usb-memory-stick

Have you ever thought how much you could do with a usb memory stick? Well let me say to you that you can carry out many activities both for office related work, for fun and much more. I have been using a usb memory stick with many applications, security tools, antivirus programs, office package, image editing tools to edit documents, develop websites, edit html and css code, troubleshoot computer issues, image editing and much more.

Why I am sharing this with you? I want to let you know that you can do many things without having to carry a large external hard disks or even a laptop. Just Imaging when you go to see your friends, family or work colleagues and you need to share with them some nifty little tool or show them what you have achieved lately in word, PowerPoint etc. Wouldn’t you like to do all of the above and only be using a small usb memory stick? I know I would!! Oh before I forget all the applications and tools run from your usb memory stick without you having to install them anywhere else. Isn’t that great.

Have a look at portableapps website and see the amazing tools, utilities and even games that you can carry around in your little memory stick and plug it into a computer or laptop via the usb port.  So what are you waiting for, download it and install it into your usb memory stick and try it out. Believe me once you have seeing all that you can do, you will never stop using it.

If you have any problems setting it up just drop me a line or leave some feedback here and I will answer all your questions.

internet-and-the-world

The Internet world and the physical world, what do they have in common? Well think about it, in the last decade or so we have seeing a huge change in the way we live. We spend more time on the Internet navigating and searching for information or even buying products online. We also spend plenty of time communicating with loved ones and friends through e-mail, facebook, myspace etc. It is easy to loose yourself while online, don’t worry it happens to me :) Now you might ask yourself what does this have to do with the physical world? Well let me tell you that the obesity crisis has risen in the last decade all over the world for various factors and one of them is the Internet. We are not exercising enough and we are not eating properly. We spend too much time on the Internet, we rush home from work or school and most of the time the first thing we do is connect to the internet. I know that some don’t do this but a large number of people do, I know I am one of them :) We need to spend more time admiring the beauty of nature and life.

What I am trying to say here is that it is ok to spend some time in front of the computer navigating around the Internet but at the same time you should try to get up at least every 2 hours and walk around or do something else, drink some water, eat something, have a look outside if it is daylight etc etc. Don’t spend too much time in front of the computer looking at a screen. Try and do more outside activities, go fishing, bush walking, dancing, mountain climbing, cycling, swimming, go out for coffee and have a chat. I am sure that you can think of plenty more activities that you can do.

I hope this helps you and convinces you to take action, so what are you still doing in front of the computer ;) ? Get up and do something else….

sending-mms-or-sms

Remember the time when you first saw a telephone or Television and you said wow, what a great invention; this is geared towards the old generation without categorising them as x, y and z.

Have you ever thought how you send an mms or sms? You sit on the couch or where ever you are and type some text or take a photo on your mobile phone and press send and it goes. Don’t you ever think for a moment, how on earth does it get sent to my friends or loved ones? I don’t even get to see it! Where does it go? How can it get there if I don’t see it? Cyber world is a mystery to many in this planet, all they do is use the tools to communicate without thinking about it. Remember that some time in the future you will live a cyber world reality through virtual world. Now that will be another spinner to many of us.

Here is a link that will interest you How MMs Works.

How far is technology going, where will it peak and how much more can be done? I have many questions that I ask myself many times. However no matter how much I think about technology and especially cyber space, I have not come up with any conclusion yet.

If you have any thoughts on this why don’t you share it with everyone by posting it here. I am sure that we would love to read about your ideas.
