What future holds for us

Who would have thought that there would be HD video, self driving cars and wi fi ? well some people predicted it with quite certainty and many like me just wished for it. I may not ray kurzweil in this matter but i do think the future is interesting in terms of technology and it will keep getting interesting and of course more messy.
1. By 2050 we may not be needing any input output devices like keyboard, mouse, touchscreen or touch pads. Your thoughts are enough to type, search or do any task on your computer which you normally do with your I/O devices. It also means that you will have to mask yourself from TTs or Thought Tress-passers who will try to steal your thought and try to read your mind without your knowledge and try to know your secrets. This will also lead to a new type of mind-hacking where hackers will try to gain access to your personal and financial details over the web with the help of some social hacking. Companies like google who search keywords from your emails to judge what ads might interest you, may start browsing your mind and see what you really need and what you really want. Future matchmaking will be much easier with automated soft-wares with access to your minds may find a proper match for you on your favorite matrimonial or dating site. The product you may want to watch out in this segment is NeuroSky Mindset with its future variations. We will be able to do most of the daily tasks such as changing the temperature of the refrigerator, changing tv channels, send mails typing, browsing etc., with just our thoughts. People with bionic limbs will be able to control them with their thoughts without having to rely on dumb prosthetic limbs.
2. Our vehicles are auto-piloted, our body parts can be replaced with mechanized/digitized versions which can be controlled, shutdown or damaged remotely by people with vested interest and of course we know people who tried to warn us about it got a mysterious death like the hacker barnaby jack.
3. The biggest invention any civilization can make is communicating with itself back in time. We all have thought at some point in our life that I wish I knew this earlier, I wish I could go back in time and tell myself about this to a younger version of me so that I could avoid certain things. Assuming that human kind has survived and thrived in future, this method already exists. So future us is communicating, educating us to speed up our civilization's progress. So if this communication happens with someone who predates the existence of any long distance real time communication like today then they will for surely think that it was the voice of god or an angel and may be start a religion based on that. What if all the knowledge in all the holy texts was just the future us trying to make the past and present us wiser than what we are and we only were able to digest the higher level of context of the text!!!???

---more such nonsense for later... :P

Reservations and Appeasement: A conspiracy to destroy India

The best way to destroy a country is to make it destroy itself by its own people who feel righteous about themselves when they do it. The western countries like USA and other European countries need talent to drive their countries, corporations forward so that they stay ahead of the curve and this can be achieved only real talent. When in countries like india bring forth laws which will make sure that the important key positions in the government sector are based on discrimination, color, caste, language, creed and origin the real talented youngsters will obviously turn to the private sectors and a lot of these youngsters and talented youth is being grabbed at a high price from many western institutions and corporations like NASA, Google, Microsoft etc., which will only benefit the west and its interests because now we have indians working for western companies and countries in competition with india. It is in the interest of these western countries and private corporati...

I would If I could - 2 - Viral development via Smart Cities

Viral development via Smart Cities example city : bangalore Current disadvantages of cities/smart cities polarization of growth, development Dis connectivity between the residents of city and the rest of the citizens of the country Rise of class system migration of people, talent only towards city causing weaker section of society everywhere except city. talented, efficient people would not want to go to other places than cities due to lack of facilities, growth or development there won't be any growth, development or facilities other than cities due to lack of efficient people in places other than cities and also lack of interest sooner are later cities become seeders and places away from cities become leechers (if you have used bittorrent technology, then you would know) The migration of people to cities will always be higher than the rate of growth or accommodation and capacity of the cities due to the natural tendency of people to migrate to a better place with ...

stackexchange: Are shudras and women not allowed to chant Aum i.e Pranava?

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. Chanting and reading are different. Vedic Chanting has two parts - Tone and Recitation (Patha). It further has four different tones - Udatta, Anudaatta, Svarita and Deergha Svarita. Pathas are the styles of hymnal recitation. So unless your are are well skilled in these and your pronouncination, enunciation is accurate, you are not supposed to chant. Chanting the same mantras in different way produces different effects, different vibrations. Many a times a slight difference in spacing, intonation, pronounciation, enunciation produces different meanings. So unless you are classically trained to chant these, one shall avoid it but can read them with sound without making a sound, silently. Ex: Many in north india swap va & ba. Ravindranath tagore becomes rabindranath tagore. Many in north india also swap ra & da...
