The Benefits of Podcasts and Why You Should Try Them

By

The new trend on the internet is Podcasts. It’s just people talking without any video or images, like audiobooks. They’re being preferred to video and movies by some people, and even though they’ve been around for some time, they’ve only taken off recently, in the past few years. To see what the craze is all about, I decided to use them for some time, and now I think I can give you my own opinion on them. And before we move on please be sure to share this article with your friends and subscribe to the blog as it would really help.


PODCASTS



One of the main reasons I think the Podcasts have taken off is that people are spending a lot more time in front of screens and since podcasts don’t have any video, people like to relax and take a break without any screens while also consuming content. You might have heard of audiobooks: people dictating the book that you would otherwise have to read. Some people have problems with reading because it puts a lot of strain on their eyes. The same goes for podcasts. Since a lot of things are done online nowadays, podcasts give people a break from the screens. They also help some people go to sleep and this can be helpful because using screens before going to sleep can cause problems with your sleep.


There are several apps that you can use to listen to podcasts, including Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Spotify etc. and most of these apps are free. I especially liked Apple Podcasts, but that’s only on Apple devices. If you don’t have an Apple device, I would recommend Google Podcasts, which is free and is available as a web app if you’re using a laptop or a desktop. There are lots of types of podcasts and I’m sure there are podcasts for all kinds of people with all kinds of interests. I, personally, like tech podcasts, and I’ve got quite a few that I listen to a lot. There’s a lot of information that you can get using podcasts and I use them to get some information for this blog, information that I wouldn’t have got otherwise. I think that these podcasts are really helpful, and I’m also listening to one right now.


One of the main groups of people that podcasts are really helpful for the students. Online teaching is THE way of teaching in the time of COVID-19 and students are spending a lot of time on screens nowadays. Podcasts can be really helpful for giving your eyes a break and relaxing without screens while also consuming content. The duration of these podcasts varies depending on what podcasts you’re watching, with some being just over half an hour and some being more than three hours long. I listen to podcasts of all durations, and I don’t usually listen to the whole podcast in one go.


These podcasts are really helpful for me and I would recommend listening to them. They’re great for consuming content while also protecting your eyes. Podcasts will also be really helpful for people who have to do a lot of work on computers. Working on screens for long periods can put a lot of strain on your eyes. Podcasts can help with that, consuming content and going to sleep, so I would recommend that you try them.

LG Wing: The Most Innovative Implementation of Dual-Screens Yet

By
So, LG has officially announced its swively phone: the LG wing. It’s very unique, to say the least. It has two screens, a larger one and a smaller one. But the implementation of these screens is very different from any other dual-screen phone on the market. The screens here are stacked on top of each other and the larger screen is on top. So, how do you get to the second screen? Well, it should be pretty obvious by now that you have to swivel away the first screen to use the second. You can use both screens at the same time and it looks like a T-shape. Now, let’s get into the specs and use cases for this phone. We don’t have a price on it yet but we can discuss the specs and features without the price. Do keep in mind that I cannot make a recommendation on it yet. With all that out of the way, let’s get into it.  LG Wing: The Swively Phone First things first, it’s a 5G phone, so that’s a good thing. The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G. It comes in two versions, one with 8GB...

Note 20 Ultra: The Best of Mobile Productivity?

By
So, Samsung’s Note 20 Ultra caught my attention. It’s a month old phone, and one that people might ignore, but I thought that it was worth talking about. It’s a nice phone, but the price seems to have driven people away. It was advertised as a phone made for enterprise, top-of-the-line users that can spend a ton of money on their phones. Today, we’ll see whether it’s worth the money that it takes to own it. The first thing is the price. This phone has a high price, starting at Rs. 1,04,999 in India and $1,099 in the US. You might think that the price is too high, but you should remember the fact that this is a phone meant for enterprise users, so they can probably afford to spend this much on a phone.  The next thing is the CPU. This phone has Samsung’s own Exynos 990 chipset everywhere except the US, where you get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+. The global CPU, Exynos 990 is Samsung’s CPU, so we can’t compare it, but it’s a very powerful chip, and it is great for productivity. The US ...
