The DreamGaze Glasses are among one of the most useful things that I have purchased on Amazon site.
The glasses which have a tinted color on the lenses are very useful at blocking out blue light on multiple types of electronics such as cell phones, tablets and computers.
I use my computer heavily and I used many brands, but they were often insufficient to protect my eyes from the blue light. I would often be exhausted and tired after using some glasses. This did not occur when I was using the DreamGaze glasses. They are lightweight and easy to use. Unlike some I got from Walmart which were breaking after using them for a bit, the DreamGaze glasses are very durable.
The glasses are not that expensive. The Gaming version of the DreamGaze glasses were only $12.99 on the site. There are also other version such as “Clear” and “Night Vision”.
Considering the price of these glasses. I think they are worth the money. The Gaming glasses are considered “Amazon Choice” which means they are highly rated by the company and ready to ship quickly to your house.
I recommend buying the DreamGaze Glasses if you use your computer alot in the evening or in the morning hours.
Mercari is a website that offers casual selling for internet users. It was founded in Japan, making it one of those odd Japanese native sites that actually has a presence in America. The site has been struggling to make money in America but I just created an account today and I just listed my first item, a Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones DVD, widescreen; this DVD came in an age when DVDs were important to the revenue stream of movie companies. I have already gotten 10 views after putting it on the site.
The question that I am asking here is this: Is Mercari the future of Japanese E-Commerce dominance?
Japan, being a society driven by the willingness to maintain its traditions was slower to embrace the internet than the United States. The Japanese mentality was to focus more on integrating mobile internet into their daily lives. However, this also meant that Japan was focused on its hardware not the software. This focus on hardware would prove one of the reasons why Japan fell behind in Information Technology while America and China continued to innovate in software engineering.
Mercari is the odd one out and represents something interesting in Japan. This is a Japanese site that has gotten much traction among the public in the country. In America it has been struggling somewhat but based on my interactions with the site, it seems that there is steady number of users who are trying to sell on there.
eBay is already heavily entrenched in the ecommerce market in America. Can Mercari really make a difference and gain a foothold in America.
What I think that Mercari has is the ease of use. Unlike the eBay app, Mercari makes it easy to sell items online. Ebay has entrenched buyers who have been on the site for many years and it makes it tough for someone just starting out to sell on there.
All it takes to list an item is to put in a couple boxes and you have a listing and people are ready to buy it. Ebay is better for power sellers, but it can be very confusing for a generation of users who grew up mostly interacting with the internet on phones not their desktops. Mercari is prefect fit for many Millennials and Gen Z types who simply want a storefront without all the messiness involved with it.
That is why I think in spite of the struggles it has having now, Mercari will probably be successful in at least Japan and then spread out to other countries. It is great that we are now going to get some competition in ecommerce. Competition will make the internet great again.
The age of Passwords is in its twilight years, and this recent hack showcases the need for a move towards passcodes.
Today according to Cybernews.com, they had researcher find out that massive data sets have 16 billion passwords exposed. What is more concerning is that alot of this data is new and not just a trove of passwords from other previous breaches.
We need to start moving away from passwords in my opinion. While passwords were reasonable in the past, they are too vulnerable now. It is time for change now.
How to move away from Passwords: Choose the Passcode
Microsoft and Google are attempting to move away from passwords. These titans in software have made an attempt to give their customers an ability to change over to passcodes.
Why are Passcodes better than Passwords?
In my experience, Passcodes are more convenient than having to store tons of passwords in your browser. It is a simple and easy passcode that you type in and you do not have worry about remembering them either.
Passwords are exposed in our age
Passwords can be lying in a server for 1990s websites for years. Such aged passwords can be a problem for cybersecurity in the future. Many older websites such as Yahoo and Google have userbases that are older than that of TikTok or Snapchat. The latter sites were born in a time when automatic logins using Google and Facebook accounts was more widespread than before the mid 2000s. The time is now to move towards passcodes
Hackers are getting smarter at stealing passwords
Hackers are as persistent as ever and are not going to give up now. The time is now to start thinking about moving towards passcodes. We have seen the many data breaches for many years now. Why is taking so long for us to take cybersecurity seriously? People’s identities are at stake in digital age, and we need to start taking hygiene with the at most seriousness that we take such manipulations in our system in the analog realm. It is by preventing for the future we can prevent these data breaches from affecting cyberspace too much.
Caution serves you the best on the Internet
Even after years of using the internet, people are still not able to secure their accounts. What people need to do is this: the best offense is the best defense. The best offense in this situation is taking charge of your own cyber hygiene. Make sure you have passwords that are hard to crack, and you do not post any personal information online. However, the best way to secure your accounts is to transition towards passcodes to secure your information online so you can rest assured your actions on the internet will be under your sovereignty as a citizen.
