Gap Between What Your Brain Can Do and What You Explicitly Know

Have you ever typed out an email or internet fax without even thinking about the motions that your fingers went through? This is referred to as the gap between the implicit knowledge that cannot be accessed consciously and the things that you are aware on a daily basis. The best way to mess up your piano piece is to concentrate on your fingers; the best way to get out of breath is to think about your breathing; the best way to miss the golf ball is to analyze your swing. These are the things that need to be left alone and let your body take control of these tasks. Another interesting finding about these two different types of memory is that one is completely independent of the the other. While many animals are properly called intelligent, humans distinguish themselves in that they are so flexibly intelligent, fashioning their neural circuits to match the task at hand. It is for this reason that we can colonize every region on the planet, learn the local language we're born into, and master skills as diverse as playing the violin, high-jumping, and operating the space shuttle. So what I am getting at here is that we should all take a moment to appreciate all the work that our brain really does.

TV Side Effects

One of the side effects of watching TV is that it will lower your attention span. Not to mention that we are already scatter brain from all the different phone services and apps and constant feeds. Something obvious about watching large amounts of TV is that they will alter your dreams. I guess the extent of excitement of your dreams will depend on how intense the television shows are that you watching. Better yet, you can actually get rid of that lonely feeling just by watching TV, seriously. People tend to identify with characters and even feel a sense of belonging. Here is a no brainer: it also makes you gain weight. Well I think that it is not the TV directly that makes people fat, you have to sit to watch most TV. People have to get up and move around once in a while. This might be the reason for the obesity epidemic and that kids are getting taken away from their parents. Although, that might be pushing it.

Ban on Cell Phones

Many states are proposing a ban on using phone services in cars, from texting to even talking hands free, besides making emergency calls. One of the glaring problems with that is the issue of enforcing these laws. How would the police know that the person is talking on the phone, to someone in the car, or just singing to themselves? Also, what would deem a call an emergency? Part of the solution to finding people that are using their phone in their car while driving is to use the cell phone equivalent of a radar gun since all phones emit some sort of signal. I find extremely confusing that with all the wonderful statistics out there about people dying because they just need to send that last text or make that phone call, people are still doing it behind the wheel. The other day I saw a guy texting on his motorcycle at a red light and then as soon as the light turned green, he stuck the massive smartphone in his mouth and took off. I was left speechless.

Calling Options

Call transferring is important when running a business so that no one gets a business signal or gets the answering service. Transfer a call while using a simple phone without call control capability. Call Transfer allows you to transfer a call even when your phone does not have a transfer button. To transfer a call, flash the phone (click the flash button or click the hang up button once) then dial the number you would like to transfer the call to. Once the transfer number answers, click flash again and the two callers are connected. If you have Flash Three-Way Calling, instead of transferring on the second flash, you are connected in a conference call. Once in the conference call, if you hang up the phone, the callers remain talking to each other, in effect, transferred. This is one of the best phone service features from BroadVoice because it keeps everything running smoothly and efficiently.

Hacker Skills

With the technology advancing, so are the skills of the hackers. Many companies are actually hiring the self taught hackers to be able to find out their IT weak spots. Some of the things that you hear about in the news seems like science fiction but with the right weakness in the technology, hackers can find loopholes. The idea’s simple, and underlies the methods used today to gain illicit access to computers and related deices: Give a computing device too many balls to juggle by exploiting some programmatic mechanic and it chokes. That’s essentially how hacktivist groups like Anonymous and LulzSec smashed corporate and governmental security measures this year, hobbling web servers and knocking sites and services offline–even allegedly crippling the CIA’s website back in June. This means that not even fax machines let alone internet fax are completely immune.
