Biggest myth about technology
hello friends, Its a long time when I am posting on my blog, sorry for that.
In the present scenario there is so many myths about technology in people mind. I point some of them to aware you about technology.
1. E-mail requires password, so it is safe
Using a strong password for your email does not mean that it is hack-proof. Despite using a strong password, your account can be compromised. when you are sending mails to anybody, hackers can read the data that are traveling from your PC to another.
2. No magnets near my PC
This would have been true in the case of a floppy drive, however, hard drives and laptops are immune to magnetic radiation as they are free from magnetic composition.
3. In camera only megapixels matter
If you think that it is only the number of megapixels that ensure picture quality in a digital camera, its time to get your fundas right. image sensor type and size, lenses and image stabilization are also important as megapixel. If your image sensor is small than your image quality will be reduced.
4. Anti-virus is fool-proof
Some of you trust on the anti-virus. but there is so many spy-ware, malware and trozan can not detect by anti-virus. Even if you have an anti-virus installed in your PC, it is important to follow basic security guidelines like not opening a mail from an unknown user or click on an unidentified link.
5. PC monitor radiation causes cancer
The radiation from your monitor is too weak and also at a different frequency, so rest assure you are totally safe. A cellphone might give you a brain tumour but monitor is harmless.
6. Cookies track every move
Cookies are basically small text files that help the browser remember specific information like your ID and password, preferences, shopping cart information etc. Plus, they are usually deleted when you shut down your browser. They can not track your movement.
7. `Stop’ a USB device before unplugging
This applies only in a few cases. This is said to ensure that the USB device is not unplugged while data is being read from or written to it. When you are not using USB device, you can simply unplug the device without any harm to your computer.
8. Wireless Networks are unsafe
Wifi is a ‘open’ system. There have also been several incidents where users wifi accounts have been hacked for terror and other criminal activities.
However, this no where that Wireless Networks are unsafe and can be hacked easily, of course until a user leaves his doors open.
9. Never switch off before Shut Down
Many believe that turning power off without shutting down PC physically damages its hard drive. However, this is an age-old myth and has no grounding. However, users do lose their data if they were working and have not saved before switching off the power.
Also, many users believe that one should shut down PC every couple of hour so that it can rest. The thought may be nice, but shutting down your PC every few hours may actually be harmful to your PC.
10. Clearing recycle bin deletes data forever
Well many may relax when they delete their trash files. However, this is no reason to cheer. In fact, Windows just marks the area of the disk occupied by such files as empty, but does not delete the data.
you can recover your data by using any good data recovery tool.
So friends be aware about technology and also tells your friend about these myths
