Polls: Technology & Internet

I'm currently a PC gamer since the previous gen ended. But I figured out I wanna go back to console gaming because I wanna play their platform games. My favorite in each console is Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Gran Turismo Sport & Gears of War 5. I played the Wii U but never owned one though I admit it had cool games and the off-TV play was new, it was nowhere as awesome as the Switch. I never play games on mobile as it is overrated in my opinion, and I only use my phone to ask my friends out. Especially since I don't really use Facebook, Twitter & Instagram too much LOL.

Anyways, which console do you own or want to buy?

I'm not saying social media is for women only but I'm making a point, that men love video games while women love social media - An equivalent.

I prefer to play these handhelds rather than scrolling through social media because it's more exciting to play a portable with friends and enjoy what you guys play. I personally like my Vita more than my 3DS but I only play 1st party games on both consoles, given that I'm a huge fan of japanese games as well. So which consoles do you like and own?

Facebook and Instagram are testing it in certain countries. They say that it may reduce the social pressure and help the people to express them without comparing themselves to the others

Here is an example. The search results are to the left, the right part which says 'battle of marathon' is the wikipedia part. I personally feel that this legitimizes a source of information that is poor in quality.

Why?

Wikipedia may have been a good internet source a decade ago, but many alternatives have taken its place. Wikipedia was originally the source of information where people had easiest access to academic research papers, and an article based on those, but today many more academic research papers and articles are posted directly online for us to access them.

What about paid research papers, they are not accessible to most? Well, you wouldn't find those on Wikipedia either.

Hi guys and girls! So on this previous gen of gaming, what are your thoughts about the consoles and the generation itself? I actually miss this generation too even though it's just been years from this haha. Knowing that I own 3 of these and me and my fam enjoyed playing the Wii, motion control was the real deal in this gen. But I admit the Kinect had the best camera and functionality because you didn't need a controller, and the Playstation move was just like the HD version of Wii, but I liked its controller. All consoles being backwards compatible and competitive with each other, the Wii was able to compete with them due to it's different strategy of gaming where the 360 and the PS3 didn't have, thus making Wii the best selling console despite having few 3rd party games. But for me, the PS3 was the winner as it had free online service from PS network and it's controller didn't need batteries. I remembered playing most of the fighting, racing, sports and other 3rd party games here. I've also played Ratchet, Uncharted, Monster Hunter, God of War & Little Big Planet. I also play PSone & PS2 games there as well. And the Wii goes 2nd as it had lots of fun games like: Just Dance games, Super Smash Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Wii Sports, Sonic & the Black Knight and Sonic Unleashed and I also play Gamecube games there. The 360 goes 3rd since I only played shooting games there but I own GTA 4 (with episodes from Liberty City) & 5 here. And Kinect games were the only fun thing it had but for an exchange we also watched DVD movies her hahaha. Any opinions? Kindly share!

Here are some observations

Many people are incapable of processing ideas that do not fit their limited world view.

Some are deluded enough to think you are jealous, as if fame on a marginal website is some huge achievement.

Weak-minded people get annoyed when proven wrong. Rather than being happy that their knowledge has increased they block

Some will block you as soon as you ask a question that seems to contradict them. They cannot handle being critiqued or questioned for their thoughts and opinions. They believe that everyone should agree or get lost. Some even go so far as to accuse anyone who disagrees with their preconceived notions as prejudiced, racist, and/or ignorant. Or if you happen to be black or Latino, then you get called Uncle Tom, coon, Weto, or sell out.

I just love both of them! I owned both of them during high school and I remembered being an emo kid for just spending my whole time in my room playing with these bad boys! This was also the time when some people spend their time playing their NDS or PSP unlike today when we are now just scrolling on our social media. (No hate, just saying!)

Anyway, the NDS for me was fun but when it comes to graphics and functionality, the PSP wins. I recall this generation often because of it's wireless connectivity like the Pictochat, DS download play, PSP's game sharing and the WLAN. You can also play games via micro SD card and memory stick and both has Wi-Fi connectivity.

after choosing say what you think it can be any thing not on the list or from the list but you can check it out on you tube or read about it hydrogen nuclear power

Which of each operating systems for desktop and mobile do you prefer? I have a an old MacBook but prefer windows. I chose this because I find it to be a better budget rout. I can upgrade it to my hearts content, I can try out Mac OS and if I don't like it then I could go to windows, get to be spoiled with a trackpad better then many new windows laptops (even though its from 2010/2011), keyboard is really nice, really the only thing that actually bugs me is the processing speed. Which is why I spent $119 on a 2011 2.7GHz i7 bundled with 16gb of ram for a total of $168 because it didn't have a hard drive (little did the guy know I had upgraded my current one to an ssd and still had the old one just the way I left it when I took it out and had Mac OS and everything already on it, Tee Hee) so basically I got one heck of a deal. It gets even better that it has thunderbolt 2 so I can hook up an eGPU if I wanna GaME on it. The over abundance of ports and the freedom to upgrade the hardware makes this laptop almost perfect. Of corse I would prefer that it had modern internals so this thick boi would be as capable as a full on gaming laptop with all that space, and having usb c charging and having full on thunderbolt 3 would be really nice. Besides little things like that including the display res might start bugging me in the future but this laptop gives me what I want, options. For the $168 I will have ended up spending on it, it really can't be beaten in terms of value.

Little fact, Android is based on the same kernel Linux is based on if you didn't know.
