Contribution of Youth towards Unified and Integrated India

    

Well , it is rightly said ,    

“If our youth arise and act they have the strength and dynamism to generate a   huge transformation in the society".

21st Century youth is armed with the power of latest technology , knowledge and love of the nation . The youth have begin to realize our ethical obligations to be good stewards of the country and responsible trustees of the legacy to future generations.Though development is the best contraceptive but development itself may not be possible without the efforts of present youngsters. Present and future of the nation is highly dependent on optimization Indian youth power .

With 356 million 10-24 year-olds, India has the world's largest youth population .

Youth of our country play a critical role in every major sector of global economy from manufacturing processes to Information Technology and Services.India today in 2015 has emerged out as one of the fastest growing economies in the world . Huge amount of investment is brought every year from foreign countries including super power nations such as Germany , Russia , USA and China . MNCs have realized that India is the best place in the world to expand their markets and triple their profits .Hats off to the hard work of Indian youth population .

The two major components required to build a strong nation are Unity and Economy and most importantly the realization of the fact that both are not independent quantities . Indian Youth is the bridge between the two which is holding them together since the independence of India in 1947 . Our first Prime Minister , Jawaharlal Nehru was the first one to realize the potential of youth , He loved children as he saw in them the future of modern India . Our great leaders Swami Vivekananda ,Mahatma Gandhi , Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and current prime minister Narendra Modi have acknowledged that stability of a unified and integrated India would have been impossible without the efforts and hard work of youth power .

Ever since the freedom youth have been actively involved in various social and activist movement in the country which have brought many positive impacts in the lives of common citizens . For instance The anti corruption movement led by Anna Hazare caused a major political reform in the country , Strikes after the Delhi gang rape case enforced strict policies and laws for women security and empowerment, The Movement for right to Information act proved to be a game changer in reducing corruption levels , etc . The success could not have been achieved without the cooperation of young India . This indeed shows that the voice of youth holds the potential to bring drastic changes in the society and the ideologies of people .

Now since it is clear from the above picture that a unified nation is built by the young generation of nation , we must consider the unfortunate increase in criminal activities involving young people in India in the recent years . This is a red alert which we can't afford to ignore and must be controlled before we lose control over the situation . If you look back in the modern history , you'll find that all terrorist association have targeted and tried to take control over the minds of young people for their destructive evil missions . A growing economy as India must give a deep thought about such concerns and take strict measures to keep clear from such risks. Moreover Laws are never respected nor enforced in India for instance the constitution says that casteism untouchability and bonded labour shall be abolished but they flourish shamelessly even after 44 years of operation of constitution . As a consequence we lose fairly large population of potentially available youth.

Swami Vivekananda taught the youth to have self confidence , dedication and teamwork . His teachings did and always will motivate and encourage the youth of India and I have strong hope that one day India will emerge out as a developed country and align itself in the queue of World superpowers .

Let's together hold the possibility ,

Let's together identify responsibilities,

When united is our youth,

Every hurdle, every obstacle , every path becomes smooth.

21st Century and The Fate of Humanity

21^st century is the golden age for all scientific and economic developments .

Particularly the next 30 years would be very important as they have the potential to decide the Fate of Humanity .So presently we are living in the most interesting age of human history , Cheers! .

Let us explore what I mean by it .

The world population is around 7 billion and is expected to grow further in next few years .

This would increase the demand of number of personal and commercial computers and so does the amount of data that is added to the virtual data junk every year. In today's world no matter where you are , you are always surrounded by this cluster of invisible information web .

So what is the purpose and advantage of this big data web ?

Obviously to exchange information from remote computers. But this is not it , in today's economy extracting useful information out of these binary data chunks is a big challenge for humans as well as computers as there is a limit to how much computation we can perform using our modern silicon based computers .Companies use this information to improve their products and services.

Solving optimization problems is another big challenge faced by data scientists today .

To those who are unaware about it let me explain it with an example , lets say you have to travel throughout the world in all the cities and all the countries . What is the shortest route you would take so that you cover the entire journey in minimum time and your expenditure is minimum ? You have to consider hundreds of parameters like fuel cost , environmental impact , duration of stay , and many many more . This is an example of optimization problem in is a big challenge faced by computer scientists today.

Further the problem is divided into two components , first we don't have the hardware to perform these complex computations , second we don't have the perfect algorithm to solve it . In conclusion

it is the most difficult challenge accepted by us in the 21^st century .It is in fact one of the greatest challenge of computational mathematics.

Analysis and making sense out of this big data collection have an interesting application other than

profit making . If an entity can process millions of Tera bytes of data and if could actually compute it the way we want to ,our computers can predict the future . For example , weather forecast ,

computers collect satellite data of both past and present and simulate the the expected results , which are at most times correct . Think about rank analyzers , they make use of data from previous year statistics to predict the rank based on your score this year. You'll find numerous such instances ; actually we're doing it since long back . Big data analysis is just the the same thing but on a much larger scale.

And also if we could do that , we might be able to solve more complex problem like that of Big Bang theory and other deepest mysteries of universe and our existence .

Any major development in building and developing this combination of hardware and software

or any failure here would decide the fate of humanity.The solution to this problem would forever change the way we live , the way we process information, Everything is just a few decades away.

This century will decide whether we'll rule the computers or they'll rule over us!

Million Dollar Idea :Its High Time

While most people daydream every day about striking it rich, only some have been lucky enough to come up with a million dollar idea.

I'm not going to propose any million dollar here but its high time and the next is much awaited indeed . What's next after social networks? What's next after Reliance industries ? What's next after Google ? Is it the end ?

According to a research in the next 20 years or so more than 10 million people in UK itself might lose their jobs due to increased auto motion and development of high performance robots and computer systems . Yes , One day billions of people will become victims of auto motion.

Who would shelter those millions of people in the world under their employment?

This is the high time when young entrepreneurs should come forward with Revolutionary Million Dollar Big Ideas that can employ our next generation. How would it be if your children complete their masters or PhDs and still roaming jobless because machines are smarter than them ? It is “The High Time”.Our future economy needs an idea that can tackle the effects of increased auto motion and at the same time make the best use of technology .

Young entrepreneurs have to work smarter than our previous generations as they won't compete with humans anymore , but with super computers, robots,humanoids.

They would have the challenge to build economies that could shelter those million people . There are no hopes that Moore's Law and advancement in technology would ever come to hault in the next 100 years or so.

The challenges are many and so are the hopes .

A Million Dollar Idea could make the things go differently.

Its perfectly OK to live a life that others don't understand

It’s perfectly OK to choose a career that isn’t “normal''.

It’s perfectly OK to stay up all night, working on something that you care about, even if it isn’t even making you money right now.

It’s perfectly OK to be the freak, the misfit, the outcast.

But what's not OK is to give up your Dreams.

“We are the creators of tomorrow”

Best of Luck!

Can Computers control real world objects ?

This idea may fascinate many of you . But think about it , what if you could call your pen at your study table just by a click on your personal computer ? Sounds like Science fiction right ?

May be a new generation of computers could do that . Totally different from our classical computers.One day we might be successful in building this new generation of smart and powerful machines that can manipulate not just the motion of one single electron or a small molecule but a group of molecules that form real world objects .

I don't know how far away we are from this generation of computers or how close is it to the possibility of actually building one but its just an idea that evolved a couple of weeks ago.

Researchers in the US have said they want to build a new type of computer that will be able to “control and manipulate” physical matter.

A group of scientists from Stanford University has taken the first step towards this by creating a computer that operates using water. To be precise, the computer that scientist Manu Prakash has created sees water droplets being manipulated with fluid dynamics.

Although these experiments are still very far away from the idea that how one day we might be able to manipulate a 3 dimensional object lying independently at some location instead of lying on a computer chip . The basic challenge would remain the mechanical force required to change the position of object , also there is limit to how much atomic manipulation we can perform.

The fact remains that no object can exert a force on itself so how do we do that ?

Lets say you are sitting on one end of a table and a metal ball is lying on the other end ,

if you could perform enough vibrations on the table , ball will change its position.

So in order to shift the ball towards you what we need is the vibration of table molecules in the perfect orientation so as to move the ball exactly the way we want !

And if the table itself is a large computer chip , then congratulations your problem is reduced to how much vibrations can you produce .

I don't know how much time would it take to build and commercialize this generation of future computers , but what I'm sure of is that possibilities are enough . Our future on Earth is bright after all we are the most creative and intelligent species in the Universe.

Time Machine - Looking Into the Future

                                               The Concept of First Practical Time Machine
                                                                                   -By Ashish Pahwa

A couple of years ago , the idea of mind uploading , i.e uploading the entire human brain into a Super Computer evolved which gained the attention of many computer scientists and futurists across the globe.
In the coming future this might become a reality , then we'll also see the end of Modern Silicon Era.

But would we ever be able to build quantum computers that can predict the future and challenge the mind of God? Well this idea is still in the initial stages of its development but here's the glimpse of how this could be done.First you have to understand that each one of us have a different picture of reality in our brains . Just like every person have different fingerprints , every person have different brain-reality interface.

The very first step is to build a Super Quantum Computer . Big IT firms are already working in this field  and  we already  have our very first D-wave quantum computer by D-Wave Systems, Inc.
The second step , As I mentioned upload the entire human brain of a living person 'A' into that computer , his emotions , memories , behaviour,opinions etc.
Now in one way the computer thinks and sees the world the way A does.
We would  repeat the same process with another person B and upload his brain into the same computer .
Now A of the real world have its own picture of reality, The only person in the universe that could predict his next words  is A himself and this applies to B and  in fact to any living brain.
But our quantum computer will process both the brains simultaneously using its super quantum parallel processors. So we've created an entity that could read both the brains at the same time!
Also that means that this computer can simulate how the two brains interact with each other in the virtual as well as in the real world .
Again we'll repeat the process with C and D to form a family of four . Ultimately we've got four virtual brains and four real ones existing independently in the real world but are a part of the same process in our quantum computer!
The next and the most important step is the simulation ; simulation of how non-living objects interact with different mechanical forces . Well you'll be surprised to know that this technology already exists and we can actually simulate how real world objects respond to different forces in our silicon based computers .

Combining these two technologies we can build a virtual world , exactly similar to ours ,  One you and one me can in one way exist simultaneously inside a computer and in the real world .

So how would this help us to build a Time machine ?
Consider this simple experiment -
A,B,C and D are four people(as mentioned above) who are strangers to each other .
I have  invited them to my house and all of them have accepted the invitation.
Every corner of my house is already programmed into our time machine and so does the brains of A,B,C and D .
Before they actually arrive we'll run our time machine and simulate their interaction with each other    in the virtual world. So what we've now on our computer screens is the Future of A,B,C and D before  they actually arrive .
Now I'll wait for them to actually arrive and keep a watch on them from a hidden camera .
If algorithm works out perfectly ,what I would see would be exactly how the computer simulated it few minutes ago before they actually arrived !



This might be our first step towards building the  first practical Time Machine.
 Though it has some major drawbacks. In the above experiment we've excluded the interference of any other factor like cell phones ,power cut offs. Storms etc that might have  influenced the decisions of  any person . This was a simple experiment conducted in the most isolated environments.But this is just the beginning !In the near future we might be able to simulate the future of a society,a state,a country,the earth, and may be the Universe!

Technological Singularity : Survival of the Smartest

In the mid 19^th century Charles Darwin proposed Survival of the Fittest in the evolution theory . Here I'm going to propose the theory of Survival for the most Intelligent or Smartest . In the near future only the most intelligent people would survive rest would be rejected not by the nature but by the Human race itself.

Human species , we believe is the most intelligent species in the history of Universe as no true evidence of any such life form has been found yet.We have evolved ourselves to the extent that one day we might be able to build machines smarter than ourselves , I am referring to our slow steps towards Technological Singularity .

If you notice machines have already started taking over us . Reason why thousands of employees are fired at young age every year by huge IT firms and other Multi National Corporations is that Computers and smart machines have taken the command over their work and are much more efficient than humans. From big companies to small offices automation is rapidly increasing . Drivers will lose jobs because cars one day would be self driven by computers , gradually Human interference would nullify in most of the service sectors. People with basic skills and knowledge would no longer be required by these huge IT firms . At a more upper level if humanoids become self learners , we won't require programmers to update new skills into the machine. So being good in  programming would not fetch you a high paid job either . According to a report over 10 Million jobs could be taken by computers and robots in UK. You could estimate the same for the world!

If that continues to be the scenario , and you wish to seek a job and survive you have to be smarter than the most advanced computer available at that time or should acquire skills that no machine could ever gain or learn even through the most advanced machine learning algorithms. In conclusion if you have to survive till the end of Technological Singularity in the post human era , you must be smarter than the smartest.
