The act of faking ICT products

Counterfeiting has become a gigantic societal menace that has become very worrisome to many concerned individuals and organizations. Something has to be done urgently to save the situation. Nigerians no longer enjoy real value for their money. It has become so difficult to distinguish between original and fake products in the market.

Even marketers are not helping matters. They are just interested in making money whether the customers are satisfied or not, it is none of their business. They will even proclaim the counterfeit products as original just to make money.

This is the reason why some ICT companies are going the extra miles to protect their integrity by introducing anti-counterfeiting solution which detects the fake of their products on the spot. HP for instance has introduced mobile authentication service which detects fake HP products at the point of purchase.

Mobile Authentication gives an instant verification of original HP inks, cartridges and toners. It simply scans the QR code on the security label and quickly cross check if it is available on the HP website database.  Non availability of the QR code indicates that the product is fake.

5G technology in Nigeria

The telecommunications industry in Nigeria has come a long way in a short while and is not relenting in its effort in bringing forth to the table quality and improved voice and data services to the consumers delight. The telecommunications industry in Nigeria has evolved tremendously. If we look back at the days of NITEL where analog communications was predominant with only a few hundred thousandth people having access to telecommunications facilities and to the more vibrant digital communications with millions of Nigeria having access telecommunications networks. Gone are the days when telephoning was meant strictly for the rich. Today everyone has a right to communicate and to be communicated to on phone.
Presently broadband penetration in Nigeria is put at 20% and bookmakers say come 2018 Nigeria would witness up to 40% broadband penetration.
Telecommunications experts say the future communications lies in data telecommunications. As such, researches are continually on going in this regards to improve the face of data communications. From the initial simple 2G networks, data communication has evolved to a faster 3G technology and now to the ever sophisticated 4G networks. Experts say the best is yet to come as researches are already on going into the 5G technology which researchers say would become a reality come 2020.
With a long list of expectations when this technology finally kicks off, there is no doubt that 5G networks would bring about a revolution in telecommunications industry of the world. It would be the major driving force of the much talk about about internet of things (IoTs) i.e objects possessing network connectivity as well has humans. On the surface we have seen a little of what internet of things (IoTs) can do with the invention and demonstration of self driven cars powered solely by internet of things (IoTs). Experts proclaim that even greater innovations and inventions would rock this epoch when the 5G technology is finally actualized. Bookmakers see internet of things (IoTs) as the next big thing that would change the face of the earth.

Who would conquer Android?

Nokia conquered analog telephones and telegraphs, BlackBerry pushed out Nokia, Android gave BlackBerry a run for its money. Then, who would conquer Android? Only time would tell.

The weak Google services

Despite the fact that about 90% of Google's services are first to none, there are some weak or should I say push over Google services like Blogspot and Google plus.
WordPress for instance has proved and continued to prove its superiority over Blogger. The ability of WordPress to accept plugins has made it favorite over Blogger. Google plus also is no where near Facebook, Twitter, etc. And Google seems to be doing nothing to meet up with its counterparts in these genre.
Google! What is going on? We user want to experience a better Blogger and Google plus services. Google please take note.

Why Google is referred to as the king of the internet

Sometimes, I wonder whether the empire called Google was built on meta-physical principles. Yes, because, all their products and services lead while others follow. Even android OS that came out yesterday has succeeded in pushing out all other phone OS to become the best ever developed phone operating system. The most affected by the birth of android is Blackberry. Blackberry went down since android came on board. Now, all windows executable programs have their android version. Is it Microsoft office, Adobe, Notepad, Firefox, Chrome or even Corel draw, they all have their android version downloadable free on Google play store.
Gmail, Adsense, Youtube, Feed burner, Google search engine, Google playplay store, Google chrome, etc, are all leaders in their respective genre. Google parades about the best programmers in the world and this contributed immensely to their acclaimed success. Also, not being too rigid and secretive helped the success of some of their products. Android for instance, became a huge success because it was opened up to the world. Just anybody can become an android programmer.

Today, people regard Google as the king of the internet. Not even Facebook, Yahoo or Amazon has an opposition to this.

Regulating online activities

The internet needs to be regulated. Google is trying its best to regulate the internet. But more work still needs to be done to keep the internet safe for everyone.
