TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT

( By Pragya Kumar )

Image By:- Shalaka Pande

It was a June afternoon when the sun's scorching heat was sucking the hydration out of my body. The thin stream of sweats was flowing down my forehead. The sweet jasmine cologne of mine got mixed with the moisture of my skin and exhibited a distinct aroma. After scrambling in the sun for hours I eloped to the shade of my building. I stood on the ground floor calling for the elevator. After 2-3 wage attempts, the guard informed me that the elevators aren't working. Agitated, I climbed the flight of stairs to the fifth floor, cursing every step.  I unlocked the apartment to find that there was a power cut. I threw my bag on the couch and pulled out my phone and the screen beeped with a 3 percent battery. It was a day full of regret and bad luck. I felt like putting my head through a wall.  What is life without all these technologies? I wonder what would have happened if Benjamin Franklin didn't discover electricity or if nobody had the brains to understand quantum mechanics, we would never have had the pleasures of an elevator. And smartphones would be oblivion.

Well, they say, "necessity is the mother of invention" and seeing myself laying on this couch uselessly makes me believe it.  Human life has always been a roller coaster ride.  Beginning from the stone age to date the human brain cells bring out the best of their ability. We walked on this earth submerging into nature but now we rule with all kinds of facilities that we develop.

Electricity was one such invention which revolutionized mankind. The PROMETHEUS  act of gifting fire to mankind was prohibited by  ZEUS. He was not only questioned but also exemplary bound to death every day.  If  ZEUS today survived in this generation, we would have been confined to his dictatorship and Franklin would have been held up in some cave away devoid of all human pursuits. The Discovery of electricity enhanced the scope of the invention. It brought human brains to work. It fueled the generation with all sorts of benefits and made them think beyond ordinary.

The science reached its culmination with the discovery of LASER in 1960. It was not only a discovery of electronics but also the discovery of medical technology. With a streak of wavelength, it transformed life. Beyond the mere comprehension of the colloquial. I never had the brains for understanding science.  Quantum physics ended upbringing cold sweats to me.  I was afraid of studying.  But as an observer to the surroundings full of such inventions, I believe we owe a big amount to science. Beginning from switching on a small light button till grabbing a cold drink directly from the refrigerator, we are neighbored by all kinds of science. Which reminds me of the unearthing of COMPUTER. An investment made by Charles Barbagge that just blew our wits apart.  An amalgamation of wires perfectly encapsulated within the fiber body. It was the invention of a century which to date surprises us.  The zeal of humans to make something new everyday sustains a world of development. According to a report of October 2019 of the urban hub, "it was announced that a quantum computer, which uses quantum mechanics to massively increase processing power, solved a problem that a standard computer couldn’t in just 200 seconds".

Moving onto an essential invention in the field of biology was THE STEM CELLS.  Scientists studied the stem cells of a mouse which led to the discovery of stem cells in 1998.

What is a stem cell?

Stem cells are special human cells that have the ability to develop themselves into different types of cells.  They can range from being a muscle cell to a brain cell. It is a belief that in the coming year's stem cell-based therapies can help to cure paralysis and Alzheimer's.

Biotech foresaw the cure of diseases through genes in the human genome and mapped the human genome project in 2003.

Mechanical  marked the elevation of their projects by the manufacturing of automobiles. Driving cars, trains, airplanes, and buses. The transportation was brought to ease. The communication was sorted. Life's core was rectified. Apart from this, the most dynamic invention was the invention of the smartphone. It was a display of human creativity.  It brought the whole world to your palms with just mere touch on the screen. It never disappointed us rather surprised us with many advanced features every day.

 Writing this article has made me realize the value of technology in our life. The brim of the invention that we as human beings also misuse. We never know the perks of having all these technologies with us and we just go around cursing them when they stop responding. In the course of time, I believe many technological advancements are lined of humans to enjoy.

Why recycling should be necessary?

Why recycling should be necessary? ( by Neha Soni ) Why should we recycle? A question that is always around us but we fantastically ignore it. So why do we do that? Why don’t we recycle things or at least make some habits in our schools, colleges, or workplace that will segregate the recyclable products? The answer is simple- we are either not bothered or not have enough knowledge of the importance of recycling. Recycling is a process in which waste materials are converted into new materials and products. The new products which are formed are used, again get recycled and the cycle repeats. This is done to prevent excessive usage of raw materials and will help us in preserving the environment. Recycling is one of the main components of a waste management system and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" waste motto. Thus, recycling aims at environmental sustainability by substituting staple inputs into recyclable waste outputs.   Products which can be recycled a

            How to Stop Wasting Water? (By Sravani Binkam) Image By:- Shrut Kapadia Water covers about 71% of our earth that’s the reason why it’s so crucial to understanding and to change the climate. One of the most common ways in which people waste water by leaving the water running when brushing their teeth, shaving, showering, washing the dishes. Turn the tap off as soon as you start brushing, shaving, washing the dishes. For washing the dishes, we have one sink with clean water and one with soapy water. By using this tip, we can reduce water wastage. The average person wastes 30 glasses of water every day. Our toilet could be flushing away up to 5 gallons of water every time we flush. People tend to flush every time the toilet is used, which can waste hundreds of glasses a week. Using a pipe to wash the car can use up gallons of water. If we leave the hose running, then it can end up wasting almost 150 gallons of water. However, if we use a small bucket and sponge to wash the car

Role of Organic Farming

What is the role of organic farming in making future of Agriculture? ( by Neha Soni ) Agriculture is one of the leading sources of food within the World. Human has sacrificed its natural resources for economic development from the period of human civilization to the trendy world. Within the evolutionary period of agriculture, people used the practice of slash and burn agriculture, commonly called Jhum cultivation, where farmers cut down the trees of the forest and burn the plant remains. The ash is employed as a fertilizer and therefore the land is then used for farming or cattle grazing. After cultivation, the area is left for several years to permit its recovery. The farmers then advance to other areas and repeat the method. In earlier days, when Slash and Burn cultivation was in prevalence, enough time-gap was given specified that the land recovered from the effect of cultivation. With increasing population, and repeated cultivation, this recovery phase is completed away with, lea
