World of tech myths! Despite countless efforts to kill them, a host of myths continue to persist. Some of them are result of plain ignorance while a few had genuine lineage but as the technology moves forward, do not hold true anymore. We take a look at 2 of these fallacies and squash them.
1)More mega pixels mean better pictures : Wish it could be true. Because then we all would have been pro photographers. More mega pixels were a big deal when digital cameras were new. But once the threshold of five mega pixels was reached, the number stopped being the most important factor in a camera. In any modern camera, image quality primarily depends on sensor size and quality of lens.
2)Right click refresh makes PC faster : Around 15 years ago, computers were always running out of memory. RAM was very expensive and most computers had just 4MB to 8MB RAM. Then, there were poorly-coded applications that caused memory leaks. This led to the practice of right click refresh on the desktop as by refreshing the display or in other words Explorer, in some cases users quickly reclaimed free RAM after closing a process. On modern computers, which have ample RAM, doing a right click refresh is nothing more than a foolish habit.
