How to Pick the Right Hotel for Lodging

November 21, 2019January 3, 2020

Your hotel accommodation is one of the most important things to plan properly when going on a journey to a new city especially if you plan to stay in that new city or a considerable length of time and you do not have relatives or friends to lodge with. A proper planning is very important as it can help you make the best choice when choosing the right hotel to lodge.

Consider your budget

When choosing a hotel for accommodation at your new destination, the issue of cost must almost always be put first. You must first consider how much you can afford for the hotel accommodation before you go for it. You should have even decided before you leave home on how much you plan to spend on the trip itself and what fraction of that you are dedicating to hotel accommodation. While the issue of cost is very important, you should still consider the safety and comfort the hotel can offer. There is no point in lodging in a hotel if that hotel cannot ensure your complete safety and comfort even if the hotel charges the lowest rate in the city of your destination.

If you are on a very tight budget and do not have much money to book a hotel lodging, you can simply go for a rented hostel or apartment, which will of course cost less for a longer duration than a hotel room. If you have a high budget, on the other hand, nothing should stop you from lodging in a luxurious hotel with all the contents complete.

Helpful tips to save money

Booking a hotel through a booking service can help you to cut cost on hotel accommodation. You can easily get discounted hotel lodging at these online portals and this can help you to save as much as 40% sometimes.

Always read reviews

The reviews will give you an idea of how trustworthy this hotel can be so that you will not end up making a mistake when choosing a hotel to lodge.

The Pros and Possible Cons of 5G Network

October 21, 2019January 3, 2020

5G stands for Fifth Generation of cellular technology. It is considered as the next great thing in the world of technology in that it increases the speed of sending and receiving interne data for wireless device better than ever. If 4G was great, 5G is even far better and can send wireless network at an incomparable speed. The speed we are talking about here has to do with both the latency and the rate at which mobile device users can download data to their devices. 5G helps to reduce latency or lag in data transfer. This way, the experience between sending and receiving internet information is incomparable.

The speed at which 5G delivers data is 10 to 100 times faster than what 4G can deliver. The download speed on 5G network can go as high as gigabits per second (Gb/s) this is far higher than the megabits per second speed you will get if you use 4G network. 5G network makes it easy to download new applications that slow speed of 4G network renders impossible. The gigabits per second speed of the 5G network means a heavy video of hundreds of megabytes can be downloaded within seconds. 5G network also finds application in autonomous driving cars and virtual reality applications. The latency in 5G network is far below 1-millisecond. The incomparable speed of 5G network means that mobile devices that use 5G can send and receive information in a period less than 1/1000^th of a second.

5G network has so many benefits as described above. However, the world will need to create new infrastructure and technology to use the 5G network.

How dangerous is 5G network?

As described above, 5G network has so many benefits. However, the introduction of 5G network also brings various concerns about security. Many even think 5G network has so many health hazard issues. This is especially because of the fact that 5G uses higher energy millimeter-wave radiation.

Studies show that 5G network releases non-ionizing radiation and this will only cause overheating. Some skeptics, however, think that 5G network causes more than overheating but can also be responsible for different types of diseases, including chronic headaches and brain tumors. The investigation about how dangerous or otherwise that the 5G network is far from being concluded; this means that more studies are still ongoing. Technologists are of the opinion that more knowledge is required about the toxicology aspect of the 5G network.

Be that as it may, there seems to be an agreement that the benefits of the 5G network overwhelms all the possible challenges or supposed challenges that may be associated with it. There is also a consensus that the 5G network will transform the way humans interact with the World Wide Web. More will still surface about this unique network in times to come.
