FROM SCI-FI to WI-FI?


It is often said that reality mirrors art. In today's world of robotics and artificial intelligence, it is perhaps more accurate to talk about fact mirroring (science) fiction. The link between science fiction and reality has long been pooh-poohed by skeptics and scientists alike, but no-one on either side of the argument can question the fact that the world of sci-fi has increasingly become the world of wi-fi, in daily life from the world's poorest to the most developed countries.

But where did all this begin? For Generation X who believe, as indeed do most youth generations, that they invented everything, it may come as something of a surprise to learn that robotics has probably been around since the dawn of civilization.

Ancient cultures told stories in their myths and legends about 'artificial people,' and early Greeks and Muslim scholars devised prototypes of objects with what are now considered robotic characteristics and defining features. Leonardo da Vinci, thought of as the archetypical Renaissance Man, apparently made drawings of a mechanical knight which—or should that be who?—could sit up, wave its arms and move its head and jaw in what have come to be defined, with the benefit of retrospective hindsight, as the beginnings of a humanoid robot. And all of this some five hundred years before we had movies like Blade Runner or I, Robot to appeal to our futuristic senses. The seeds of the future are always planted in the past, it seems.

This link between fact and science fiction has given rise to many interesting discussions. Erudite and philosophical debates rage as to whether the popular TV sci-fi series Star Trek — now some 40 years old — was actually responsible for ushering in many of today's handheld devices. Proponents, and indeed major actors involved with the original series like William Shatner (a.k.a Captain James T. Kirk), contend that the writers were nothing short of visionaries — modern day equivalents of men like Da Vinci, who in the 15th century in some inexplicable way managed to see into the future and predict what was to come. Advocates of this idea point to devices such as the 'phaser,' and its much-loved accompanying TV-line, 'Set phasers to stun.' This program prop was like a gun that could immobilize or, on occasion, even kill an enemy or being by shooting rays at them. Fast forward to 2009; witness recent outrage and controversy over law enforcement 'aids' such as the taser, a hand-held gadget which can immobilize. Unfortunately this weapon has recently come in for some very bad press; a few well-publicized cases in North America and Canada bear witness to their potential as a deadly, lethal weapon. It is interesting to note, however, how the names of these two devices rhyme, lending yet more credibility to the idea that the one may have indeed spawned the other.

Sci-fi to wi-fi. Our world is more and more like a science-fiction TV show!

ps: I have found this artical really interesting that made me wanna blog it....hope u like it

Making a good Presentation

First tell them what are you going to tell them, next tell them, Finaly tell them what u have just told them.
Making a representation is that easy, right ?

When Genius Slept

Brilliance, it seems, is the product of a well-rested mind, not artistic all-nighters. Here, the bedtimes kept by history’s brightest

How Does Time Work ?

     Our life is slipping away with eatch tick of the clock, tick by tick, second by second, time has moved on in seeemingly constant manner from the beginning of the universe to the present day, It's one of the few things we regard as regular and unchanging,
      Civilisations have risen and fallen, stars have been born and extinguished, and our one method of keeping track of every event in the universe and on earth has been comparing them to the present day with the regular passing of time.
         For Newton time is like an arrow fired from a bow, travelling in a direct straight line and never deviating from its path, To newton, one second on Earth was the same length of time as that same second on Mars, or Jupiter, or in deep space, and by applying this theory he was ablt to asume that  TIME MUST TICK FROM.

Making Decision

     Life is a long, long sequence of decisions, we make decision probably at a frequency that is close to the frequency we breath. Every munite, every second, you're deciding where to move your legs,  where to move your eyes or where to move your limbs, and yet we are making all this decision without even realizing.
  we like to think that as a species, we are pretty smart, we like to think we are wise, rational creatures. By we may have to think again, In every decision you make, there is a battle in your mind between intuition and logic, it's a conflict that plays out in every aspect of your life, what you eat, what you belive and with whom you are falling in love with, and most powerfully, in decision you make about money
    and here when we have to point out about the two Systems of our mind, Two ways of thinking:fast and slow, the fast one called also System 1, it is powerful, effortless and responsible for most of what we do. The other mode is slow or System 2,  deliberate, logic and rational and it's the bit you think of as you, the voice in your head
     If we want to avoid mistakes, we have to reshape the environment we've built around us rather than hope to change ourselves, we are limited, we are not perfect, we're rational in all kinds of ways, but we can build a world that is compatible with this and get us to make better decisions rather than worse decisions. And by accepting our inner stranger, we may come to a better understanding of our own minds.
