But, one thing that hampers the upload of images to the Internet is because of their sizes.                 Their sizes determine the amount of data consumed in the curse of their upload and also consumes appreciable online disk space. Also, for web masters (owners and managers of websites and blogs) know that for SEO, page speed is paramount, and for a web page to load fast, the sizes of images on them must be controlled to ensure that this is achieved.                 Image compression is the act of reducing the size of an image and at the same time, retaining its data using some algorithms that stores an exact representation or an approximation of the original image which is smaller in...

Wifi: All You Need To Know

WI-FI  is a short form of the phrase “wireless fidelity” which is known by scientists as IEEE 802.11 is a wireless way of connecting computers and other devices to the Internet which was developed by the WI-FI alliance in 1999..  It is made up of some types which include: IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n. The first three are already in use but the last (i.e. IEEE 802.11n) is still under construction and will definitely be faster than the others. It works using radio waves and provides wireless connectivity by emitting frequencies between 2.4 GHZ and 5GHZ based on the amount of data on the network. This distinguishes it from an FM radio frequency which is between 88 and 108MHZ. WI-FI ROUTERS: A wireless router is a device built with Linux operating system which provides wireless Internet access to devices. It has web server software running on it which connects to the Internet. It contains a very lower-power radio receiver with w...
