Tutorial 1- How to automatically setup Defragmentation

Is your computer running slow? When was the last time you defragmented your computer? Defragment is the reorganization of separated fragments. Disk Defragmentation is when your computer stores a file in different locations on the hard drive and your computer works to organize that file in one location so that your file can be read faster. Defragmentation of your hard drive also creates space so that new files can be saved in one location. What this means to you is that your computer speed is increased which allows you to work faster.


Here is an image of a fragmented and defragmented hard drive.

Avatar

I just finished creating my first avatar and found the experience to be a bit interesting. First I struggled how to change my skin color to reflect mines. Then as I continue with the process and I was finishing my avatar I started to notice that this guy I am building is looking nothing like me. I tried many time to switch and change features of the avatar to reflect me. I then started to think well for a computer system they cannot get every single detail of my face together. Finally the avatar is as close as it could get to how I look based on the features they offered. It’s very interesting when someone is trying to build something that reflects themselves they always try to make something perfect. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful journey.
