10 Interesting Facts About The Internet You Really Need To Know!

     Most of us can not imagine life without access to the internet for reasons ranging from social networking to doing projects and collecting information. But, not all of us know about these interesting facts about the internet and its usage. So, let’s have a quick look at it:

1.  Approximately 3.2 billion people use the internet. Out of this, 1.7 billion of internet users are Asians. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 200 billion emails and 3 billion Google search would have to wait if the internet goes down for a day.

2.  China has treatment camps for internet addicts. 200 million Internet users in China are between the ages of 15 and 35. Hence, it is most like that they lose self-control. Tao Ran, director of the country’s first Internet addiction treatment clinic under a military hospital in Beijing said that 40% of those addicted to the Internet suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

3.  30,000 websites are hacked every day. Highly effective computer software programs are used by cybercriminals to automatically detect vulnerable websites which can be hacked easily.

4.  First webcam was created at the University Of Cambridge to monitor the Trojan coffee pot. A live 128×128 grayscale picture of the state of the coffee pot was provided as the video feed.

5. ” Gangnam Style ” by PSY is still the most viewed videos of all time with more than 2,450,000,000 views.

6. Internet sends approximately 204 million emails per minute and 70% of all the mails sent are spam. 2 billion electrons are required to produce a single email.

7. The internet requires 50 Million horsepower to keep running in the current state. In 2005, broadband internet had a maximum speed of 2 Megabits per second. Today, 100Mbps download speeds are available in many parts of the country. But experts warn that science has reached its limit and fiber optics can take no more data.

8.  First tweet was done on 21st March, 2006 by Jack Dorsey and the first YouTube video to be uploaded was “Meet At Zoo” at 8:27 p.m. on Saturday, April 23, 2005 by Jawed Karim. https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw

9. Approximately 9 Million adults in Britain and one-third of Italians have never used the internet. Imagine that! While there are treatment camps for internet addicts in China, a vast population of people has never used it till date.

10. The majority of internet traffic is not generated by humans, but by bots and malware. According to a recent study conducted by Incapsula, 61.5% or nearly two-thirds of all the website traffic is caused by Internet bots.

The Best Printer Was Created!

     Every day, more and more, technology is improving and allowing us to do a lot of the things we would have only dreamt of years before. Could you imagine that only 50 years ago, the ability to call someone, listen to music and watch videos all at the same time was considered magical? Today, it is completely abundant and considered normal. The one kind of a thing that is still being vastly explored and improved, are 3-D printer devices. You must have had a chance to hear about these powerful machines, as they are one of the more popular topics in technology today.

It was in development for a long time

     If you haven’t had a chance to learn about what makes the 3d printers work and what exactly their purpose is, this is your chance to find out. Previously dubbed rapid prototyping technology (RP) the 3-D printers we know of today are merely an evolution from the first ever prototype to be created in the 1980s. Although they were focused primarily on industrial applications, and were supposed to be made to replicate certain tools, nowadays they can be purchased for commercial use, and are known to be able to replicate any kind of an object, for as long as there is a scheme provided to the device, so that it could properly replicate the object.

They work in a very specific way

     Comparing them to your ink printers, a 3d printer actually spend a few minutes outlining the object that is about to be created, before starting to produce layers of plastic, exactly on top of each other until the entire object has been created. Although plastic has been the primary resource these printers used, today a printer can use even precious metals in creation. It is able to replicate even the smallest detail with perfect accuracy. Seeing as it relies heavily on modeling programs to help you create a scheme for the object that you would like to print out, not everyone is able to create a model. This is why there are a lot of websites, which offer already created schemes for the object you would like to create.

They can replicate just about anything

     Anything from actual human bones to musical instruments can be successfully replicated. Small objects, actual tools and many other items can all be printed out in a matter of hours with a full functionality. Clearly, this kind of a technology might offer a whole lot of solutions and improvements to all sorts of industries, especially seeing how it will make it much easier for people to acquire just about any object they can think of. The experts in the field have predicted that in the next 50 years, when 3-D printing reaches its full bloom, shopping will be rendered obsolete and people will then purchase schemes online for anything they would like to print at home.

The Amazing of Car Technologies!

     In the technology world, the latest advancement is only as good as the next thing coming down the line. The auto industry is constantly bringing us new technologies, whether it be for safety, entertainment, usefulness or simply for pure innovation.

     Many new car technologies are either specifically built for safety or at least have some sort of safety focus to them. Some of the latest car innovations we've found are some truly exciting technologies that could revolutionize not just the automotive industry but human transportation in general.

     So what's in store for future cars? Well, we don't know for sure, but based on what's currently being tested and what's on the road today, we have an idea of some new technology that will most likely make it into production. Some of it will help keep us safe, some will give us information like never before and some will let us kick back and just enjoy the ride.

     Are you still not clear about this technologies? Click this link and it will amazed you on how sophisticated our next generation's drive . It is really damn cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljt_vZLT_F8

Internet of Things!

     The phrase “Internet of Things” is widely credited to Kevin Ashton; he’s indicated that he coined the term in 1999 while at Proctor & Gamble, but it didn’t take off until 2009 with an article in RFID Journal. At a very basic level, “Internet of Things” means devices that can sense aspects of the real world — like temperature, lighting, the presence or absence of people or objects, etc. — and report that real-world data, or act on it. Instead of most data on the Internet being produced and consumed by people (text, audio, video), more and more information would be produced and consumed by machines, communicating between themselves to (hopefully) improve the quality of our lives.

A bathroom cabinet that lets you know when it’s running low on toilet paper could be worth its weight in gold.

     Smart devices use Internet technologies like Wi-Fi to communicate with each other, your laptop, and sometimes directly with the cloud. Some also talk to a central hub that serves as control point for many different devices, like the Revolv. Ideally, owners can use that central access point from their smartphones and tablets, either at home or when they’re out and about.

     This video will explained more about this amazing technology. Wacth it until the end and you will amazed with this things!

Examinations — good or bad ?

"Examinations" - This is a word that causes sleepless nights, a word can change a cheerful person into a nervous wreck. So, what are examinations, and how can they be any good? An examination can be defined as a detailed inspection or analysis of an object or person. For example, an engineer will examine a structure, like a bridge, to see if it is safe. A doctor may conduct a medical examination to gauge whether a patient is healthy. In the school context, it is the students who take the examinations. These are usually a series of comprehensive tests held at the end of each term, year or, in the case of public examinations, after a few years.

One of the main purposes of school examinations is to improve the quality of education. From the results of the examinations, the teachers and planners of the curriculum will be able to gauge the extent to which the students have acquired the knowledge and skills of the course material. This would, first of all, provide an evaluation of their teaching methods, so they can improve them, if necessary.

Examinations are also used as a yardstick for measuring the capability of the candidate, for further education or employment. For example, examination results are the main criteria when selecting students for entrance into universities. It is assumed that the examination results would indicate whether or not the student will be able to handle the course. In the case of employment, it is felt that the examination results will indicate whether or not the job seeker has the skills or intelligence to handle the job.

However, does the school examination system provide an accurate yardstick of the candidate's ability? Albert Einstein, at the age of 16, took the entrance exam to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, but failed and so was rejected by this elite school. Yet, Einstein went on to develop the theory of relativity and quantum theory, winning the Nobel Prize in Physics at the age of 42. Other examples of famous achievers who failed in school examinations would include Winston Churchill, Thomas Edison and Bill Gates.

One may also question whether the present examination system results in better teaching in schools. In fact, some teachers are so pressured to produce good examination results that they are forced to practise poor teaching methods. They may race through the syllabus, ignoring the fact that the weaker students have not grasped some of the concepts. Some other teachers may concentrate on popular examination topics, ignoring the topics which are rarely tested in the examinations.

Pressure to succeed in examinations may also be detrimental to the students. They may be so filled with anxiety and stress that they do not enjoy their school years. They may be studying only to get good examination results, rather than a rounded education. Some of the weaker students, who cannot seem to achieve good examination results, may lose interest in their studies. In extreme cases, students may be so frustrated or disappointed in their results that they may consider ending their lives.

In conclusion, I realise that examinations are necessary and useful in many areas of our lives. However, within the school system, they should be given less emphasis or conducted in a different way. Furthermore, educationists, employers and students themselves should be reminded that examination results may not provide the best assessment of an individual's talents and capabilities.
