what is Apple Vision Pro?

It is basically a face computer that bridges virtual reality, where you can see virtual objects in the real world, Apple is calling it "Spatial Computing", Apple spent 45 mins detailing how it works and what are its features and potential, the front of the device has a screen, there's a cord from the headset  attaches to its battery pack, Apple says the battery pack can last up to 2 hours,  

There are no controllers like other VR headsets, you can use your hands to navigate around besides there are multiple cameras on it which help you to see the real world with objects in it.    

Apple has been working on Vision Pro for many years and soon be able to try it for yourself when it gets released in early 2024. The Vision  Pro priced at $3500 for this first-generation unit has a curved glass front that is laminated and Polished to an optical finish, it's also a display that can let users know what you're doing inside of the headset whether you can see them or not at any point in time.

Design

The body of the headset is made out of custom aluminum alloy for a lightweight feel but still that premium industrial design. You can use it the entire day when you have it plugged, or you can run it for up to two hours with the included battery pack that connects via this braided cable, the battery pack itself is also aluminum with a silver Apple logo pressed into and a USB C port for charging.

Vision Pro can easily be controlled with your eyes as you move around the interface by looking at it and selecting different things and you can choose them by just tapping your fingers together. You can also control things just by using your voice just asking Siri to do things whether you're typing a search field or opening applications. 

Vision Pro is covered with a Camera, it has 3D cameras, Downward, IR illuminators, and a side camera, so the 3D camera continues to enable you to view the 3D just like we see our surroundings, now because it got the depth, sensors you can place the apps within.   

Physical controls Apple is barring aux element that it's used before and that's the digital Crown. We saw a digital crowd on the Apple watch and on the air pods Max and now it's made its way to the Vision Pro it's located on the top right-hand side you can go ahead and click on it to go back to the home screen and choose another app to open Vision Pro has integrated speakers on either side that are able to provide spatial audio. 

Vision Pro is very customizable as well Apple has different sizes of light Shields that will fit up against your face and there are different versions of the headband that can connect to the back. The headband is made from a single woven piece and looks very nice. it connects magnetically on either side of the headset you can just remove it if you need to and there's likely going to be a third of party straps that you can use as well if you don't prefer Apple's approach. 

Further fine-tune the fit there's an adjustment knob on the back right-hand side that you're able to twist to really dial in the exact amount of tension and pressure that you want on the back of the head.

 Apps

So, what kind of apps will be available on Vision Pro?  

Apple has its own array of apps it is optimized for this mixed reality experience things like the iWork Suite FaceTime or messages. Third-party apps will also be able to create their own applications for the Vision Pro notably Disney will have a version of Disney Plus available for Vision Pro that will have this really cool interface where you can interact with things like sports and the Mandalorian and all of your other favorite shows but third-party developers outside the big ones announced today are already going to be working on their own applications to bring them to Vision Pro but if we're not waiting on them Apple will allow iOS applications to run natively on Vision Pro just from the App Store this will bring a wealth application that you can simply View and interact with right on Vision Pro.

Mac Desktop Extension

Other features of Vision Pro include the ability to extend your max desktop simply look at your Mac and displays will appear above you. You can interact with your Mac in this mixed reality space rather than on your laptop's display outward facing cameras3D Photos and videos that can be used to capture 3D photos and videos that you can later watch back inside of Vision Pro that you simply cannot view on a 2d display.

 FaceTime is going to be a very immersive experience you'll be able to see large full-size people when you were talking to them over FaceTime you can use share play to give a presentation at the same time and your own face will be recognized as a 3D avatar that's created by scanning your face with the front-facing cameras of the reality pro the first-time setup.

                                       

So, are you going to buy Vision Pro When it launches in the market in early 2024, again priced at 3500, or waiting for the 2^nd generation? and 

most importantly will this device replace smartphones? 

What is Blockchain ?

                       "Blockchain is beyond any Bitcoin or Cryptocurrencies"

You may listen to the term blockchain technology in cryptocurrencies more and you may wonder what blockchain technology is and how it works? blockchain technology is an open distributed Ledger that records transactions and tracks assets in code transactions are recorded in blocks and then are linked together on a chain of previous transactions or blockchain is a list of Records or blocks that stores data publicly and in chronological order now the data of then these blocks or records are secure using cryptography, they don't have a central authority controlling them anyone has access to the data within this network but not everyone can alter the data and everyone has copies of this data. One of the most important concepts in blockchain technology is decentralization.

Decentralization means no one computer or organization can own the chain instead it is distributed across all the nodes connected to the chain now you may be wondering what a blockchain node is, a  blockchain node is a computer that maintains copies of the chain and keeps the network functioning blockchain is very promising and revolutionary technology because it helps reduce security risk removes frauds and brings transparency in a scalable way Satoshi Nakamoto whose real identity Still Remains unknown first introduce the concept of blockchain in 2008.  Blockchain involves Innovation and creates a revolutionary impact on society it provides Integrity to data and provides transparency to data. blockchain technology has distributed the Ledger of all transactions in peer-to-peer Networks. Blockchain delivers faster more accurate and better information moreover any business needs accurate information it tracks all the inventory processes in the business blockchain consists of a chain in a sequence one after another moreover they form distributed systems that act as nodes for users the main purpose of blockchain technology is to provide information to the users who access it through proper application key elements

The Integration of Blockchain in Other Sectors

Blockchain technology since then has continued to improve and evolve today blockchain technology is providing transparency for the food supply chain securing Healthcare data innovating the healthcare industry share some of the other applications that blockchain could potentially have in the future. So healthcare industry is great there are a number of companies putting people's health records on the blockchain so this each person could have their own we'll say token that represents their identity it's easily accessible it's easily transmitted across however much distance is necessary between hospitals and it could be pulled up very quickly and it's verifiable and that's the most important thing here is it removes the variable of a third party or a middleman and it removes that that risk exposure that also comes along with it. 

The Business Model of Dmart

                                         D-Mart 

D-Mart functions in the retail industry in India which was started in 2002 and the chain of D mart stores are under Avenue Supermarts LTD. The reason why I chose D mart as the topic is not to praise their services or anything, but the real reason which intrigues me is their business model, which I don't think any other business could easily replicate. The way this business is handled and how it functions is quite impressive and it is progressively getting stronger by each year as it is reflected in their profits itself, from 60cr in 2012 to  1000cr in this current year. 

You probably heard of Radhakrishnan Damani the founder of Dmart, let me give brief info regarding him, from Dalal street investor to India's 4th richest person he is referred to as the warren buffet of India, founder, and chairman of D-Mart. 

Now let's look at the factors which make D mart above and completely distinct from the other top retail companies like future groups and reliance.

The first thing which d mart is known/famous for is, discounts and the prices yes, even if d mart stores are far off, people would dare to travel just to purchase their products from d  mart only, that much influence  D-mart has over their customers. They know that price is one such factor that can help them to capture the market share easily. So their way of pricing is generally 16-17% lower than the MRP.

What makes Dmart different than other Indian Retail Stores? 

D-mart hasn't closed any of its stores till now whereas many of the top retail stores have closed due to losses or lockdowns happening. Dmart majorly focuses on lower-income groups by attracting them with relatively lower prices and discounts, what many people ignore is that in India, almost  52 percent of the population is lower middle class besides they are the underrated group if they are the center of your business and if they are into your services, then there is a higher chance for the growth of the business. Though there are many other big competitors like Reliance, future groups and they do capitalize on the same business, the difference between dmart and other retail groups lies in their business model. Let's point out some of the ways, through which Dmart became a profitable Chain of supermarkets in India.

Systematic Expansion

Dmart at the beginning itself had a plan to systematically expand and they did it by purchasing the land with the help of profitability from the existing store, once the store starts to generate profits, it will be invested in the future stores, Now it might be a slow process at the beginning but it picks up its pace when profits from the existing stores double up by this helps the company from debt or any sort of liability, what remains is pure assets, therefore it cuts all the additional expenses as they own the land.

Everyday Low Price

Now there will be many hypermarkets or supermarkets offering weekend or month-end sales but in Dmart you can find offers and discounts every single day, as for this you could always find long cues, which results in high volume selling due to its offers and discounts. Dmart is able to pass these discounts and offers without cutting its profit margins, yes they are able to pass on the discounts and offers to customers from various sources, and these sources are :

• Cash Discounts

 In the FMGC sector, the suppliers provide the products on the credit for 1 to 4 weeks, Now the retailers have the option to pay within the credit period but if they manage to pay on the day of supply, then they will be getting extra discounts on the products. For this reason, dmart has a good relationship with the vendors also this is one such source of discounts that they pass on to customers.

• Trade discounts/volume discounts

Dmart's inventory turnover rate is records are very high as for this they get leverage with suppliers in terms of discounts. 

• Slotting fees 

Dmart charges a slotting fee from suppliers to keep their products on the shelf,

for instance, if they charge slotting fees of 5000, then Dmart will keep the 3000

and the rest will pass it on a discounts

• Location 

you may not find dmart stores in malls or any posh area, mostly it will be in residential areas mainly middle class or lower-middle-class people stay, nor do they expand capital on the aesthetic, perhaps they know that customers are more inclined toward quality products. 

So, with less marketing, No rent cost, and less operational costs they succeed in giving the customers the best price with discounts and offers every single day, without hurting their profits, unlike its competitors. 

So, this was a small study that highlighted the business model, tho it's not the unique one, it actually has its roots in how Walmarts functions but to execute such a model takes a great amount of effort and hence we see how Mr. Radhakrishan Damni proved us that if you are dedicated and if you truly believe and have passion towards your work then  it will eventually yield its desired  results 

 

                               

      

what is The Goodfellow Startup?

 

                                           Photo by Magda Ehlers from Pexels

"Companionship Company", a start-up for the elderly to accompany them in their time of need.

In today's time you can pay for rent grandkid, yeah, you heard it right. Goodfellows is a startup company that focuses majorly on elderly people. The company recognized that almost half of the aged people are lonely at this stage time of their life, and for this, there could be any reasons, their kids could be busy with their work or they have gone to states for better opportunities, etc, so living without their kids to talk to or to support them in their 70s, become very difficult, this leads, Shantanu Naidu the idea of creating something which solves this issue of loneliness among elderly people.

Shantanu Naidu works as a business assistant to Mr. Ratan Tata, the Goodfellows startup got high praise from Ratan Tata for its idea of Intergenerational Friendship. According to the census from recent years almost 14 million senior citizens live alone in India or they are not properly taken care of, they have to live an isolated life, they lack emotional support, and relationship bonds, and they don't have anybody who could possibly care them at least spend time with, understand their needs and amenities for their own, and it doesn't mean that this issue can be solved simply by assisting them with caretakers, as it could never replace the bonds, this could hinder their mental as well as physical life.

This startup will deploy only young graduates from the age of 20 up to 30 to build the relationship between both so as to rejuvenate the happiness they lost and to eradicate the isolated life. These goodfellows members who are going to take care of the elderly pals will be given proper training, and more than that the whole point is taking care of them wholeheartedly, there is a process for paring with the grandpals, they will be together only if both are a good fit for each other. Goodfellow drives to do the things that grandparents wanted to do with their kids, like for instance going to the park with them, helping them with their tasks and spending time with them, not only for the elderly but for the Goodfellow member also a great experience, in today's time it's difficult to manage without technology, goodfellows can assist you in that also, they can schedule according to the timings preferred by grandpals. Not only that they even take care of doctor’s appointments and other homely tasks, just like how grandkids take care of their grandparents.

There are many other platforms similar to this idea but the factor which distinguishes them is the empathetic understanding, we may never be able to produce some called true companionship, Shantanu Naidu says the startup is not focused to generate profits, besides the only reason why the company runs for profit is just to pay for the graduates for their services besides with a paid employees there will trust due to this they will take this sincerely also, the reason why most of the NGOs failed, due to the uncertainty among the service providers.

The company is in the beta stage, once it is completed then they officially launch in the subscription form, As with safety, the company is fully concerned and they have worked on this aspect by making introductory meetings for trust in one of the major factors despite background checks the company is also focusing on many other steps to make safety very tight.

  

Market leader

           HOW CAN WE DOMINATE THE MARKET 

Photo by Nataliya Vaitkevich from Pexels

If we talk about motor vehicles then Ford Motors used to be the market leader at the beginning then Toyota overtook general motors and then Volkswagen. If you observe, market leaders are continuously are changing. Why is this happening?

In telecom, airtel used to be the leader but with the entry of the jio market got disrupted and by now they are competing among themself. In the computer chip market, Intel is the lead as we have heard about i3, i7, i9 but if we research more then we see that AMD is also giving a tough competition to intel maybe in coming years AMD could dominate the computer chip,

One thing is clear that if you want to become a market leader then you must have to be passionate about your company. if you aren't then your strategies would fail so let's see how can we become a market leader. 

In this, there are  three types for to capture the market, first one is we took the market leader as our competitor and starts to compete with,

The second one is we took our level of competitor and took their share of the market to our advantage slowly to grow our market by beating others 

The last one is we took the small market leaders, competing against them all to become a market leader. 

In India Flipkart and amazon used to be the leader but Walmart has acquired Flipkart to become a leader here Walmart has a lot of purchasing power. Recently, the trade and union of India have disapproved Walmart to acquire Flipkart they claimed that it would lead to market disruption. And this there are two to three types of it first one is we took the market leader as our competitor and started competing with them the second one is we took our level of competitor and took their share of the market to our advantage and slowly to grow the market by beating others and the last one is by taking the small market leaders and acquiring them all to become a market leader

There are  4 major attacking strategies that could get the product into inside the market and can acquire the already existing market, are general attacking strategies 

The first one is frontal attacking strategies

 Meaning attacking from face to face, basically attacking straight forward, here you need to invest more capital, so to market your products, need to have less price than your competitor, even in loss also you need to have more marketing budget than competitors. We need to be ahead in each and every front than our competitors if you want to do a frontal attack then you must have a huge budget. 

Airtel and jio are the best examples. Jio used a frontal attack strategy by providing free data in the market. jio disrupted the market, Mukesh Ambani, incurred a lot of money into the market to beat airtel in the telecom sector therefore airtel was unable to compete with jio and a lot of potential customers shifted toward jio most of the customers have both jio and airtel but now customer got used of free service. jio is not free now, the price is almost the same for all operators but still, jio has positioned in our mind that it provides free telecoms because earlier it was known for its free services and automatically now whenever we need to choose between the telecom services our first thought would be,jio services would be cheaper than other telecoms even though it isn't the case now.

 The next one is a flank attack 

Meaning identifying the market gap of a particular product, which competitors aren't targeting, because it enables us to innovate besides we can introduce unique products in the market. 

The next one is encirclement attack

Hope you heard about sun microsystem if not then you might have used java. It is founded by sun microsystems their competitor was Microsoft. So what they did to beat Microsoft was they sold their license to small firms as a result, java was used by many developers, and when the digital era kicked in, java became the market leader as most of the developers know about it and used java, so here you did not attack at the front, you attacked at the back. Here you did not let your competitor know about your attack you need to let know them when you are fully prepared and the time is over for them now, you need to think about how you would use these strategies to your advantage. 

The next one is bypass attack

 It simply means, fulfill all the requirements to go beyond what is already done by the companies which you think could lead to your product meaning improving or updating so, that consumers don't have to change their products consumers did not have any alternative in buying my product. Let's take an example google and yahoo, so google introduced a perfect search engine algorithm which yahoo doesn't handle take the example of android,

Before Android, Symbian used to be the market leader and at that point, google offered Nokia to operate under android but they refused, today all Nokia phones are on android but Nokia lost its market leadership. 

At that point if Nokia had bought the android then there would have been a different scene if we see, almost all phones are of the same design we look past Nokia phones then all the models are of different designs they used to work on innovation now Nokia does not have any more leadership.

So, what can we learn, 

In Most above cases are that in order to dominate the market, the product or the service which you provide should have something new and unique which distinguish your product from the others in the same market, and once you achieved that then no one can stop you from becoming the market leader, and even if the competitors come with their strategy then also it might take  8 months or longer to come back and in that time you can analyze the market and can improve the product so that there's no chance anyone getting into your market share.

The McDonald's study

                                                    

McDonald's, a fast-food company that marks its presence in more than 100 countries as of 2020 serves millions of people every day you visit America India, or Australia.

You'll get a similar experience in a McDonald's restaurant the craze for its wide variety of fast food can be seen in many parts of the world back in 1955 when ray Kroc became a franchisee agent of the true founders of the company Richard and morrice McDonald.

 No one would have thought that it would at some point in future become the behemoth of burgers but have you wondered what makes McDonald's so large or how has it sustained effectively all these years and continues to thrive?

 certainly, its business model  we are going to outline the strategies that make it so successful  one of the first things that it should focus on is consistency more so if it has different branches or outlets maintaining consistency is the first USB of McDonald's no matter in which country you are if you walk into a McDonald's restaurant you'll get a similar experience.

Ray Kroc had a motto quality service cleanliness and the value he believed in this moto so strongly that he went on to launch a training school in 1961 called the "hamburger university"

The university continues to offer training programs for franchisees. Consistency concept forms a very crucial part of the university's curriculum next is its amazing ability to localize the food items or the menu as per the taste of respective people of any country.

 The biggest example of this situation is India where it amazingly adapted to the vegetarian needs of the people and altered its menu accordingly, it not only serves a good option in the non-veg section but its vegetarian menu of fast foods is equally good and tasty moving on to the next strategy that makes McDonald's so popular is its ability to take risks all these years.

A firm that started with a simple menu in the united states and offered items like hamburger cheeseburger fries shake and beverages kept improving all these years be the addition of breakfast items the happy meal or McNuggets now has a lot to offer to eat.

McDonald's tagline "I'm loving it" is now known to a significant number of people around the world the brand presence it has created is worth the praise in countries like the US, Canada Australia, and many more people have an emotional attachment with this fast-food brand as it reminds most of them of their childhood a well-known fact is that a good brand presence helps your business to add credibility and loyal customers too.

The innovation

The next point about the business is the strategy adopted by McDonald's which is worth mentioning is the innovation yes, while it stays consistent with the core component of its business that's quality service cleanliness and value at the same time it has also incorporated innovation innovating on the response and feedback it gets from its customers is what helps to keep it moving to take an interesting.

 Instance from 1975 where you can figure out how McDonald's has added the factor of innovation, the story goes like this a group of soldiers in the united states wanted to buy some food items from McDonald's but the issue was that they were not allowed to get out of their cars as they were wearing their fatigues when the people at McDonald's learned about it, a solution was found which was a drive-through and this is how the first drive-through of McDonald's was built near a military base present in sierra vista Arizona

A similar example is that of the introduction of the smartphone ordering the system last year also went on to buy stakes in tech firms through which it aims to improve the user's ordering online these were some important strategies of McDonald's business model that has helped to withstand every storm since it got established it continues to display a great lesson for other companies as the magnitude of McDonald's operation is large

What is AirBnb?

                           StartUp at the Year 2008, USA.

The National Bureau of Economic Research announced that on December 1, 2008, the USA had entered a recession in December 2007. but as a matter of fact, the recession was not only hindering the US perhaps nations all around the international have been feeling the consequences of the monetary nightmare. There have been two-point six million people were in unemployment, numerous billion-greenback businesses filed for bankruptcy, and the arena economic system changed into a hit with a $2 trillion bill.

The 2008 monetary disaster changed into so intense that it changed into dubbed the worst monetary meltdown withinside the United States since Great Depression. And it lasted for almost a year and a half. Now, if I requested you, "Would you want to set up a commercial enterprise?" in the course of this dreadful period, could you assert yes? What could be your response? You'd probably declare me insane, here.

Airbnb started at this time of recession besides they have become a billion-greenback enterprise due to the paradigm alternate that the recession delivered approximately. 

So, what is the idea behind Airbnb that makes it so unique? How did they manipulate to be successful withinside the midst of the recession? And, most importantly, what are the commercial enterprise lessons that you could inculcate from this business study.

We often normally feel that on every occasion maybe it's a disaster of any type, whether or not it's far a political disaster, a monetary disaster, or maybe a pandemic, it continually results in a paradigm shift in social behavior. 

When the recession hit America, hundreds of thousands of people misplaced their jobs and have been in dire want of cash. In fact, at that period, the perspective towards their lifestyle changed, now no longer to shop for a pleasant vehicle or assets rather the people were earning for their survival, now it was the matter of existence and death.

 

THE IDEA

In reality, the founders of Airbnb could not pay their rent so that they commenced web websites hosting strangers of their domestic in change for rent. At the equal time, people who have been journeying wanted an inexpensive preference due to the fact, after all, they did not have lots of cash, right? And it changed into then that Airbnb related the host with the guest, growing a commercial enterprise version that allowed the host to earn passive earnings at the same time as supplying a less expensive and higher opportunity to inns for the guest.

This is why the idea of Airbnb changed into a sport changer, and what was observed changed into the beginning of a billion-greenback enterprise that redefined tour for Millenials, which we now recognize because of the short-time period domestic condominium enterprise. And this behavioral paradigm shift is referred to as the collaborative intake movement, wherein society believes in sharing possession of assets instead of retaining them to themselves. And the economic system that emerges from it's far referred to as 'The Sharing Economy.'.

Interesting reality According to a report, the sharing economic system will develop from $14 billion in 2014 to $335 billion with the aid of using 2025, primarily based totally on the valuations of Uber and Airbnb. And it's far due to the emergence of the sharing economic system that, beginning in 2008, some of the startups primarily based totally on the idea of collaborative intake have long gone directly to grow to be million, if now no longer billion-greenback businesses. And because the twenty-first century progresses, society will become greater hospitable to this form of enterprise. This is the primary and critical answer to our question of why Airbnb has been this type of large success.

The query is, wasn't Airbnb one among many startups with this same base idea, but the question is why then Airbnb in particular succeeded. This brings me to the second element of Airbnb, which is designing for belief/relationship. earlier, people have been renting out locations out of necessity,  but the problem here was both guest and host were no longer up to the comfort level due to the fact the rate of belief couldn't be set up among the host and the guest, however, thankfully, Joe and Brian have been layout college students who understood the significance of layout in constructing human relationships. As a result, they took it very severely and commenced experimenting with a consumer enjoy version too.

After a few trials and errors, they located that if the host delivered himself and defined a bit approximately himself that is if the host is elaborating about himself,  then the guest or the visitors will come at greater comfort level than they were before if they handiest knew approximately the assets.

Second, they carried out a joint look with Stanford to decide the elements that make contributions to interpersonal believe. That's after they located that the greater numerous human beings have been, the greater tough it changed into to set up belief.

For example, think you are a 23-yr-vintage Pune resident who meets a number in Delhi who's a local Punekar. You will start to believe that individual ton greater effortlessly than you'll a 40-yr-vintage Gujarati host residing in Delhi. However, they located that whilst you upload social recognition to an individual, no matter how numerous their backgrounds are, the rate of belief will increase significantly. In this case, the social recognition changed into completely decided with the aid of using the reviews. 

And visitors would feel more comfortable and more likely to believe if the host has more than three reviews,  And for the visitor, they created a small questionnaire to assist them to introduce themselves speedily and in a manner, this is neither formal nor informal.

The X element of Airbnb 

The main element of Airbnb which distinguish from their competitor is the relationship among their customers, Paul Graham founder of Y combinator particularly mentioned the importance of customer relationship and even suggested interacting and making a cordial format to Airbnb boys. After at the time when Airbnb was just started as a company, they literally interacted with their customer even though financially they were not stable at that time but still they tried to travel and had kept a friendly relationship with all their customer, they stayed for weeks and had discussions, and at the end, they actually got many insights from them which eventually helped the company as a whole. 

Most importantly, when they finished, they invited the host over for a lager later that night, sat with them, and constructed a  friendly relation with them. They exchanged stories, had good communication, or even informed them approximately the potential flaws of  Airbnb. And bet what, They shaped this type of robust bond with the hosts that they have been in a position to name them later and inform them that they knew their fee changed into too excessive or that they had to write a higher description. Soon after, all of those listings commenced to get hold of lots greater traffic, and those from all around the international who has been journeying New York commenced to book those Airbnbs, permitting the hosts to earn lots greater cash.

In reality, traffic to New York speedy have become hosts, and that they commenced listing their assets, and suddenly, assets listings commenced shooting up all around the international, together with Germany, Spain, or even Hong Kong. This is how Airbnb laid a strong basis for the maximum effective shape of marketing, phrase of mouth, with the aid of using reworking hosts into logo ambassadors. This is how the aggregate of timing, layout for belief, and empathy have become the proper recipe for Airbnb's success. Today, Airbnb is so massive that it has 7 million listings in 191 nations and made $4.7 billion in sales in 2019.

Neuralink : merging human and machines

                                                     NEURALINK

Neuralink is an innovation that could help human beings with cooperating with machines wondering carefully.

Elon Musk's competitive venture of interfacing the human cerebrum to the net to assist manage machines is almost on the section of being added for commercial enterprise use.

More prominently called Neuralink, the employer disclosed on 28 August 2020 their mind-laptop interface tech on stay pigs, displaying the neurons withinside the pig’s mind firing in exact time. Neuralink may want to push ahead research in the fields of neuroanatomy and neuroscience through the years.

When you first pay attention to it, Neuralink’s pursuit sounds like it"s impossible to resist comes right away out of a mad genius’s diary certainly, with Elon Musk on the top of the employer, that image might not be a far stretch. But the thing here is if we put aside the thoughts like it is impossible or if we diminish the idea at a lower level then it will obviously sound tough and ridiculous rather we need to look beyond some reel fiction.

 Let's delve into Neuralink 

Neuralink is a tool, specifically, a Brain-Machine Interface with a view to being surgically implanted into your mind, and with it, you’ll be able to interact with the machines or maybe handle them. It may additionally help have a look at and remedy numerous medical problems. Since the employer became based in 2016 and has been strolling in developing this era ever since. The Neuralink chipset called the N1 chipset can be established withinside the skull this is 8mm in diameter and has a couple of wires housing electrodes and insulation for the wires. 

These wires may be surgically located internally in your mind with the use of a medical instrument. The officials claim that the wires are as thick because of the neurons withinside the mind and it is very thin than our hairs, u could say at 100 micrometers. More than one tool may be located withinside the cranium to goal extraordinary sections of the mind.

Remember the Hollywood movie, The Matrix? Remember the scene in which Neo, learns martial arts simply by loading a laptop application into his mind?

Neuralink may not be capable of educating us martial arts however it is going to be capable of ship and getting hold of electric indicators via the mind to govern machines. Right now, the employer has stated that we are able to be capable of managing simple gadgets like our smartphone, laptop,  and perhaps even kind the use of mind.

Now, to recognize how Neuralink works, we need to recognize that our mind sends facts to extraordinary elements of your frame the use of neurons; those neurons for your mind connect to every different to shape a big community and talk the use of chemical indicators referred to as neuro communicator. This response generates an electric-powered subject and we will file those reactions by setting electrodes nearby. These electrodes can then recognize the electric sign in our mind and translate them into a set of rules that a system can study. In this manner, Neuralink may be capable of studying what we're wondering and discovering a manner for us to speak to machines without even starting our mouths.

The intention of the N1 chip is to file and stimulate electric spikes internal our brains. We can also be capable of studying extraordinary talents through the use of a committed application.

At the moment, Neuralink makes use of a Bluetooth Radio, however, that can alternate withinside the destiny. It is sure even though that something shape the generation shall take in the end may be wireless — in reality, it’s one of the pinnacle priorities of the Neuralink team.

The company stated that the preliminary section of the challenge will attention on supporting the healthcare industry. The system may be capable of assisting paraplegics with easy responsibilities like working on a telecall smartphone or interacting with a laptop. It will also be used to deal with epilepsy. In the interview, Musk stated that the tool can also be capable of assist regain someone’s eyesight even supposing they've misplaced their optic nerve. He stated that this generation, in principle, may be capable of restoring something incorrect with the mind. Musk additionally delivered that Neuralink also can be used to repair the memory, speech, and motion of a paralyzed person.

Post an entire symbiosis of the tech and the human mind, Musk additionally stated that it is going to be feasible for human beings to engage with every different without the want to surely talk. Just imagine, the cap potential to study someone’s mind!

We may also get extra hardware to move tune into our brains. The concept of telepathy is not farfetched with tech like this. For now, even though, Neuralink is asking at a timeline of five years at the least to be absolutely developed.

CONCERNS OVER THE LEGITIMACY OF NEURALINK

The primary hassle with the idea is that if the tool is hooked up to the net then how it is going to be blanketed in opposition to hackers who would possibly attempt to scouse borrow records immediately from our brains. And what’s preventing someone from spying on my mind via the tool?

Surely there are a few issues concerning the safety troubles and accessibility of such a modern generation, however, the reality that such generation now exists in actual existence is absolutely exhilarating.

   

What Really is Cryptocurrency/Bitcoins

                                 UNDERSTANDING          CRYPTOCURRENCY

I am damn sure that you might have been in a conversation, where that one fellow friend of yours flaunting, his Bitcoin investments, and you don't have any idea of what he's been saying for hours, and you prefer to maintain the decorum of silence there.

So, what actually is this bitcoin the Cryptocurrency, people are going crazy initially, Billionaire like Warren Buffett resisted the crypto but suddenly its value got very appreciated even the tech giant like tesla invested 1.5 billion in bitcoin what caused the bullish Crypto Market? 

 let's just address the whole thing from the origin itself that is "money"

In simple terms, money equals value. We all are giving money the "value", and that's why money is accepted everywhere. We have a history of giving value to many things, and that particular thing became the currency of that period. 

Throughout humanity things which got value has changed over decades, there was a time when people used to give a bag of rice as the value for their works, but after ages, coins of various metallic forms came, after that  Gold coins had the value, we have given value to different things, and that became the model of currency, and as the world evolved it became difficult to have a uniform currency, so the government of different countries decided to print their own currency and made a promise to the people that these notes are valuable and we believe simply because we trust the government. 

 The government is responsible to make sure that the money remains valuable, that's the reason they cannot print the money according to their wants if they do, the value of each note goes down whenever surplus notes are printed, hence it should be in a limited amount. 

The money is controlled by the central authority, they can increase or decrease the supply of money, which means as long as the central authority is stable, the state of money is secure, But what if the authority collapses, it will definitely hinder our money, our purchasing power will also go down. These are the main disadvantages of money.

                                 THE NECESSITY OF CRYPTOCURRENCY 

The ideal scenario should be, firstly the currency should be in a limited amount. Now in case, anything happens to the authority the money should be stable, which brings us to the second point, that there should be no authority that controls the money. So to solve, both problems we have Cryptocurrency. 

Cryptocurrency is nothing but a form of digital cash that can be stored on a computer or in a  phone and can be sent from one person to another person with no intermediary. 

Now for instance, if a person from India, wants to send dollars to the USA, can that person directly send the funds?  no, the person needs to go or direct the bank to convert the money, and to verify his account, after that only the transaction is possible, so here there is an involvement of the third party that is the bank. Now let's understand, if we are choosing a digital form of money which is a cryptocurrency, then the money could be directly transferred to another person, without having any third party or any intermediary. 

Now Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin are the types of Cryptocurrency. Since Cryptocurrency works on blockchain technology, there is one centralized ledger that has the compilation of all transactions 

The advantages of cryptocurrency

Nobody controls this type of currency, meaning no one can demonetize it or can ban it, you have complete control over your money

 No, geographical restrictions and intermediaries involved      

It provides an unalterable record of every transaction, meaning highly secured 

It is limited in number, there is  a finite amount of Cryptocurrency for example there is always be 21 million bitcoins only, that is why it is called "Digitial Gold"

         Bitcoin           

Bitcoin was founded in 2008 and launched in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, today bitcoin is one of the famous coins among the cryptocurrency. 

So like I said earlier bitcoins are limited there are 21 million bitcoins all over the world but out of that in circulation, 18.6 bitcoins are circulating. Now the question is, from where do the new bitcoins generated? 

The new bitcoins are generated from the decentralized process called Mining, basically, the miners are the ones who process the bitcoin transactions, through this process they are mining bitcoins that is why there are called miners. In simple terms whenever they solve or verify the bitcoin transactions they are rewarded with bitcoins, by the way, the process of solving also becomes hard, also the number of bitcoins miners can win decreases overtime that is the reason, why people are motivated to hold their bitcoins so that the value goes up, while the value goes up people tend to invest in it, thus driving the cycle further.

                Conclusion

I would like to conclude by stating that it's all about the value when everyone gives value to some object or a thing ultimately that particular object/thing becomes valuable, there are some couple of reasons why these things get value, when something is very rare, which is not replicable and if it can be used in trading like for an asset.  

Now many countries are on their way to making Bitcoin legal, a company like Tesla is accepting payments in Bitcoins and you know the reason why if you read till here.  

Should you buy 5G phones in India in 2021

             The Coming of 5G

The nation of 5G in India JIO 5G to be had from the closing of 2021 confirms Mukesh Ambani On the opposite hand, Manu Kumar Jain on social media addressed that 5G is at the least 2 to five years beforehand to be regarded upon and he, in addition, provides why to pay thousand rupees extra whilst you can't use the function at fullest.

 so, the quick solution can be NO, we cannot use 5G whenever quicker due to the fact there are numerous matters to appear upon earlier than imposing the setup itself. 

so, earlier than going any in addition let's simply actually apprehend what's 5G? 

5G is the fifth era of a mobile community much like 2G,3G, and 4G. All those networks are labored on electromagnetic waves. Now, those waves have frequencies. 

As in 5G, the waves are divided into elements which might be SUB 6 GHz and MM wave, sub 6 is likewise called Mid band, and MM wave is likewise recognized the as excessive band. 

Sub 6 gives a higher and quicker net first-rate than 4G even in case you are a long way far from the community base it is able to facilitate extranet capacity. Now if we speak about, MM waveband is the quickest community which surpasses all different communities however the hassle is that it might not come up with the sign energy in case you are a long way far from the sign base, you want to live nearer including to this, the setup and implementation are itself could be very luxurious essentially that is the fundamental records that we want to know

 Now, there have not been carried out any 5G auctions on determining which band needs to perform in India so we nevertheless were given no clue over which 5G band can be allowed to perform. So, for the maximum ninety percentage probabilities even for five -6 12 months, we are able to be the use of SUB 6 simplest and Apart from Jio no different community groups are promising 5G 

The relaxation of all different mobile groups are going to perform beneath neath SUB 6 simplest as that is additionally beneath paintings in development it'll take time and in India, now no longer many telephones assist MM wave 5G band in India a number of the famous telephones which helps MM wave aren't so much. 

As referred to in advance it relies upon the mobile group's Idea Vodafone, Airtel, and Jio whether or not they're working it or now no longer. Any telecalls smartphone promoting in India might not come up with a loopy quantity of 1000mbps download pace as there are numerous elements to it. 

So coming to the massive query need to you purchase a 5G telecalls smartphone in India well, 5G should not be the primary cause to shop for a telecall smartphone because it will take 1 -2 years to get a viable 5G or even 3 - four years to a solid 5G community in India, Hence in case you purchase the telecalls smartphone now there a truthful danger which you might extrude the telecalls smartphone at the least 2 instances by the point 5G is available in India.
