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.
