I dont trust guys who always collect numbers from girls...OP the guy maybe takin his time

Today's marriages face an unprecedented
challenge . Never before has there been so
much technology, which despite providing
some benefits, threatens personal interaction
and relationships. On the one hand, couples
are able to communicate more often
throughout the day and even when they are
away. While hubby is at the supermarket, you
can reach him to remind him to pick up the
milk, writes April Masini, the relationship
expert at AskApril.com , in an e-mail. And
while you are in California on business, you
can even see each other through video chats.
At the same time, however, you can get lost in
your text messages, communicate with others,
and be in the same room with your spouse
without even noticing because of the
technological distractions all around you.
Since your marriage is the most precious
relationship you have, you need to protect it.
So, here are Masini's marriage rules for the
digital age:
1. No cell phones at dinner.
When you and your spouse are lucky enough
to dine together (which should happen as
often as possible if not every night), then you
should give each other your undivided
attention. This means that you should shut off
all your devices or remove them from your
presence. "Cell phones may seem to be part of
a dinner time place setting, along with the
salad fork and butter knife, but it’s a good
idea to take the cell phone off the table and
turn it off while you’re eating together," writes
Masini. Sit and talk to each other - face to
face. Share the particulars of your day, some
hopes for the future (even if it's just the
weekend), and interact directly with one
another.
2. Have an electronics-free bedroom.
Ok, this is a tough one. Keeping all electronics
out of the bedroom might seem impossible,
especially if you like to watch TV before falling
asleep. Maybe you can allow the TV and
nothing else. Or you can bring in an iPad for
movie viewing. But you should do your best to
put a limit on the technology entering your
bedroom and keep everything off when you're
trying to get intimate. You should be able to
have sex the old-fashioned way without the
use of electronics. Actually touching each
other is a great experience and one not to be
missed if you know what I mean.
3. Beware the messages you send.
You never leave a paper trail nowadays. Most
people don't know what paper is. But you do
leave a digital trail. Even if you delete
messages or think that your cell phone or e-
mailbox is super private, it's not, reminds
Masini. She hears from people, who tracked
their mate's messages, and didn't like what
they saw. "You may be faithful to your spouse,
but that photo you send your ex, that’s
slightly flirty (or very flirty) will set off
fireworks if and when it’s seen by someone
you didn’t intend," adds Masini. "Think before
you send." If it's something you would not
want your spouse to see, then don't send it.

4. Make time for physical contact.
Some couples create a false sense of
closeness because of technology. They think
that they are in love or intimate because they
message and video chat all the time. But they
rarely, if ever, see each other in person.
Granted, most married couples have spent
some time face to face. But even those in
long-distance marriages tend to have unique
challenges when they finally get together in
person. "When they do meet up in person, they
realize all the 'holes' in the relationship that
weren’t clear because technology doesn’t
convey everything when it comes to human
dynamics," writes Masini. "A message via
prose or text is not fueled by non-verbal cues
which can be instrumental in conveying
feelings." Touching is magical, so get up,
close, and personal as soon as you can.
5. Be mindful of Internet porn.
The Internet has made porn super accessible
to people. And you don't have to even be
embarrassed because you can check out the
naked ladies from the comfort of your living
room. But wives tend to take it personally
when they discover their husband watching
porn. Masini warns that lots of men look at
porn and it's no big deal. They are visual
creatures seeking stimulation and nothing
more. The problems arise if they are addicted
to porn (their viewing gets in the way of their
real life and relationships) or if they are
soliciting real women with whom they have
inappropriate relationships. That's another
story and one that you must address.
6. Unplug once per week.
If you can, shut off all technology for an entire
day and just be with each other. If once a
week is too often, then consider once a month
or some other schedule that works for you. It
will be a challenge at first, but the rewards
will make it worth it. Just think about the
conversation and all that kissing without a
beep or a ring.

According to a recent study, the WhatsApp
messaging service has been noted as the
preferred social media platform among
Nigerian Professionals. This is according to a
survey conducted by Nigeria’s social
innovation centre, Co-creation Hub.
According to Co-creation Hub, the survey
which was conducted to determine what
Nigerian professionals do with their mobile
phones, showed that of the 1,552
professionals surveyed, 489 (31.5%) rely on
the messaging app for their social media
engagements. This is followed by blackberry
messenger with 20.9 percent and Facebook
with 15.7 percent. Social networking app
Twitter come a distant fourth with 6.9 percent.
The survey also revealed that SMSs are
becoming unpopular with Nigerian
professionals as most of those surveyed either
only surf the internet or make voice calls most
of the time with their mobiles. According to
the survey, 39.3 percent of Nigerian
professionals spend their time browsing the
internet while 36.1 percent make calls with
their mobiles. Chatting, messaging and
gaming stood at 15.3, 7.4 and 1.6 percent
respectively.
Furthermore, the survey also looked at phone
brands mostly favoured by Nigerian
professionals. It shows Microsoft’s Lumia 625
emerge as the preferred mobile device among
Nigeria’s professionals with 27.2 percent. This
is followed by Blackberry Q10 with 22 percent
and Samsung Galaxy S4 which polled 17.5
percent. Others include Tecno M7 with 15
percent, iPhone 5, 8 percent and LG mobile,
3.7 percent. THe HTC, Sony, Infinix and Nexus
were favoured by 1.8 percent, 1.4 percent, 1.1
percent and 0.6 percent, respectively.
The survey also revealed that 38.5 percent of
Nigerian professionals still subscribe to MTN
Nigeria. This is followed by Etisalat with 25.1
percent while Airtel and Globacom are
subscribed to by 23.3 and 13.2 percent
respectively.

ATNSOFT has developed a calculator Android
app that uses voice input technology for users
to perform calculations by simply saying them
into a microphone.
To input data by voice entry, just press the
microphone button and speak the expression
(for example: 75 and 12 times 5 = 75 + 12 × 5
= 135): it will appear on screen and the result
will be calculated immediately, according to
the Windows and Android app developer.
The calculator with voice Input can perform
simultaneous calculations. With a simple
horizontal swipe, the application can switch to
other screens for individual series of
calculations. This application feature allows
users to simultaneously calculate independent
data and compare the results of various
calculations or alternative methods of
calculation.
The calculator is available in two versions –
free and paid. The cost of the paid version is $
2.95. The program requires a device running
Android 4 operating system or above.
