Wed, 12 Sep 2018 19:55:54 +0000 en-US hourly 1 4 Types Of Earphones Sun, 24 Dec 2017 12:34:09 +0000 If you are looking for headphones, did you know that there are very many kinds of headphones in the market that you can purchase? The most common types are:


These are simply large circles that press against your ear. When you wear them, they rest on the outer ear-they don’t enter the ear canal. This feature allows them to leak sound from the external environment to get into the ear.

The earphones are loved by many people as they are compact and easy to carry around. While they are great, their main flaw is that they allow noise to enter your ear thus you don’t receive good quality music that you deserve. They also tend to hurt the ear especially when you wear them for a long time.

In-ear earphones

Some people argue that these units are similar to the earbuds, but this isn’t the case. These pieces get inside your ear canal thus blocking noises from the outside. In addition to this, they are comfortable as they are often made from soft materials. The pieces are also light thus you can easily travel with them.

Just like any other pieces, they come with their negatives. Their major flaw is that they are delicate; therefore, they easily get damaged. This requires you to be very cautious when handling them.


On-ear headphones sit right over your outer ear. When you wear them, they cover your ear canals rather than the entire ear. Their most identifying feature is a closed back thus you are able to listen to the music better. The units are also lightweight thus you can easily travel with them. In fact, some of the brands pack them with packing bags making it even easier to go with them.

While they are great units to have, they often feature a foam padding on the ear-cups that tends to get moist when your ears sweat. While you can use them both indoors and outdoors, they provide poor noise isolation when you use them outdoors. If you use them for a long time, they cause ear irritation.

Over ear

From their name, these units cover the entire ear. Due to this, they reduce noise pollution. They keep the sound you are listening to in thus you are able to get maximum results. In addition to maintaining the music in the ear, they are also very comfortable. In fact, some models feature cups made from velvet that don’t crunch your ears.

The main flaw with the units is that they are usually heavier than most of the other models in the market. Due to this, they cause fatigue when you wear them for extended periods of time.


These are some of the most common types of earphones that you can buy. The ones that you go for depends on your needs and preferences. If you travel a lot, you should go for the light versions. On the other hand, if you stay in the house most of the time, go for the bulky ones. To make the most from the units, ensure that you buy those of high quality.

Five Common Reasons for Data Loss Tue, 12 Dec 2017 12:07:13 +0000 When the drive is damaged physically.


When the operating system fails.

Luckily if your operating system fails, it means that nothing is wrong with the hard drive itself. The data areas are usually safe, therefore your chances of a full recovery are high. All the expert needs to do is to copy the data from your hard drive to a new one. This can be easier said than done, so take advice. If you are not familiar with hard drives and data structures, don’t risk your valuable information.

When it dies of old age.

As hard drives grow old they experience unpredictable failures. All hard drives will fail at some point, but you will never know when. The mechanical parts of a hard drive will wear down over time and the media surface degrade. Eventually this will cause the drive to crash. Hard drives are becoming increasingly more reliable, but always read the manufacturers ‘mean time before failure’ or MTBF. This is normally calculated in hours and when this has expired, it might be time to upgrade.

If it catches a virus.

Computer viruses can be extremely malicious and damaging to your computer, whilst ransom-ware can be expensive if you fall victim. It is not only recommended but necessary to have a decent anti-virus program installed on your computer. Many users forget that malware doesn’t always present itself as a virus. So anti-malware software such as Malware bytes should also be considered essential. Some viruses will quickly spread around your computer and onto any networks your computer is connected to. So even if you have a mapped backup, catch any malware quickly before it spreads. Make sure you are extremely careful when downloading files and applications online, ensuring they are from safe sources, and don’t open any files emailed to you from an unknown source.

When you accidentally delete or overwrite data.

Manually overwriting data or accidentally deleting it is a common story. Many people will often think their data is already saved somewhere else and will delete the files. While data being overwritten is usually an accident, it is often intentionally done. In criminal and forensic circumstances data may be intentionally erased in an attempt to cover up the tracks of illegal activities, meaning forensic experts may be hired to perform data recovery for the hidden data. Unfortunately, it can be difficult and sometimes impossible to recover data that has been overwritten.

The best way to avoid data loss, is by simply backing up your valuable files on external hard drives or making use of cloud services. If you choose to back up your data, make sure to store it in a safe and secure location away from your computer. This will ensure any damage such as flood, fire or theft will not affect your backed up files. Also make sure that you are saving whole copies of the original files and remember to back up regularly.

Be that as it may, the procedure may very well be less demanding than you might suspect, particularly with cutting edge information stockpiling media, for example, the LTO-7 tapes.

Recognize The Essential Data

Perhaps the reason you think information reinforcement is a requesting assignment is just in light of the fact that you erroneously expect that you have to store each and every piece of data. In all actuality, not each bit of information you have is sufficiently critical for capacity.

Be that as it may, in light of certain administrative prerequisites (for example, rules on educated assent by the Australian National Data Service), and business strategies, you might not need to move down specific sorts of data. Also, the approach actualized by your organization might just require stockpiling of certain basic data, which promote diminishes the requirement for pointlessly extensive information reinforcement limit.

Use Multiple Backups

To lessen the danger of misfortune, even in information storage, it’s important to have different storage choices.

Despite the fact that this may appear as a pointless extra undertaking, it offers more noteworthy security for your most significant data. You may have certain information that is significant to the operations of your business; henceforth, you require more noteworthy security.

It’s insightful to exploit distinctive reinforcement media, for included security. Along these lines, when one media encounters some type of disappointment, you’re not prone to have a comparable involvement with another media alternative.

Chose The Suitable Incidence Of Backup

Having a customary recurrence of reinforcement is pretty much as essential as having the right reinforcement media. If the recurrence of information creation is high, you would require a great deal more incessant reinforcement; while, you would require lower reinforcement recurrence on the off-chance that you manage considerably less information.

For such reinforcement procedures to coordinate adequately with your information stockpiling needs, your business ought to have plainly characterized operational methods. The procedures should be legitimately observed by able work force, and also assessing the base supporting it. Generally as you would have obviously characterized rules on other basic business operations, it’s important to have plainly characterized rules on information reinforcement operations.

Opening Up to the Internet of Things Thu, 21 Sep 2017 12:27:24 +0000 Not long ago I was explaining how the internet works to a senior citizen at the launch of a recently held e-business application.

I was able to explain that the Internet is a global web of computers, which is termed as the worldwide web, or the www and this is the collection of millions of computers remotely, providing web pages that displays on computers.


So, I went on to say that, when you intend visiting any publicly hosted website, in the address bar of the Internet browser application, you declare the protocol identifier, which is the hypertext transfer protocol what is called the http:// followed by www then the domain name which is the name of the website which ends with,.biz,.org or any other. The structure of the website address is what is termed as the Uniform Resource Locator. (URL). If this address is valid to a remote server hosted online, then the pages requested will load up within seconds.

It is worth noting that establishing connection for an internet access primarily has to do with protocols at various levels of the end to end connection, so suffice to say that there is a high probability that a website you are visiting could not display due to a breach in one or many Internet Protocols.

With the emergence of the Internet in the 90’s till the early 2000’s there was the limitations of Internet access to the end-user only by means of the personal computers and laptops but this monopoly was broken with the development of the Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) which was adapted by Mobile Service Providers in the beginning of the year 2000.

This is the development that gave rise to a more sophisticated regime of handsets within a short time with the birth of the much hyped WAP technology, the protocol phased-out within the first 5 years, WAP was no longer the protocol of choice for emerging devices when bandwidth became the De facto for interactive streaming with the development of more reliable faster mobile internet protocols on stream.

Just a little over a decade and a half, and we see an overwhelming digital culture where household appliances, lifestyle gadgets and consumable electronics are in tight competition with traditional mobile devices over the internet space. From Pens sunglasses, apparels, television sets almost every other appliance and device is internet ready birthing a new identity as Smart Devices.

The emergence of smart devices and the redesigning of our traditional elements is what is being labeled in recent times as Internet of Things (IoT). Sounds like internet of everything to kitchen ware and where incandescent light bulbs are now re-engineered with a more intelligent Light-emitted diode or a more advanced organic LED is able to interact intelligently with other networked devices wirelessly.

Gartner says that, a typical home could contain more than 500 smart devices by 2022 which may include wardrobes, and water sink. And these could be most basic home and in a related report, Fortune Tech, is forecasting that global mobile traffic will grow eightfold over the next four years, reaching 30.6 exabytes monthly by 2020 due to the explosion of IoT and what’s interesting is the fact that the average smartphone user today consumes about 1.4 GB of data every month and this is expected to increase to an average of 8.9 GB.

IoT affects the average household and the behavior of the general consumer at large and where ever you find yourself either indirectly in the technology paradigm, there is lots of prospect and opportunities that can be maximized for the benefits of the general society.

The consumer industry drives a fundamental paradigm in the way users interact and personalize devices by transmitting small amounts of data from these devices in the monitoring, controlling and sensing functionalities imbedded in them.

51% of the world’s population in 2017 are occupants of the Zettabyte era where it is estimated that we are reaching a data consumption of 1.2 Zettabyte or 1.2 billion Terabyte.

A bold statement by former CEO of CISCO, John Chambers states that there will 50 billion devices online within 5 years.

This may not be a bloated estimation, considering the fact that Facebook application alone consumes a daily rate of 600 Terabyte of data from user interactions.

Executive Chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt has disclosed a sterling statistic which states that we create as much information in two days now as we did from the dawn of man through 2003.

Globally 8.4 billion things will be interconnected to the Internet of Things in 2017 according to Gartner Report and it goes on to state that 5 billion of which will be consumer appliances alone.

The more connected things we have, the more the rise of the data economy and how well information can be structured for the improvement of life and modernization of culture.

IoT is getting rid of our dependence on manual procedures and with a connectivity framework, knowledge sharing and access to information is so crucial and just a matter of time, data quality standards of information will need to be enforced for more things being connected to have a data quality compliance.

A vital interest in the IoT dimension are the collection and storage of data by medical equipment being connected to securely share patient’s medical history and medical research between consultants and medicine research.

Beyond motor vehicle and consumer appliances making waves in IoT, the peak of the paradigm will happen in the near future where “things” like hemodialysis, ventilators, stethoscopes, weight-scale will become intelligent in their data collection and storage capabilities on cloud in the total improvement of health research and the speed of health delivery.
