Your Portal to the Internet

Our technology already worked wonders nowadays. Devices (or gadgets) that were for the "special ones" becomes utilities for the commoners. These things are not anymore special. They are just similar to a scissor the leather worker uses or a frying pan a cook uses. I am referring to the electronic equipments or devices such as computers, tablets, smartphones, and other mobile Internet devices. Anything that connects you to the Internet is considered as your "doorstep", "portal", or "entry" to the world wide web.

It all starts in your knowledge of the gadgets your got. Since the "utilities" I mentioned are personal to you, it is wise and decisive to know what those got and what they are doing.  Using computers, smartphones and other mobile Internet devices should be similar on how you manages your other assets (or liabilities) likes cars, houses, etc. In your car (if you have car), you are expected to know the insides and outs of it like where does the transmission located, where is the key slot, or even where is the engine. These tiny little things are specific moves for you to know, identify and ultimately, personalize the car.  Similarly, gadgets should be treated this way. You must know it inside and out, from hardware to the software inside it. If we practice these simple run through of the device, you could personalize it to suit your needs and know what it does and how it could benefit you. A mobile internet device or a computer would be a tool for your productivity OR a device that could wreck havoc to your privacy.

Have a happy Internet hour.
