And they continue scamming you with high prices

Who's scamming me.. I'd rather get a phone with a warranty that works in Nigeria. If you buy a device that the company is only based in China what happens when the device is bad. Will you go to China. I wrote a phone review on my blog for a brand, 7 months later the device screen was broken and the brand asked me to go to Kenya to fix it. Unpopular brands are just not too good.

So what happens when the screen breaks and the parts are not available. Unpopular brands ko.. Buy at your own risk . Before we will hear that somebody's phone exploded somewhere.

Biko Bro abeg no forget say na Naija we dey, imagine when you issue command and NEPA come take light ni.

Imaging the number 2 option sef, e fit cause fatal damage to properties because Naija home settings the be like small kiosk shop.

I fit manage the number 3 option sha, na to buy red, blue bulbs take decorate the house like beer parlour when Bae show

This things would only make sense in Nigeria when there's uninterrupted power suppy and good network receptions...

Imagine say na Glo you use issue command and the device would be like "Ogar abeg I no understand you, please try again or contact your village people for good network. Thank you"

Nice info

Good morning NaijaTechGuy

P. S - If you need to order the Amazon Echo or The Xiaomi Mi Smart Home.. Check the link

The Internet Of Things is one of the latest tech trends in the world and its quite new in Nigeria. You need to have a very wild and imaginative mind to really understand what I mean in this post. IOT will really change how we live in Nigeria in many ways. Unfortunately, the only setback is the lack of steady electricity but if your house is powered by solar energy its quite possible to achieve all this. I also recommend you use a strong 4G network.


Most of the IOT devices require a WiFi Router and if you really want to enjoy your devices you can get an assistant that can control the devices. There's Google Home And Amazon Alexa. I haven't tested out Google Home out but I've tested the Amazon Alexa and it works quite well here in Nigeria.

Home Security
Let's say you went to work in Lekki and someone breaks into your home at Ikorodu, there are IOT powered cameras that can be placed at several parts of your home that can send alerts of what's happening within your home straight to your phone. An example of one of these cameras is the Nest Cam IQ. When the Nest Cam IQ spots a person, it automatically zooms in and follows that individual as he or she walks across the room, at the same time also keeping the full 130-degree picture in view.

You can zoom 12x on any specific area. It has intelligent audio alerts as well and will notify you when it hears the sound of a dog or a person's voice. If you want to keep an eye on your kids while at work you can still use the Nest Cam IQ as it has a built-in audio feature that lets you talk to your kids from the camera. There's also the Xiaomi Mi Smart Home Kit it comes with different sensors, including a door sensor that sends an alert to your phone once the door is opened. The Xiaomi Mi Smart Home is available in Nigeria while the Nest Cam can be ordered from Amazon.


Helping With Chores
I don't really recommend constant use of IOT devices for this right now if you have kids. It'll probably make them grow up to be lazy.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CL803dVGfuE/WUWUr7Ri8BI/AAAAAAAAJN4/J0NTWgyj8y0g2EsHkyHBEMMlHpZgAjDdQCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255BUNSET.jpg

If you're too lazy to do some chores, you could just talk to Alexa or send a command from your smartphone and it'll tell your smart vacuum cleaner to clean up the whole house.There's also the smart fridge and air condition. You can ask your assistant to turn on the A.C or turn off the fridge. It can also turn on the water heater. The possibilities are endless. i-Robot's Roomba vacuum cleaner and most General Electric's IOT powered products are compatible with the Amazon Alexa.


Entertainment
Let's say you're inviting a girl over to your new place and you want to leave her speechless, IOT powered devices would do that comfortably. You can simply walk into your home and tell Alexa or the Mi Smart Home to change the color of the lights, dim the lights or you can simply send a command from your phone.

You can even use Alexa or your smartphone with Anymote to control your home theater system. You can just ask it to turn it on and it'll do just that. Let's say the sun is too bright and its really hot, you can still tell Alexa to close the curtains. You'll need smart curtains for this. I think Google home can turn on the Playstation 4 as well but I will be writing that down in another post . I'd bet you she'll be shocked.(that's of course if she isn't a Techie). The fun part about the Amazon Echo (Alexa) is that you can have as many echo units as you like but only the one closest to you would answer to your commands.


Now lets look at 4 things you'll be able to eliminate the use from your home with IOT so far although not completely.



1.The need of a broom.(95%). (well not completely, there's nothing like Alexa kill the cockroach or Alexa spray "otapiapia" on the rat) .
2. The need of a House Maid (85%) (you can use a smart microwave for cooking, smart washing machine for your clothes)
3.The need of a remote control (90%)
4.The need of a bulb (smart bulbs ti take over )

1. Augumented reality: hololens rules this arena. with this sweet tech you could take students on a real life virtual tour around the white house right there on school ground like it was built there

2. Reusable rockets: few people know about this innovation by spaceX, even those who know dont realize how awesome it is; Reusable Rockets currently saves the US hundreds of millions of dollars for space flight and i projected to save up to 20 billion dollars yearly on space flight.

3. Auto-cyber Fare: yes its powered by AI but its worth mentioning; this new concept was invented by DARPA last year, and there is a whole competition containing the geekiest to creating the best ACF system

4. Hyper-loop: this concept for the fastest human transport invented by tesla and spaceX CEO, Elon Musk. its all you can ever imagine when it comes to speed! i mean this tech can get you from calabar to sokoto in just 1 hour.

5. DNA Data Storage: i love this one.


innovation lives on http://olagsfark..com

Nice one bro

Does my gionee m5 have VR features

certainly

winterfell007:
Artificial intelligence and future robotics, u think they are exciting? Carry on with the delusion. The world is increasingly disregarding human labour adopting robotics as the newest labour force. Reminds me of the film Will Smith acted: 'I Robots'.

Have u asked ur self, where will our children work in the future, if we keep relying on Robots for everything we do. U think this 'exciting' future is gonna make our lives easier and better, Naijatechguy i'm sorry it gonna complicate not only how we work, but also how we interact with each other as humans.
Wake up, this is a crisis waiting to happen

Before bottling companies started using machines to produce drinks, it was always done by humans. Now all humans do in the bottling companies is just to control the machines. There will always be the need for humans. How about doctors that treat robots in the future. The future is a double edged sword. One for the good side and the other for the bad side. We have no choice but to embrace it.

Looks interesting, how do I cop it?

you have to wait till it's launched. Google up Privat smartphone you can order it from their website

obidevine:
Op, nice article, I beg to deviate a little, I need your advice, I'm an avid blackberry fan because of its security features, I surf the Internet a lot and while surfing you know I could mistakenly click on a corrupt website, blackberry offers me that security I need so that my phone doesn't get " infected". I'm currently using a blackberry passport silver edition and as you know by June 30th this year whatsapp won't be a feature on this my phone anymore, so please I need your advice on what android phone I can get that offers maximum security. NB: blackberry just released a new Android phone named BlackBerry Keyone, it's still a bit pricey for now about 500 pounds,and it's not in Nigeria yet. Please advice me. Thanks.

There's a new smartphone that'll be released on the Indiegogo Platform. Privat. Its a secure device. There's a link to get the phone with a $25 discount on my site. Here's the link -

Are you not enjoying the free Facebook. Don't be ungrateful.

nobody is being ungrateful here.

henryobinna:
While VR has a bright future I don't see so much about it, unless it'll be centered on Entertainment.

And about drones... Do you know it's almost illegal to fly a drone in Nigeria?

How You Can Limit The Internet access Of Appz To savr data

I still wonder why they made drones illegal. There are different kinds of drones , war drones are not as small and portable as the ones used at home or in the field.

Totally wrong. This is your own list

jworos:
That's how a friend was testing his drone on a field in a school, security persons of the school hold an say him Na Boko Haram, he had to start explaining himself.
Naija!!!

lol Naija get issues. .. I think even FAAN placed a policy on drones

Source - http://www.naijatechguy.com/2017/06/7-tech-innovations-that-will-change.html

The future is seemingly becoming more of a sci-fi movie. Nevertheless, each invention is taking a vital step in shaping our world. In this post I'll be listing out 7 innovations that will ultimately shape and revolutionize the future as we know it.

1. Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is one of the key innovation that'll change how we use our smartphones and computers. In ATMs of the future, you'll be able to withdraw cash by simply communicating verbally with the machine. Security will be top notch. I'm guessing it's going to be Iris scanning that'll will be the next level of security. Apart from use of A.I in banks it can basically do almost everything for you with IOT (Internet Of Things) .

These IOT devices can indefinitely change your life. You could ask the robots in your home to clean up the house, wash your clothes and do almost everything you request. It's just a matter of time. I do hope the Japanese scientists don't get to finish up the sex-robots else we'll be seeing another sexuality coming up soon - "The Robosexuals". It's weird enough that people are already doing things with animals and people of the same sex now we'll be seeing humans and machines. A.I is quite broad so I can't possibly cover everything under it. Oh well.. Let's keep our fingers crossed.


2. Virtual Reality
Virtual reality is the next big thing. Companies like Samsung, HTC, Sony and Facebook are already competing to be the king of virtual reality in the world. Virtual reality will ultimately change how we watch movies and TV shows. Imagine you're watching a horror movie with a VR headset. I'm pretty sure that the level of horror would be at an almost realistic level unlike when you're just watching it on the TV screen. It'll also change gaming as well. The only thing I'm scared of is that VR maybe used as a weapon of war. You may just buy a war game to play without knowing that your actions are being replicated by a machine in one country. Every person you take down in the game is actually murdered in real life. Hopefully VR won't move towards that direction.


3. Chatbots
Chatbots may be the end of customer care service. These bots are getting quite intelligent and smarter as everyday goes by. I've tried creating a Chatbot and trust me with the available tools, the bot was able to perform specific tasks and respond to certain queries.

Chatbots may replace customer care agents as they would probably be able to respond to queries very quickly without compromise. There'll be nothing like an employee replying badly to you when you call them on phone but this may actually turn out to be one of the worst innovations if it actually replaces humans. Our smartphones are already making us text more and talk less. Chatbots will even make us text more and talk to machines more.


4.Wearables
There are already a couple of wearables in the market and so far they've been nothing less than amazing. There are wearables that let women know when they're going to be pregnant, wearables that help people monitor sleep, wearables that monitor your health status and more. I'd say wearables will impact the health sector more than any other sector of the world.

Ultimately wearables will be able to tell you when it's time to take your drugs and even suggest particular drugs based on the analysis it gets after checking your body condition and status. In terms of security, it may be used to track criminals. I'm already typing like I'm writing a sci-fi movie . Let's be real here, if I had told you in 1987 though I wasn't even existing by then.. That there'll be cars that drive themselves, you'll probably suggest that I go to a psychiatrist to get myself checked. So no matter how impossible this seems, it's very possible.


5. Drones

Drones are also one of the new tech trends. In future, Drones might help you cover entire events and programs saving you the cost of calling a photographer or camera man. The major problem with Drones I've seen so far is that the battery's don't last more than a couple of hours but before then I hope it'll be fixed. Drones can also help deliver products effectively. It could be delivering blood samples to doctors or even delivering products you ordered. Although, I'm quite skeptical about using drones when ordering from Jumia in the future.

I might just order a device to be delivered to Lekki and probably while the drone is flying over Ojuelegba one Agbero brings down the drone. It won't be funny seriously. Well I do hope the Drones can fly at a high altitude to avoid occurrences like that.


6. Web Assembly.
Javascript has been constantly accused of making websites slow but Web assembly aims to change all that. Web Assembly is a faster way of rendering websites on browsers.
WebAssembly is a highly touted effort that not only is set to run web apps in the browser at near-native speeds but also allow for other languages to be used for browser programming beyond Javascript
WebAssembly provides fast load times for large codes and high performance. This will enable developers to bring functionality and experiences to the web that might have otherwise been gated on JavaScript. Since WebAssembly can be used as a library from JavaScript, JavaScript developers can utilize WebAssembly's performance through libraries and frameworks.


7. Live Streaming

Live streaming is already available and we've seen how it connects us with our favorite celebrities. Now imagine combining live streaming in VR. You would be able to be in the same place with the person live streaming the video in VR. There are a lot of possibilities once live streaming is involved. You could join a live conference from the comfort of your home, attend a live lecture from anywhere in the world. Live Streaming will ultimately change how we connect with people.

That's my top 7 list of things that'll change the future. Did I miss anything? please use the comment box. I'd love to know what you think

This is quite interesting. Mark too like Money .. Btw. What happened to Linda Ikeji Social.. Is she still competing with Facebook

I think Linda Ikeji Social is still running.

And Apple is confused whether to switch to AMOLED or continue with LCD.

they may end up switching to AMOLED

brandydaniells:
what of tecno and gionee.infinix

tecno and Infinix definitely LCD. Gionee devices can come with either screen types.

you wan lie Abi? You said TV somewhere there.
Make I point am?

I only used it as an example.

I think Alexa does that automatically. Here's mine

donhils:
AMOLED is the way to go. By mere looking at 2 phones with AMOLED and LCD IPS displays, you could tell that the AMOLED one looks stunning with vibrant colours.
Well done Samsung for Super AMOLED displays on smartphones.

Samsung does pretty well on Amoled and LG does well on LCD..

sseunth:
I have been a fan on samsung phones. They have mad display.
