Is Android O worth the Talk?

There some features in new Android Oreo that might be quite different from the previous Android OS. 1) Background Activities Numerous background activities keep running that usually drain battery. Android O might be changing how these activities use battery by limiting them. 2) Picture in Picture You will now be able to watch videos on a small virtual screen while finishing up on a task. In a way, great way to multitask. 3) Notification channels and dots Users will be able to change behaviour of channels through app notifications. You can restrict what is relevant to you. 4) Autofill APIs Still struggling with autofill? Well, seems Android just listened to you. You will now be able to access all password managers much easier when the operating system works with the third party apps to ease password and other information used in third party apps.

How far have electric cars gone?

There has been a fresh breath for most road users. But how good are electric cars as their existence continues to take on. Many questions have been asked over the past few years over the existence of electric cars. How far can the electric car go? Why is there advice from experts on charging the electric car and boiling water at the same time bad enough? These questions and more shall continue to be asked until the electric car can surely suit many users.

Who Are The Serious Premier League Contenders?

With transfer speculation still on, many may argue that there is still business to be done. But straight at it, I believe there only 4 strong contenders for the English premier league this season. The Manchester clubs no doubt, Chelsea and Tottenham. Of these, I still believe Chelsea are the strong favorites because the simply know how to grind out results even while under pressure. The team has stuck together even amidst a lot of Costa talk and speculation on the manger' s future and board decisions. Man City have a great squad but I don't think they can match up Chelsea's winning mentality. The same applies to Man United, they have had a good couple of preseason games and great league games so far but that won't be enough. Mid way the season, the leaks are more likely to show up for a non consistent starting squad and many games to be played domestically and Europe. Spurs on the other hand still look the great Tottenham from last season but perhaps lack of great impro

Is Africa Being Given The Attention They Deserve?

Africa has been isolated for a long time. Despite all the terrorism, bloodshed, poverty, insecurity and disease. A lot of attention is mainly focused on Europe and America giving Africa little attention. When terrorism attacks, insecurity and alarming situations happen, most focus is instead lit on first world countries and focus is always on them. Yet many people ate suffering in Africa as well. Relief aid comes in but the attention the world gives to Africa is inferior as it would have been the opposite for foreign countries. We believe in a whole world and global village. Alot has been said and done but its only now that it counts. We ought to forget the past and believe that Africa will not be inferior for long. Its people are rising and with time, this will be solved. Equality and freedom is the prayer of a young helpless child down in the Southern Sahara.

New Tech Opportunities in Africa

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are transforming Africa. Across the continent, new startup digital enterprises are emerging, while existing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly leveraging ICTs to expand. Intensified use of ICTs presents Africa’s SMEs with opportunities in virtually every sector as well as room to create jobs. The pace of transformation across Africa, however, is slow and one of the major barriers is poor ICT infrastructure. A number of countries are reaping the benefits of greater digital penetration but others are watching from the sidelines. In Kenya for example, the M-Pesa mobile money disruption has enabled many SMEs to be more efficient.

Some Tech Influencers We Know and Don't

1) Jack Dorsey Of course without this man, we wouldn't be tweeting the good and ugly stuff on social media. A brain child of this great platform we all grew to love. 2) Mark Zuckerberg Technology gave birth to one of its own children. Well, a very inspiration man and popular for Facebook. Also a popular figure on Instagram which Facebook owns as well. 3) Elon Musk Talk about Electric cars and Space and see whether you may survive without this guy's name. He has taken the world by storm. Many planning to take that trip to Mars very soon. He is also CEO Tesla Motors. 4) Robert Scoble Not much can be said about him but at least you all should know that he is a tech evangelist and a blogger. 5) Kara Swisher Why would tech improve without women? Here is one woman who makes it better through tweeting about women in tech, politics and current affairs. 6) Guy Kawasaki He once worked for Apple back in the day. He is now a tech evangelist for Canva, a graphical design pro

Africa is Rebuilding its Walls.

Now or Never Africa is finally showing off its great potential. Many investors have left America and Europe and have seen a great potential and great market in Africa. Africans have to wake up and realize that the land is rich and fertile. The people are young and energetic. The women are strong and productive. The men are hardworking and supportive. Together we can make Africa great. African leaders can not hold this vision anymore. They have disappointed us by greed and corrupt minds. A great Africa begins with its citizens. We believe a united Africa is a better Africa. Let's take charge now and work harder than ever for this mighty continent. This is a continent chosen by God to be special and unique.

What Now?

Just when you thought the world is done with new ideas, that's when you get to hear of a new innovation. Just when you think that you can't improve what's already existent, someone else goes on to prove its worth. Simple principle here, nothing is done and dusted yet. Change is inevitable. Today's success stories may turn into tomorrow's failures. A million ideas are out there untapped. How about using all the available resources to implement then. Amazon started as an online book platform. The power of thinking is greater than self. An idea can rebirth a whole nation. Opportunists are also on the verge of stealing great ideas from people they consider weak and poor, well, which they do most of the time. Its about standing your ground and working with people you think can help the vision grow.

Music to the ears.

VAR a thing of mixed emotions.

With the Video Assistant Referee(VAR), errors will be a thing of the past maybe. During the recent confederations cup 2017, many eyebrows were raised with this system.  As if that was just the start of it, we shall have a chance of witnessing another teat during the FA cup third round. It has been designed to adjudicate only an error made by the match referee, so diving players may have to find other means of winning some battles on the field. All top flight leagues around the world but most Europe will be the first experimenters of this adventure. One of the questions perhaps would be whether the replays could be showed at the same time during review for the fans and players on stadium screens. This puts referees in the spotlight in case of any misjudgments and tough calls made. All eyes will gage whether the VAR could fully end erroneous decision making and take away that part of the game that keeps it exciting enough like how we have all been used to in the past or it will be a

Android O- Excitement for the next Android version

Android O was first released as an alpha quality developer preview on March 21, 2017. The beta release was on May 17, 2017. A third and forth were released on June 8, 2017 and July respectively. Notifications can be snoozed and batched into topic based groups known as channels. Custom ringtone, alarm or notification sound are all simplified. The operation system known as Android-Go will be used on all devices with 1 GB of RAM or less. For all the emoji lovers, Android O supports new emoji that will be included in the Unicode 10 standard. The font designs its face figures to use a traditional circular shape unlike the blob design in KitKat. We are all amazed by some new fixes that Android users have been yearning for. This is the right time for a perfect answer.

Talking Robotics

Robotics are a new dimension into the future. They have done most of the tasks and work humans would still be performing. However, when it comes to performing human activity like sexual performances and pleasure, I wouldn't agree to this in any way. Its more like humans having sexual encounters with machines something that perhaps had been around with the dildos and other forms of sexual objects. Robots should mainly focus on engineering , medical and other science innovations that don't include sexual fantasies.

Tech Preview

Elon Musk wants to reinvent the solar technology. With his new idea of having solar tech as a need, there are definitely many people who will benefit, but also many will lose. On the good side, there might just be talk of adopting to solàr energy and tech. A cheaper way of production for manufacturing companies and big business giants.

Social Media over Websites

Social media is the standard currently with this current internet age. There was a thing about Websites that made them highly appreciated and all information on the web was mainly found on sites. Well, that's all history. We witnessing a heavy revolution that is heating us hard. Especially for the IT specialists who had web as the thing. Its only Social media through out. And it won't stop anytime soon. There should be a way out of reviving Websites but I guess there is a master plan that could take people back to the old reality of where it all started.
