy to load your music and movies onto your device and play them without problems. Most common audio file formats are supported, as are some of the most often-used video formats. Many manufacturers also add support for some of the less-common formats.
There's no official iTunes-like media syncing client for Android (though there are some third-party tools to do this, such as doubleTwist). In most cases, when you connect your device to your computer, it will show up as external storage, in the same way a USB flash drive would. You can then simply drag your music and video files to it to copy them over. When you disconnect your device, it will scan for media, and it to the music player app.
Google regularly releases updates to Android, which are downloaded straight to the phone or tablet without having to connect to a computer. These updates often bring speed and battery life improvement, as well as other new features. However, not all devices get these updates at the same time, and many won't receive them at all.

iPhone or Android? 6 questions to ask yourself before deciding

Not sure whether to spring for an iPhone or go the Android way? Well, there’s more to the decision than just flipping a coin.

My advice? Don’t pick a new iPhone or Android smartphone until you answer six crucial questions for yourself, starting with…

1. Do smartphones scare you?

When you fiddle with the latest and greatest phones at your local carrier store, do you feel like a deer in the headlights?

When you fiddle with the latest and greatest phones at your local carrier store, do you feel like a deer in the headlights?

Afraid you’ll break something if you tap one of the little icons on the screen?
If so, think twice about Android. Personally, I’m a sucker for all the settings and personalization options on an Android phone, but the thicket of menus and sub-menus may feel bewildering for beginners, or anyone easily frustrated by tricky phone interfaces.
The iPhone, on the other hand, boasts (if you ask me) a clean, simple interface that’s perfect for smartphone novices, while also jettisoning the extra “menu” and “back” buttons that make navigating the standard Android interface such a chore.

2. Do you want a physical QWERTY keypad?

Tapping out lengthy messages on a virtual keypad can be royal pain if you have clumsy fingers, and even those with nimble fingertips may prefer the feel of actual keys to a slippery glass touchscreen.
So if a physical QWERTY keypad is a must, go with Android. Several makes and models of Android phones with roomy, full-on keypads are available. In some cases, the keyboards slide out from behind the touchscreen (like so), while others sit on the front of the phone, just beneath the display.
Apple, on the other hand, shows no signs of making an iPhone with a physical keypad—and while it is possible to connect a wireless Bluetooth keyboard to, say, the iPhone 4S, you’d also have to tote the keyboard accessory wherever you go.

3. Do you depend on Gmail and Google Calendar?

One of the beauties of Android is that the initial setup process is a piece of cake—for Google users, anyway.

If you have a Google account, you can take your new Android phone out of its box, power it up, sign in with your Google ID and password, and presto! All your Gmail messages, mailboxes, Google contacts and calendars will start syncing to your handset automatically. It’s a beautiful thing.
Dedicated Google users who go with the iPhone won’t have too tough a time setting up their Gmail or calendars; dealing with Google contacts is another story, however. A secondary service called Google Sync will help keep all your Google contacts synchronized with the iPhone Address Book, but setting it up is a rather lengthy, tedious process.

4. Do you use a Mac?

Just as Gmail and Google Calendar users will have an easy transition to an Android phone, so will Mac users glide right into an iPhone—particularly if you’re storing your contacts in the Mac OS X Address Book and using iCal for your calendars.
The desktop iTunes software will quickly sync all your Address Book contacts and iCal calendars to a new iPhone (along with all your apps and music, of course), while Apple’s new iCloud service (coupled with iOS 5, the latest version of the iPhone system software) will coordinate all your desktop and iPhone contacts and events wirelessly, no cords required.

5. Want to play Flash videos?

Ever visit a website on a smartphone, only to see a blank panel on the page that reads “Adobe Flash plug-in required”?
That’s because some of the snazziest sites on the web depend on a technology called “Flash” for displaying videos and fancy graphical menus—and without Flash, those sites won’t function properly.
The latest Android phones do support Flash content, meaning just about any site on the web should render properly—and completely.
That’s not the case with the iPhone, though. Indeed, Apple has been openly critical about Flash technology (the late Steve Jobs once called it a battery hog, a slow-poke, and a security concern) and has essentially declared both the iPhone and iPad to be Flash-free zones.
Keep in mind, however, that more and more Flash-heavy websites offer alternate versions tailored for non-Flash smartphones like the iPhone—a development that may eventually render mobile Flash support a moot point.

6. Are you an app addict?

While Android boasts one of the liveliest communities of app makers around, Apple’s App Store is the undisputed king of mobile applications. Its shelves are stocked with 500,000 apps and counting (compared to a still quite healthy 350,000 or so for Google’s Android Market), and the most interesting and exciting applications and tend to be built for the iPhone first.
Angry Birds, for example, didn’t land on Android until nearly a year after debuting on the iPhone, while Android users had to wait nearly a year and a half for their own version of the wildly popular Instagram.
Still debating whether to go with Android or the iPhone? Let me know!

iPhone 5 review

Rated 4.0/5

 

Points For

• Great design
• Larger screen
• Quality camera

Points Against

• High price
• Poor maps
• Ageing OS

The new iPhone is here – but is Apple in danger of delivering too little with its latest upgrade?

The excitement of the rumour mill, the titillation of every leaked photo led to higher than ever levels of expectation over the iPhone 5 features, and while the announcement was greeted with some derision at the lack of perceived headline improvements, the record sales tell an entirely different story.
Given the underwhelming changes to the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 5 launch really needs to re-energise customers to prove Apple can repeat the game-changing trick it managed with the iPhone 4.
The iPhone 5 price is predictably high, so consumers will need to bear that in mind too when looking for their next smartphone.
So is the Apple iPhone 5 the greatest smartphone ever, and did it finally see Apple ascend to the top spot in our 20 best mobile phones chart? Or was it a case of too little, too late... and what about those darned Maps, eh?

Design

We'll begin in the traditional manner: how the thing actually feels in the hand. With the iPhone 5 there will be many types of prospective buyer: the upgrader from the 4 (or more-money-than-sense iPhone 4S upgraders), those tired of their Android handset and those taking their first steps in the smartphone market and want to get one of them iThingies their friend/child has.

Well, all of those picking up the iPhone 5 will have the same reaction: this thing is amazingly light. You've probably heard the numbers by now (20 per cent lighter than the predecessor, as well as beating most of the opposition too at 112g.)
It's an odd sensation, but it actually detracts from the experience when you first pick it up. We've praised the weighty feel of the iPhone in the past, lending it a premium feel in the face of toy-like phones, and it's almost disappointing that Apple decided to join that clan.
However, through extended use this problem quickly disappears, as the overall effect of the phone is still a chassis designed for strength, it just sits more anonymously in the pocket.
You'll obviously see the change in height too – the iPhone 5 stands 123.8mm tall to allow for the larger 4-inch screen. In truth, those not familiar with the iPhone 4S probably wouldn't notice the difference, which is why it's a good move from Apple to include the larger screen if it's not going put people off that hate larger phones.

The decision to stick at 4-inches is Apple's admission that while it recognises people are all over the idea of having more screen real estate to play with it doesn't want to move away from the thumb-friendly nature of the device.
Through a mixture of moving the centre of gravity slightly as well as repositioning the screen within the bezel, it's still possible to scroll your thumb mostly around the whole display one-handed, which Apple is clearly keen to keep hold of.

However, we're not convinced of that argument any more, and the power button was still a little out of reach when using the phone normally, as was anything in the top left-hand corner of the screen. #
This was no issue in reality, as scooting the phone down a touch in the palm is a natural action. But if that's the case, then why not offer a 4.3-inch screen at least?
There's more to a phone than a screen these days (although increasingly less and less) and the general construction of the iPhone 5 is excellent to say the least.

We've tested both the ceramic white version and the anodised black, and the two tone effect on the back of the phone is stunning, both visually and under the finger.
It doesn't beat the sheer beauty of the HTC One S, with its micro-arc oxidised back and rounded lines, but it's well-set in second place.

The two sections of pigmented glass at the top and the bottom of the phone add a pleasant effect, and the sapphire glass is meant to be thoroughly durable, to complement the Gorilla Glass on the front.
Apple knows consumers get furious when they drop and iPhone, and is clearly seeking to stop the smashes before they happen with a tougher exterior - although it seems the anodised black version is pretty prone to scratching, with a number of users mentioning chipping on the darker hue.
Phil Schiller, Apple's Senior Vice President of Marketing, reportedly replied to an email from a user pointing out that aluminium will scratch and chip in natural use - and we're also hearing that white iPhone 5 models are being returned through flaking as well.
We kept our black iPhone 5 in a soft pocket in a bag for much of its life, yet saw the following chip with minimal key / coin contact in under a fortnight:

For a device of this premium quality, users will expect it to survive the pocket test, and especially do so for the first two weeks of life. It's a big fail for Apple to expect users to accept that a product can be damaged so easily.
The same industrial band around the outside is in effect again as on the iPhone 4 and 4S, with small sections removed where the antenna joins.
Apple has gone for a more advanced form of antenna here, meaning the days of lost signal are gone, and generally increasing the power of your call connection and GPS lock on too.

There are other big design changes here too: the headphone jack has moved to the bottom of the phone, and the iconic 30-pin connector has been retired in favour of the new Lightning port, giving a headache to all those that have invested in chargers, docks and other accessories over their iPhone lives.
You can buy an adaptor, but it's going to be pricey: £25 or $30 when it lands in October. And unless you want to keep it permanently attached to the bottom of the iPhone 5 you'll need to buy a few, which is far from ideal.
However, let's not harangue Apple too much for this: a smaller connector is not only easier to use (you can plug the smaller cable in either way round, and the connection feels more solid), but you're rewarded with a thinner and more compact phone to boot.

There's also a small chink of light on the top right hand side of the iPhone 5 - when the screen is illuminated, you can see it under the band if you really, really look for it. It's been seen by a number of users, but is hard to actually replicate unless you mask the screen and hold it at the right angle.
It's again a sign of slightly under-par machining from Apple, but in day to day use it's almost completely invisible.
The decision to move the 3.5mm headphone jack to the bottom is an odd one, as while it allows you to slip the phone into the pocket head-first when listening to music, which is a more natural action, it's a real pain in the posterior for some apps that will only work in landscape a certain way up.
Using it this way means your headphones experience will be one of having to jiggle the jack around two fingers.
It's not the most comfortable way to hold a phone, and even when using the phone in portrait mode, the jack gets in the way somewhat. Plus it's miles away from the volume keys, which makes it hard to change the audio level in the pocket if you don't use the dedicated headphones.
There are other smaller design changes to the iPhone 5 too, such as the iSight front-facing camera moving to the middle and the home button being noticeably more robust to help reduce instances of a broken portal to your home screen.

But enough about what the phone looks like - the killer question is how the thing feels in hand. And we'll sum it up by saying: smooth. It's a little slippery, and we were always worried we would drop the darned thing.
But that's the only negative thing about the design (apart from the low weight initially and scratching aluminium) as it sits in the palm nicely and allows you to do it all with one hand, including hitting the top-mounted power/lock button with ease.
That lock button is actually still loose, as it was on the iPhone 4S, meaning when you shake the phone around you can hear it clicking away, which undoes a lot of the premium feel Apple is going for.
Make no mistake, the iPhone 5 is one of the most beautifully crafted phones out there - but when you're paying £529 up front for the thing, we'd hope this would be the very minimum Apple would be doing.

And while it looks nice, from the front it doesn't really add much to the design of the iPhone - it's certainly not the same as the jaw-dropping design of the iPhone 4 compared to the 3GS... it's another evolution in the iLine. It's not bad, but for those that hoped the iPhone 5 would be another step change there's a good chance they'll be disappointed about the look... until they feel the lovely back on offer.
There was a real chance here for Apple: remove the bezel and give the front of the screen a look that's similar to the OLED TVs from the likes of Samsung or LG… but instead we're treated to the same lines as before.
You always get the feeling that Apple saves what it can for the next iteration of the iPhone, and while there's nothing wrong with the current construction we can see the edge-to-edge screen becoming something amazing on the iPhone 6 or iPhone 5S.

MOHA.

Samsung Galaxy S3 review courtesy of techradar

The Samsung Galaxy SIII - a phone worthy of the hype

RATED 4.5/5. a good rate i guess.

Points For

• Excellent battery life
• Superb screen
• Quad core speed
• Top media management

Points Against

• Subjective design
• S Voice not optimised

The Galaxy S3 has been available in the market for a while now, but with the recent update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (the 4.1.1 platform), not only has the S3 been given a speed boost; there's also a host of other goodies thrown in as well.
It's mostly changes to the interface that have been brought with the new update, but there are a few other areas that have been updated with the new breed of TouchWiz, so we've spent a few weeks checking them all out.
Samsung has made a big deal about this phone, not only choosing to launch it at a big and glitzy standalone event in London but has managed to top 30 million sales in November 2012 - and given the amount of people we see rocking the handset on the trains these days, those number seem to bear a hallmark of truth.
The price is pretty palatable for a top-end phone – some sites are offering it for around £26 per month with a very low up front cost,
But let's get down to the main question – is this the phone you should be spending your hard-earned cash on?

Design

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is, according to Samsung anyway, 'inspired by nature – it sees, listens, responds, and enables you to share the greatest moments'.

While this is all a little hyperbolic, the nature theme is certainly present when you handle the phone for the first time.
Brushed polycarbonate – you've got a choice of 'Marble White' and 'Pebble Blue' – adorns the large device, which runs in with dimensions of 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6mm, despite still having to pack in a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD screen.
We'll lay it out right now: the plastic feeling of the Galaxy S3 won't appeal to all. It feels very lightweight (despite tipping the scales at 133g) in the hand, and some people will read this as feeling a little cheap.
However, it's exactly the same sensation as we found on the Galaxy S2, and given the silly numbers of sales that had, we think there's more than a market for a phone that you'll barely notice in your pocket most of the time.

But we'll be very clear on this - the Galaxy S3 is not a cheap-feeling phone. It's got a really solid Gorilla Glass 2 front, a well-packaged interior and a more robust battery cover. It's polycarbonate rather than bog-standard plastic, although we're not sure some people will like the more rounded nature of the design.

However, despite being made of similar material, there's no doubt that the HTC One X feels more premium in the hand. Although the One X is actually 3g lighter than the Galaxy S3, it feels a touch weightier, which shows the way texture can affect the way a phone feels in the hand. And there's something about an object so large feeling so light that some will find disconcerting in the S3.
There's no doubt in our minds that the Pebble Blue offering is the much more attractive option, since the Marble White looks similar to a low-end Galaxy Mini or similar – the brushed effect is really necessary. And now we've got a host of extra colours to play with (Titanium Grey, Garnet Red, Amber Brown and Sapphire Black) so the sky really is the limit here... although actually, there's no Sky Blue option.

Compared to rest of the Galaxy line, the S3 has more in common with the original Galaxy S than the S2, with curved edges the theme in the design language. The home button has also been elongated, although the same menu and back buttons remain from the prequel.

Overall, the effect is much more like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus than anything else – rounded edges, HD screen but with a more minimal bezel to really accentuate the larger screen in the hand.
The button design around the phone has been well thought out in our opinion - for a phone this big it's very difficult to make all the keys accessible, so putting the lock button on the right-hand side rather than the top makes a large degree of sense.
The addition of the lozenge-shaped home button, and its softkey 'Back' and 'Menu' buttons are great additions in our eyes, as it means contextual menus can be found easily without needing to mess around looking for the on-screen icon.
The volume up and down button is parallel to the lock key on the left-hand side of the phone, and also within easy reach when holding the Galaxy S3 in the hand.

The microUSB slot is placed at the bottom of the phone - easy to find with a charger but it will be interesting to see how it's used when placed in docks and car cradles.

The battery cover is also made of the same polycarbonate material as the rest of the body. Yes, you read that right - the battery cover is removable. The future isn't all unibody, it seems.

This means that not only can you switch the battery in and out - a key consideration for many people - there's also a cheeky surprise in the shape of a microSD slot next to the microSIM port. Expandable memory? This just gets better and better.
This means that theoretically you'll be able to have a 128GB-capacity Samsung Galaxy S3 if you combine the top spec of internal memory (64GB) with the largest microSD card around at the moment (64GB)... making it a mouth-watering prospect for those who love a spot of media. However, we're still waiting to see the 64GB Samsung Galaxy S3 variant make an entrance, as it looks like retailers are going off the idea of such a high capacity model.

Sure, there are stats that say only 10% of users regularly go over 16GB of storage, but there's always the lower end version of the Galaxy S3 for that. With HD movie downloads becoming far more prevalent, plus the influx of HD apps, we think more space is an excellent idea.
Overall the Samsung Galaxy S3 feels superb in the hand. The design contours well against the palm, and while the screen size may be a little big for some (you'll need a bit of shuffling to reach the upper section of the screen) it's definitely more than useable day to day.
So in short: if you don't mind a slightly lighter-feeling polycarbonate shell and you like big HD screens in your pocket, this is a phone definitely worth checking out.

FACEBOOK :: FRIEND OR FOE????????

Once again,welcome to my blog..in this post i would like to discuss something about facebook and social networks at large but will be concentrating on facebook primarily, before i begin,i would kindly urge everyone to contribute by comments below the post ..thank you.

    That facebook is a unnecessary evil is no question...the question will be what can be some of the dangerous aspects of zuckerberg's innovation that is facebook.

• Facebook is based, registered and run in the United States of America.
  This is bad because of the Patriotic Act. Even if Facebook starts respecting your privacy, your data is still easily available to every governmental institution in the Country through open backdoors or requests, as this a pdf documents. Think about what this means to your freedom.
• Facebook is a deliberate experiment in global manipulation.
  Facebook and Government institution have a history. In 2010 the U.S. Government started developing and using a software which creates fake profiles on social networks to spread messages and to spy on people.
• Facebook has gone public.                                                                                                            Now everything that counts is money. They will try everything to make money out of Facebook, thus you, your friends, your communication, everything. At least, I bet on it.
• Facebook is a centralized social network. It is run by Facebook alone.
  Not only does this contradict reality (you do not meet all your real-life friends only (!) in the same, single real-life place) it also makes the whole network prone to attacks and breakdowns. Think hacking attacks or software failures. The real-life complement would be destroying the one, single place where you meet all your friends making impossible to contact them anymore.
• Facebook Like-Buttons on External Web Sites - I can only warn you about the everywhere emerging Facebook Like-buttons on external (non-Facebook) web sites. When you are logged in to Facebook while browing the Internet. Due to the fact that the buttons are loaded through an embedded iframe (the non-Facebook web site embeds a Facebook web site), these buttons provide your personal browing habits to Facebook, even without you clicking on them.
• Mark Zuckerberg is an evil hacker.
  When Mark Suckerberg started Facebook he scraped student's profiles (names, images and other personal information) from several University websites to get his network - The Facebook - started. That is only one aspect of unethical behavior in his "sketchy" past. The question you have to ask yourself is: "Do I want to entrust a hacker like Mark Zuckerberg with personal information of myself and my friends and our communication?" Let me help you out: No!
• Even if you want, you cannot protect your privacy.
  You automatically entrust all your Facebook friends with your personal information, even against third-parties (like web applications (web apps) and data-sharing partners of Facebook). You would never do this in real life, maybe not even with your closest friends. On Facebook you even let the least tech-savvy person you know (or maybe do not even know) manage your online privacy issues. How sick is that?
• Facebook takes too much of my time.
  I have better things to do than wasting my time on Facebook.
• Broken Social Circle.
  I have a huge friend list full of people who are not actual friends. I don't know how that happened but my real-life social circle looks kind of different.
• You are being stalked.
  Generally speaking, Facebook is not really helpful when it comes to relationships. It usually just causes ridiculous jealousy.
• It just feels bad.
  I live my life in a free world with plenty of freedoms. They range from free thinking, free software, freedom of speech, ...simply freedom in all my decisions. Why would I want to be stuck in a walled garden like Facebook?
• Facebook makes it incredibly difficult to really delete an account.
  It is easy to find the "deactivate" option, but deactivation is not the same as deletion

• Friend or Foe?
  People whom you would rather not like to be connected with, find and contact you. It is hard not to accept friendship requests.

 -please think right and think +vely.

TECHNOLOGY:: A DISEASE OF THE BRAIN

- Technology like every new phenomena comes with its negative and positive side.today we live in a global village where everything is happening for us without much effort from our end in simple terms technology is doing most of the work for us,yes it is right to use less man power to do tedious jobs but it s rather ugly and sad to allow technology to now do barely everything including unlocking the door for our cars,rooms. OK, now that is not my point....
- My problem is when you cannot even do a simple computations,cramming a 10 digit phone number to transfer it to another contact is impossible ..seriously only 10 digits?????? now  you need to jog your mind next time please try not to write that number somewhere before you can put in your phone-book just hold it for some few minutes am sure your brain can do better than that.
-  See how well you tackle things..before the advent of internet and computers our fathers use to survive without all this..just hold on for a second, how would you have been without Google? seriously something need to be done and should be done by you reading this.
- The internet has robbed us of one of the most precious abilities of human beings that is our creativity,ability to deal with difficult situations...we are copy and paste generation if we don't change this then we going to place our children and future generation in a mess.we are going to have a world which is innovation less,creativity less and people who cannot work on their own.
- Recently a class three pupil could not do simple counting and everyone was surprised now that is what generations following us will suffer from a disease whose cure is in our hands right now..and the cure is STOP RELYING ON TECHNOLOGY FOR EVERYTHING.thank you and may God bless you ,amiin

SELF-CONFIDENCE

Self-confidence is a state of having faith in oneself. with confidence you will feel that your capable of doing things that others aren't able to do because everyone is unique in their own way.you will find people who have the potential of doing great thing limited by not believing in themselves or what i want to call lack of confidence as a result of belittling yourself. just know that no one can be you or a better you so behave in a better you way from now,and now here means straight away if you seated please feel free and like a king stretch your legs and seat the best way if you reading this while in a cyber please ask the person next to you to view this blog that shows whether you have started being confident or not,if you don't,you still have issues with  self-confidence.
         Misunderstood me not, i don't mean you should be arrogant and go ahead distorting others that will be having unmerited confidence which is not appropriate.so if your a student next time you in class rise your hand and ask a stupid question to improve your confidence,see how it feels when everyone is laughing because of you.
        Stand right and your head should be high in the crowd, represent yourself the best way because your the best.but please remember cofidence comes with respect and like charity it begins at home.respect yourself and others will respect you.lastly,please strive harder in whatever you doing and be that person when he dies others feel the gab.
