How to clean a Touchscreen Correctly

This is named as a secondary issue for many computer, tablet and smart phone users. The curse of the greasy, oily, smudged and fingerprint covered screen is something that most touchscreen users are aware of.



So do you know HOW exactly to clean your touchscreen?

•  Get a Micro fiber cloth or an optical cloth
  
  
  
  This material is specially designed to drive the grease, make-up, fingerprints and whatnot off your touchscreen without making any scratches.
  
  Some devices will be with a micro fiber/ optical cloth by default. Unless, you can take the cloth you use to clean your eye glasses. OR, you can buy one from an optical store or from your phone outlet itself.
   
• Turn off you device before starting to clean
  
  
  
  It is better to switch off your device. So that, it will be easy for you to spot where to clean. And, if your device is switched on, chances are you will accidentally tap icons displayed on the screen. So, why take risks?
  
  
• Brush your phone in small circles
  
  
  
  Using a circular motion, buff the dirt, grime, or bacteria off the screen. The cloth will get rid of everything.
  
  For tougher jobs, go on with this basis :
  
  
  1. Say you have dropped jam or butter from your sandwich, or some other dirt.
  2. Take a little bit of warm water, and a tiny drop of dish soap (like the size of an ant).
  3. Dip a tiny little corner of your optical cloth and buff out the area with jam or other dirt and use the dry part of the cloth to just wipe it off and buff it dry. (exactly, using a circular motion)
     
     WARNINGS!
     
  • Anytime you buy an eyeglass cleaning kit, a phone cleaning kit, it's containing one of these:
    
    1. Soap and water OR
    2. Rubbing alcohol and water
    Save your money. Because, you can make them at home.
  •   To clean your micro fiber cloth; soak it in warm water with dish soap. Scrub the material lightly while soaking it (not too hard, so you'll end up with a messy cloth). After soaking, avoid squeezing out any excess water, let the cloth out to air dry or blow dry.

How to avoid Internet Addiction

• Know that you're addicted

 

Well, too much internet time is considered to be, Internet addiction. Knowing stuff makes you powerful. Likewise, you should first know whether or not you're an internet junkie. Chances to use internet are, when you do a research on whatnot, creating ideas to your individual project, watching some videos on youtube regarding your chemistry lesson, or whatsoever. Thinking of those tasks, you open your web browser and if your first tab is "Facebook", "Google plus", "Yahoo" or some other not essential websites, you know what your addiction is.

• You're not the only person with this issue
  
                  
  
  Knowing your weakness is better than neglecting it anyway. Once you notice your addiction, don't be embarrassed because, you are not the only one with this matter. More and more people are getting addicted to internet, it's just unstoppable.
  
  
• Create a Plan to prevent internet addiction
  
  
  
  Plan your week. Allocate time to reach your goals. Study your subjects and don't forget to reward yourself. Only after you're finished with your work, you will surf the internet, eat and watch TV. Likewise, control your thoughts and you'll be controlling your mind, the most powerful source in universe. Make worth use of it.There's a saying,

  "I don't stop when I'm tired
  I stop when I'm done"

  Once you get home after school, complete your homework and study today's work. And your bonus reward; you will feel better knowing you've finished your homework early. If can, read books or research at the library instead of browsing internet for information.  
  
  
• Get a hobby which take you out of internet
   
  Join a sports club (swimming, badminton, cricket or any other sport you prefer). If you are a reader, join a public library. If you have music running inside your veins, learn to play an instrument (piano, guitar, violin). If you love gardening, turn your garden into a butterfly paradise. If you love photography, travel various places ad enjoy yourself. If you prefer drawing, start to learn new drawing tricks and draw, draw, and draw. Practice makes you perfect. If you are a stamp collector or a coin collector, join a community of your kind and raise you stamp or coin collection way up.
  
  Just involve in something better and natural. Because, when we have a habit, we can't miss it. Avoid even thinking of wasting time surfing internet. Don't lie to yourself.
• Hang out with friends
  
  
  
  During your spare time, don't forget to go to big screen with your best buddies to enjoy a movie. And plan field trips if you prefer traveling. The point I'm making is, enjoy your life with your best friends around you.
  
  Without making instant messages, be used to make calls to your friends. You can even tell your best buddy of your internet addiction problem and he/she'll probably help you out with it.
• Limit social networking
  
  
  This is so very important. Internet junkies often spend a lot of time in social network sites, chatting with people and even making inappropriate relationships. That's completely lunacy. Don't ever replace real relationships with virtual.
  
  That doesn't mean that, Social Networking is bad or unworthy. It is up to you to make correct use of it. Limit your time in Facebook, twitter, MySpace, Google plus and other websites.

  "Don't be a slave of technology.
  Instead,
  Make technology your slave "

  
  
  WARNINGS!
  
  
  1. Don't eat meals in front of your computer.
  2. Limit your internet time. Use an alarm clock or a timer.
  3. Don't lie to yourself. It is a big mistake.
  4. Always, try to calm down and control your mind to do, what you really want to do.

How to create a Strong Password

The weakest link in any security for your online accounts is, the password. If another person lucked out and guess or retrieve your password somehow, they trespass almost every security measure the website has because the website will see them as you!

So it is obvious to create a stronger passwords which are hard to guess or crack. If you feel your password is not secure enough, I hardly recommend you to change it, now or never!

Now, there's a FAQ to be taken place.

HOW?

And that is exactly why you're here. ;)

• Avoid Traditional Passwords
  

 As per the technology evolution, password cracking techniques have being matured quickly. Thus, switching a strong password is very outdated and impractical.

Don't use passwords based on your personal data (That is warning no.1) 
Your name, nick name, wife's name, pet's name, hometown...etc. In fact, those are not passwords at all. Those data are known by any person around you. It's as if you want them to log on to your online accounts. 

And Never use a password based on your username, account name, computer name or email address.

• Use a Password Manager   

 There are plenty of ways to generate a strong password and using a password manager is  the best way yet. Password manager is a software application on your PC or mobile device that creates you stronger passwords and even stores them in a secured database. 

Some popular ones are:

1. 1Password (closed-source, commercial)
2. LastPass (closed-source, free/commercial)
3. Dashlane (closed-source, free/commercial)
4. KeePass (open source, free)
5. RoboForm (closed-source, commercial)
   
   You'll have to install it first to get use of it. If you want any further help, feel free to ask me.

• Try Using Keyboard Patterns
  

Using Keyboard patterns, it will be easy for you to generate uncommon and strong enough passwords. Unauthorized users won't be able to crack it that easy, unless you told them.

• Create a Passphrase instead of a Password 
    
  
  Passphrase is a collection of random words, instead of a single word. But, make sure you remember it.
  Even though they are not much stronger, they're much more secure that traditional passwords.
  
  
  WARNINGS!
  
  
  1. Keep it secret, Keep it safe.
  2. Never use the same password twice.
  3. Don't ever save your password in a web browser.
  4. Don't write down your password. Instead, try to remember it.
  5. Don't change your passwords unless you suspect some hacking.
                  

How to save money as a kid

Have you ever thought of collecting and saving money for yourself? Answer will be YES! but, a this big question would occur...

HOW?

And, That's why you're here. ;)

•   Pocket money is your greatest income
  
  

  

  From where does pocket money come? Exactly, from parents. But you’ll consider how.

1. Money your Mom hands you for your lunch or maybe to buy short eats
2. Money for bus fare

             Yes, but how can I use that money, I’ve already used them. But not again!

Without going to eat fatty-food or candy, which will make you unhealthy, you can keep that money.

             If it’s a short distance, you can go by foot too. It worth more than your bus fare and a super easy way to exercise yourself. Those kept money will make you rich someday.  

• Manage a piggy bank for yourself

 
             As a youngster you must have a till or a coin collector by now. It’s your own bank. And someday, will be your jackpot. You have many ways to add coins to your little bank.

1.     Change from bus fare
2.     Change from the tuck shop
3.     Ask your parents for petty cash

              Your present jackpot is your parents. Ask them for petty cash daily. They’ll be happy knowing that you have learnt to save money.

•  Start a savings account in a local bank 

 

           

           This step needs parents’ assistance. Ask for their help to find a good bank with a favorable interest for children. And start a savings bank then and there.

          That is not enough. You have to maintain your account balance. Once a week or twice a month you can add cash for your back account. 
          And be aware that some banks offer rewards for rich account owners ;) 
 

•  Don’t waste money unnecessarily
  
  
  

  

  
            This one is so very important. You should understand your needs and wants separately like an elder. Try to decrease your wants. Because wants take out your money without your knowledge.                                                                          
  

1. For clothing
2. For accessories
3. Other fancy things
4. Junk food and drinks

                   Advice yourself not to go for unwanted things but for needy things.

•  Have goals and achieve them
           
  
  

   
            Take a book and write your piggy bank and savings bank account’s balance and budget your next month balance. Simply, have a goal for next month. 
            You can also prefer weekly goals. And show your growth to your parents and they’ll surely reward you.
   
•  If can, sell your old stuff and get a profit  
  
               
  

                
                You can do this with the assistance of your parents. Think of the piles of newspapers you have in your house. You can take the wanted articles and sell remaining newspapers to newspaper shops. And put that money to your bank.
                And, then again the bags containing plastic bottles, ice cream containers and stuff you can return them to respective companies and they’ll give you money. You can think of other ways that will be helpful to grow up your money tree.  
• Help other while you can.
  
  

  

  
            This is the most important thing. There’s a saying;

  “ The more you give

     The more you get  ”

            You can find many needy people around you town. Collect your old but usable clothes, school bags, your childhood books, and other stuff and offer then without any hard feelings. 
            This good habit will do good for you in the end. No doubt of that.

         

•         Don’t waste time

         

                  Remember the golden equation

Time = Money

                  Wasting time means wasting thousands of opportunities to make money, save money. In the other hand, mastering time means, creating thousands of ways to make money, save money.

                  The best investment you to for yourself is,

“Educating yourself”

            Make “studies” your no.1 and other things will be just in order without any effort.

            And that’s what exactly millionaires do. ;) 


WARNINGS!

1.      Money is not bad, if used nicely and wisely
2.      Money is not everything. Don’t lose yourself chasing them.
3.      Expertise your good qualities. No matter what, be YOU!
4.      Don’t give up. Save money. Save your future.
