7 Apps which consume more Mobile data 2019



Seven Apps which consume more Mobile data 





Recently using mobile data has very common  in users after the revolution of smartphones, as  cellular companies have come up with most effective data plans in order to comfort their users by giving mobile data plans as per the requirements of their users. 

It doesn't matter which so ever data plan you set for your smartphone, you have to manage your data usage plan by yourself, many of us have issues with their data plan that there are so many apps those consume cellular data in large amount as compared to the other apps.

Apps those use most data normally are the apps that you use the most in your daily life. For most of us, these ara FacebookInstagramNetflixSnapchatSpotifyTwitter and YouTube. If you are using any of above mentioned apps in your daily life, you must change these settings to reduce the consumption of how much data these apps use.
On an iPhone, i can be checked by yourself easily that how much data any of your apps uses by going into Settings > Cellular. For every app in the list which is alphabetical, you can see small number mentioned below the title of app that shows how much data this app has used. Scroll down to see when it has started counting the mentioned data usage, which is likely to be when you first activated your smartphone or installed this app. Here you need to look at the bottom of  list where you can tap the Reset Statistics button to start a new count for data usage of this app, which is very useful if you reset the statistics at the beginning of the month. This might help you to check the usage of each app every month.
Also from the same data-usage list, you can turn off cellular access for any app, I can give you better ideas on how data usage can be reduced by yourself. I am using an iPhone to explain  following ideas and tips, in Android phones similar options can be found easily. 


1. You need to Stop auto playing videos in your Facebook App
IF you are in habit of checking Facebook every five minutes certainly consumes your data plan, but if you are checking Facebook after every five minutes while letting app auto play videos is worst. 
Now You can easily limit auto play videos on Wi-Fi only or disable them on both cellular data and Wi-Fi as well. Here's how its done:
  • Open the Facebook app, tap the button in the lower-right corner with  triple-lines and then tap Settings.
  • Go to Account Settings and then go into Videos and Photos.
  • Tap Autoplay and then here you can choose On Wi-Fi Connections Only or Never Autoplay Videos.










2. Stop auto playing videos on Twitter
  • Open your Twitter app, tap the Me button (lower-right corner). 
  • Tap the gear icon of your profile page and go into Settings.
  • Tap Data usage.
  • Tap Video auto play or High-quality video and then you can choose Wi-Fi only or Never
  • If you spend most of your time on Twitter then its auto play videos are required to be set.











3. Stop pre-loading videos and photos on Instagram
Instagram is more than just photos, now it has auto play videos. The app pre-loads all videos so they can start playing as soon as you get them in your feed.
Instagram has setting too that lets you prevent videos from pre-loading when you are using cellular data. This setting will not prevent videos from auto playing, but still it can prevent Instagram from pre-loading videos when you are using cellular data.
Here's where to find it:
  • Open Instagram, go to your profile page and tap settings.
  • Go to Cellular Data Use.
  • Tap to turn on the switch to see Use Less Data.









4. Enable Travel Mode in Snapchat
Like Instagram, Snapchat pre-load Stories and Snaps so that they immediately appear when you check any feed. Problem is pre-loading which is much heavier on your cellular data.
  • You can prevent pre-loading by enabling a semi-hidden feature called Travel Mode. It means that Snaps and Stories will take a bit longer to load, but your data plan will thank you.

  • Open Snapchat app and swipe down to see your profile

  • Tap the gear icon in the upper-right corner.
  • Scroll down and open Manage and then turn on Travel Mode.








5. YouTube: Change Wi-Fi-only settings in YouTube
YouTube offers a setting that plays HD video only when you are on Wi-Fi.
  • Open YouTube app, tap account profile button in the upper-right corner and tap the Settings.
  • Tap to turn on switch for Play HD on Wi-Fi only.
  • While in settings, scroll down and tap to turn on switch for Upload over Wi-Fi only if you regularly upload videos.








6. Set video quality in Netflix
As you use Netflix on a device than your phone when you are home while connected to Wi-Fi, but for times when you intend on a cellular connection, you can lower the video quality.
  • Open Netflix app, tap the triple-line button in the top left corner, scroll down and select App Settings.
  • Open Cellular Data Usage and toggle off Set Automatically.
  • Select either Low or Medium to watch lower-quality videos when on cellular data.









7. Make albums available offline in Spotify
If you use Spotify as your personal music soundtrack in your daily life, data plan is likely to be consumed earlier. If you have space your phone you can download albums and playlists to avoid streaming on cellular data.When looking into an album or any playlist, just tap the toggle switch for Download in order to add tracks to your smartphone so you don't need to stream them again and again.
Spotify also has a stream quality setting available. 
Open Your Library in the bottom-right corner then go to the gear icon in the top-right to open settings and open Streaming Quality. Here four options are in front of you: Automatic, Normal, High and Extreme as well.

World's First Laptop

Welcome to my section World's First, which is going to increase your knowledge about any invention which was released in this universe for the first time. Do not forget to comment if you like my posts and do like us on facebook.


History of Laptops


In 1970s and 1980s lots of efforts were seen to build portable personal computers as well as small in size that combine all the components and features like inputs, outputs as well as capabilities of a desktop computer in a small chassis . Before laptop computers were announced, similar ideas were being proposed as in the early 1970s Alan Kay's Dynabook concept, which was developed at Xerox PARC. One of the first feasible portable computers was Xerox NoteTaker  in 1976, which was also developed at Xerox  PARC. However, only 10 models were built.

The Xerox Note Taker was an earlier computer which was portable and had components of a desktop computer was developed by a team including Adele GoldbergDouglas Fairbairn, and Larry Tesler.

World's first Computer

Welcome to my section World's First, which is going to increase your knowledge about any invention which was released in this universe for the first time. Do not forget to comment if you like my posts and do like us on facebook.


1. What is Computer?


Well this word Computer did not actually represented any sort of machine in 1613, yes the word Computer has been used since 1613 when any human in the society used to perform any sort of calculations and computations . Till 19th century people explained a word computer by the same definition  since 1613, but revolution of machines in 20th century gave rise to this word Computer when the primary function of any machine was to calculate.


  

2. First Computer (mechanical) or a machine for automatic computations

In 1882 the first machine which could perform computations automatically, was invented by Charles Babbage  which was known as difference Engine. Difference Engine was able to perform computations of numbers in several sets and results was made in hard copies also by engine itself. But this machine was not fully functional due to less funding and Babbage was unable to complete his work on Difference Engine to have a fully functional version of the machine. 


(In 2000 this function was completed by London Science Museum which is known as printing mechanism)   



In 1837 Charles Babbage again proposed a general mechanical computer which was first in the history ever, named Analytical Engine had Arithmetic Logic Unit, initial flow control, punch cards as well as memory (integrated). Unfortunately, again this function was not completed because of less funding and was also never completed while Charles Babbage was alive. In 1910, Henry Babbage, who was Charles Babbage's youngest son, completed a part of Analytical Engine which was made capable in order to perform basic calculations. 


3. First Programmable Computer Z1

From 1936 to 1938 German Konrad Zuse created Z1 in the living room his parents. It was considered as the first electro-mechanical binary programmable computer as well as first functional modern computer with some limitations in programming.




4. Concept of Modern Computer

Alan Turing proposed the Turning machine first in 1936 and proved himself as the foundation for concepts and mechanisms about computing and computers.Turning Machine was such a device which was used to print symbols on paper  in such a manner that resulted a series that was composed on logical instructions. Without these functions and fundamentals we wouldn't have the opportunity to get computers we are using today.



5. First Computer with Electrical Programming 


The first computer with electrical programming was named as Colossus, proposed by Tommy Flowers, and was first presented in 1943. The Colossus was invented in order to help British code breakers to read encrypted German messages.



6. First Digital Computer


 In 1937, the development of ABC was began by Professor John Vincent Atanasoff and graduate student Cliff Berry and continued until 1942 at Iowa State College .


In ABC, vacuum tubes were used for digital computation and it was an electrical computer including Boolean logic and binary math without any CPU. On October 19, 1973,  the decision was signed by the US Federal Judge Earl R. Larson that the ENIAC patent by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert was invalid and was named Atanasoff who invented the electronic digital computer.


John Mauchly  and J. Presper Eckert invented the ENIAC at University of Pennsylvania and started construction in 1943 which was unable to be completed till 1946. It had an area about 1,800 square feet and 18,000 vacuum tubes were used, almost 50 tons weight. Although it was finalized by the Judge that computer was the first digital computer was the ABC but it is still considered by many that the ENIAC was the first digital computer because of its functionality.







7. EDSAC, first stored program electric Computer


The first stored program electronic computer was the EDSAC which was the earlier British computer. On May 6, 1949 EDSAC performed its first calculation and was the first computer which was able to play a very first graphical computer game, named "Baby".


During the same time at the Victoria University of Manchester, Manchester Mark 1 was another computer that was capable of running stored programs. This version of the Mark 1 computer was operational in April 1949





8. Konrad Zuse in 1942,  started his work on the Z4 which later recognized as the first commercial computer.

9. On April 7, 1953 IBM  introduced the 701, recognized as first commercial scientific computer

10. Whirlwind machine was introduced by the MIT on March 8, 1955, a revolutionary computer that was the first digital computer with real-time graphics. and magnetic core RAM. 

11. In 1956  at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ,TX-O (Transistorized Experimental computer) was demonstrated which was the first transistorized computer.

12. In 1968Hewlett Packard introduced the first mass-marketed desktop computer named HP 9100A.

13. Later on November 15, 1971, Intel introduced the first microprocessor, the Intel 4004.


14. Finally The First Personal Computer

The term "personal computer" was first time introduced in 1975, Ed Roberts when he presented the Altair8800. Although the the KENBAK-1 was considered to be first personal computer as it was first introduced for $750 in 1971. KENBAK-1 was based on a series of switches to input some data and output data by turning on and off a series of lights.

How Drones are effective in our daily life


Drone, are they really helpful







Since Drones are being invented for a long time for many reasons such as Fun, media coverage, surveillance and so on. Recently i read a news on some famous news site which is:

"The world's bestselling drone-maker has unveiled models that warn their operators when there is a risk posed by nearby aeroplanes or helicopters."
further more:

"The M200 series use ADS-B (automatic dependent surveillance broadcast) receivers to detect broadcasts from nearby manned flights.The transmissions allow users to see the position, altitude and velocity of surrounding aircraft so they can take evasive action if required."

( note; above news was taken from fol link, you may visit to read more)

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-39106520

 But the  point is whether these drones are really helpful in our daily or professional life, yes we can see many people around us using drones to make their work easier than before such as delivering goods, engineers can analyze the work of 20th floor while standing on ground using drones and many more.
In fact in some countries it is realized by many departments that drones can be used to breach security or any sort of privacy too like any one can see what is happening in his in neighborhood.


Since it is prohibited to use a drone in the premises of any department related to security concerns but their must be law by the local government that should not allow any one to use drone in order to breach ones privacy or any sort of security.
