After
seeing all the wonderful and very important operations that can be done on the
internet, it will be hard to say that a person will not want to get involved
there, getting to join the largest growing network and meet with millions of
persons and also to be disposed to very many new and better ways of doing
things and also discovering ways to making the internet experience more
enjoyable.
In
order to make the time spent on the internet more useful and efficient there
are things that needs to be done so that these advantages might be gained. Some
of such activities might require from us extra work that we have to put into it
to make it worthwhile.
- Personal internet access.
- A web device.
- Power supply.
Some
of the items listed above are very common to all of us, but these items are
very necessary in order to enjoy the beauty that the web space offer.
People
always complain about not having data and many of them usually rely on free
data or hotspot that are provided around them, using free internet can be good
when we are into downloading large amount of data but it is also very necessary
to have an active data plan always available to you because you never know when
the next opportunity will strike.
I
overheard someone talking to his mother that he missed an entry to a meeting
because he was not dressed on the right dress code that was planned out for
that occasion and when asked why he did not put on the required dress he said
that the information was passed on WhatsApp and he never heard of it. In this
growing world of science and technology people now do a lot of talking online and
less talking offline –this however has its bad side effect also- but the main
issues here is that once you are not online you will miss about 60% of useful
information that you are supposed to get.
Now
enough with missing information, what of going to get them yourself, without an
active data plan –remember when I talk of an active data plan I am not talking
of WhatsApp subscription or Facebook subscription- it will be hard for you to
look into certain issues at hand –except you live in a library or you live
inside google- looking for information and solutions to problems has gotten
much easier been that that answer you are looking for is just one click away, you
can get almost the answer to anything that you are looking for on the web but
you can’t go there through a magical portal but through having internet connection and a device that
can access the internet.
I
previously wrote an article concerning the things that one can do on the
internet (you can read it HERE) and
seeing that those things are usually very great and can make someone to really
want to get involved online but without these requirement that are above it
will be quite hard to fulfilled any of those.
The
reason why I added personal to the internet access in the item mentioned above
is because, there is nothing much better than having access to the internet all
the time –so the personal there stands for internet access that can be access
when needed- in Warri there is a saying that says “free food dey hook throat” it
is kind of funny; but relying only on free internet access can be deceptive and
might lead to serious downtime when the need to use it arises.
To
talk about the items mentioned above a little to make others see what
importance that those items offer in order to make the best use out of the
internet.
PERSONAL INTERNET ACCESS
Having
instant access to the internet is a very useful tool when one need to use the
internet, like I stated before that the term personal stands for the fact that the
internet access is available and can always be access when the need arises.
How
do you feel when someone sends you a link on WhatsApp but you cannot open the
link because your data plan only allows you to use the WhatsApp messenger, this
is very common among people these days they buy plans for only social sites like
Facebook, WhatsApp, twitter etc. but these plans has the limitation that they
can only be used on the WhatsApp app or the likes, with this data plan it is
impossible to do other things online and this can be really a hindrance when someone
sends you a link or you stumble upon an amazing offer, you will immediately
find yourself in a handicap position and sometimes it will be quiet funny to
explain to the sender what we are facing so we look up for other excuses.
If
you only use the free Wi-Fi services that is been provided by the train station
or your school or the cafeteria, how will you cope when you are out of range to
those services it means you will be totally useless and unavailable when you
are not in those places and need to use the internet, and this can really be a
bad sign for an internet user which will ultimately lead to lot of downtimes in
our schedule. When we have access to constant use of free internet services
there is a tendency that we will be extravagant in our use of the internet and
also the tendency for us to lose focus of the aim why we came online, so having
a data subscription that we subscribed for is also a god way to build the habit
of using the internet for the right purpose because we will not go using our
mobile data anyhow because it is of a limited size.
Among
all these the greater purpose of having a personal data subscription is –not to
show off that we are rich kids- but it is to increase our uptime when working
and also to very be efficient when using the internet. Just imagine that you just
came back from school around 8pm and your friend sent you a WhatsApp message
that the deadline for the assignment is 12midnight and the only way for you to
access the internet is through the school Wi-Fi services, what are you going to
do; it is either you run back to school or you beg somebody around you to lend
you some of his data through hotspot and these can be a serious downtime most especially
if you have not done the assignment, because you will have no means to research
online for the answers or to even submit the completed work, Just imagine if it
was a job application or a scholarship application that had you in that
position, and how will you feel if eventually you miss that offer.
A WEB DEVICE
There’s
is not much to say here but you can’t access the internet through an internet modem
or just by having access to a Wi-Fi connection. You will need a device that has
the capacity to access the internet which include a hard ware device like a pc
or a smart phone and also a software which include the internet browser and the
likes of it. There are many apps that have been built to enable the use of the internet
better for some sites; like using the Facebook mobile app is better than using Facebook
directly through the web, and other apps like this.
When
using a laptop or desktop browser there are usually web browser add-ons that
enable the user do certain function to make the experience better like translator,
a snipping device for screen shot etc.
Depending
on your usage of the internet and your purpose there this will greatly affect the
hardware and the software that you will need for these purpose, so to make sure
you have the best experience always use the best tools for the job.
POWER SUPPLY
This
is very simple to see. There is no electronic device that can produce power on
its own, and there is nothing in an electronic device that uses power more than
an active wireless connections –Wi-Fi, data connection, hotspot, Bluetooth etc.
– and the device backlight. So if you are going to be using the internet for a long
time or using the internet continuously then be sure to be plugged in this is to prevent your device shutting down when the power
runs out which will create a very long downtime for you and your client or recipient.
When working online and enjoying what we are doing there, we should also pay
close attention to our battery power so as to know when to reduce the stress on
the battery or take on control measure to increase the battery time, there are
now apps that helps to tell us when we are using too much power and also when
our power is low and also provide suggestions in order for us to increase
battery life this is a great asset to those that use these services a lot, because
the easiest thing that can happen to you online is to get immersed in what you
are doing there and then forget about the world outside, so be conscious of
your power because you can’t browse with a dead phone that contains 10gb of
internet data.
In
all these the most important factor when using the internet is the person involved, because without a
clear mind and a focus at heart you will achieved little or nothing when you go
online because the place is crowded with a lot of activities.
So
you can fall back to our previous articles to see what can be done there and
also to know how to make better use it.
