MISCONCEPTIONS OR BELIEFS ABOUT THE COMPUTERS

    I frequently heard some of the beliefs and misconceptions on the computers. Most of them is true and most of them is not true or false. Perhaps we dont know some of the facts of it thats why we can say some beliefs that it is not true.

Common misconceptions of the computers:

• Restarting computer will cause damage to it.

         Actually it can not cause damage to the computer but can help the computer function again smoothly. Like for example, corruption of files can cause computer to freeze, what we normally do is to press, CTRL + ALT + DELETE, to easily access to restart the computer. It can help the computer to reboot all the files that has been corrupted.

• The faster the processor the expensive and better it is.

            Yes, we can say that the faster the processor the better performance it has. But when it comes to price it is not practical to buy a expensive processor. For example, the Pentium 4. It comes to the variety of speed of 2.8 GHZ which cost P8,000-P9,000 and the 3.8 GHZ which cost P12,000-P14,000. For a student like me 2.8 GHZ is enough for me. It can only cause P8k-P9k. The Pentium 4 with the speed of 3.8 GHZ will be too much for a standard user like me. So it is not true that the expensive the processor the faster and better it is.  

• You need a good video card for watching DVD's and editing videos or pictures.

              Basically most of the people think that if you have a better and high video card, you can better see pictures more clearly. Actually it is not true, video cards are for gamers and for video animations only. If you are going only to watch DVD's and for editing pictures and videos 64 to 128 video card will be enough. Anything more than that is not practical.

              

       

ISSUES REGARDING THE COMPUTERS

• MONITORS CAN CAUSE RADIATION AND MIGHT LEAD TO RISKS OF LIFE

             This is the most common we will hear especially to older ones. They will say that too much of using computers can actually hurt our internal organ and might effect to infertility. Well actually for me, computers has radiations but it is minimal. And also too much of using it can not cause infertility but sometimes it might lead to eye problems like blurring of eye sight and etc. 

• APPLE MACS DONT GET VIRUSES

                Many of the people say that mac computers don't get viruses because of the OS was built not to have a virus. Basically it is true about the OS was built not to have a virus. But actually hackers can do or make a virus for mac OS. The only thing for   now that mac's don't have a virus because fewer users use macs. Hackers will not make a virus with a very less number of user of a computer. They make virus to a large number of users of computers.

• CELLPHONES CAN CAUSE EXPLOSION TO GAS STATIONS

                 All of the gas stations you will see in the prohibited sections, no smoking, off the engine and turn of the cellphone. Basically it is not true and it has never happened in past times. They say that when you are using your cellphone, the battery in the back of it can produce a spark by the electromagnetic wave and it will travel through the air and it will cause a static electricity which lead to fire explosion. It is obviously not true. It can only happen when there is a friction or presence of touch between the battery and the gas fuel. Generally, it is not true. 

THATS IT! THANK YOU FOR READING MY POSTS ABOUT BELEIFS AND ISSUES ABOUT COMPUTERS! GOD BLESS! :))
