Me, Personly, I love tech. Yets face it none of us can live without it. Well we may live but we wont be able to be happy. Here a list of a few things that are tech i use everyday.

Phone
Computer
TV
BT Vision (top-up Box)
DVD/Video Player
Router/Modem
Games console
Monitor
Mouse (Keyboard is part of a computer and the mouse wasnt used with computer till about 10years after computers where created)

So yea at least one of them you use everyday as i use them all. There millions of more things and the most inportant is electric. Now thanks to tech there computers that also means games such as habbo hotel and computers allow us to do so much more things.

Today alot of things are computers and you dont even know it. The microwave is a computer, Your phone is a computer, Your camrea/Video Camrea is a computer, Anything with a chip is a computer.

Within 10years you wont have a monitor, Keyboard and mouse. You just have your computer(desktop) and a hude bit of glass witch will contain OLED. OLED is a benable version of LED. This glass will also be a touch screen. When you need your keyboard, Its popup, When you want to drag something your just use your hand on the screen or use a kinda pad with options.

Thanks to OLED, You also have paper what will update electronicly so ne need to go buy a newspaper everyday, Just update your piece of paper. On the move? Just drag what you need of your computer towards you and it pop on your piece of electric paper.

Now you see where im going? Yes tech rules. So you wana learn more, Well microsoft have put up a site just for this its called microsoft wave. Search google up or click here.

For school i had to make a doc on child labour so why not post it here aswell?

Child Labour

Child labour is where a child or children under the age of the countries minimum age for carers work for factories, cafes ECT. In most countries this is now against the law and children rights but still happens a lot in countries such as china and other poor countries. Even though it is now against the law for children to work children still can work for as such things as household chores and school work ECT.

During the industrial revolution millions of young children for the age of four were forced to work in poor conditions and most times also dangerous. In MED (More economic developed) countries it is against the human rights act but some LED (less economic developed) countries still allow this.

From my point of view kids under the age of 16 but over the age of 11 should be allowed to work if they wish to for small jobs such as web design, Assistant ECT. Where it’s not to hard of a job for a child to do. This should only be 1-2hr jobs after school time at around twice a week or on weekends as children still need to go to school to learn for they can make a life for there self when there older. Computer programming, web design ect is an idea job if the child is interested in computers as all you need is a computer and is not to hard of a job and you could do this from home.

Bertrand Russell wrote that:

“ The industrial revolution caused unspeakable misery both on England and in America. … In the Lancashire cotton mills (from which Marx and Engel’s derived their livelihood), children worked from 12 to 16 hours a day; they often began working at the age of six or seven. Children had to be beaten to keep them from falling asleep while at work; in spite of this, many failed to keep awake and were mutilated or killed. Parents had to submit to the infliction of these atrocities upon their children, because they themselves were in a desperate plight. Craftsmen had been thrown out of work by the machines; rural labourers were compelled to migrate to the towns by the Enclosure Acts, which used Parliament to make landowners richer by making peasants destitute; trade unions were illegal until 1824; the government employed agent’s provocateurs to try to get revolutionary sentiments out of wage-earners, who were then deported or hanged. Such was the first effect of machinery in England. ”

12 hours is a lot in today’s time for a full grown adult of a good wage so must have been a lot of hard work for them. As well as the bad wage for them to work they must have been forced or had to be able have money for a place to live and food and water. A lot of kids also worked as this after being forced or to help supply for the family if thee parents where ill ECT.

Now this blog post may seem abit “Strange” to most people and most of them people will go somewhere else as they would think i was mad. Well theres alot of facts proving UFOs are true aswell as wrong but this post aint about that. If UFOs are real what do they have to do with tech? well also. If you read any UFO story half of them have been over a government military base or a science lab. Most of these places have something to do with nuclear. Now the UFOs might be interested in nuclear but most people disagree to this as they think they are belond us. Now this is true but might not be for everything. All planets are different and the environment and resource could effect the discovery of nuclear.

Something else is world war II (2), The German Nazis where 20 years ahead as i believe i herd but might of been less or more. Anyway they was ahead of the rest of the world by fair. They also was working on air crafts that looked like UFOs, Maybe a cover up to allow ufo to blend in to the sky or maybe just the shape as a impact on speed, movability ect. The German Nazis could of had a deal with aliens or whatever you want to call them. Whatever you think since nuclear has been discovered, There has been millions of more ufo sighting then before then.

Area 51, more then half the would has herd of this or maybe not but might of herd of dreamland, area 51, groom lake ect. Now this is where alot of UFO hunters believe UFOs type air crafts are made and also recovered from fallen UFOs. There has been top secret “Black Projects” such as aircrafts, B2 bomber ect built here.Area 51 is in the middle of a desert if you didnt know miles away from a town. Theres a small cafe around 10 miles away i believe whats the closest and is called the allien in or rachels as alot of people call it. Hard to miss as its the only close cafe.

What do you believe in? Do you think tech has came from other planets? Do you think we helped ufos instead of them helping us? Write a response as a comment and tell me what you think.

Apple has released its own processor for the ipad and of as said a range of new products. This must and only can mean there must be m0re new products soon. Im not an apple fan myself buts its amazing how well apple are doing. In 2003 they had macs out but not everyone knew about apple, i know i never but that was 7 years ago, i would im only 14 now. When i as growing up i never knew about apple not even from the Internet. Only did find out about macs and as such for the apple store that was 3 miles away, i now live within 10 mins.

Anyway back to the post, Apple has release there first cpu whats called the A4. Its the fastest processor for mobile devices current. I do not mean mobile as in the meaning its got today, a  phone, i mean a device that is mobile like the Apple IPad what uses this processor.Also mentionin that i think it should of been giving a name such as Ipod touch pro as realy its just a huge Ipod touch. Chris pirillo was disapointed in that there was no camrea what i find stupid. I wouldnt want to be raving a 9.7 inch LED screen around to take a picture. What they should do is make such as a grove at the top with a camrea that faces you but its removeable and has a cable so you could hold the IPad in one hand and arm and use your other for the camrea. I dont thing apple would even read this to take an idea into account.

This would be a great device for hold documents instead of millions sheets of paper. Its the right size and made for it. Downside is its said by chris pirillo to not have any usb ports? Now whats with that? Any type of computer if its desktop, nettop, netbook, tablet anything they should always have usb ports. Thatss disappointed me but other people may have diffrent points of views.

Tell me what you think, write a post in response if you wish.

Many thanks, Ashley Meah

I get internet on my phone for free, as fair as know, 90% of the time so i dont get why most wi-fi spots cost when there not free or theres none to be found. Its fine with me that companys need to makw money so why not at least offer 60-120mins of free internet per day. Thats a decent amount and wont make them go bust. They could even add ads as not alot of people will mind because its still free internet. Then thy could offer a plan to block ads. They would get twise amount of users and custemers as fair as i see it.

Now im written from my phone so this is a quck post.

If you have anything to say please make a comment and thanks for reading.

Many thanks, Ashley Meah

As many people may of noticed, Bill gates has joined facebook. I didnt find out from news or twitter but least of any source, facebook. Not nothing bad to facebook but my geeky side dosnt touch facebook but it still reaches me. Anyway he has got over 150,000 follows and it hasnt even been a day. He has more then most people of what some have been on a year and he beats them with one day.

He has only 5 tweets at this time so i am very confussed on the amount of his follows. Yes he owns windows, microsoft and yes hes rich and everyone knows him but i myself dont think thats a good reason to follow him.

This is a blog post for my youtube video,  how to rip cd’s using windows media player and converting the sound file type. Now i did mention about this post in the video and this is more as a tutorial on what to do if you dont understand the video.

Ok, Some people like reading to learn more then videos what im okay with so i try to make a blog post to EVER video i make. Now riping your music cds is very easy and simple and may sound hard to do at times. All you will need for this tutorials is windows media player, If you didnt know it comes free with windows but i be using windows 7 in this tutorial so it may be abit different. You will also need the cd you want to rip and your hands and brian. Hands to move the mouse and insert the disc. Brain so that you body can function to do this tutorial. Okay yets start.

Step one- Insert your cd into your optical drive. Your optical drive is your disk drive, You know this thing with the button and you press it to make a tray come out, Yes that. So go ahead and click that button and put your disk on the tray and then press the button agian to close.

Step two- Put your hand on the mouse and move the mouse to the start button or orb. Windows xp its says start, Windows vista and 7 look the same with small diffrences and its just a circle with the windows logo on.

Step three- click all programes and look for windows media player or media player. Once you find that click with your left button or some strange mice click to the left side. Click twise and a programe should open up.

Step four- On the menu on the side click your drive letter and cd name to open the files up in the main box in the middle.

Step five- Highlight or select all the file you want to rip then at the top select rip settings or rip options and check the format is on mp3 so that you can have the music file on your mp3 player or mp3 phone. If there an option for mp3 phone and mp3 make sure you DO NOT select phone. This will make the sound rubbish. You can select a diffrent format if you wish.

Step six- Click rip and wait for all the files to get to 100%. Now click that start button agian and click music. If you do not have music click your documents or as such then on the sidebar click music. If you running windows xp im not 100% sure as not used for a while, sorry.

Step seven- Run the music file to listen to it or move it onto a device such as an mp3 player, mp4 player, ipod or a phone. ANy device that allows you to play music realy or a storage device to take your music with you to use on other computers.

Thats it in this tutorial please contact me if you need anyhelp or want to request a video.

Many thanks, Ashley Meah

I done a fresh install of windows 7 64-bit yesterday and once i logged in first thing i done was saw the widgets. Now the cpu meter was the first thing i added along with the media widget and windows 7 is not that much faster then windows vista. Maybe a little bit but why is everyone saying windows 7 is alot faster when it aint that much faster then windows vista. Now thats the only thing i have to say bad about windows 7.

The overall OS itself does however run alot more faster even that it uses the same amount of ram what i dont get. I run into problems with my graphics card what i got before on windows vista when ever i tryed to update. I can plug one monitor in and it runs fine. I start the computer up with two and the main monitors dosnt disply anything and just stays black. I can however start the computer with one monitor and then once windows has started plug in my 2nd monitor and enable it and it runs fine.

I like the aero peek and such things but dont like the fact that when you have two monitors connected it expands the settings in a way that you can move the programe to the right of the first monitor and left of the other montitor to get it to stick to the sides. I however found out afterwards that if you hold the windows key and press left and or right it moves along and if your press up it max the window and if you press it down in restores the window and if you press it agian in min the window.

The control panel is easy to use and i love the way if you create a new folder on your desktop called “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-9971204 3E01C}” without quotes it adds an advanced control panel what people are calling godmode.

If you you have anything you would like to add please comment here or on my blog @ tekria.co.uk/blog/
