CREATING ICT FUTURE

The future for ‘Anything’ and ‘Everything’ starts now. I personally described and defined it (future) as the ‘sum total of anything and everything you get yourself involved in doing now’. There is never anything like an accidental future, the reality of the future awaits the actions of that an individual or group of persons involve themselves in now! It is rightly said the “The way you lay your bed is how you lie on it”

However, the Young ones who shall evidently grow to become the old, and inherit the future, which has been put together by the present decision(s) made by adults, as well as policy makers (Parents), will either enjoy or endure the outcome of the actions taken by the older and extinct generations. To reduce the amount of undue pressure on all sides, which has the tendency of affecting every facet of existence, then it is ideal to create a Brighter Future, having the Young Minds at the center stage.

Moreover, with the Information Age and Technology dictating the trends of major aspect of human existence, there is a wake up call to all stakeholders: Parents, Guidance, Policy Makers… to Create a conducive future for Young ICT Prodigies! This is going to happen ONE BREAKTHROUGH AT A TIME. This is surrounded and enhanced by the unflinching aim of  Catching them Young with exposure to Ground Breaking  and Assimilation of ICT Concepts in Coding, Programming and Designing…

Synergy With Young Minds

Life is all about being in motion! Making a movement from ‘Point A’ to ‘Point B’…. Even all the way to ‘Point XYZ’ The drive is the functions of so many things, which could be Internal and or External factors. The humanshave been created to be in motion; when anyone is found to be stagnated, this would begin to raise an air of  question, why?

However talking about making movement, it is ideal to instill in Young Minds how to make positive progress! I am sure you would not want your kids to get involved in negative undertakings and vibes’ knowing that it would lead to future Malady. They need help!, they want to collaborate with you in the course of making progress in their journey to a greater destiny, even surpassing your own attainments! They need you, guess what’ you are going to need them later and that is at your old age.

The Power of Synergy cannot be over-emphasized especially in this Present Age; Young Bright Minds are blessed with Energy which can be tapped into! “What’s the point of having been blessed with them in our lives, families and world; we not joining forces to make this world better” Make deliberate and concerted effort to voyage with them purposefully so that you can present them a formidable Icon to reckon with in the future.

We find ourselves in Economies where destinies intimidating challenges presents itself as major threat to the survival of Young Minds. It is wise to be able to project into the future by Training Young Minds to Thrive on the Power of their Imaginations, so they can Forecast and play around every Daunting Odds, skilfully making the dimensions of oppositions act as a stepping to greater Achievements and Actualisation and not as menace to Succeeding in life. 

Furthermore, Grooming our Young Minds to be able to Create opportunities for themselves where it is so scarce and as well as lean to come by, enhances their being well positioned, builds them up to be able to Deliver ways for their personal improvement on the Latent Potentials, and also makes them to move along with forward-thinking individuals around them. This is going to Snowball into a phenomenon that would enhance development in all magnitudes, for the general Human survival.

However, there are dotted lines that needed be linked together to make a sense of the inherent values everyYoung Minds possesses. There is need to raise the awareness for Young Minds to Connect effectively; Ultimately, improve Technological Relationships in the evolving world of Technology.

TECHNOLOGY EXCELLENCE

In the present rate of Economic Growth and Development in any given society, the best product accessible in the market has the tendency of sweeping the readiness of demands. People will often go after what will give them the best satisfaction. In this Technological Age we as human cannot do without Information, hence the best form of information has the possibility to take our attention.  

Living in the information Age that is predominantly driven by the application of technology, parent would be well advised to seize the opportunity of doing right things to be able present their wards as ‘Inclusive and Exclusive’ players taking the center stage in this wonderful phenomenon! 

For Technology Excellence, it is crucial to begin the process of grooming this Young Minds appropriately using every available means to help them connect suitably to the Technology world, because this is a very good yard stick to help them become a Technology Giant. With ICT Whizbang a publication by Luckwise Concept! It has been designed to help raise a Child’s ability to be Excellentin Technology, when the various steps are logically taken care of.

However  the response of a child gives whether ‘Positive or Negative’ , ‘Cold or Hot’….to an adult over a given Instruction to do a thing, Direction to go through in getting somewhere, Decision making process of achieving a given task… 

Be rest assure that there is an underlying craving in the mind of that little one “To be part of the big picture” of what the adult is striving to do, but it is usually greeted by a form of 'hesitance and or resistance' in the thought process of the Young Mind, which is easily displayed by an immediate negative response. I call this a ‘moment of inertia’!

Every Young Mind have a high sense of wanting to do’, when they discover the need of getting things done. Although some of them may not know how to do, when allowed to settle down to perform a particular task alone. Others might find it difficult getting that task done is a suitable way. Moreover, they simply want to settle an account in their curious minds on they can be included in the big picture of getting things done that requires solution. 

Have you ever heard a child ask you “What about me?” They want to be part of the big picture. They want to be part of the team of achieving something! This create a platform for them becoming resourceful in the future.

What matters most is creating a POWERFUL WINNING TEAM… More than ever it is time! Let us team up together to help your kids become ICT professionals! Starting from where they are presently at now.

TAKE THE ADVANTAGE

The Dynamism of this present age will obviously make some people a success as they use the tools and options available in it, while on the other hand, some other people who fail to utilize its potential may not be able to effectively make a success of whatever they are doing.

Everyone knows that success has no enemy, therefore there is need to embrace the strong awareness of the Information Age, where one can reach people faster and get result for every mission.

As a result of this there is clarion calls for Smart and Outstanding Young Minds who requires to be nurtured in Information & Communication Technology! 

Knowing how Intelligent, Automation, Technology…. Can help Reinvent Business, Create Competitive Advantages… 

Building a ladder for Young Mindsto achieve this feat!

BARRIER BREAKER

Everyone is looking for a ‘Super Human Being’ that would come into their lives, perform an uncommon display of abilities to solve present and future unforetold predicaments of their lives’ endeavour! Looking for that might become an impossible search! 

However, There is a heave of hope somewhere, this has been naturally endowed upon everyone equally. We must all come to terms with the fat that it exist, give it the needed attention. ‘I call it nurture them and then watch them take the center stage!’ Creating time out for the Young Mind to really impart in them good ideal would help you have a ‘future of super human being’ you might have dreamed of. 

The concerted effort and approach of Teaching & Moulding Young Minds to be Barrier Breakers and intimidators of Impossibilities in every aspect of their lives, should be on a ‘Bouncing Burner’ of an average parent, especially those looking for ‘Super Human Being’  In this Information Age and Technological Advancement, Developing Young Minds in ICT is a great Deal. You may not need to know anything in ICT! You just need only one thing Optimism, totally Positive mind set, you can easily set the tone for them build great empire on. 

There is need to fetch from their Borderless Imaginations that has not been clouded by lots of worries and anxiety, train them to be, Creative, Innovative and Strategic in thinking in order to soar to New heights in any live endeavour! This is the making of a Barrier Breaker!

UNLOCK THE GENIUS IN YOUNG MINDS

There is a Genius hiding in every Young Mind, waiting to be discovered. If nothing is done about it, then it will remain like that or later wrongly channeled for a wrong purpose. But Unearthing a valuable thing does not come by accident, it is going to require putting lots of effort into making it come alive for people to see and appreciate it. Take finding ‘precious stones’‘It does not come by accident’, it is going to take a lots of ‘Precious Time’ and ‘Positive Attitudinal’ display from the person seeking the Gem!

It will entails strategic effort, ‘knowing what to do’ and’ how to reach’ into the depth of the latent Potentials that abounds in Young Minds to unveil the dormant Genius! Absolutely it would demand a Methodological Approach! 

In this Age of Swift Information Navigation, it calls for us to Automate Intelligently,  coupled with innovating Ingeniously, in order Unlock the inactive Imagination of Young Minds with intelligent Automation!

So that we can present the Young Bright Minds to the world, enlisting them to swing into action! Making them ready to compete on the higher scale of ICT Proficiencies.

Raising Solution Providers

There are so many problems Everywhere, Anywhere... Looking and Waiting to be greeted by a suitable solution; People would naturally be drawn to the coordinate and bearings' where solution is beaming! In any unstable economy, everyone want to stay in a 'safe haven' so as not to be a liability to others who may barely be surviving or existing. For this reason(s) we are so keen at raising our growing Young ones, not to be dependent on others for survival, but to provide solutions to known or unknown predicaments.

However it starts with us having and being rooted with a very Strong Passion about changing the statues-quo of our Young Minds.

Activate our Personal Decision to embark on this lofty journey of Grooming them to see the need to create solution to prevalent problems and not creating new ones.

Nurture to “Walk in our Shoes where our daily lifestyles are showing them and beaming positive example of a good leader as well as Teacher. 

Becoming a very good sight for them to See through our Eyes, because we shall be bombarded with various questions, coming from their curious minds, they absolutely long for clarity.

Fortify their empathy, so that they can Understand the Challenges of people around them! 

Raising Tomorrow solution Provider in Technology, Is Not a Daunting task with the Right Resources and Approach!

5+, THE NEXT GENERATION

The innovation of the computer does not discriminate who uses it, the moment its user comprehends a logical command of how it is to be switched ON, it comes ON! Waiting for Next instruction! This is possibly followed by series of commands that would activates its full potential of it operational uses. 

However Young Minds of 5+ are not left out, they have been blessed with vast measures of salient values awaiting being tapped, for them to begin controlling the computing device.  

Their loads of curious minds too wants to know more and get involved in processes of getting things done, I call them the Next Generation of ICT Experts. 

'Guess what they know', when it comes to Demystifying the concepts of ICT. It would surprise you of what they can do with the Simple Gadget! 

INFORMATION THAT COULD CHANGE THE DIMENSION OF THINGS

Everyone want to gather as much as possible various things in this life, and in this 21st century, the Age of Information! A piece of information could change the dimension of even a society. Some information may be very cheap to get, because such is available to everyone, some other information are very Expensive to have access to, because they are not just going to be seen, until the person looking for such information truly Dig Deeper beyond the surface.

In the world of technology, you can stumble into a vital information that could change the chemistry of things by simply searching it out. The ‘Google Search is a Virtual Machine that can help anyone including Young Minds gather untold volumes of information for present and future use. 

Just Gather it!

DANGER: KIDS PROTECTION ONLINE

A child left alone to fend for himself would become a prey to every predator prowling around. Nobody wants to have a child and expose him to dangers and harmful situations. Children need protection even while they are online.

The Online Environment is an ‘All Comers Affairs’, where ‘The Good’ ‘The Bad’ & ‘The Ugly’ are promoting their Individual or Collective Agenda; as well as Searching and Waiting for any one that would be Gullible enough to come and patronize them. 

The Young Minds, with their innocent dispositions find themselves in this environment, where they could be exposed to untold havoc awaiting to be unleashed on them by Merciless, Malicious Netizens! That is the reason the for this call! ‘Matured Sound Minds’ should come and chase away every ‘Technological Predator’ lurking around to pounce and prey on the ‘innocency’ of our Young Minds.We must build a protective Hedge around their wards to prevent the Insidious Assailant of some wicked Online Users. 

ADVANCING WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS

The Growth Rate of a thing depends on the factors suitable for its Development and how much it can Tap for its Nutrient to make a proportionate  improvement, in the midst of other species found in the same Environment. Everything that has life in it, has the potentials of making Steady Progress from one stage to the other, provided there are vital items and options it draws vitality from in order to promote it advancement where it is found. Young Minds are not left out, because they life and can make progress.

In this Age of Information,Young Minds born at this time have been blessed with the opportunity to harness their skills, coupled with the Right Tools, For example Google Search Engine is a Tool. It is then their Responsibilities and Obligations to be able to Develop and Make proper use of the Technology Skills & Tools, which has the tendency of enhancing their Progress Geometrically in all forms of life endeavours, where the application of information is an essential requirement for an innovation.

Talk Google

Today it has been discovered that self-discovery is one of the ways a learner can Gain or Advance in Learning Concepts and ideas that will have a long and lasting effect on them in their pathway of knowledge acquisition. 

Educators therefore have carved an avenues to it, by giving Young Minds in schools loads of ‘take away’ Home Work (Assignment), which I referred to as ‘School Extension at Home’ which is done in the confines and comfort of their homes, without Rigorous Task, Close Monitoring, Rivalry and undue Competition from peers. 

I think it is not bad to keep the Young Minds Academic work tone down, after a long day of navigating from one subject to another, then coping to comprehend the new concepts presented by each discipline. This will give them a leeway, allowing their brains to relax, getting ready for the Academic Chore the next day, if it is not a Weekend.

However, the element of Academic Respite, as compared to what is obtainable during the school hours, give Young Minds the liberty to explore the world of Technology! “Google Apps” Playing a lot roles engaging the attention of indiscipline children.

Furthermore, a typical Young Mind could develop great ability in the use of GOOGLE Search Engine to find way out for unknown task. How fascinating will it be for such child to show the understanding and Application of ICT Concepts! And be able to chart unknown territory.

RAISING YOUNG TECHNOLOGY SLAYERS

As parent we are always faced with the desire to satisfy the longings of our children. This is  evidently expressed, when they display a dramatic scene of their need for a particular thing by crying, we are pushed to pacify them, as well as when they show a strong cravings for wants and desires. It is Alright’ to do all that, and even going beyond' if as a parent you have been endowed with great and enormous amount of resources to take of their needs. When this is done, you fulfil the law of a Child's 'the Right to be provided for'. 

However the Information Age allows a more creative way to help Young Minds truly provided for by holistically developing them and also helping them to become a Formidable Entity in the society! The time it takes to help them gain the needed skills for future development will definitely go a very long way to present a great personality in your child.

Remember 'the Shepherd Boy David’ A sling in the hands of David rightly used Defeated Goliath. The Proper use of ICT Gadgets in the hands of Young Minds can help them succeed against every odds in life! Especially in this Age of Digital Revolution!

TYPING PROGIDY DISCOVERED IN AN 8 YEARS OLD

It has been rightly said that ‘Habit are things’ the more we keep doing a thing, the longer it sticks with us. Because we are raising Young Minds, and we do not want to repeat the same mistakes we’ve made in the past while growing. We therefore want to deliberately leadthem right, Typing Habit rightly inclusive.

It is going to be laudable to Monitor, Guide and Coordinate the Young People while they are working on the computer, because the ‘Sum Total’ of the approach they give to the process of using the computer system adds up to their formative mannerism in Technology. This in the long run becomes an habits of our Young Minds, in the world of Technology. 

The ability to skillfully operate the computing keyboard places a child on the platform and pathway of being a good computer user. The proper skill in typing shown by a Young Mind is a prove of Dexterity in computing, catching them young is invaluable! 

GROOMING YOUNG ICT PROFESSIONALS

Before a child is born into the world, the battle for existence had already started, ‘How do I know?’ Because out of the Millions of spermatozoa released by the father, ‘only one swam to the egg and fertilise it’. As we Transition from one Age to the other, the battle for survival continues. Innovations keeps changing and evolving, older ones became archaic and the newest ones stayed applicable until it is removed by latest form of Discoveries and Inventions. 

In the midst of this cycle of changes, Young Minds find themselves in the centre stage and as a result, they must survive, if they must stay Relevant. The ‘world of Digitisation come calling’ becoming a basic threat! there is need to start Grooming Young ICT Professionals, who are going to compete in the future that is heralded with stiff competition, with lots of modernisation and creations ready to destabilise the presently laid order.  

However, this is going to be an ‘easy playing ground’ for Young ICT Professional willing to take the ‘bull by the horn’ developed to fight hard enough to maintain self-created created culture. ‘The harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph’! The preparation starts Now!

RAISING YOUNG INNOVATORS

When children seem to be disturbing, adults wants to have their time back, by looking for things that would occupy the children’s time, they look for Gadgets for them, "but watch out this could possible Make and not Mar the chances of helping your offspring stumbling into something great in life! 

Gadgets are Fantastic for the Young Minds, It takes the their time, get them to bring harness: Physical, Emotional, Psychological… competence together to get the best from the given Gadgets them while getting fully entertained. 

However, there is need to connect the missing linking of its usefulness, and the thin line between deviating into the danger of its Addiction while using the ICT Gadgets. kids need the Understanding of the concept of every ICT Gadget they have opportunity to use. 

There is an underlaying fact that While being entertained with the use of ICT Gadgets, they get bonded with thoughtful comprehension of basic concept of ICT Gadget! This will make them budding innovator, because they get stirred up to start making their own line of Gadgets! 

Create path for Young Star as an INVENTOR!

STARTING SMALL

The Holy book says “Despite not the days of Little Beginnings…” The Oak Tree, you see standing very Tall in the Forest and our Environment has its beginning as little seed, when we can conveniently it  hold on our palms and move around with it, in seed form; but it has in it the potential of becoming a Giant tree in the future. There’s nothing small about what Young Minds are doing with ICT!

The Smallest Idea you impart in them today may bring out a Programmer, who writes Program that solves Economic Problems or creates Biological inventions that saves countless of lives.

 

They only have to Start from the Basics; understanding ICT concept! Break complex ICT concept down for them, before you know it, you are grooming individuals who shall be a threat to the future AI. Just Start Small!

INHERITANCE FOR YOUNG MINDS!

Have you heard of this expression? “Man die Go, Woman Born Another” Some people express their minds with this sentence’, for example while they are trying to show the end of pains or any form of Malady’ they are presently faced with ‘I tell you that is NOT TRUE!’ Because ‘the another' that is 'born' 'will inherit whatever the man leaves before He Died’ ‘Good or Bad’

“When a man dies, if he can pass enthusiasm along to his children,he has left them an incalculable values” The word ‘Enthusiasm’ is the feeling of intense and eager enjoyment, interest or approval of something. Everything is Not all about money, ‘money is good’, what about when it is not there? 

A Young Mind who is Enthusiastic will not see a 'dead end' as the end of all the effort put into a daunting task, rather there will be a burning eagerness to want to look for another way to get things done. Such mind is saturated with will to do! That is what is needed in our Young Minds. As an adult we must have it, because the Young Minds wants to see it in us! when it is seen, covertly and overtly the Young Minds will imbibe it!

We must ensure we leave something for the children including enthusiasm’ against every odds, because they will be faced with stiff opposition that threaten the fulfilment of their destinies, it as they go in the journey of life! 

ICT FOR KIDS?

After 10years of conducting a research on ICT! Today in 2019, I still discovered that many Adults still do not know what ICT stand for. Do you? I am not surprised when an adult asked me the question’, What does a 5 year old know about ICT? 

In the imagination of such an adult, He or She might have thought that, the concept of ICT is vague, perhaps since they do not understand it (The Adult), they have no clue about it! Then for young minds it is going to be difficult for them as well! I am very sure you are beginning to agree me with that such adult is still in the 'dream world', if you are an optimistic individual’.

Obviously young minds today can get things faster, grasp stuffs quicker than you think …, their minds at this point can break down complex phenomenon into simplified forms for their assimilations. 

You never can tell what a 5 years old kid knows about ICT until you engage them. Explore my Quick Quizzes in ICT, joggle their minds in that question, tell me what you find out. 

YOUNG MINDS AND GADGETS

Life is all about race’, we may be ‘chasing a thing’or other times something else  chasing us! I will encourage ‘we are the one chasing something’, which indicates, that we are prepared and coordinated. It takes a coordinated lifestyle to chase a thing.

As we raise young minds in Family set up and Environments where we find ourselves, as Parents, Guardians, and General Stakeholders in the formative years of Young Minds, it is expedient we are able to properly give them a good foundation in life, so they can build upon it, knowing that uncertain future beckons, there will be various challenges. 

The presence of numerous Applications in Technology and Transformational Information Age, triggers a lot stimulations. we want to give our Kids Gadgets!  Making ICT Gadgets available for children, without the them having the grasp of the Fundamental Concept of Technology, this possibly could mean ‘Jumping the Gun’ in the journey of ICT Professionalism.

ICT Gadgets are very good, it keeps young restless minds entertained, tamed their spontaneous response to things, and also help in channeling their energy focused! But we should NOT get so carried away because this has a way of leaving them out of the real deal, ‘Understanding the ICT concepts’. Many grown ups have found themselves in situations where they used ICT Gadgets flawlessly but with little or no knowledge of the basic concepts.

That is reason we must harmonise the use of ICT Gadgets with the proper knowledge of the basic concepts of Technology. Furthermore, this prepare them as formidable player in future technology inventor and Innovators; Instead of being spectators they are at the center stage as contenders, others are willing to pay for their services, watch them  use their innovative abilities and skills being displayed on larger screened. The gains are countless!

WHAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE SYSTEM UNIT

The System Unit is very important as well as other Main Parts of the computer. Do you know that there are times we may want to say it is more important than other parts you can see in the computer, the reason for that is because other parts of the computer are connected to it. It is designed to have other parts connected to it.

As we all know that in our human body the 'Mouth' and the 'Brain' cannot perform the same function also the System Unit and other parts like: Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Printer, Scanner, Diskette… cannot perform the same function. This is as a result of the features found on each them including the System Unit.

When you look at the System Unit, the first thing you will discover is that it has views.

In order to discover, know and understand the features of the System Unit, we must identify it views. The views are: Front View and Back view: As you discover it views you will then start seeing the features of the system unit. The following are some of the basic features of a system unit:

          Power button             

          Drives                 

          Slots                      

          Connectors…
