How to Enjoy Technological Gadgets

 

Technology evolves everyday and unless you are a geek or technophile, it can be rather challenging to keep up with the new innovations constantly making entry into the
market.

Nevertheless, even with tech addiction, you can still be shrewd or frugal at the same time. To make this feasible,we shares some ideas which will tremendously help you enjoy technology without breaking the bank!

Avoid early adoption

When a device is newly introduced into the market, there is a very high possibility that the price or cost will be very high. You will be spending so much money on the device if you are an early adopter. If you are so keen on buying the device, you can leave a months or two intervals so that the price for the product can crash. You will save a significant amount if you are able to pull this off.

Stop impulse buying

The popularity of e-commerce business in Nigeria and other parts of the world has largely encourages impulse buying. Immediately a product is released, you can buy it immediately online hours after the release or you see a nice tech gadget, you purchase it. In order to save money, stay away from impulse buying.

Buy durable and long lasting device

Many rate price over quality. This is why they prefer to buy cheap devices with little or no quality. As a result of the low quality, they repeatedly buy the same product because it is not durable. Why not simply gather enough money and buy quality, durable and long-lasting devices?

Buy Fairly used devices  

Some may probably not like this because they have a knack to brand new devices. You should ask yourself whether you can afford the brand new device or not? There is nothing wrong with fairly used. The important thing is that you should not buy on the streets. Afterwards, it behooves on you to ensure that the device is in proper condition.   

Fix It Yourself  

It is not compulsory for you to become an overnight technician because you want to repair your device. However, there is nothing wrong with making an attempt to repair your damaged phone. Essentially, if you know that you cannot repair it yourself, you should send to your friends for repair. Do just walk anywhere and deliver your phone to anyone. You may even be lucky, the phone may still on warranty.  

Take advantage of discounts, deals, and coupons

Online stores offer discounts on various devices available on their platforms. So, rather than buying at a physical store, you can buy online where you can get mouthwatering deals, discounts, and coupons.

Quick ways to transfer files between your PC and smartphone

In time past, transferring files like videos, photos and music could take forever. However, with the advancement in technology, you can move large files within minutes without worrying about how

long it with take. For the technology 'novice' as well as the tech geek, we bring to you the fastest and quickest ways to exchanges files between your personal and your smartphone.

Bluetooth

This is the most used way to transfer file between devices including your PC and your phone. It is very simple to use. The user simply turn-on the Bluetooth of both devices, pair them and then select the documents, music, picture or video you want to send.  You can send as many files you want  at the same time. Also, ensure that you turn on the visibility of your Bluetooth to make it discoverable.

Card readers  

When you buy a memory card (8GB, 16GB, 32 GB and 64GB), it is usually accompanied by a card reader. It is in this card reader that you insert your SD card which enables you to move files between your PC and your phone. You save the files you want to transfer in your memory card with your phone. Afterwards, insert the memory card in your card reader, and insert into the memory card space of your PC. Open the card reader on your PC and cut or copy your desired files from the memory card.

WiFi

It is also possible for you to transfer files through your wireless network also known as Wi-Fi. You can do this if your computer is connected to a network. In addition to this, you must  download WiFi app ShareIt which you can get on Google Play Store. The app makes it easy to setup a wireless network.

NFC connection

Near Field Communication (NFC) is fast catching up with Bluetooth as many smartphones now come with this technology. NFC may not be as fast as Bluetooth but it is very reliable as it provides secure data transfer. To make the transfer possible, both devices have to be touch with  each other.

USB cable

This is even easier to use than Bluetooth. You connect a compatible USB cable with your phone and computer. Allow your computer some few minutes to recognize the cable. When this is  done, you can choose and move any file  you want to transfer 

Top 4 Social media scams to avoid

Top 4 Social media scams to avoid

Social media rules the world. It is the new tech addiction that many young people cannot do without as they spend hours viewing, reading and posting content via the internet. This underscores the importance of social media in today's world. As the use of social media rises, there are others out there who are using it to swindle and scam unsuspecting users.

Fake customer service account

Brands and corporate organizations are now on social media as such, it has become possible to resolve complaints and get a quick response to questions on social media. Some of these accounts representing corporate institutions are verified while others are not. Hence, the possibility of chatting with a parody customer service handle is high. If you are getting an unsatisfactory response, you should  contact their official helpline.

Comments on popular posts or articles

A particular post or article may generate sizeable comments. And among the comments, you will notice some links directing you to other websites. These links lure you to websites that are either unsafe or offering scandalous services so it is better to ignore such links.

False online discounts

The false discounts are too fantastic to be true. It is not surprising because it is coming from a parody customer service account. They are not legitimate and you can lose your personal information if you fall for it because you will be asked to fill out forms that require your personal information.

Online surveys and polls

The rule of thumb is ‘if you do not trust the website, do not visit it’. One of the easiest ways to have your  personal information stolen is via online survey and polls. Most fraudulent hackers often tweet or post a dangerous link urging users to complete forms for a survey. You can fill the forms but do not give out information like credit card details.

Avoid live streaming videos

This is another way of scamming people on social media as more media companies start streaming their shows and movies online. But these links they share on social media lead to fake websites which only ask for data of visitors.

Airtel seals partnership deal with Apple on iPhone 5s

One of the leading telecommunications services providers in Nigeria, Airtel Nigeria, has sealed a strategic partnership with leading mobile phone maker, Apple, to officially unveil the iPhone 5s in Nigeria.

With this development, Airtel becomes the first mobile telecommunications services provider in Nigeria to officially seal a partnership deal with Apple.

The partnership is expected to offer telecoms consumers across the country an opportunity to purchase the iPhones in Airtel showrooms nationwide or from the outlets of its channel/retail partners including Slot.

Speaking during an event to unveil the iPhone 5s in Lagos, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Airtel Nigeria, Segun Ogunsanya, described the company’s partnership with Apple as the coming together of two great brands, saying the partnership is a demonstration of Apple’s trust in Airtel and indeed in Nigeria.

He added that the partnership underscores Airtel’s unwavering commitment to its vision of becoming Nigeria’s number 1 mobile Internet service provider.

“At Airtel Nigeria, we believe that the future of mobile telephony is mobile Internet and so we are repositioning to revolutionize this landscape with innovative value offerings and strategic partnerships.

“Our partnership with Apple is a glowing testimony to our desire to lead with Internet. Our enviable track record also provides us a leverage to empower more Nigerians to enjoy super-fast Internet services on their devices and mobile phones on the Airtel network,” he said.

He noted that Airtel is currently embarking on a wide-scale expansion, modernization and transformation of its network.

“Our goal is to ensure that telecoms consumers enjoy the best experience on VOICE, VISUAL and VIDEO as they engage and connect with friends and family members as well as transact their businesses on the Airtel network,” he said.

The iPhone 5s is described by telecoms pundits as the most forward-thinking smartphone in the world. iPhone 5s sets a precedent, with an amazing amount of technology in a remarkably thin, light design.

It builds on that achievement with Touch ID — a fingerprint identity sensor. An A7 chip with 64-bit architecture. An even more impressive iSight camera. And ultrafast LTE wireless.
