I have a confession. I am an IT laggard.

The ever changing technology that moves extremely fast makes me feel that I am a laggard. While many of my friends are already updating their lifestyle with cool gadgets, I am still comfortable using my 4-year-old Nokia Express music phone, watching TV via my decade-old bulky tube TV and reading physical books. It is not that I am a technology averse person, it is just that, these cool gadgets are scaring me off. I am not denying on how these gadgets help us human to simplify our hectic life and connect us to information just at the tip of our fingertips. But, the truth is I am afraid of change and adjustment. Adopting new technology means there is some kind of adjustments needed to be done such as you have to learn how this new technology works, the cost of the adoption be it initial or continuous cost and sometime it takes time to learn how to operate these tools properly. 

Being a laggard, I normally adopt to the current trend when they are no more popular among the population. As for now, I am just observing how people use, noticing some problems they encounter, benefits they gain and wait for the cost to go down. And after some time, I will normally be willing to possess those cool gadgets. And talking about that, there are actually few things from these latest technology that I would like to possess. They are as follows:-

We are 'Unified'!!

One day, my 15 years old son asked me, "Mama, do you know how internet works? Do you know how it got connected to our house? Are they using cables?". I was dumbfounded. I could not answer even one of the questions. Being a streamyx user for the past few years, I realize that I am taking things for granted. I never appreciate and concern on how things works around here. Therefore, with the intention of educating my self in the era of ever changing technology and with the co-incidents that I got our house subscribed to the Unifi package,  I would like to make an effort to understand how we are able to enjoy the high speed internet connection at home. The photos in this post were taken during the Unifi installation work. We will first attempt to understand the standard activities described in the Unifi pamphlet, then we will go the the real life installation.  So, let's start with the theoretical understanding on how the TM Point contractors are going to start the installation.
