My Hive Introductory post

Hello, "Hivers!" This is Isaiah.

and I'm so excited to get on board after receiving some detailed instructions that emphasized the dos and don'ts of the Hive’s communities. I give credit to @uchihangagato, who has taken his time in helping me understand how I should navigate through this community safely whilst having fun.

Currently, I reside in the lovely Lagos State, which exemplifies the Federal Republic of Nigeria's heritage while also being the most populous.

Lagos is a fascinating city to live in, but it can also be a traumatic experience. I was born and raised here, so I have a lot of memories associated with some of the city's most iconic locations. Not until 1991, Lagos was still the capital of Nigeria before it was shifted to Abuja. As you may have heard, our lovely Lagos has become the focal point for the majority of financial and economic activities in many African countries today. Well, I enjoy talking about Lagos because it is where I spent nearly 90% of my life and where I have so many wonderful memories.

I'm in my mid-twenties, and aside from being enrolled for part-time studies in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering course at one of Lagos' universities,

I've also done a lot of flimsy things to make ends meet. I had previously worked in a plant as an electrician technician.

Not just that, but I'm also a big fan of technological advancements, and I've always wanted to work in the tech and IT fields, which I hope to do in the near future. To stoke my interest in technology, I have always made it a point to delve deep into the internet for research and learning.

I have a great deal of respect for people who have technical knowledge in software or development, so to fuel my passion, I began learning a few things online—a lot of great things, but not limited to knowledge of HTML5, a little CSS, WordPress, and eCommerce site builders like Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, and a few other similar services. Not only that, but I'd also improved my design skills using programs like CorelDRAW, Canva, and Adobe Illustrator, which I use on a regular basis. I decided to join the NFT trend by creating my own art design using some fantastic software, and as a result, I created this amazing character, which I named Sophia after a popular robot.

Despite the numerous online tutorials I had taken for various computer languages, getting into appropriate technology was quite a back-breaking experience for me. My academics, finances, and learning life have always clashed, but it has been a fascinating journey throughout. I'm currently pursuing CCNA certification (Cisco Certified Network Associate), despite the fact that I'm fairly new to the technologies being introduced to me and, to be honest, I haven't been able to fully comprehend and flow with the surroundings, but I'm hoping to make it on the train in

I'm not sure how it happened, but I started to notice that AI robots were the next thing that piqued my interest. In addition, ever since I saw Sophia the Robot, I've been interested in artificial intelligence and the metaverse.

I became Sophia's biggest fan, and I watched nearly every one of her YouTube videos. Please accept my apologies if I did not properly introduce this robot. Sophia was a social humanoid AI robot made by the Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. Sophia was activated on February 14th, 2016, but I didn't find out about her until 2018. She had already visited over 14 countries and had even obtained Saudi Arabian citizenship at this point. This piqued my interest in her even more. She had her own social media pages, so I started following her, so I could keep up with her progress and missions. I recently attended her launch party in Decentraland, where I met some incredible people. The event lasted nearly 22 hours and was a lot of fun.

Undeniably, I was enthralled by this humanoid robot, and early this year she announced her ambassadorship program. I submitted an application and received notification that I had been accepted via email.

This got me so excited that I was going to be an ambassador for the most advanced humanoid robot ever made. I started interacting with her on her private Discord channel, where I met a lot of other people who shared my fascination.

It's been an amazing journey, and she recently presented each of her ambassadors with a limited-edition NFT, which I also received. Artificial intelligence and mobile device technology are two topics that I am very passionate about. I've shared a few articles about AI on social media, and I plan to write more on Hive in the future.

My ambitions for the future remain the same: to be technically competent and to visit some of my dream countries. I could go on and on, sharing a lot of information about myself, but keeping this brief and enjoyable was my preeminent intention. I hope to read about some great Hive users also. This would be great fun!
