Simple practical ways to save your laptop battery life

When we purchase a laptop ,many of you have frustrated about BATTERY LIFE which is always an unsolved problem.

 Here are few tips that can save your battery life to a greater extent.

Best way is to REDUCE YOUR SCREEN BRIGHTNESS this way is the simplest and cool method as there is no any performance loss !

If there is no use for external devices like pen-drive or even your mouse and also WiFi, better turn off it.

Do not keep any unnecessary background operations active. This will increase CPU load thereby decreasing battery life.

If the system is not in use.. better switch off it instead of putting it in stand-by.

Do not also engage your CPU with plenty of work. This causes overload which takes out battery life.

Do not leave the battery to charge even after it is fully charged i.e do not always work in system in power mode .Always let your battery to discharge.

Do not discharge your battery completely . when your laptop shows 40%  remaining , it is better to plug your system.

Increase your RAM memory so that hard-disk drive  will get used less and battery is saved ! :)

And finally , clean your battery and its metal contacts with alcohol atleast once in two months

Wearable Computing- Finally The World right before your eyes !

The Evolution of Computers, from the room sized  to big-boxes,then  to a less weight  transportable-one,then to hand-held , and now has reached its new step ! Soon , we'll have computer that is attached to our eyes ! The term "Computer brings world before our eyes" have indeed proved true literally ! yeah , a computer attached in-front of your eyes! Magic of molding Computer and Virtual world with Physical World :)
Though this concept was proposed in early 1980s it has come true only in early 2010s because desktop was believed to be most worthy due to its firm properties in electrical grid for power and Ethernet cables . But today's advancement in Battery Technology overcomes Desktop's electrical grid and other Wireless technologies  overcomes Desktop's Ethernet cables .This leads to the way for next generation - Wearable computers !
(Image Source : Google )

This has come true because of the two main concept - Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality , the computer may take either of these two type of views.Finally its time to combine computer technology with human anatomy !  And the First step was took by Google and came out with Project Glass.
 Imagine our glasses takes us to other world , filters our mail and everything just before our eyes, like we are in it! That will be really a greater wow experience !!!
Every new invention comes with miracles and also with some drawbacks. It is said that Battery life of these devices is not a good one.Charging these devices is tedious ..may be soon solution for wearable batteries will arrive ! :)

So , Hoping that this technology will rule future for years !!
