Budget sends a clear message: India is open to business

We all knew it wasn’t going to be easy. Union finance minister Arun Jaitley had to come up with a budget that would be both a ‘thank-you-voter’ act and a trailer to a grander economic overhaul that India Inc and investors would like to see this government usher in.

The lawyer-turned-politician appears to have made a good beginning, but the road ahead could be long, one that he will be able to traverse only with visionary thinking and political will.

In offering relief to tax payers, slashing duties on goods that the urban middle class aspires for, setting aside funds for entrepreneurship and smart cities, among others, Jaitley has sought to deliver on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's promise of acche din.

The problem with inflation in our context is that it is driven much by supply side constraints and pass-through effects of global crude oil and commodity prices that are beyond the control of a finance minister. In his budget, Jaitley has proposed a price stabilisation fund for farm goods — a good idea, which is yet to be tested.  The biggest risk to inflation, however, lies in a possible monsoon failure that we may be staring at soon.  In other words, the extra money that the finance minister has sought to leave with the salaried class by increasing the tax exemption limits could just go in paying more for food.

As for jobs, the budget rightfully places a lot of emphasis on skill development  — an issue that Modi is focused on. The proposals to set up a Rs. 10,000-crore venture fund for micro small and medium enterprises, technology start-ups and similar funds for rural entrepreneurs are welcome moves. But these are initiatives which will take time to have their impact.

The present Indian Education System...my view...

"It does not matter if you do the right thing or not, what matters is that you say the right thing."

                                                                                                    --the education system.

 

Yes the present education system is what the above is.....will you agree with me..?

 

The Indian Education System is a very peculiar one. Like seats in trains we fight for seats in colleges and these fights are commonly known as Competitive Examinations. I’m not here talking about these exams nor will I talk about how pressurizing it is to be in the Indian Education System, I will only showcase my views about how this education system kills the ‘thinking’ of the youth and why our country has so many problems. So, let the games begin…

 

The Indian Education system has taught us many things, it has taught us to lie, to cheat and to do many other ill-practices in an attempt to get a little lead in the so-called Competition of Life. Why am I saying this? This is because there are people around me who are blatant hypocrites. As to why they are what they are is because this is what education has taught all of us. A clear example illustrates my views.

 

Seen in this light, the purpose of education is not just to help students acquire degree and obtain jobs. If the society is not organized properly, jobs become difficult to acquire, degrees lose their meaning and education becomes a national waste as it is happening in many countries in the world today. Our students became irresponsible and directionless mob, out to destroy the very fabric of society. Instead of contributing to the progress of the nation, they became, to a large extent, a burden on the nation’s economy and society.
This is not only the fault or irresponsibility of students, it is even the syllabus or the way of teaching in the classes i.e., only theoretical knowledge and students have to by heart  it and write in exams. let me give you an example here..: when some x student writes exactly what is there in notebook so called "topper" in class will be awarded full marks. but the student who writes the same point in a different manner  he/she will not be given marks.....so who should be blamed here...the student for not by hearting the notebook in this type of educational system or the teacher who only follows the notebook or the key given to them..???
let me give you another example...:now a days teachers are showing  partiality on student which shows a negative impact on so called "slow learners". When I was in my secondary school, in half yearly exams for a 15 marks question in English the so called "topper" have written a wrong answer but my teacher gave 14 marks, Many of our classmates have written a correct and a good explanation for that answer was given marks between 7-10.  Is this fare.....?!?!
 
If our education system is like this it is definitely a burden on the nation's economy, society and even on the golden future of the students....

The wearable finger mouse-MYCESTRO

What if you could move your mouse cursor by just slightly moving your hand?

Consumer-level gesture control for your PC is growing ever closer. There’s the Leap Motion, which uses stereoscopic motion tracking, and Myo, which reads both movement and the electrical signals along your muscles.

Mycestro is a little different again. The device is a small, finger-mounted mouse that operates in 3D space.

Compatible with Bluetooth 4.0, the device can also be recharged via micro USB and comes packaged with a Bluetooth dongle. Out of the box, it will be compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux; the Bluetooth support means that it will also work with any Bluetooth Smart Ready devices, such as iPads and iPods.

Creating Music Through Body Movements

A team of researchers from the Input Devices and Music Interaction Lab (IDMIL) at McGill University have developed “prosthetic digital instruments”. The instruments resemble spines and rib cages, designed to be worn on the body to create music that relates to the body movement.

The resulting computer music control interfaces can function as both hand-held controllers and wearable, movement-tracking extensions of the body. The team made around 30 working instruments in total, each with power supplies, embedded sensors, and wireless data transceivers to allow performers to control and fine-tune their music through intricate touch, movement, and location. Signals from each individual instrument are sent to an open-source peer-to-peer software system that transforms the gestures into sound.
“We thought that might make it more believable, something that’s closer to a material than a collection of parts,” explains Malloch, IDMIL director in a documentary about the project.

Sony's 'lens camaras'

If you ever thought that the mobile photography meant packing in a high-end camera into a smartphone then Sony seems keen to change that concept.

The lens camera duo doesn't feature any screen and camera controls, but can be controlled through the smartphone or tablet's Wi-Fi or NFC. The external lenses can be magnetically attached with a smartphone or tablet and can work on both Android and iOS devices.

 The lenses will feature two different sensors. The top end model will pack the 20.2-megapixel Exmor R sensor and f/1.8 Carl Zeiss lens from the Sony RX100 II while another model will feature a 10x zoom lens with 1/2,3-inch 18-megapixel CMOS sensor.
