The Earth’s Core – That Matters – Mankind’s Energy Quest

PSquareLeave a comment

I will not be surprised if in the quest of #energy (sources) with the ever demanding need of energy even involved in new innovations/technologies – energy hunger and energy greed, man will explore the #Earth’s core!

Yes, the EARTH’s core that has all condensed energy (kind of unlimited source of energy – Earth’s life time!) and the matter that binds and holds it all together!

The mankind will try to harness the energy, layers after layers fields magnetic fields one after the other still far from the core, and then upto it!

That misadventure & absolute exploitation of the earth will be devastating & ultimately self-destructive!

First it was #Nature, then the Earth core! #OnTheEarthIntoTheEarth #InsideTheEarth

KNOW WHEN TO STOP.

#FacialRecognition: where are we today? Future?

PSquareLeave a comment

FacialRecognition! Where are we today?

Not just Phone/SmartPhone, wherever in use or to be, how capable is the current set / technology & #AI today in terms of FaceDetection & FacialRecognition?

e.g.: Can a #iPhone/X (if not #LGPhone) detect a face damaged/burnt? Can #AADHAAR detect & authenticate a damaged/burnt face correctly?

Condition: facial security was set before the incident. 

Can an acid attack survivor, burns/accident/attack survivor be able to unlock/lock the device / pass the authentication in any security/ID?

How’s Google, Amazon, Microsoft or even any start-up or entity in this context?

Google’s AI over drawing(freehand on-screen) face detection I had tried online a few months back, but not to the expectation. It gave me a different result of a non-living object!

Is it safe to conclude that in case of facial makeover, transplant or any mutation it will go undetected?

It’s not about using mask scenarios, but real incidents.

What about patients with memory loss and so on?

Machine Learning be in this direction.

Gone Cases: Eyes/Iris if damaged. Fingers if gone? Voice/Speech: if sore throat or gone?

The nations / govt. & military/defence/security should have mechanism to detect a false face / impersonation.

That should be the roadmap. The future.

(Next: Sci-fi/Tech / Movies, bring me in!)

The most disrupting/buzzing word/term/happening of the year 2017 & the list (by Prabeen)

PSquareLeave a comment

The most disrupting/buzzing word/term/happening of the year 2017 & the list (listed by Prabeen)

  1. “disrupt” – the “most buzzing word/term/prefix in the world of technology & everywhere” of the year 2017 & pre-: (my diagram incomplete).

2. BitCoin – the sensational rise & rise & the invitation to scrutiny thereby ->volatility. Most buzzing thing and controversial thing of late.

3. AI – Artificial Intelligence:

The most common revolutionary disruptive word/phrase & happening / reality in the world throughout not just technology.

4. 4th (Fourth) Industrial Revolution.

Yes it’s happening already & AI is just a part of it.

5. VR – Virtual Reality

6. AR – Augmented Reality

**************************************************

Let’s bit go one level details in broader category wise:

  1. disrupt:

#disrupt / disrupts / disruption / disruptive

  • disrupting technology / idea…
  • disruptive innovation
  • disrupting policy
  • digital disruption

As stated, the most common revolutionary disruptive word/phrase & happening / reality in the world not just technology:

  1. (2) AI Artificial Intelligence

(& related pre- happening – underneath & along-with:

2.3 Big Data + 2.1 Machine Learning + 2.2 Analytics)

#AI, (apart from (4) mobile), my personal point of view, I was very sure & had visualized; & also responded to my uncle way back in the year 2008 when he asked what’s the next big thing or future of technology;

& future of IT / jobs: IT market far from being saturated. Gov-based lots of opportunities. There would be job losses but also new paradigm shift & opportunities from time to time.

4. Virtual Assistant (related to AI)

5. Mobile – Mobility. Mobile Platform (always buzzing and so common that buzzing is not even a word).

6. Touch (Touchable User Interface) . Self-explanatory.

7. Speech Recognition (again self-suficient)

8. Facial Recognition (LG used it, but Apple / iPhone hyped it and justified it)

9. Connected: connected network. connected world. connected things.

10. #IoT (under / related to 9) – Internet of Things (carries over from past year)

11. BlockChain (financial transactions / logs / institutions)

12. CryptoCurrency (under/related to 11) – Most / Top controversial technology thing.

13. (3) BitCoin (under/related to category 8! but actually at #2or 3.) (- the sensational rise & rise & the invitation to scrutiny thereby ->volatility. Most buzzing thing of late. It’s not just bit of a coin! Very complex and complicated and energy-sapping. Most / No.1 controversial technology thing + term especially of late.

Yes, all these years, even I’ve been a silent spectator as many. Never knew how to invest nor have the resources/money to invest.

Most underestimated or under-/not-hyped but used and really effective/relating word/term/thing: “unified“.

14. #unified: unified stack, unified architecture => unified connected world

Happening in the background not very hyped or vocal:

15. OpenBank project. (Financials+Credit/Loans. Transactions. Logs. History. Eligibility)

16. Trend in Collaboration (actually one top thing).

17. Architecture: Open.x Open Architecture

Obvious & common use:

18. Cloud

19. Machines / Robots

20. Automation

(1) human at the centre (center)/core of it all.

These will continue for the next year as well. More are there but let me stop here for the time-being.

It’s the Christmas Eve and still Eric is busy, in fact, lost in fixing his next big thing in Telecommunications. He has been working relentlessly more than passionately to make it on the floor, I mean his next breakthrough technology. But he has just been missing something to rock it and roll on. He has been so lost and out of touch with his own life, his family – the world that matters to him the most.
As Ena (Eric‘s wife) has been carrying and almost all alone taking care of their baby who is about to come out to this lively world! As the the doctor’s team are putting their best efforts to make it all smooth for Ena and the baby, Ena has been obviously missing Eric by her side for a long long time. In fact, Eric has even forgotten all that he and Ena are going to be parents and the medical team is even in their house for Ena!
As the Christmas Eve is all set to make a transition into Merry Christmas, there comes the new baby out to the world! The baby child’s first cry just makes the whole house and surrounding so lively and musical that suddenly Eric even jumps with happiness than out of joy in his confined world! The medical delivery teams shouts with joy ‘it’s a boy…’, Ena is so happy after lot of pain she has had to go through, Eric rushes to the room! Every body is so ecstatic and here goes Merry Christmas in chorus! Eric holds on to the baby and says to Ena, “it’s our baby, our son”! Ena befittingly with a smile says to Eric, “Yes Eric, it’s your son, it’s my son, it’s our son! You are a father, and how can I express how it has been feeling being a mother!”. Eric and Ena are so happily close to each other now with the baby. It doesn’t matter to them whether it’s a boy or a girl! They are relishing the moment that they are again truly together and smiling!

Eric realises, the best innovation in the world is Life! Now he realises he has been part of this eternal innovation! He realises all the science, technology, equipment etc. don’t matter at all in front of this greatest natural innovation ‘Life‘. As we communicate our feelings, the joy through our smiles, eyes and some uttered and expressed words! Everything else is secondary and they will keep coming.

(As very soon Eric gets it all right virtually with little effort in his gigantic innovation lab.)

iOS and ICS more than just Apple-Google! Is it just some coincidence?

PSquare1 Comment

Man! Is it just coincidence or what!? Android 4- ICS. We had iOS4 for a good long time. Apple showered iOS5, though the phone name remains iPhone4S. Uhhhh…Google closing in on the features and versions of their OS with Apple’s iOS! Well, ICS (if not iCS) will be their base now!
Patterns:
iOS – ICS (pronunciation; and vowel ‘O’ replaced with the consonant ‘C’)
Apple – Google (aka Android – well did they deliberately put an ‘A’; and -le postfix of course as in Apple; consonant ‘G’ against vowel ‘A’; ‘o’ – a vowel repeats twice against the twice-occurring consonant ‘p’!? Of course extra ‘g’. Also, both the companies started from something else and now famous for successful mobile phones and the implementation )

Funnier Crazy Variations: pronouncing iO hmmm Yo, WoW; or more to say Ohhhh! (expressing an Yo/Wow factor in their design and overall end product use experience)
(well, in the Southern Indian languages, hmmm Aiyyo, in Odia: Aai, Ohhh; in Marathi, Aai Ga; in the northern Indian languages: Aai O)

Pronouncing IC, hmmm… I See! (meaning I can see they are good, too)

Packaging further, iOS and ICS both have S (oops! even the non-soft and hardcore Microsoft has S,too – Windows and they have not relinquished the S factor from the mobile OS, too keeping it the same name Windows, if not windoWS nor iWS!) and with their S factor, they have all got YeS from the owners, (app) developers and most crucially the users – end users!
And look at the S factor in the name of the co-founders!
Apple: STEVE Jobs (SJ)
Google: SERGEY Brin (SB)
(let’s not go into Microsoft’s CEO STEVE Ballmer; Well, some S have to be meant for Success!)

The “i” and Steve Jobs

PSquareLeave a comment

On the auspicious occasion of VijayaDashamii, the soul celebrates the freedom and the eternity as it departed from the cancered body! Cancer was just a reminder to us that the body is a body, a temporary form and shape! The soul will gain another form and shape in the name of someBODY and again be in Sync !
The soul was at peace as it could contribute finally to India , where the body and mind got actually reunited in Sync with the Soul through Spiritual Enlightenment! The uniting and Syncing of Inner and Outer! The latest strategy shift of Apple in form of products, services, marketing towards India shows that – iStrategy!
iP* – I Product! Iconic Product(s)! Inherently Productive, Infectiously Positive, Inherently Portable, Inherently Present, Inherently Prevalent!
iPod (a medium of sound and music, iMusic) was pricey yet not so pricey though! But what Apple was lacking at least in the area of mobile phone presence in India, it’s starting to fill the vacuum through its series of iPhone (not to be iPrice)! iPad is the tablet! iOS is just starting to fill the small yet most significant features for the users across! So ‘I’ for Implementation! Not just the spread of iTunes (iThink, IT)!
So the iSoul was at iEase and at iPeace! As it’s known Steve died peacefully!
iSteve not any more in the world of the alive! But Inner Spirit eternal! The identity of S, is evergreen!
The day for the Wall Street be remembered the iStreet!
Steve Jobs, you have never departed! Because you will be remembered not as the physical body and form we have seen, but as the great phenomenon, the great soul through its contribution chain of innovation and inspiration in the form of products better known as revolution!
A JOB Well Done! iSoul!
A toast to the iCreativity, iScience, iTechnology!

The APPLE was a BYTE earlier, now it’s starting to be a full APPLE! So FRESH again!

The time for iSport! Towards iPerfection!

The ‘I’ Eye of Eyes!
‘I’ – EYE! The Eye is a sphere! So it’s the world, the globe! It just doesn’t see things, it visualises them, it has a vision!
The “I” ‘Of’ “SPIRIT”, the “I” ‘Of’ “Soul”! (iOS)
The I Of S! The In and Out of S! (iOS)
The “I” “C”! Yes, I See! (iC*) The Independent Cloud! The “Icon” of the “Century”!
“I” for IMAGINATION, “I” for INNOVATION, “I” for INSPIRATION!
When expressed with respect to the SOUL, the “I” is just the AVATAR, the INCARNATION!
The “I” is so sweetly and positively Infectious!
Mathematically, ‘I’ to the power of Infinity!

For a long long time since childhood, I have felt like exploding(actually the exploding feeling started specially as I grew up as an adult, say matured adult, earlier it was kind of real dreams) so as if I don’t pen, or transform into pressed words and materialize into for the infinite thoughts, ideas, poems, poetries, compositions, songs, fictions, scripts, creativities, innovation, on and on!
I have always wished some thought mapping device or technology or some kind of that was there or comes! But immediately I withdraw that wish as that would not be a good scientific invention or so, as it would have more bad effects, crisis for the human extinction as its abuse chances are more by some negative people!
Earlier since childhood, I dreamt of huge touch screens so I need not have a stationary or bulky devices. I just can hold at any point and continue doing the things I like with those projections. If that has not fully come true yet, iPad is not a bad beginning!
Well, some wishes b8r not be Horses!

Science, Technology, Innovation, Creativity all for Humanity!
