The tasks which were done manually can now be done through the use of virtual assistant technology. Popular virtual assistants currently include Amazon Alexa, Apple's Siri, Google Assistant, and Microsoft's Cortana . Users can ask their assistant's questions, control home automation devices, and media playback via voice, and manage other basic tasks such as email, to-do lists, and calendars with verbal commands.

  Eco-friendly Technology We are degrading the environment by the day. Yes, you read that right! Aware individuals are now taking baby steps to do their bit to restore the environment, and if not restore, making sure they don’t contribute to depleting it further. 1. Passive Solar Water Wall Air conditioners not only suck up electricity but also contribute to around 1.5 tonnes of carbon each year. Two students from IIT Kharagpur, Sahashranshu Maurya, and Somrup Chakraborty came up with an alternative that could act as a potential replacement for energy-guzzling air conditioners. Their innovation is that of Passive Solar Water Wall, where the cooling system revolves around a rectangular water tank fitted into a wall — it’s very high surface area allows maximum interaction between the air and the tank walls, thus helping it cool rapidly. The heat absorbed is continuously removed from the system by daily household use of water. These walls enable no CFC and carbon emission, minimal ele...

  SOLAR POWER               Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination. Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and solar tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaics were initially solely used as a source of electricity for small and medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to remote homes powered by an off-grid rooftop PV system. Commercial concentrated solar power plants were first developed in the 1980s. As the cost of solar electricity has fallen, the number of grid-connected solar PV systems has grown into the millions and utility-scale photovoltaic power stations with hundreds of megawatts are being b...
