BROWSE YOUR FAVOURITE SITES IN OFFLINE MODE WITH YOUR PHONE AND PC.

The application that allows you to do this is HTTRACK Website Copier: Well, this is one nifty app that lets you do an amazing stuff. It basically does what it says, copies a website. I have been using it for a long time now and I can say it can really save you a lot of headache if you get the gist. So, what exactly does this do? Lets picture a scenario where you are browsing a site and wish to read an article or tutorial or read the whole story from a news website and you are charged based on the time you spent on the internet or maybe you are using your office WIFI Hotspot and you know when you leave the office you will have to rely on your own limited mobile connection to browse. Well, this little app lets you actually copy the website content from the online server directly to your local memory card in your phone or hard disk in your PC and you can browse the site in “offline mode” through your browser as you would in an online environment. It saves time and allows you to read your favorite articles or tutorial at your own convenience in the same format you would if you were connected online. What this means is that if your visit tutorial sites like www.w3school.com you can actually download the whole content of the site to your hard disk. You are limited only by your hard disk space. The fact that you can potentially download the whole web on your pc or phone doesn’t mean you should. Anyway, here is the good part; HTTrack also allows you to download the update part of your downloaded website and add it to your local file without having to download it all over again and the best part is that its freeeee… …..it’s cool right….there are lots of tweak and tricks you can do with it and I will leave you to dig it. Its available for all Platform; Android, iOS, PC and Mac. Get it from Google Play for android, iTunes for Mac and IPAD, and http://www.softpedia.com for PC.

ONE DATA PLAN, MULTIPLE USERS

DATA SHARE:  This is the era of data my friends and everyone wants cheap and efficient ways of maximizing their data usage. Every average individual wants more data to browse and the era of unlimited data plan is gradually slipping away if not already gone. The reason isn’t far fetch as new social networking app and sites get dish out every day; but i find the idea of data sharing a little bit interesting and cost effective.

For every app, product or services created by any individual or group of people, no matter how stupid always has an underlining assumption and believes. This is also true for data sharing.

So, what exactly is data sharing? In a layman terms; data sharing is simply sharing your data plan with two or more people irrespective of their location or type of device they use. This means I can have a central SIM residing in a NOKIA TOUCH LIGHT PHONE not capable of browsing, subscribe to a data plan and share the data with the SIM in my Modem, My IPAD, My Samsung Galaxy Phone as well MY Family and Friends SIMs. This is totally different from WIFI Hotspot and Data Gifting because unlike WIFI Hotspot which is phone dependent, Data sharing is network dependent and it’s not limited by the phone type.

This means you can use a non GPRS enabled phone to share data to a GPRS enable phone. It also means that I can be in Lagos and share my data with someone in Abuja.

Here is a scenario to fully understand how it works; Let’s say I subscribe to a data plan of 250MB on MTN, ETISALAT or if you are in the USA AT&T with a validity of 1 month and I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters in school (you know student always don’t have money, even the rich ones, it’s a culture) and they want to be able to whatsapp, vibe, tweets their friends but have no money to subscribe and they want your help to pay their internet bills or perhaps you and your friend in different location wish to both combine money to subscribe to one data plan, be it 10MB or 16GB.

Well, this is where data share comes into play. You can simply add their name to your data share list and wherever they are they can start browsing with your subscription….cool right….Well, the good part is you can always delete and add them back and its password protected so anyone can’t just add their number to your list.

Ok, mine is just to let you know that this technology exist, yours is to find out from your ISP (Internet Service Provider) how to subscribe for the service.

At least you know now that data sharing exist and this is what I intend to achieve on everydayICT allowing you to fully understand and maximize the use of things you see everyday around you.

Welcome to Everyday ICT Blog.

Here on everyday-ICT Blog we will together start using more than 50% of our device and gadget capabilities. This includes but not limited to our Laptops, Phones, gadget of all sort. For example your Bluetooth headset with a little tweak can do more than just listen to music. You will most likely be thrilled and fascinated by most of the well research insight on productive software’s and apps, latest technology, How TOs, reviews and unbelievable facts I will be writing on.

Most people purchase very expensive device ranging from $200 - $3000 and they don’t even use more than 5% of it in its entire life cycle. Hey Pius! it’s my device not yours; Well, yeah! but what if you could do a few cool things with your device that could save you extra stress and maybe even extra cash at your own convenience without spending a dime? Now, that wouldn’t hurt, would it?

We buy expensive devices or upgrade to the latest technology for a number of reasons which might be some cool features you heard on TV commercial or your local Radio or probably read online or maybe you got that device as a result of peer pressure, trying to impress, the class thing or maybe you are just fortunate unlike me to be related to Bill Gate or Dangote.

Honestly, am not bordered with your reasons; what I am more consign about is for you to actually explore the value of your money on that device you’ve got in your hands.

There are so many things you can do with a Smartphone, a tablet or a PC. For example you can’t have a Samsung S1, S2, S3, S4, Note 1, 2 or 3,  Tecno Phatom A+ or N or Sony Xperia devices and maybe Iphone 5 and some certain symbian devices and still go to the café to scan a document you want to send to your mail or go to the photographer to take a quick 2*2 passport when all you need is a softcopy of the file or maybe you here a new song on Tv and you wish you could get the song details at that moment; Well, if you know the right software to use, you could save yourself the money to call your friend or googling your way. Well, many folks are cool with that, but if you keep following me on my page, blog and YouTube channel you will soon stop wasting money, time and bandwidth doing the things you do daily a little faster at the your own convenience. You will be well informed.

Truthfully, with just one app or software that most people probably have on their phone or laptop they could do so much if they are aware of the scenario at which they can use it and that’s where Everyday ICT comes in.
