… a different perspective. We are fortunate to see the technological change (limiting myself to software) in front of our eyes. It's so wonderful that each change in technology brings with it sophistication and features, and which in turn help the developer community to transform an idea into reality. On the other hand these technologies/framework also has a name, and when you hear it for the first time in your wildest guess you will not understand what it's all about. "Pascal" it sounds like a name, "Cobol", "Foxpro"; well not sure what these can be and out of the many terms, the best of the lot is "C"; it's not even a word. This trend didn't change with today's languages and technologies as well. "Java", "C#", "Cocoa" to name a few. And according to me we also have a contender here too, "Ruby on Rails", it sounds like a story. There can be others, but for the first time

We are really moving at rocket speed when it comes to technology. Every passing day introduces a subtle but vital trend empowering one to achieve more. Today I would briefly talk about " Augmented Reality " ( oh yes, I know you heard it some where ). It's a live, view of a physical or real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer/mobile generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics, GPS etc. To be more simpler, your mirror image is your augmented self. This technology exposes one to experience almost real life objects using a virtual medium. The potential to this is paramount. The interactivity it induces could be used in teaching kids for instance, it may be how the volcanic eruption happens, phenomenon of reactions when different chemicals are mixed and all these without being physically at the place of occurrence. So using some special apps notably on your iOS or Android phone, one can view a specific image in

It sounds like an interesting point in the world of technology where innovations almost covering the complete spectrum of life which ever way we see. And it's not only about today, the coming days will be equally interesting and breathtaking. To start with "Apple". This company has been up to an innovation spree, and so just looking at the link will give a fare idea of the patents this company has filed and these patents will be a reality in the days to come in the form of Phone, Tablet, TV, Watch or a complete new product line. Slowly but silently "Samsung" is also coming up with some really cool innovations in the field of flexible displays under the brand name " YOUM "  thus introducing to the world a whole new form-factor with endless possibilities. So, as Google gears up with "KitKat" the next Android OS after "Jelly Beans" and also it's much awaited Google Glass , Motorola with it's latest phone "

Well I am not talking about the objective-oriented programming language developed by "Alan Kay" and Co. at Xerox and a later inspired version form Apple, but it's something more. In this fast moving world, many things change and mostly without a trace. But there are some changes which gets noticed when we accidentally start thinking about it. One of such subtle change has happen to the language we speak. To bring a larger perspective to this notion, lets step into the question of why we have languages?  Well to easily say it, "Language" helps us to express our thoughts and feelings with others". Now, you may wonder what's so new about it and even today and also the day's to come, people will continue to do the same. Well friend, the point here is how we say or speak the language of our choice. It doesn't mean that it is not expressive or correct today, but it is just that depending upon our own convenience we change it and thu

It really takes a lot of hard work and dedication to create a sculpture. The visible creations that we could see are now only limited to pottery or even the Hindu Goddesses during the yearly affaire or for that matter the last visit to a archaeological site or an ancient temple. The visual art creation all started many many years back around (24,000–22,000 BC), " Venus of Willendorf ", " Lion man of the Hohlenstein Stadel " to name a few from that time. Time moved on and the world got to see many a wonder notedly " Michelangelo's Moses ", " Moai from Easter Island ", " Nuremberg sculptor Adam Kraft ", " Venus de Milo ", " Michelangelo, The Statue of David ", " Ashoka Pillar, Vaishali, Bihar " and many more. The fast paced life has also brought some radical changes to life and the latest addition to it is 3D Printing .  3D Printing is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtua

This was originated from the word woecce which meant "watchman", because it was used by town watchmen to keep track of their shifts. Yes you guessed it right, today's point of discussion is "watches".  You may be curious by now, why such a topic? I don't have time but I do have a watch. Well, never ever did "Peter Hele" knew during the 15th century that his invention would in the 21st century spread that ripple around.  Here comes iWatch, supposedly the next big venture from Apple. Well, it's not only Apple who wants a pie of it, but joining with equal pride are the guys from "Pebble", "Sony", "MotoACTV" and many more. And why not, the trend is catching up like wild-fire and you never know it may just peek from your sleeves when some asks you "What's the time by your iWatch?" … till then keep exploring ...
