Why it is important to clean up the phone storage very frequently?

Why it is important to clean up the phone storage very frequently? IMO I would clean it weekly once as a habit which helps me, 1. To stay organized. I always rush when downloading/copying to downloads and sometimes if I miss it for couple of weeks then it would be like recycle bin. 2. In making me aware of what I have in my phone. Because I don't want to keep any confidential items without knowing. 3. In deleting unused folders as I tend to install many new apps to try out and that would have left several folders which I don't need. 4. To have overall consistent performance by removing unwanted files. When you have less space or more files that would slow down the performance as it had to index it all the time. 5. Several apps like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and news apps will create lots of cache and removing it frequently will help that app to perform well. 6. To check the backup status of important photos and videos as I don't rely on keepin...

Hitler Diaries

The  Hitler Diaries  ( German :  Hitler-Tagebücher ) were a series of sixty volumes of journals purportedly by  Adolf Hitler , but forged by  Konrad Kujau  between 1981 and 1983. The diaries were purchased in 1983 for 9.3 million  Deutsche Marks  ($3.7 million) by the West German news magazine  Stern , which sold serialisation rights to several news organisations. One of the publications involved was  The Sunday Times , who asked their independent director, the historian  Hugh Trevor-Roper , to authenticate the diaries; he did so, pronouncing them genuine. At the press conference to announce the forthcoming publication, Trevor-Roper announced that on reflection he had changed his mind, and other historians also raised questions concerning their validity. Rigorous forensic analysis, which had not been performed previously, quickly confirmed that the diaries were fakes. Kujau, born and raised in East Germany, had a history of ...

Oral Communication

Communication  (from Latin  commūnicāre , meaning "to share" [1] ) is the act of conveying intended  meaning  to another entity through the use of mutually understood  signs  and  semiotic  rules. The basic steps of communication are the forming of communicative intent, message composition, message encoding, transmission of signal, reception of signal, message decoding and finally interpretation of the message by the recipient. The study of communication can be divided into  communication studies , which concerns only human communication, and  biosemiotics , which examines the communication of organisms in general. Communication is usually visual, auditory, or biochemical, while human communication is unique for its extensive use of language .

Word of Mouth

Word of mouth  or  viva voce , [1]  is the passing of  information  from person to person by  oral communication , which could be as simple as telling someone the time of day.  Storytelling  is a common form of word-of-mouth communication where one person tells others a story about a real event or something made up.  Oral tradition is cultural material and traditions transmitted by word of mouth through successive generations. Storytelling and oral tradition are forms of word of mouth that play important roles in  folklore  and  mythology . Another example of oral communication is  oral history —the recording, preservation and interpretation of historical information, based on the personal experiences and opinions of the speaker.  Oral history preservation  is the field that deals with the care and upkeep of oral history materials collected by word of mouth, whatever format they may be in. In marketing, word-o...

News copied from WikiPedia

News  is packaged  information  about  current events  happening somewhere else. News moves through many different  media , based on  word of mouth ,  printing ,  postal systems ,  broadcasting , and  electronic communication . Common topics for news reports include war, politics, and business, as well as athletic events, quirky or unusual events, and the doings of celebrities.  Government  proclamations, concerning royal ceremonies, laws, taxes, public health, and criminals, have been dubbed news since ancient times. Humans exhibit a nearly universal desire to learn and share news from elsewhere, which they satisfy by traveling, talking to each other and sharing. Technological and social developments, often driven by government communication and espionage networks, have increased the speed with which news can spread, as well as influenced its content. The genre of news as we know it today is closely associated with t...
