Try the millenium bug! http://iliadeodysee.com/2009/06/20/need-something-to-be-afraid-try-the-millenium-bug/ http://iliadeodysee.com/2009/06/20/need-something-to-be-afraid-try-the-millenium-bug/#comments Sat, 20 Jun 2009 11:39:18 +0000 admin http://www.iliadeodysee.com/?p=212 I don’t know about you, but I really hate conspiracy theory. In fact, I pretty much hate anything that doesn’t follow logic, or follows only a logic of its own. Furthermore, I profoundly dislike it when people try to coax others into fear by using something that closely resembles logic, but that’s actually gibberish. One of the best examples I can find of this principle is the whole Y2K bug thing. Remember that? Back a few years, some fear mongers actually tried to talk people into believing that all electronic devices might just… cease to function at the turn of the millenium? Man, that was so XX century. I’m really glad we’re over that!

I would never believe such thing is even possible, if I hadn’t watched this video. Some of the younger kids will barely realize the implications of such feat, but for anyone who has used a Commodore 64… to think it can be used with twitter; wow, that’s really something else!

Honest, just watch the following video and you’ll get my meaning; well isn’t it nice to have a presidend who isn’t retarded, for a change! Kind of feels as though the country as woken up from a eight-year long coma.

Not only that, they’re fast turning into a necessity rather than a mere asset; this is particularly true as the number of people who make a living off the internet steadily increases. The term “Personal Computer” is now broader than ever before, with a huge variety of computing devices available in the market, in all shapes and sizes. Of all the available computing tools, PDA Phones are possibly those I find more interesting.

I still remember back in the day, when Personal Digital Assistants were nothing more than glorified calculators and timetables. Well, nowadays with the advances in electronics and computer engineering, there are some PDA Phones which are akin to full-blown palm-sized computers.

If there was ever a time when I felt enticed to keep up to date with the latest news, reviews and developments concerning the world of PDA, that’s the present time! One of my sources for such information is the blog linked up there, so if you’re interested in getting up to speed on all things PDA, make sure to check it out!

Some IT training might help your case! http://iliadeodysee.com/2009/01/18/feeling-outdated-some-it-training-might-help-your-case/ http://iliadeodysee.com/2009/01/18/feeling-outdated-some-it-training-might-help-your-case/#comments Sun, 18 Jan 2009 17:21:33 +0000 admin http://www.iliadeodysee.com/?p=117 There’s a world of difference between someone who just uses a computer and someone who actually knows about computers. Nowadays, almost everyone uses computers – that’s granted. But not many people really know what they’re doing, and that’s why many people should really think about getting some basic IT training. If more people would just take sometime to develop some basic computer skills, the world would be a better place for everyone – myself included, since I keep getting my computer trashed by non-savvy friends.

And let’s get something straight, just for the record: I’m not some kind of hardcore nerd who feels everyone should be taught linux at school. However, I do feel that in this day and age, basic computer skills are extremely important. And while younger generations are effectively starting to get such training from early age, there are still many users from older generations who still suffer from the technological gap. My solution is plain and simple: online IT training. If you think this is something you could use, by all means don’t be shy and get ready to embrace the technological revolution with open arms.
