Why Don't You Own a Computer???

In the early years of computer age, individual computer ownership was rare. Computers were predominantly owned by large institutions like universities, government agencies and similar large corporations.

This phenomenon was as a result of two exceptional qualities of earlier computers:
1. Cost - Acquiring and maintaining hardwares and the computer itself was extremely expensive which made them financially inaccessible for individuals. For example, the cost of one of the earliest computers called ENIAC, was averaging $500,000 in 1940.

Oooh yes! It was that expensive! Remember, that was in 1940; at the moment, that would be over five million US dollars. If you are daring enough, convert that amount into Kenyan shillings and I bet you will definitely need somebody to remind you to close your mouth. Unbelievable as it sounds, it is the fact. Not so many people would afford such amount leave alone spending such amount on something they barely understood. Remember at the moment, the computer was a new invention and most of the population couldn't fathom how helpful it would turn out to be. On the other hand, large corporations, universities and government agencies were brave enough to dream big and follow their dream regardless of the cost.

2. Size - Early computers were huge. They were really huge. They were so huge such that an individuals' residential premises could not house them. To understand how huge early computers were, I have attached an image of a 5MB harddisk. This IBM-owned harddisk was approximately 24 inches and weighed approximately 500 pounds... it was so huge it had to be transported by a cargo plane. Take a look at the damn thing and imagine the size of the machine it would be attached to.
This huge design resulted form the strict adherence of the concept of 'the bigger the better ' by the early computer manufacturers. These hardwares were used alongside mainframe computers. In essence, the sheer size of computer and is hardware's was not an issue with large corporations, universities and government agencies. They had whole rooms dedicated for this. Owing to the size of computers and their hardware at the time, no individual would be insane enough to own one.

The aforementioned factors only favoured large corporations, government agencies and universities. These institutions had the physical premises and the funds to house and maintain the computers. However, these hindrances have been delt with in the modern era. Computer sizes have reduced significantly to a point of a person placing a computer on their laps and use it effectively. In the same lane, computer prices have been cut down exponentially over the years. With as low as 100 dollars, one can own a computer.

Technology advancement has largely influenced the reduction of computer sizes as well as their prices. The same advancement in technology have created a suitable environment for business to thrive. We have witnessed emergence of several computer manufacturing companies that are constantly competing for market dominance. This healthy competition has pushed the limits of innovation beyond the horizon with each computer manufacturer striving to outdo their opponent by solving issues and challenges surrounding computers; that is how computer sizes and prices have reduced. In this sense, it is safe to say that the major barriers to individual computer ownership have been solved.

Now that we can safely establish that earlier obstacles to individual computer ownership have been eradicated; I hereby, with honour and outmost genuine intention do ask you the big question; WHY DON'T YOU OWN A COMPUTER 🤔 🤔 😳 😳

"How to make millions using just your smartphone. Click on the following link to know more..."

That's exactly how they start. A seemingly genuine introduction with seductive language meticulously choosen to arise your curiosity. Lets not forget the seemingly serious theme, intended to fool you into thinking it's not a waste of time looking into it. Who wouldn't want to make millions using their smart phone from the comfort of their home? Anyone? Damn it, I would do anything to make millions without breaking a sweat; so would you.

Naturally, humans are lazy beings who wouldn't mind an easy way out. It's exhausting waking up daily, report to work, go back home in the evening, sleep, wake up to report again and the cycle continues. In some instances, the pay is never equal to the effort. You will be having big dreams that would take time to fulfill with your current income. The patience to achieve those dreams is often rare in most people. As such, when such a chance to make millions using smartphone appears, 50% of all the people receiving such a message have a combined 99.99% probability of looking into it. Assuming you are among the unfortunate ones, you go ahead and click into the link...and that's how you were hacked....Yes, that simple 😂😂.

Our own self are vulnerable to ourselves. Hackers are smart individuals and they understand human psychology intimately. By captivating our attention with a seemingly sensible content and then leaving us in suspense, they trigger our curiosity into longing to know more. They know our curiosity will definitely cloud our judgement-of which it does😔😔. By failing to ask ourselves critical questions, we become gullible to hackers clever tricks, which mostly target our very own vulnerability..

😂😂😂The kid who thought of producing electricity from human feacal matter😂😂😂

Picture this: a curious kid with a mind full of ideas, a sprinkle of mischief, and a dash of ignorance. That was me, on a quest to unlock the secrets of the universe—or at least, to light up a bulb using the most unconventional means possible: human p**p. Yes, you read that right. In the annals of childhood experimentation gone awry, my attempt to turn f***s into a power source ranks high on the scale of hilariously disastrous decisions. Little did I know, my foray into fecal-fueled electricity would be more shocking to my parents than any volts it could ever produce.

Without saying it, my parents almost butchered me alive after finding out what has been stinking the house ( a story for another day 😂😂)...

Looking back at that incident, I gladly admit it was worth it. Yes it was!! The experiment obviously didn't produce the expected results, but it did play a role in shaping my career choice.

As an IT expert, I can undoubtedly say that interaction with electricity is almost guaranteed in the course of my job. Be it networking, computer repair, CCTV installation....you name it: I interact with electricity through out and I have no fear doing it. Were it not for my curiosity to handle electricity and the early exploration of electricity production (even though it backfired😂) my career path would have been different.

Nurturing young ones requires granting them the freedom to explore. This exploration stems from the kids' curiosities' and when guided right, it sparks an interest in them that forms a roadmap for their future career. Retrospectively, the freedom to explore could result in destruction of property-something I learned from my early life. This is why considerate disciplining is crucial as it enhances a sense of responsibility into them and intensefies their curiosity. In this sense, it is critical to allow exploration among kids while disciplining them appropriately to curate responsible exploration of their curiosities. Ultimately, it will fortify an interest into them that lays a foundation for their future career(s).

Growing up, I used to wonder how radios and televisions work. When I first saw a television (those analog CRT tv), I was convinced those people reside inside. I theorized that they must be living inside them, and are hosted on that thing protruding from the back. However, I couldn't understand how they fit in the small wires of a radio.I embarked on a spree of opening every radio I would come across to figure out how they fit inside. This got me into serious trouble with my father (I still remember the beatings I would receive 😂😂).

Today, as an IT expert, I reminisce those days and smile☺️☺️. It was that curiosity that drove me into my field. I don't regret destroying my father's radios despite the beating I received, bcoz those experiences intensified my curiosity and finally laid the foundation for my interest in IT.

As I write this, I can't help but wonder what would have happened if my father didn't discipline me for destroying his radios. What if he didn't bother with my adventures? What if he would just get a new one without proper disciplining? Would my curiosity have intensified or it would have disappeared? Would I develop an interest in IT? Would I be writing this today?

I also wonder about children of this generation. With the overflow of technologies in this age, and parents being more linient, what motivates the children? Are they explorative or they are sucked into these technologies and don't question themselves? What triggers that curiosity to explore further, especially where they are warned against? Are they even warned about anything or their parents are also sucked into the technologies? How does that interest, which forms the ground for future career, gets cultivated in them?

When my parenthood phase comes, I will allow my kids to explore. I will let them try anything and everything bcoz it's that curiosity and trials ( and ofcourse disciplining when they destroy my stuff😌😌) that will trigger an interest in specific profession. I will then be their mentor (after disciplining them🙂🙂) and guide them into developing and nurturing whatever it is that interests them.

Deep-fake Technology: Unraveling the World of Synthetic Realities 😎😎

Deep-fake technology, a portmanteau of "deep learning" and "fake," has emerged as a powerful and controversial tool that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to create realistic-looking but entirely fabricated content, such as videos, audio recordings, or images. While it holds promise for various applications, its widespread use has raised ethical concerns and sparked debates about its potential impact on society.

Understanding Deep-fake Technology🤗🤗

Deep-fake technology relies on deep learning algorithms, particularly generative adversarial networks (GANs), to manipulate or generate content that convincingly mimics real human actions and expressions. By analyzing and learning patterns from vast datasets, these algorithms can generate synthetic content that is often indistinguishable from genuine material.

Purpose of Deep-fake Technology😊😊

1. **Entertainment and Digital Media:**
Deep-fake technology is employed in the entertainment industry to seamlessly integrate actors into scenes or bring deceased celebrities back to life. This application enhances visual effects in movies and television, offering new possibilities for storytelling.

2. **Education and Training:**
Deep-fakes are used for simulation and training purposes, allowing individuals to practice public speaking, language learning, or professional skills in a controlled and immersive environment.

3. **Personalized Content Creation:**
Content creators use deep-fake technology to develop personalized content, such as videos and messages, enhancing user engagement and interaction in advertising or social media.

Impacts of Deep-fake Technology😑😑

1. **Misinformation and Fake News:**
The most significant concern surrounding deep-fakes is their potential to generate highly convincing fake news and misinformation. Deep-fake videos can be created to make it appear as if public figures are saying or doing things they never did, leading to the spread of false narratives and manipulation of public opinion.

2. **Privacy Concerns:**
Deep-fake technology poses a threat to personal privacy, as individuals may find themselves unknowingly featured in fabricated content. This can lead to reputational damage, identity theft, or other malicious uses of manipulated content.

3. **Erosion of Trust:**
The widespread use of deep-fakes can erode trust in visual and audio evidence, making it challenging to discern real from fake. This has implications for legal proceedings, journalism, and other areas where authentic documentation is crucial.

4. **Security Risks:**
Deep-fakes can be weaponized for cyberattacks, espionage, or fraud. For example, attackers may use synthetic audio to mimic a company executive's voice, attempting to deceive employees or gain unauthorized access.

In conclusion, deep-fake technology presents a double-edged sword, offering innovative applications in entertainment and education while simultaneously raising significant ethical and security concerns. As this technology continues to evolve, striking a balance between harnessing its potential benefits and mitigating its risks will be crucial for a responsible and ethical integration into various aspects of our lives.
