WILL THEY EVER MATCH UP ?

  We often talk about how Artificial Intelligence, Augmented reality to change the world and make things easier. This is of course a true. Technology can make our lives much easier. It helps us leverage robots for our works and makes us lazy and we could enjoy sitting on a couch and watching tv shows. All this said and done what makes me sad about the technology? Is it the fact that technology which is a man-made thing could destroy us in the future?. There is a possibility with the advent of new technologies like open AI. But it takes years to build a system that could kill us. Then what is my concern about? I recently read an article on how a family in Myanmar spent their lockdown by eating snakes that they found in the forest. What does this Indicate? This Indicates the wide economic disparity in the world. While we talk about the new technologies there are some people trying to make a few meals a day. It is a matter of fact that the rich are becoming richer and the poor are bec...

NEVER BE A FAN OF SOMETHING OTHER THAN YOURSELF

  Dhoni's daughter gets rape threats  Vijay sethupati's daughter gets rape threats after the controversy around the film 800 What is common between the above lines? You might think it is the rape threats NO It's the fanatic mindset of Indians. What do I mean by this? In India, we have a vivid fan culture which probably doesn't exist in any other country What is my problem with this? Ain't I a fan of none? Here comes the tricky part. I admire someone but I am not a fan of someone............. What difference does this make? For example, I admire a lot of people from different fields. In this article, I will tell you the basic difference between admiring someone and being a fan. Let me tell you a small example, let us consider the example of Dhoni in this IPL.I love Dhoni for his mindset and his humble nature and the way he finishes a match. The things have gone the other way round this IPL. He is completely out of form. When you are a fan you never accept the reality...

THE FATE OF AN IDEA - THE DELTA FOUR THEORY

Bill gates had an Idea called Microsoft Mark Zuckerberg had an idea called Facebook  Elon musk had an idea called Tesla These are not just companies these are ideas turned into reality. What does it take for an idea to become successful? Do all the ideas succeed? The answer is a big NO. 95% of startups are said to be failed. A thought that strikes my mind always is how do we form a successful idea? Let's talk about an idea in the terms of startups. why do the ideas by many intellectually advanced founders not succeed? Do they lack talent? Do they lack execution? Well that might be the case ....but the major reason why startups fail according to Kunal shah A well known entrepreneurial face and the founder of free charge and CRED is that  "Founders do not provide an efficient solution to the existing problem" Does it mean they are identifying a wrong problem? No. He also says "Everything in the world is a problem because there is always an efficient way to solve it...

Image
In the past few days, we have seen the ads of white hat jr on television and youtube. We see businessmen fighting among themselves to invest in an app made by a kid(according to the ad). The ad might seem funny to some and ridiculous to the rest of the people...but there is a serious question that comes out of this. Do children really need coding right from class 6? Is coding really necessary for a kid to survive the competition? Well...In this blog, I would express my views on the topic. Moreover, the recent National Educational Policy also mentions that coding would be a subject in the curriculum from class 6 Here is my take "Indian parents are very ambitious.....in this sense I can go a step further and use the word they are "Status driven".They give more importance to the status of their families and their children. Here comes the major problem with the dangerous trend of compulsory coding. When parents get influenced by seeing the ads and force their child to join t...
