This is someone that can easily answer in a flick of a finger. What I'm saying is the explanation scientifically. So, let's start with the basics.
First is the screen you're looking at. It's a LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) screen with implemented technologies like AMOLED. There are 2 types of touchscreens. There are resistive, there are capacitive. The difference is that the resistive needs more pressure so that the touch will be registered. Compared to the capacitive. Capacitive are what composes most of touchscreens today.
LCD emit RGB lighting. RGB stands for Red Green Blue which are the colors that makes up an image. Now, research shows that when we are directed with blue light ray to our eyes, our minds somehow wakes up.
And I've proven that because I have an app in my smartphone with a blue background. I was sleepy and when I opened that app, my sleepiness decreased. The effect lasts long enough that it makes you wanna use your device again because you're not drowsy.

Technology Tip #6: How Temperature is Generated from our Devices
What am I talking about? How heat is generated? Are you okay Micro? That's self explanatory! It heats up because you use it. It's that simple! It just that....
Of course I know how heat is generated. What I'm saying is how it is generated scientifically.
Okay lets start by the most common thing that generates heat, Energy.
Energy as we all know cannot be created nor destroyed but, it only transfers to other energies or transformed. Energy is coming from power which is the electrons that flows through your device. Now, the amount of electrons required to power up a component depends on how much ohms or resistance that conductor has. The grater the resistance, the greater amount of electrons which means more power and more energy. As it travel through the conductor, power generates heat energy that's why it creates heat. The more power, the more heat. Now you getting the point? If there are no resistance, then there would be no heat because lesser power is required.
Is there ever a conductor that have no resistance? Yes there is! Some group of researchers and scientists are developing something that doesn't have any resistance. That can be the future of computers which means, no more heat output and throttling! But in order to achieve the no-resistance state, the "thing" must be in absolute zero temperature. That's the main objective now, how to sustain absolute zero temperature without the assistance of cold environment.

Graphics Options Explained
For some people that just cranks up the graphics options in their games or other applications that uses these options but doesn't really notice any difference in the graphics. Here's a detailed page in PC Gamer that explains everything Graphics related. :)

Technology Tip # 5: The Best Location for your Task Bar
For me, the best location for the task bar in Windows PC's are at the left and right side. Because, the width of the monitor is much larger than its height. This is my scientific explanation on why it is better to move your taskbar to the left or the right. The only disadvantage that I know is that you have to move your mouse more to the left or right edge of the screen depending on the location of your taskbar. In Windows 8, you don't have to point to the top-right or top-left corner of the screen to go to the start menu. The start screen is still there at the bottom-left. You don't need to adjust where to point your mouse when going to the start screen when you move the taskbar. But still, it's you opinion on where is the best location for the taskbar. In my analysis, the left and right sides are the best location,. Regardless of where the start button is.

My "Lost Hobby"
Recently,I've been busy with something that I call a "lost hobby". It became my hobby when I was fourth year. How did it became my hobby? Well, my classmates were doing some doodle and I was amazed of how do they do those things. I myself wanted to do some amazing things. So I got into the hobby of doodling. What I first doodled didn't look what I was expecting. It was a disaster, and my classmates were teasing me that my work is horrible. It really became my past time. Although I need a lot of time and light for the work to be done. I purchased some drawing specific pens that costs me not that much but, hurts your wallet. I drew and I drew then I watched some video on Youtube on how to doodle good and some of that stuff. Then days and weeks passed, I've been noticing my works are looking better then ever. So, I uploaded my works online and some likes there and that. My works are bundled in an album in my profile in Facebook. So, here's a teaser of my latest work:
This is the bottom part of the doodle. Above that is the name itself.
Some of you may say, "that doesn't look good". Well, we have different tastes on how do things work around the world. So your taste didn't match mine.

Technology Discipline
What is Technology Discipline?
Accdg. to my own definition, it is the art of controlling oneself from technology. E.g. don't use your phone when talking to someone, learn to turn off your gadgets when it is time to sleep.
What I mean is, technology makes us anti-social and sometimes becomes a great distraction. I see some people use their phones instead of talking to people. Chatting is not always okay because you don't know what the person is really going through or what is the real reaction. Compare it to personal talking, you get to see his/her reaction to what you said and you get an immediate reply. Imagine this, when you're talking to someone then the person you're talking to uses his/her phone, then you will surely lose interest in talking to him/her because of the phone. And this applies to you too, the other person will lose interest in talking to you when you use your phone while talking. Except, that is, when what you're talking about includes usage of phones. Then that is perfectly normal!
Learn when to use your devices. These things can and will destroy you if you allow them to be your way of living life. Here's a video I found on the web that tells something about technology discipline:

Technology Tip # 4: Temperatures
Some people don't usually care about the temperatures of their devices. While others are freaked out to see the temperatures of their devices go up the numbers. These things are not that important to other people, it really does matter.
Temperatures of devices affect the performance of the device. The chips and the electronics that are installed in your devices are all configured to throttle down their power input especially computers. Smartphones and tablets are not usually configured this way. It goes like this:
More power = more performance = more heat
Less power = less performance = safer temperatures
They throttle themselves to be saved from the doom of melting. People often don't know this but now you do! You notice why the game runs fast at first then after about 1-2 hour/s of gameplay, the game just got slower and you'll be freaked out to know that something bad happened. That's just your video card saving itself from doom!
Another note to temperatures is that depending on the throttling powers of your devices, the electronics may have reduced lifetime. Because of heavy operation and temperatures, the chips will wear down when it conducts heat. You can't deny physics!
