Afonjafucker:You're right to some extent but I'm still not convinced. You're simply a part of the 5% of Internet users who use it responsibly, what happens to the remaining 95%?.. At this point I can't classify my points as invalid or inconsequential. |
babyfaceafrica:how many people have drowned?? |
eyinjuege:I agree with you but it doesn't change the fact that there are two sides of the coin. Everything good has a bad side. |

oodua1stson:looking back at things we've posted is always funny.. Especially when there's nothing bad there. How about people who lost access to their accounts and there are some compromising posts on their accounts. Trust me they wouldn't want their data to be brought up in the future. Let's say a kid is eager to know more about his mum and looks her up on Facebook and sees indecent stuffs he's not meant to see. I agree that each generation has its vices but details of ours is more accessible than other previous generations. |
Bahddo:I don't Underestimate the power of technology. If you check my post well, I'm writing from the "Family" point of view. Don't tell me you haven't seen pictures of your grandparents or parents when they were kids. Oh I guess their pictures meant nothing to you.. The trend continues. You expect those in the future to automatically remove filters from your photos with augmented reality or VR, though it's possible but Did you have to remove filters to see your dad's picture as a youth. The useless amount of data we're leaving is too much. Let me remind you even in 2017 the past years still matter. The same way 2017 will matter in years to come. History is an essential part of humanity, technology cannot do without it. It's as simple as that. |

You don't need to remind me of the article I wrote on how artificial intelligence may end up running our lives. This time It's social media. I'm certainly not technophobic... At least to the best of my knowledge. I don't have to depend on some archaic piece of tech to write my posts. That said, let's get rolling. Of all the tools available to keep track of the past, social media could prove the most detrimental. Let's take Instagram for example. Imagine having to explain to your children why an image that was taken in 2017 has the same desaturated colors as the one taken in 1970. The picture is essentially a copy of one they might see from generations earlier, taken by your grandparents and featuring your mum or dad as kids. The worst is Snapchat... "Hey Kids, that's your grandma on the night I met her, don't bother about the dog ears, nose, and tongue. Wasn’t she beautiful?. For thousands of years, humans relied on spoken word as a means to pass stories from one generation to the next. Later, communication progressed to information written on scrolls and rock, audio recordings, and then video. Now, we have the means to preserve each of these in our pocket.. The impact of this is humongous. Each person with a smartphone now has the means to create a historical archive, and can do that with every image, video, or status update. And aside from all the ways we’re messing up historical archives with dog-eared lenses and Instagram filters, we haven’t even touched on the bigger issue: the massive amount of data we’re leaving future generations. On Facebook alone, users upload more than 350 million photos a day. Twitter sees around 500 million new tweets daily — that’s around 6,000 per second. And it’s not really the amount of data that's the problem; it’s the lot's of useless information we’re leaving. I feel bad for future historians that will invariably have to make a proper analysis to get an accurate view of our history. |
Nigeria Vs Naija. The only issue is that Nigeria tends to make the domain name longer. Naija is short all though it's normally confused with 9ja. If you're targeting an international audience use Naija as some of the foreign people won't understand it. Most Non Nigerians would start having trust issues at the sight of your domain if you're using Nigeria. Better Still avoid the whole Naija and Nigeria stuff if you're not convinced |

Powerbanks help a lot, especially in a country where there's no steady power supply but on several occasions these life savers have turned to weapons of mass destruction. Here's how a powerbank could have killed my roommate. It was a cool evening, I just finished talking to a friend on the phone. I was conversing with my roommate outside. A few minutes later he went inside the room to get his phone before I could say Jack Robinson, I heard the sound of an explosion as he fled from our room faster than gala sellers that haven't been paid, flinging the gate open as he fled for his dear life. This happened in a matter of milliseconds or nanoseconds. I was shocked. This was the culprit : https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FpVs6rA7HTg/WRDJjb4giJI/AAAAAAAAIpE/c7fVDHAvp247av6npYkALvvZ-VnxodMMACHM/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg Different thoughts ran through my mind. Could there be someone in the room? Or did he see a ghost?....There was no power at the moment so it wasn't a socket sparking. Well, I'm not the superstitious kind so I ruled out the possibility of him seeing a ghost. I went outside the gate along with a couple of our lodge mates who were startled by the sound. The reason for his escapade was a powerbank that exploded in the room. He was trying to pick up his phone from the table and the powerbank which was just beside his phone just exploded in front of him. The powerbank in question just costs N1,500. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fTtFsAnwLpU/WRDJm0KluZI/AAAAAAAAIpI/pE4np8SaPLgr2UTxRgAVxn1-h5h7pJIJACHM/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-T5EqFvKl0XU/WRDJz5le-LI/AAAAAAAAIpU/i6X27hQSSQ8NmY3bvgJNMq52aa_r7S20QCHM/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg I tried to understand the different things that could have happened. He could have been injured badly on his right hand or his face would have been burnt, the former would affect him badly since we're writing our first semester exams. Now the ultimate question is : Why would a power bank explode all of a sudden?. I decided to make some research and here's what I could come up with. 1.) Wrong Circuit Design: The internal circuit design of the power bank can also be another likely cause of explosion. For a power bank a good circuit should have Power protection( a mechanism that ensures that the battery stops charging once it has reached full capacity), Short circuit control and temperature control. If it doesn't have any of the above features, the chances of explosion is higher. 2.) Poor Battery Quality Batteries are the most expensive parts of a powerbank. Most of the power banks found in the market are made from either Lithium-ion or Lithium-Polymer batteries, though the lithium-ion is a cheaper option. Most Manufacturers in a bid to keep prices down tend to use Lithium- ion batteries to save costs. In the worst case scenarios, they go to the extent of using recycled batteries which increases the chances or likeliness of explosion at a later time. 3.) Improper Usage Exposing power banks to high temperatures or humidity can cause explosions. Overcharging of power banks is wrong. Also spilling water on it or leaving it near a heated area, like under the sun can cause explosions. |

The most anticipated Samsung smartphone is here and it was launched yesterday in Lagos. Here are some photos from the event. The Samsung phone will cost above N100,000, I'm not yet sure of the exact price but it should be hitting online stores and other smartphone stores in a couple of days

2shure:Sometimes you should learn to keep your stupidity private. Do you think my blog is focused on only things that's happening In Nigeria. I wrote an article and you said it's copy and paste because you're too dumb to understand anything there. If you don't have anything reasonable to say. Shut the f*ck up |
