Bad ICT habits

Just an highlight of various things we do innocently, sometimes out of laziness, that have far reaching effects than we imagine

1. Using a password for multiple accounts
If you're like me that's involved in lots of online activities like social networking, online forums, blogging or you just own gadgets that requires a password, chances are that you use a similar password for one or more of your accounts. The bad thing about this is that once someone gets hold of your password then all the accounts you use the password to access will be compromised.

2. Not logging out of a public computer
You're checking your mail in a cafe and just when you're about to log out your time expires and locks you out, so you stand up and walk away hoping the next customer would log you out. I don't even need to highlight the damages this could cause you. Also saving your credentials on a public system is not a good idea.

3. Not updating your Antivirus Frequently
Countless harmful computer viruses are being created every single day and the only sure way to keep your computer safe is updating your system's antivirus with the latest update file to enable it recognise the signature of the latest threats. By the way, it's high time the replace that 2010 version of antivirus you're using.

4. Installing Anything and Everything on your system
We all want our laptops or desktops to be 'fully loaded' not thinking about the consequences. The more softwares you install, the higher the chances of your system slowing down ~slower boot time, slower disk read time~, chances of getting a currupt registry and also making your system more vulnerable to viruses and spywares that maybe embedded in some softwares.

The list goes on and on...

Introducing Nokia Asha 205

Thinking of buying a phone on a budget that also ensures your social online presence? The Nokia Asha 205 might just be what you really need. This QWERTY keyboard phone's design may not really be all that, but what's one to expect from a phone intentionally made affordable? A great bargain in my opinion as it wouldn't cost more than N1,000 to purchase this dual sim phone armed with features such as a dedicated Facebook button, threaded view sms ~Blackberry feel~, FM recording, in addition to being deeply socially integrated. It comes with a selection of popular social networking apps: Facebook, Twitter, eBuddy messenger, even Whatsapp(single SIM version). Definitely a phone to watch out for from Nokia.

5G and 4G Explained in a Few Words

  The present Generations of Wireless Communication Technology 5G is short for fifth generation wireless technology. It is the newest standard for cellular networks that promises to deliver much faster speeds and more reliable connections than previous generations of cellular technology. 4G, on the other hand, is short for fourth generation wireless technology. It is the most widely used standard for cellular networks. It offers speeds that are significantly faster than 3G, but not as fast as 5G. The main difference between 5G and 4G is that 5G offers significantly faster speeds and more reliable connections than 4G. 5G also has lower latency, which means that it can provide a more responsive experience for users.
