Technology-The Safe Advancement ? -By Santiago

Technology –The safe advancement?

“You are now reading the sample text.”

Did you notice the little spaces in between the words? They look unimportant but it is quite useful after the invention of “Space “  in Middle ages.

For a thousands of year after the discovery of writing spaces were not used . Weusedtoreadlikethis.

Long lines of letters ran together across the length of the scroll or the page. Reading in those days was a trial. Your brain cranked away as you tried to decipher where one word ended and the next began. No one read silently. To decipher a word, you had to say it out loud.

Then people started on literature our mind not only became smart , advanced but also literally rich.

Today, a counterrevolution is under way. As the computer and cell phone become our main reading devices, the book is being pushed to the periphery of culture.

Reading from a screen is very different from reading from a book. A book provides a shield against distraction, allowing us to focus our entire attention on an author's narrative or argument. When text is put onto a screen, it enters what the science fiction writer Cory Doctorow terms an "ecosystem of interruption technologies." The words have to compete for our attention with links, e-mails, texts, tweets, Facebook updates, videos, ads and all the other visual stimuli that pour through our computers.

But let’s leave these things behind and start the main topic about latest technologies we will get back to it towards the end of this post

What is programming language?

If we speak in a layman’s language then it is a way to communication between a Homo Sapien and machine.

In more advanced or geeky way it means that “ The language with a set of rules who has some syntax and semantics that converts High level language to low level language”.

Programming language and future?

We are using a “program” in every form. From your mobile to even your stopwatch. All the information’s  that we have is being stored in some form of the combination of 010101101010101...........  Your wall clock is also a mechanical program, triggered to rotate at every interval of 60 seconds.

In short we are completely surrounded by conventional or unconventional programmes.

Now I am heading towards the final issue of this post.

How Secure are we?

Edward snowden, they guy who exposed that NSA ( National Security Agency) that it has been reading all the personal mails , chats of almost every people. They have been spying on your sensitive information .

Well, few of you will say that they are looking for potential terrorist attacks and plans against their countries.

They are government, they have supreme power? Are they secure? I would say NO.

Do you guys remember Julius Ansage,  the creator of WIKILEAKS.

He exposed the private informations between the governments.

If the government of the most powerfull nation is unsecure then are we?

This is because we are too much dependent on Machines. All our information and even our identity is stored virtually.

What if someone’s erase your complete identity ?

No affiliation to any University ? No records of your passing of class X or XII , your PAN card, ATM , Bank accounts are gone. THEN ??

Think about it. It is a very important issue that is going on to lead several cyber crimes.

Machines and technology were made to make our work easy. They are making our life easy by making it more and more complex and quite easy to be misused.

THINK ABOUT IT !

Current Affairs & Upcoming Technology in Computer Science:

Introduction:

Career in IT is considered one of the most high-paying jobs and is full of opportunities; particularly when India’s prowess in information technology industry is recognized across the globe. The pool of talented computer engineers working in IT companies of the USA and Canada shows that IT can take a person to higher levels. Numerous IT companies from India employ huge number of computer professionals in their Indian and overseas offices.

 v Gesture Recognition Technology. (Current Used)

Gesture recognition is a topic in computer science and language technology with the goal of interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms. Gestures can originate from any bodily motion or state but commonly originate from the face or hand. Current focuses in the field include emotion recognition from the face and hand gesture recognition. Many approaches have been made using cameras and computer vision algorithms to interpret sign language. Gesture recognition can be seen as a way for computers to begin to understand human body language, thus building a richer bridge between machines and humans than primitive text user interfaces or even GUIs (graphical user interfaces), which still limit the majority of input to keyboard and mouse.

Current Example: Samsung Galaxy S4, Micromax Canvas 4.

 v         Palm Vein Technology. (Current Used)

An individual first rests his wrist, and on some devices, the middle of his fingers, on the sensor's supports such that the palm is held centimeters above the device's scanner, which flashes a near-infrared ray on the palm. Unlike the skin, through which near-infrared light passes, deoxygenated hemoglobin in the blood flowing through the veins absorbs near-infrared rays, illuminating the hemoglobin, causing it to be visible to the scanner. Arteries and capillaries, whose blood contains oxygenated hemoglobin, which does not absorb near-infrared light, are invisible to the sensor. The still image captured by the camera, which photographs in the near-infrared range, appears as a black network, reflecting the palm's vein pattern against the lighter background of the palm. An individual's palm vein image is converted by algorithms into data points, which is then compressed, encrypted, and stored by the software and registered along with the other details in his profile as a reference for future comparison.

 v  Mind Reading Computers. (Upcoming)

Drawing inspiration from psychology, computer vision and machine learning, the team in the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge has developed mind-reading machines - computers that implement a computational model of mind-reading to infer mental states of people from their facial signals. The goal is to enhance human-computer interaction through empathic responses, to improve the productivity of the user and to enable applications to initiate interactions with and on behalf of the user, without waiting for explicit input from that user.

 v          Li-Fi Technology. (Upcoming)

Whether you’re using wireless internet in a coffee shop, stealing it from the guy next door, or competing for bandwidth at a conference, you’ve probably gotten frustrated at the slow speeds you face when more than one device is tapped into the network. As more and more people and their many devices access wireless internet, clogged airwaves are going to make it increasingly difficult to latch onto a reliable signal. But radio waves are just one part of the spectrum that can carry our data. What if we could use other waves to surf the internet? One German physicist, DR. Harald Haas, has come up with a solution he calls “Data Through Illumination”—taking the fiber out of fiber optics by sending data through an LED light bulb that varies in intensity faster than the human eye can follow. It’s the same idea behind infrared remote controls, but far more powerful. Haas says his invention, which he calls D-Light, can produce data rates faster than 10 megabits per second, which is speedier than your average broadband connection. He envisions a future where data for laptops, smartphones, and tablets is transmitted through the light in a room. And security would be a snap—if you can’t see the light, you can’t access the data.

Li-Fi is a VLC, visible light communication, technology developed by a team of scientists including Dr Gordon Povey, Prof. Harald Haas and Dr Mostafa Afgani at the University of Edinburgh. The term Li-Fi was coined by Prof. Haas when he amazed people by streaming high-definition video from a standard LED lamp, at TED Global in July 2011.
