Electronic mail versus ordinary postinng method

Let me say you have 24 hours left to submit an important file to your MD (Managing Director) and you can not hand deliver this file because your MD is oversees. You go straight to the Post office to post this file, yet another obstacle in case you didn't notice it take about five days for the post to reach the destination. Fast mail take about plus or minus two days. Electronic mail take about less than two minute to reach destination. E-mail might seems as a solution to this problem but let me make my own comparison of this two method.




E-mail                                                                                      Ordinary Post
1The receiver need to be online to view the mail.                        1Once posted it is done
2 No lost of your mail because if the receiver is offline                2  In case the mail is lost it is not possible
the mail server hold the mail till the the receive is                         (not that you can't) to recover it).
reachable.
3 Take less than a minute.                                                            3 Take days.

These were comparison according to me and I do understand that some of you might see this the other way around, well no idea or opinion is wrong as long as it have something positive. I think it is time consider the fast method when we are sending files not in bulk ( I do not think you can send file up to fivety pages in E-mail). Let us debate this further.

What does future hold for Compact Discs(CDs)?

Compact Discs took over from Cassettes ( which are still being seldom used) therefore there should be something else that must take over from CD's. The question that one might ask is whether CD's are hire to stay or they will be history too. Well with the innovations of iPods and MP3-4 players this question might be bias to yes but also there can be no too.

Some people are loyal to their Musicians in an extent that they buy all their original music. Another question that might rise  is what is the point of buying a ten track CD if you can download only the track you like. Downloads in most instances cost R10 instead of R120 for unwanted track in the CD but how much are Musicians benefit from these downloads. Though I am clueless to this question but I partially prefer downloads because with CD's sometime they end up not gaining even a cent because there is a lot of piracy hire outside(this is true though other might deny it).

Though CD's are still existing but I just don't see people buying music on CD's in 50 years to come and I am saying this in my capacity.    

Why do we let important information passing by us?

Firstly I will take this opportunity to wish all South African matriculates, who  are going to start their final examination next week on 25 October 2010. I am certain that you guys ready to harvest what soured for twelve years, GOOD LUCK.

Now hire we are, I am quite aware that if you just glance to the headline you might end up misinterpreting it therefore I encourage you read to the end to get clear picture.

Let us take for instance Google which is a number one searching engine in the world, approximately 27 billion searches are done in Google in a Month. This looks good I reckon but how many people aware of the features of Google despite it being the searching engine. Google can be used as a website, library, blog and for E-mails but these resources end up being waste because most of us turn to ignore them.

Now you can read a book online and I think this is cheaper then buying a book( not unless you want to build a library), just one of the hidden method of saving cash.My focus hire is on the developing Countries not the already developed Countries as one might misunderstand.Looks like I ended up profiling Google, in fact that was not my intention.

In the next issue I will looks at the followings:

1.  Manual Letter posting versus E-mails
2. The future of CD's as Mp3,Mp4 and iPods are taking up and develop faster. 

Mobile Trackers (how does it work)

I know this question migth seems silly to somebody else because we hier about car tracker every day. Yes but are we when it comes to Mobile trackers? Samsung is the only CellPhone manufactures that provide cellphones with tracking device ( if i am not mistaken). Again it is a pitty that even though Samsung try this far, but there people still unaware of this tracking device.

 I have come accross number of people who have their cellphones with mobile trcker stolen but they are unable to recover them. This has not because the mobile tracker does not work but because they do not understand how it work. They end up losing their cellphone for good, just a think which could have been prevented if there was enough knowledge.

How does Mobile Tracker  work

1 When you register for mobile tracker you have to give atleast two altenative cellphone numbers which can be used in case anything happen to your cellphone.
2 These numbers should be of someone close to you therefore I recommend it to be of a family member.
3 You must notify the person whom you give His/Her number and explain how this work so that there will be no confusion.

What happen if your cellphone get stolen.

1 In the event your cellphone is stolen, the first think a theft do when He/She steal a phone He/She remove the original SIM card.
2 The mobile tracker holder will then send SMS to the number you gave when you registered, that number contain number of the new SIM card installed in your cellphone  and IMEI number of your phone.
3 When He/She receive that SMS He/She must notify you as soon as posible.
4 Even though you can call this number directly, but I would recommend you to take that number to your nearest Police station so that the Police will work with your services provider( MTN/ Vodacom/ CellC) to track down the particulars of the new owner.
5 You can also block your cellphone with the help of your services provider but I do not recommend this, atleast this should be your last option.

In such steps you can be able to return your cellphone. Other cellphone manufacture should take a partten from Samsung and introduce this mobile tracker to their cellphones
