Things I practice for my future: Electronics | And a little reflection
As I said in my introduceyourself a few days ago, I am 16 years old and well, not only do I go to school and simply study and hand in my homework, I also (obviously) look for opportunities with cryptocurrencies and practice electronics.
Thanks to the cryptocurrencies I have known many sources of income throughout my journey, although all were temporary and the crypto market did not collaborate in it either, the only platform where I participated so actively and I wanted to do so much is Steem, that's why I'm here, hello!
But in order to get into the crypto world, I had to have something to inspire me, I just can't do something I don't like even though I need it, so actually my motivation for all this was electronics.
Yeah, there's an amazing S10 on the laptop
Unfortunately that phone is not mine, it was a person who needed to back up all his files on a laptop and, while doing so, my instinct told me "Hey, take a picture and talk about it in Steem", so here it is.
My inspiration for electronics came from gaming, I'm someone who is very passionate about games, although since I started working with cryptocurencies I don't play much, sometimes I spend time with my friends playing something like League of Legends (it's the only thing I can play for now). But hey, what's gaming got to do with electronics?
Personally, I think a lot, when you try to play GTA V on a desktop PC with an Intel Pentium and see that it just doesn't start, you realize that something is wrong, right? It was here where I started to read about why the hell I couldn't play, finding myself with a big wall (and one of the biggest disappointments in my life). In order to play current games, you must have a modern computer (dedicated to gaming or even graphic design) or simply build a monster based on what you want to do, that is, buy the pieces and then assemble them as a Lego.
I obviously don't have the resources to have something like that, but at least I can explain it (after 3 years watching videos of people playing the best games on the market, you get used to just watching and hoping that someday you can play it).
May be of interest: I have a laptop that I bought thanks to
@neoxian, is the one that has allowed me to work better in Steem and to play League of Legends at more than 60 FPS (go from always playing 15-10 FPS to +60 FPS is an INCREDIBLE change) though, to kill illusions: my lap only has a i7-3537U and 8 GB of RAM :')
What you can see above is the desk that my neighbor lends me to practice, he is the one who is teaching me to work more deeply with electronics and who gives me the necessary resources to learn. Oh, and I must say that I'm currently working with phones because I really feel completely experienced with computers (or at least I can fix them even if the power supply explodes <- it happened to my previous desktop pc, it had 1 GB of RAM and an Intel Pentium, that's where I started, that nostalgia).
I can't work because of my age, that's why I started working with cryptocurrencies, something completely incredible is that I wanted to earn money because I wanted (and want) a pc gamer and in the end I ended up wanting to contribute something financially to my family (life goes round and round haha).
But, while I wrote all this I realized something: It doesn't matter if you don't have enough resources, if you propose something, you can do it and nothing will stop you, inspiration and motivation are really things that can allow you to do great things, if you want to do something, just go for it.
You want a demonstration of that? Just look at my desk:
First of all: I'm sorry for the mess, but as you can see, I don't have many tools to be able to do things properly, I almost always have to improvise and a proof of that is the lamp you can see there (the stick holding it is a broken broomstick).
Thank you if you got here! Maybe in some future I'll start doing tutorials about all these things, I don't know, it depends on how everything progresses.
