Cast/Mirror your screen..

Image
  In case you are wondering what screen casting or mirroring is, well, don't worry, you are not alone. You see, the more technology advances, the more the jargon advances as well and sometimes - well, most of the time - it is difficult to keep up. Let me explain. So, casting or mirroring - as some companies like Samsung would call it - is a function or feature that modern smartphones have which allows the user to "project" their smartphone screen onto a smart television or laptop wirelessly. Some of the phones come with the feature already in built while others require an app to be downloaded from apps stores. Now, you do not have to limit yourself to watching things on your small smartphone screen or have people hover around you trying to catch a glimpse at what you are watching. https://www.mersive.com/blog/thought-leadership/meaning-of-screen-mirroring-screen-casting-and-screen-sharing/ Image by: APKPure.com

Music Discovery Apps; Name any song in seconds...

Image
  The agony and frustration of hearing a song and not being able to know the title or the artist who did the song is a thing of the past now - well, it has been for a while - and this is because as you may know by now, technology is a gift that keeps on giving. We now have music discovery apps such as Shazam - which can be downloaded on both android and apple devices - and once opened, these apps allow the user to simply tap on a button and it starts listening for music. There is a plethora of music discovery apps besides shazam, and these include but not limited to, Sound Hound, Musix match lyrics, and many more - they all serve pretty much the same purpose. Music discovery apps coupled with the ability for people to download and share music with others on the go without it costing 'an arm and a leg', is the more reason for music lovers - like myself - to go "cuckoo for cocoa puffs." and stock up on all our favorite hits.

LG has "grown" wings

Image
 In an effort to remain relevant in the ever increasingly competitive business environment, companies are pushing the creativity needle to the limit and tech companies are not an exception. This is evident in the design of the recent smartphone released by South Korea's multinational electronic company LG called "LG Wing." The name - wing - is as a result of the phone looking like it has wings once it is fully extended. Incase you are wondering why someone would want a phone with two screens, well, I would think that the  reason behind the design would be to counter the "split screen" feature that most smartphones now have - a feature which allows the user to have two applications open simultaneously. At this point it remains to be seen what out of this world designs other smartphone companies will come up with to counter this one or maybe the next phone in the "wing" series could actually take flight. Fingers crossed.. Specifications Android 10 128GB ...
