i Slave

Imagine a Life without mobile, life without laptop, life without internet, life without facebook, life without whatsapp, life without twitter, life without google etc.  We can’t even imagine a life without all these engineering stuffs. 

How our next generation envisions the world is different than how we visualize the world and it’s completely different from what our grandparents pictured.  Our moments and emotional are becoming virtual now a days and there is no reality in our expressions.  We express our emotions with smiley and chat with our friends using texts.  We meet our friends in video chatting.  Sports in the play grounds become video games in mobile.  There are no face to face interactions and no social support in this techie world.

We cannot use any of these technologies without registering our personal details like name, date of birth, gender, place, mobile, email, credit card details and sometimes fingerprints.  We are happy to share and save our information in a third parties database.  After registering we are also very happy to text our private information which will again save in third parties database.  We cannot remove/delete any one these information after enrolling.  Though we have a secured password for all our applications, the company can actually access all our data we enter and share with full strength. 

A day will come, where humans cannot live without technologies.  That day, we will use an application that suggests a food and drink that suits our health; an application which suggests what we should wear on various occasions; an application which tells us whom we should friend with and whom we should marry.  

That day humans will be completely become iSlaves.

Share Internet without a Router

I had an internet connection on my laptop (via usb adapter) and wanted to share it to my smart phones and tablets. The cost for a router was too much for me, so this inspired me to search for an alternative and guess what below is the easiest way to share internet. Yippeeee!!!!!

Basic Idea

Ok here we go, all we need to do is to create an adhoc connection and enable internet sharing. What this does is that you actually create a WIFI access point/hot spot and your internet connection will be shared through this access point/hot spot.

Steps to configure 

1. Power-up your laptop and connect to the internet (Host Machine)
2. Open the Start Menu and type “wireless” into the Search box and then select “Manage wireless networks”
3. Then Click the “Add” button to add a wireless network.
4. Click on “Create an ad hoc network”
5. Click Next.
6. Now give your adhoc connection a name and password. “Tick” Save this network if you plan to use it repeatedly so you don’t have to set it up each time. 
7. Wait while the network is created…
8. In order to check if the adhoc connection was created successfully, click the wireless icon on the Taskbar and you can see that the new adhoc connection is waiting for users to connect.
9. Congrats you are halfway through!!!!!!!!!!!!
10. On the Client computer/smart phone/tablet, click on the wireless icon to see available networks and connect to the ad hoc network by entering the correct password.
11. Then on the Host machine you will see that the other computer is connected to your ad hoc network.
12. Congrats…. Now both the devices are on the network. 
13. To share your Internet connection with the newly connected devices, right-click on the Host’s internet adapter (meaning the connection that brings internet to your host machine). Go to Properties, click the Sharing tab, and select Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection. 
14. Now it’s better to disconnect the internet and re-connect, so that the settings can be refreshed.
15. And you can share internet on all your WIFI devices.

Happy Browsing J
