Safer Internet For Us?

I've been on the internet for a long time. Not just social media but internet. When I was 1st introduced to the internet, the year was 1998 and the sound of music to me was the dial tone of my 56k modem. Internet back then was pretty bad. There was no web 2.0 and the mother of social media was mIRc.

It was all good and fun as almost everyone was just as clueless. We do not have much scams or trolls. We do not have things like SMRT Feedback, we do not have Xiaxue and we also do not have Smithankyou. (boohoohoo). There were less judgement, less "rules"and less of what is "do and don't". Basically everyone can do anything and get away with it?

So we fast forward to 2015 and things are way more advance, internet speed is faster, the organisation of information is better, interaction is better as well.

But are things really better? We got leaked in iCloud, we got sites getting hacked, we got nude picture leaked (not complaining), we got internet trolls that hide behind screens that scrutinise everything, complain and comment everything. Basically, the keyboard warriors.

of course, haters gonna hate in these days.

So what do you do about these people?

When life gives you hater, you are make them happy and give them due attention. heh.

"OMG!! Good news for the morning!! I finally getting one of those balless key board warrior hater thing!!! ‪#‎FinallyFamous‬ And here's a really ugly selfie for you! ‪#‎Yay‬ ‪#‎BestTuesdayEver‬"

What precaution can you do to make internet a better place? What about protecting yourself? Not uploading your own nude picture? Not uploading important information like your address, your credit card, your passport or IC numbers. Having a strong password to prevent hacking? Store things on cloud?

Anyway, I think everyone need to do their part to make internet a better place. So do your part! And if you have haters? Don't get affected! Heh. Here's NOC's video:

How you spend time on the Internet.

Do you know how much time does a normal person spend on Youtube? Base on this infographic from go-gulf.com this is how much time we spent on each site.

As of Feb 2012.

So there are 106 Million users per month and spent 1hr and 40 over mins per month on Youtube. And this is considering the fact that Youtube doesn't support Full Movies. Do you know how many times you can watch my current earworm - Payphone? That's around 40 times loop. Who does that right? So if you don't watch a 4mins video 40 times, that means you watch around 40videos per month and that is around slightly more than 1 video a day. Are there really so many videos on Youtube?

The answer is YES! Guess what I found recently?



You know how we guys always not want to carry a bag when we go out, and everything is just in our pockets – wallet, phone and maybe a condom.(Just maybe. No?) Imagine, we can drop all that, and only go out for a quickie hang out with friends with just our phones. (replace everything..maybe not the.. nvm..) Paying with phone, that's very smart right? I would totally use this especially for gym sessions. I don't sign up for expensive gym and it's a pay per session thing. Imagine I could just pay my neighbourhood gym session with just my phone and I do not need to bring my wallet and worry that it will be stolen or I have to pay for a locker for just my wallet. AWESOME!

I think this idea is really cool. Not sure about you guys but I try to travel light myself. I go to work with only keys, phone and wallet. Unless I am prepared for a long day out and I will go around with spare charger, tissue pack, ear piece, camera, notebook and a pistol. No, I am kidding, I don't bring my camera around, it's already in my iPhone.

Can't wait for this to be implemented fully in the near future!

Mr.Smith, I hope they can install light saber in my iPhone too..
