An intelligent threat!!


Ever talked to Alexa? Who is she? What!! You don’t know? well she is someone who could manage your schedule your data could be accompany you as a friend she isn’t a lady but an amazing creation of Dr.Ashwin Ram .she could wake you up ,play songs for you could talk to you and many more ..sounds nice ?yeah it is but how is it possible ?well that’s what we call science ,science which is growing with drastically high speed so that machines could now learn by themselves without any human help and that’s what we call machine learning .
A machine is now ready to understand human language and could communicate to other machines without any ports or cables .sounds great!!But not really this process of learning leads to the development of machine’s own intelligence path which is known as artificial intelligence. So then what’s the issue?
Well if you have ever seen the movie “Robot “performed by sir Rajnikant this was the best example that explains all about the upcoming threats to the human existence if ever artificial intelligence would took upon the world.
A machine when starts learning itself it might get intelligent even more than the most intelligent man in the world .Now just think for a while would you follow the instructions of a less capable person than you ? No obviously not .Same goes with this artificial brain ,it would start developing its own codes and protocols will start upgrading itself as faster as it could probably humans would lose all of their control upon these machines.
The simplest reason behind this is the biological construction of human body full of limitations its brain has a limitation to absorb things it has a limited lifespan, while machines are simply limitless considerably immortal with expandable memory .scary??
Now let’s start thinking right from the beginning what is a machine??
In simple words anything that could ease our work .now when machines would get smarter they would be replacing humans at the work place.by this the employment rate would greatly affect .slowly slowly machines would start replacing emotional values among humans by their influence, no work, unemployment, easy life either that would makes man inefficient or else the poverty would reach to its highest pace or may be both.
Gradually what we would see is just machines all around .what!!Does it sound scary now?? But wait what if they came up with a thought of destroying man? The entire human race would reach to its end …
So just wait, stop, sit and think for a while, what are we up to upgrading technology or destroying lives??

Khelenge Ji-jaan se – Future of sports in India

“Kaun kehta hai Hindustan me dum nhi hai, ek baar sports me se politics hta kr toh dekho…gali gali me champion milenge.” – R. Madhavan. Movie: Saala Khadoos.
 
Indians are known for their spirit of living and enjoying the life to fullest, being one of the oldest civilization, india gave world the beauty of music, dance and most importantly sports.
Today too many games that are present to the world from India are still being played, so why it seems like this proactive and young generation country of ours has become a lost star in the sky of sports and athletics.
The madness people of India have for cricket is somehow lost when it comes to enthusiasm of other games and sports. I am not saying that liking or mass-liking a single is bad (but maybe obsessing this, like look people tend to behave so badly to the family of the team players if they ever lose a match.)
 
Actually, this is not the real real problem, the problem is lack of interest for sports in our country youngsters.
There was a time when we as students, used to wait for our sports period because it was like a breath of fresh air from our daily activities but sadly this excitement is also vanishing and sports in school has limited itself to a period.
Schools are the 1st place where a kid is exposed to opportunity of bright future, but what will happen to the future of our country where school teaches us that sports is just a EXTRA period.
Kids want to become astronaut (for a short period of time), doctor,engineer,businessmen etc but not a sports person ( not including cricket here) and by chance any kid dares to see this dream then, our ASIAN parents, with a slipper in their hands and guilt trips in their conversation, are more than enough to kill that dream.
These all were problems on personal basis but what about the problems on qider basis. We can see the bureaucracy and corruption embedded in this too.
Inadequate facilities,  irresponsible behaviour, lack of equipment etc are the problems which can be dealt somehow, but what can we do about the officials who cannot see the name and fame of country in front of their hunger.
Sports is one of the most pious form of arts of our body and mind, here, we exerts ourselves to death, sweat infinitely but still get happy and satisfaction with the result.
But mixing politics and corruption with this art is a shameful act for our country.
There are no of obstacles which are in the way of future of sports in India, which can only be dealt by continuously striking the conscience of the authorities.
Firstly, when any sports man is pursuing his/her sport, he or she has to face many obstacles itself on the first step- training, fees,rules and requirements, bureaucracy, red tapism, brown nosing etc.
After this when finally passing through all this struggles   they qualify for any tournament, they will be kept devoid of standard basic facilities. Is this the respect a person should get who is out there, representing our country in front of so many competitors, and try to win for it.
Definitely not, and why only sports person, we should too criticise and raise our voices for our generation, firstly start with schools and persuade them to teach and let them PLAY too, after all SPORTSMANSHIP is also a subject and that too an important one.
Secondly if your child want to pursue his career in any sports, the least you can do is to support him instead of scaring him off from the unforeseen future.
Knock the  door of the authorities too that either they should improve the level of sports in India or they should stop making comments on the no of golds India wind in Olympics while sipping their tea.
And Lastly you, yes you can too do to. No matter what your age is come out and play,encourage others to, take the kids from your neighbourhood and coach them in the game you are good with. To be honest, it will leave you with happiness and less of guilty of not enjoying your life to the fullest. Today’s genration is too aware and is working with government for the betterment of the field. So why not us too.
Sports is not just only a physical exercise, its an emotion which will make you feel confident, I still regret and is salty over  the fact that I wasn’t given an good opportunity otherwise I would also have at least a memory of me where I was happy with the game I loved.
Also isn’t it time of coming of summer vacations !!!, that’s your chance, go out and make a change.
 
Thanks for reading and double thanks if you actually apply it  in your life.

The coming future…

Most, cut that, all of us know the south superstar Rajinikanth, then all of us
would have definitely seen his movie “Robot”. Can anyone remember its
starting and ending, apparently everyone. It was made for betterment of
human and was dismantled in the end because of boundations we can find
in embedding such high level of artificial intelligence in our time period.
But what if it is year…2050, will then too world will face difficulty in adopting
it as an option for everything?
The answer is definitely a no. Our is already filled with different types of
technology which has made our life much more easier, remote controls for
almost every appliances, televisions, desktops, smartphones etc. Can we
even imagine our world devoid of them, of course not, actually not even for
a second. These things have made our foundation of life easy.
Recent studies and long time interest in artificial intelligence has resulted in
many miracles to happen in many fields namely medical, technological etc.
But does it have scope for totally acquiring our lives in near future.
The answer can be both yes or no. artificial intelligence ia a science which
has been providing the thing which humans crave for, and that is comfort.
Saying that A.I. will take over the world is a bit too much, it’s not a sci-fi
movie but real life. A.I. can be explained more properly by addressing it as
a powerful business tool which makes thing”comfortable” for both
customers and businessmen.
Some of the experts, including Stephen Hawkings, think that invention of
smart machines will have a big impact on our future and also our present.
We humans were able to create a society on the basis of interaction with
fellows and taking the information from not only external but internal world
too, which is quite difficult for any machine.
But in recent period of time, robotics and other kind of A.I. have made an
tremendous growth. Back to when robots had basic problem solving
programmes which were not able to learn from past experience and
incidents to present when they can understand any image content and
interpret or transcribe it. This is a development in itself.
Now come to next level, this where the entry of millenial- Android robotic
happens. The most precious, epitome of artificial intelligence, especially
humanoids, with special and on point features, one cannot distinguish
between a real human and a humanoid. They are made for assistance in
day to day tasks and interactions to all the age groups whether a child or
an elderly.
The level of integrity in these humanoids is commendable.
But again the problem which interrupts the whole process is the emotions
and decision making capabilities based on on both exterior and interior
conditions, for example these AI is programmed with some destructible
commands then it will lose its whole purpose of serving the generation.
Or in second scenario, it is programmed to do something beneficial but it
develops some destructible methods to achieve it. It is a high possibility
that AI can be competent enough to complete goal but also it can
misaligned with our vision of development.
The interaction between human race and machines can be productive and
positive for world, but the level of ambiguity in this sentence is very high
even the scientist and researchers and debating on this topic if AI and its
increased involvement in our lives in needed or not or it is safe or not.
Several societies and experts support the idea of development and several
are against the notion…
Like every subject tend to have, this topic too have both sides of opinion on
the fact that AI will take over world and most importantly humans, but is too
early to make such statements now. If humans and AI and humans are  successful in fusing and interfacing our minds it will be one of the greatest
evolutions of the time, but as said this issue is a bit far now.
This is something inevitable, today, tomorrow or after 50-100 years, it is
bound to happen, may be right or wrong, may be not in the way we wanted.
All we can do is wait and watch ( also keep ourselves alive) to find out
what’s in the pockets of future.
Feel free to join the conversation.
Thanks for reading 🙂

Smart homes- Future at our doorsteps

 

 
When sometimes we are not home, several little doubts start to crowd our mind. Did I turn the
coffee maker or fan off? Did I activate the security system etc.
The solution to all these worries is SMART HOMES… Yes guys smart homes, where with a glance on your Smartphones you can put an end to all these worries. Smart home is a concept where any of your electrical appliance can be connected to your mobile phone and can be controlled from it no matter how far away we are from home, at your mere command, Isn’t that fascinating in itself. It can be in form of Voice command, remote control, tablet or smartphone
application.Many popularly used applications are for lighting, homes security, home theatre and thermostat regulations.
Once this concept of smart homes or such technologies was saved for tech savvy and rich status holder but nowadays smart homes or we can say home automation is becoming mere regular and a common feature among household appliances. We can say that these products are finally maturing into a full blown consumer trend. Sales of home automation was valued at
USD 39.93 lion 2016 and is expected to reach USD 79.57 billion by 2022 [Source: marketsandmarkets] We can say that its idea came from success of smart phones and gadgets. X10, Insteon, Zig Bec and Z-Wave are some of organisations which provide only fundamental technology such as protocols for smart home communication. They have created alliance with electronics manufacturers who actually build the end user device, for starters, we can think of the routine and most basic tasks of our routine life we do and automate them, then we could begin with lighting control kit and add on security devices later. If you are looking such professionals, check if they have CEA-compTIA certification which is a result between Consumers electronic Association(CEA) and computing technology industry association(CompTIA) which is a non profit trade association issuing professional certificates for
Information technology industry. It represents proficiency in maintaining and
installing-troubleshooting of any networking equipments for home.
The cost of smart homes depend upon how smart a home is. For example one builder may estimate that his client may spend between $10,000 to $250,000 for sophisticated systems.
Some example of smart home product and their functions are cameras that will track home’s exterior despite being pitch black outside, LEd lights, color and brightness can be controlled by smartphone, caution sensors sending alert on motion around house which would tell difference
between pets and burglars, smartphone integration may let you turn off appliances from your mobile, auto alert in case anything goes wrong like fire , gas leakage etc.
This hierarchy started from way back 1975, when a scot company designed X10. It allowed electronic and compatible products to communicate to each other via existing electrical wires at home.
It was dedsigned to perform all commands in less than a second but had its own limitations. “Noisy lines” was one of them .
To tackle such problem new systems use radio waves for the process which uses bluetooth, wi-fi and phone signals to operate. Two of the most popular and prominent wireless networks in
home automation are Zib Bce and Zwave, both of these are mesh networks, which means the message has more than one means to reach the destination.
This is the future which is currently in the process of spreading out and effecting the mindset of consumers. This system provide exactly what a busy person living in the hustle bustle of his fast moving life wants, comfort, reassurance, speed, ease of work and many more such perks which can be listed here.
Increasing flat culture in cities is also one of the main reason in the increased use of such smart devices which would not only provide us with some ease but also a standard of living.
That’s all for today, if you have any more of such amazing information on technology of home automation, please do drop in comment box.
