Life Lessons on Video Gaming.

This post aims to point out and explain life lessons to be learnt from playing video games.

Ever since the advent of video games in the 1940's to the production of the first generation gaming consoles between 1972 to 1977, down to the Eight generation in 2012, an increasing number of children and youths and even adults have been drawn into, and most have remained trapped in the wonderful virtual world of gaming.

Whilst lots of people have become addicted to video gaming, many have failed to realize the Life lessons to be learnt from video gaming.

One of my best video games is Mortal Kombat, and my favourite fighter is Noob Saibot(dark warrior). Inasmuch as playing Mortal Kombat helps develop my reflexes, it has also taught me how to stand out in the real world.

Mortal Kombat is a fighting based video game where you select a unique fighter based on its skills to play against the computer or your friends either locally or remotely(online).

While playing, you use diffent button controls to execute either a block(defence) or to execute an attack. Pressing the controls in a particular sequence executes a special combo attack, with diminishes your opponent's "life" thereby earning you a winning point.

NOTES:
1. There is a different combo sequence for each fighter: Most people in life try to imitate what others are doing, forgetting that what works for a particular person may not work for others. Seek to discover your hidden talents and combine them with a personal touch, and I guarantee you that you will achieve explosive results. You were born an original, please don't die a copy.

2. Each fighter has a unique skill. Sub-zero shoots ice, sektor shoots guided missiles, noob Saibot shoots ghost smoke etc. What skill do you have? Have you exploited your skills lately? Just like sub-zero or noob Saibot cannot easily win without shooting ice or ghost smoke, you may also find it difficult to win in the game of life without exploiting your skills.

3. It takes a good player who can handle the game pad or joystick very well to win the game using any selected fighter.
In whose hands are you? Who is controlling you in this game of life?
God is the greatest "gamer" of all times, and as long as you are in his hands, and he is using and controlling your skills and talents in a perfect combination, you will always emerge a winner in the game of life.

I ask again, in whose hands are you?

Cloud computing service - A DropBox perspective.

This post aims at explaining how to sign up and use a free cloud computing service from Dropbox perspective. There are other free cloud services From Microsoft, Google and even apple. I am only using Dropbox for illustration. (hope you understand *wink*)

For clarity, I will be listing the major steps involved.

1. Goto www.dropbox.com to download the software on your laptop /desktop or goto Blackberry app world to search and download Dropbox to your blackberry or goto apple store to download the Dropbox app to your iPad / iPhone. You can as well download Dropbox to all of your gadgets at once ( after all you,ll be accessing your files from them)
The screen above is from my iPad.

2. Create a free account using your email and any password of your choice (even though you can use your email's password, my advice is : don't use your email's password for security reasons.
The steps involved in creating a free account are very easy compared to Facebook or any email service you are using.

3. You are good to go. Dropbox offers free 2GB data, which is decent if you don't intend loading large files.

To upload any file from your computer, simply drag it to your Dropbox, and it uploads automatically.
Sign in to your Dropbox account from any other device, and you,ll see the files you uploaded. You can then choose to work with it, or send it to your friends or clients.

What is Cloud computing, and how is it Implemented?

Cloud computing seeks to deliver your content on all your mobile devices. It has to do with uploading and access ing your files on the Internet and then sharing them or collaborating on them with others on the Internet.
The term CLOUD simply refers to the Internet.

There are a number of advantages of cloud computing compared to saving your files locally, and these include:

1. Ability to protect your files from local threat like fire, flood, theft, power surges, viruses etc. uploading your files to a password protected cloud service secures and protects your files from these threats.

2. Ability to access those files any where in the world on virtually any device like Smart phones, tablets and computers. With any of these gadgets, you can access all your files remotely and securely.

3. Ability to share your files with others eg. Instead of emailing someone a bunch of videos, pictures or files, you can simply email the link to them. Then can then download Or view them online from the secure cloud service you are using.


DOWNSIDES TO CLOUD COMPUTING
1. Requires Internet connection to work.
2. There's risk associated with data breaches.
3. It can't store data as much as local drives. (unless you pay for larger size)

Some of the current players that offer cloud service are:
1. Microsoft ( skydrive with free 7GB space)
2. Dropbox (with free 2GB space)
3. Apple
4. Google
5. LG
