  TOP 5 CODING LANGUAGE A person new to the field of programming, is always faced with a choice or more of a dilemma regarding ‘from where to start?’. In the universe of computers, coding languages are quite extensive with around 600 coding languages currently in existence, and many more coming up with every single passing day. The most popular ones are the engines that drive almost every consumer application, the most basic of the consumer electronics that we see around us, and as well as the most humongous of the industrial machinery. While starting as a newbie program developer, one has to identify which coding language to explore from amongst the immense sea of programming platforms according to one’s own needs, uses, and career goals that one has in mind. Every programming language has its own feature set and a plethora of various complexities that one needs to understand in order to use it as a tool working on its complete potential. Here are 5 of the most popular of such cod...

  ELECTRIC CARS                 This article is about battery-electric cars. For the more general category of electric drive for all types of vehicles, see electric vehicles. For the more general category of vehicles with plug-in rechargeable capabilities, see plug-in. For vehicles with electric motors and internal combustion engines, see a hybrid electric vehicle. For fuel cell cars, see fuel cell vehicles.                An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors, using energy stored in rechargeable batteries. The first practical electric cars were produced in the 1880s. Compared with internal combustion engine cars, electric cars are quieter, have no tailpipe emissions, and lower emissions in general. Charging an electric car can be done at a variety of charging stations, these charging statio...

  Booming Technologies Technology is the lifeblood of our existence. Without it, we cannot comprehend our daily activities which are intertwined with the world around us. Connectivity is the purpose; technology is the fuel that fulfills that purpose. The evolution of technology has given us variation in inventions. From innovation in agriculture to gunpowder, from locomotives to AI, technology has truly evolved. However, technology today is a step ahead of connectivity and is moving ahead to enable automation and artificial intelligence. . Why do things that can be done by others? Given below are some of the technologies under development and are likely to have a huge impact on the world (not in the order of rankings). Artificial Intelligence (AI) AI refers to enabling machines to think and mimic like humans. They are programmed to simulate human intelligence and exhibit traits such as problem-solving. In 1995, AI came into being as an academic discipline. AI was based on the assum...

  THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT) In this fast-growing world with constant technological advancement, the trending topics of interest are mainly the internet of things, machine learning, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, etc. These terms are related to data analysis. These terms coined not more than a decade ago, have become so common as if they hold with them our future world. This attention is well deserved, as they are really interested in probing concepts. They seem to connect the world of imagination to reality. All of them have a great scope of research. So let’s discuss one of these technological advancements; IoT which is believed to be the leading technology behind many future innovations. According to IoT analytics estimates, there were roughly 9.5 billion connected IoT devices at the end of 2019. Internet of things (IoT) simply means a system of interrelated devices that are capable of transferring data over a network without requiring human-to-hu...

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CAN MACHINES THINK?  -ALAN TURING, 1950 It was with this simple question that Turing changed the course of technology. Turing’s paper on ‘ ’Computing Machinery and Intelligence’’ (1950) was what set the base for Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines. In layman’s language it is that branch of computer science that aims to answer the question: Can machines think? It is an endeavor to replicate human intelligence in machines. It emphasizes traits of the human mind like problem-solving, learning and improving, decision making and so. Thus, the goals of AI include learning, reasoning, and perception. So it can be phrased as the ability in machines to rationalize and accordingly take a particular action that has the best chance at achieving a specific goal. HOW DOES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WORK AI is based on the principle that human intelligence can be broken down into specific ways of working...

Earlier in 1978, computers were mainly used to perform complicated calculations but as soon as they were applied to indexing and sorting written information, the term “ Information Technology ” was invented. It is a term that encompasses all forms of technology used to create, store, exchange and utilize information in its various forms including business data, conversations, still images, motion pictures, and multimedia presentations. It is basically includes the designing of the hardware for processing information and connecting separate components, and developing software that can efficiently and faultlessly analyze and distribute this data. IT is mainly known within the context of business operations as opposed to entertainment or personal technologies.  Several products or services within an economy come under it including computer hardware, software, internet, electronics etc.  Currently, the world has been affected by a pandemic ie: COVID-19 that has caused drastic ...
