Computers: Accessorizing computers

What Comes Out of the Computer Box is a Really Just a Starter Kit

Yesterday, we spent about three hours trying to convince a client of ours that brand new computers just don’t come equipped with the all things that most computers need in a PC. We tried to convince him that a fully functional computer is one that is personalized with specially selected hardware and software accessories – and that the computer purchased at the store doesn’t come with these things. Unfortunately, all of our convincing was to our avail. Our client insisted that he should never need more than what came with his boxed product and that we were just trying “bilk” more money out of him.

As computer consultants, it’s our job and mission to make sure our clients are 100% satisfied when they walk out our offices. But our job is unnecessarily made harder when people don’t take the time to learn about computer accessories and familiarize themselves with the limitations of store-bought computers. Hopefully by the time you finish reading this article, you’ll understand the lesson that we were trying to teach our client: “What comes out of the box is really just a starter kit.”

The typical computer package comes with a CPU unit, keyboard, mouse, and speaker set. That may be just fine for some, but most people require more than that especially in today’s “connected” society. Today’s users require full multimedia capabilities, a wide range of graphics tools, and accommodations for the various portables we now enjoy. These extras aren’t included with “what comes out of the box,” and the only way to get them is to accessorize.

To illustrate the importance of accessorizing, we like to use the “plain dough” analogy. Let’s say that a brand new computer is a batch of plain dough – waiting to be flavored and baked into something useful. If we want to use this dough to make a delicious batch of chocolate chip cookies, we would need to “accessorize” this dough with chocolate chips and a little brown sugar. If we want to use this dough into in a warm loaf of sesame seed bread on the other hand, we’d need to “accessorize” the dough with yeast and sesame seeds.

Like “plain dough,” the brand new computer isn’t very useful by itself. It needs accessorizing.

Depending on what’s needed, accessorizing doesn’t need to be expensive. In fact, you can get away with paying a minimal amount for extra software and hardware if these accessories are for children. It’s when these accessories are work requirements or when they’re needed to produce works of quality for any other reason that they can become rather expensive. And this expense applies to microphones, digital cameras, PDAs, scanners, video cams, and more.

Regardless of cost, it’s important to understand that accessories can become “necessities,” and that the best time to get them is the moment you buy a new computer. Waiting too long to accessorize can cause more problems than necessary because while you wait, manufacturers continuously develop new technologies – technologies that your computer won’t be able to accommodate in the future. Once you’re ready to accessorize, the new products on the market are too advanced for your computer and they just won’t work. This is a typical problem experienced by those who want to use hardware designed for Windows 7 on a Windows 8 or Windows 10 machine.

A brief explanation on the benefits of owning a smartphone

If you haven’t heard of smartphones, we’d like to learn where you’ve been hiding all this time. Smartphones have been all over the news and chances are, you do know what they are – only you know them under a different name. Smartphones are mobile phones with computer like capabilities.

What’s that? Aha! Yes, you’ve not only heard of them, you’ve probably seen them as well. Packed with Internet access, email capabilities, address books, and a whole lot more, cell phones have come a long way since their first debut. But be careful not to confuse these newest toys with sandbox devices.

Sandbox devices are tools that come pre-loaded with things like calendars, calculators, and a notepad. What differentiates them from smartphones is that users can add (download and install) additional programs to smartphones and they seemingly become mini portable computers for the people who use them. That – and the ability to edit the content that sits on them – is what makes these phones “smart.”

Some of the more popular brand names include the Blackberry, PalmSource, Nokia, Samsung, HTC and Windows CE. Yet the craze is extending to even some off-brand company names like Tecno, Infinix, Innjoo, Lenovo, Gionee, Huawei etc. Today, it’s hard to find a cell phone that doesn’t offer some sort of “smart” technology because it’s in such a high demand. The convenience of having information at our immediate access is phenomenal – so much so that thousands of programmers have jumped on the opportunity to build unique applications specific to these small machines.

As a result, you can find tons of games, databases, GPA systems, weather reporting programs, and even small encyclopedias on these things – each accessible not at the click of a mouse – but at a few presses of a free thumb. Of course a mini keyboard is available for the text-messaging fan or for the poor fellow who can’t seem to get away from the office. In the latter case, don’t be surprised if you find the entire Microsoft Office suite displayed within a screen no bigger than a matchbook.

Is this a phase? That’s highly doubtful. The market for these devices extends from the highly technical and professional all the way to the pre-teen socialite. The product crosses all demographics and thanks to decreasing costs – it sees no economic boundaries as well. The Wikipedia encyclopedia claims that “Out of 1 billion camera phones to be shipped in 2008, Smartphones, the higher end of the market with full email support, will represent about 10% of the market or about 100 million units.”

But what is it that makes smartphones so appealing? As mentioned, smartphones give us the ability to not only carry our data around with us where ever we go, it also gives us the ability to edit that data any place – any time. In today’s “reality” based generation, we’re always looking for the opportunity to capture and relive a moment. And we want to share that moment with others. At best, smartphones give us the opportunity to express ourselves impromptu with entertaining results.

Attempting to do the same with a bulky desktop computer or laptop is to cumbersome. Even some of the smallest peripherals (digicams, digital cameras, etc.) don’t give us the same opportunities that smart phones do. Being able to carry around a device for communication, creation, recording, and editing simply compliments the need for today’s generation to do more and then do it, faster!

Even if I get rich, I won't live that kind of life. It doesn't portray a good Christian if u ask me.

ayusco85:
So dating wiz kid is now a title?

Work hard bro and become succeessful and any woman who sucks your dick will get a title

khiaa:


Yes I said who knows, which is a question so how do you consider that ignorant? If I would have said I don't know then you could have said I was ignorant because that is what the word means*To not know* but that is not what I said. So does that make you ignorant?

You win

Bye bye

khiaa:



It should be obvious to you that I'm talking about the ones in the U.S., so who sounds ignorant again. I know that pigin is your universal language but again I'm talking about my experiences here. They are talking to each other in pidgin but they are from the same tribe. Maybe they can't speak their native language. Who knows.

Now who is ignorant?

khiaa:


I can't understand why more of you don't speak in your native language, that sounds sexy as hell.

Do you live here?

Many people speak their native tongues when they are with fellow tribes men. It doesn't make any sense to speak Yoruba to an Igbo person. Pidgin is what unites us. Like a common language everyone can speak to understand each other

Your opinion that most Nigerians do not speak their native languages is ignorant as best

khiaa:
g

Of course it sounds better to you but to the untrained ear it' makes being deaf seem appealing.

Lol

khiaa:



You were making fun of their grammar when pigin English sounds much worse.

Lol. Really? To me pidgin sounds better than that

khiaa:


To your pigin English.

I was speaking to my people. Not you

That is why you did not understand the comment

khiaa:



Yes.

To what?

chyzoo4u:
Whoever knows this guy @attached should please check if his brain is still intact.

Should we still the guy that?

khiaa:


Come on now, how do you think your pigin English sounds to others, let's not be hypocritical here.

My or our pidgin?

Agimor:
Bro, this is not about necessity, it's about show of.

It is about appreciating history

zlantanfan:

disaster

Where are the fashion police?

Why don't you ask your friends?

Just imagine the kind of grammar put together by these Americans. If na Nigerians, we no go hear the end of "o ta ibon"

It is well

Even inside the well

LarryBeryl:
1000+ is too small to risk. Find out by doing the needful

1k+ is the first payment to make you committed

They will roll in other bills after they receive that 1k+ and you will be surprised how much they will eventually cart away

Valfrankie:
I'm just curious how this guy makes his money and why he idolizes cash so much. He practically worships money! WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF HIS WEALTH? Has he been recognized by Forbes? Is he now richer than Dangote, Adenuga and Otedola combined? What business is he into? He may be the Richest Nigerian Act, but dude makes more noise about money than Jay Z and Beyonce!!!

Well, Nigerians are used to celebrating celebrities who do not add any value to them

I first thought naptu came up with this. But then no be 70s things

Great idea by the way.
The home page needs a little more work in terms of categorizing items.
Right now it just shows random products.

The items displayed on home page take up too much space on mobile, maybe its fine on desktop.

The news letter stuff was also a great idea.
That's all I think a few tips would be

Advertising on Facebook, its really awesome.
Plus you should study sites like amazon and other big websites that deals on stuff like this, they'll really show you how to categories.

Nice idea once again.
Keep up the good work

Sup. Check the site again and tell me what you think now

As a person who fancies solitude, I could easily relate to this article

Seeking solitude can actually be quite healthy. It isn’t just a professional plus; it’s also good for your mental and emotional well-being. To get the most out of life, you must learn to enjoy spending time alone. This is what the mentally strong people do.

In this pro-social world, we are strongly influenced in favour of being with people, or at least constantly interacting with others, be it through social media or other electronic means. We are always going somewhere, doing something or at least chatting to someone about going somewhere or doing something.

But seeking solitude can be quite healthy. This is a healthy habit mentally strong people have. Here are reasons why it makes them mentally strong.

They Have An Understanding Of Who They Are
The reality is that we were born alone and are meant to die alone. Some solitude offers you the opportunity to discover this reality; that you are unique and you do not need any comparison with anyone. Success can come from understanding who you are and what you want out of life.

They Are More Focused
According to a study, students who studied alone fared better than students who studied in groups. Such study identified that students who spent time during solitary reflection had a more improved concentration. Better concentration leads to success in school and in your professional life.

They Have Better Relationships
Spending time alone offers the mentally strong a better understanding of yourself and what you desire in life. You can identify the relationships that will make you better and that are necessary to your growth. Also, the relationships are better appreciated after you spend some time alone.

They Are Relieved From Anxiety

Stress builds up in our lives and it is difficult to differentiate between ourselves and what is within. Spending time alone offers us the opportunity to slow down, catch a deep breath and set our minds straight. During this process, we rid our minds of thoughts that are negative and unnecessary. Less anxiety allows for a time of innovation and self-searching.

They Make Smarter Decisions
Solitude gives the opportunity to think through every action you are about to take. You can be willing to stand for anything you want to commit yourself to. Solitude helps the mentally strong find their own voice and your identity instead of following the pack.

They Attack Problems Effectively
No one’s life is free of problems or challenges. Yet, through the constant noise and distractions, it is difficult to have a clear head as to what actions should be taken. You need some time to analyse and actualize. Solitude makes them see problems as temporary setbacks rather than becoming overwhelmed by them.

“ALL MEN’S MISFORTUNES SPRING FROM THEIR HATRED OF BEING ALONE.” – JEAN DE LA BRUYERE

They Show Appreciation To the Simple Things Of Life
Solitude makes the mentally strong see life from a clear perspective. They are not looking for sophistication or ambiguity rather do they desire them during solitude. However, you can appreciate their being, their time and such details that they may never have been aware of. You can sift thoughts and cherish what is valuable.

They Get More Done
Do you have a list of things you need to do, want to do? Is your list one of these that never seems to get any shorter because you are always too busy to get around to doing the things on the list?

Spending time on their own allows them uninterrupted time to get these things done. They may or may not enjoy doing them, depending on what is on their list, but they will definitely feel better for having finished them. They will emerge with less stress, less weighing on their mind and the satisfaction of a job well done.

They Become More Relaxed And Tolerant
Do you sometimes feel irritable and get easily annoyed with people? Do you find a great many “jerks” around you at times?

The more annoying people appear to you, and more of them there are, the more you could benefit from some time on your own. You cannot change the world, you cannot change what other people say or do. But you can change your perspective on them. After some calm, peaceful time on your own doing whatever pleases you, or doing nothing at all, you will find the annoyances in life shrink dramatically because you are now relaxed and more tolerant.

Orikinla1:

It is healthier and safer than sleeping with dozens of different strange men everyday in brothels and hotels.

Many of the webcam models are investing their incomes in their academic and professional education.

Making US$2000 daily with a webcam in the privacy of your room is the safest highest paying job at the moment.
I know "runs" babes who sleep around with rich men in Lagos and Abuja and still cannot afford a good car.
The club girls in Nigeria cannot even make US$500 daily from entertaining naughty men at night clubs.

True that

And even adding "4 years of webcam modelling which includes dildoing masturrrbating breast and yansh exposure etc " as "experience" in their CV will go a long way in guaranteeing them job after they graduate
