The Social Dilemma (must read)

 

The social Dilemma is a 1hr 34min documentary on Netflix. This documentary explores the impact of social networking on humans. With tech experts sounding the alarm on their own creation.

Thought proving, disturbing and ultimately a call to action the social dilemma and the groups behind it expose the turning point in our interaction with technology , which we are not at all naïve of.

The social dilemma is a documentary you’ll watch and immediately would want to toss your phone in the garbage can and then toss a garbage can through a window at face book.

It’s an eye opening look into the way social media is design to create addiction and address our behavior. It also provide a detail view on other problems including fake news, election security concerns , polarization and many more.

 “Fake news spread six time faster than true news “ said one of the expert.

Tim Kendall , a former president of pinterest admits that years ago “I couldn’t get of my phone  despite having 2 kids”. “I was addicted and couldn’t help myself”.

 “Social media is a drug” said another.

 “What I want people to know is  what they are doing online is being watched, is being tracked every single action you take is carefully monitored” said by other.

These words surprised me the most“The people controlling the social media know your personality ,they know your interests they even know whether you are an introvert or extrovert”.

 “Social media starts to dig deeper and deeper down into the brain stem and take over kid’s sense of self worth and identity” said another explaining the disadvantages.

I highly recommend everyone to watch this documentary and show it to your kids too inorder to spread awareness.

Reopening of schools during Covid 19

 Reopening of school during covid 19 is very risky. Parents are confused and disagree to send their kids to school. Well they are not the ones to blame but on the other hand kids have already wasted alot of time and need to catch up on their studies. IN contrast the seniors can follow SOPs but it would be difficult for toddlers to do so. This has resulted in complete confusion. 606 cases are reported after the reopening of schools already.

The policy of going school at the alternative days is another problem because it will be difficult to maintain a routine for students. Instead the school days should be consecutive.

I strongly suggest that the work for the students below matriculation and o levels should be assignment based. The toddlers from pre-school to 5 should not go to school because they can be carrier and pass the virus to their parents.

Gang Rape Of Woman On Motorway

         LAHORE, 10th of September: A Pakistani woman was allegedly gang-raped in front of three of her children.The woman was driving on the Lahore-sailkot motorway on Wednesday when her car stopped near Gujrapura the police said it was due to shortage of petrol or some fault.In the FIR, she said that she was waiting for her relative to pick her and her children from the spot when two armed robbers smashed her car window and attacked her.

The woman said she contacted the helpline 130 but she was informed that the service was not available.

CCPO Sheikh Omar, however, said “I am shocked… she, a mother of three, and the only driver late at night should have taken the GT  Road instead, which is densely populated,” he said. Therefore, Political leaders, civil society and rights activists have convicted the incident and blamed the Punjab government for its failure to ensure law and order in the province.

So sorry but this is a very irresponsible statement given by CCPO. What are you trying to elaborate?Should a responsible citizen and importantly should an official give such a irresponsible statement rather than focusing on the safety and to find the culprit.Are you trying to say that any woman who is driving on the motorway at night will be raped ?Is she not EVEN safe in her own country EVEN in her own car?WHY?What is her fault ?Is it because she is a female?AND let me remind you not only woman but even 5-7 year olds girl/boys,teenage boys,transgenders,teenage girls are also not safe.

So sad to say but we all have failed !!!!!!

In many countries of the world the punishment of such act is public execution like Iran,China,Afghanistan,Saudia Arabia.In Afghanistan the rapist is hanged within four days.My question is why in Islamic Jamuria Pakistan rapist can't be executed publicly?We demand a very dreadful death he should be hanged in front of people so they can throw stones at him and bleed him to death.Now that's what will hopefully discourage criminals for performing such disgusting acts.

Neuralink

 

Elon Musk who is a south African entrepreneur and is known for finding the Tesla motors and space x promised a big thing which sounded almost impossible and weird to some people. He said  in a conference in California that he is working on a chip called neuralink which would be implanted in human brain and with the help of that we could directly communicate with our brain.

Our brains are made with millions of neurons cells with long spindly arms that send messages by electrical spikes those spikes and electricity travel between neurons in a chain reaction sending messages to the part of our brain that control speech or movement .When you move your arm that action started as an electrical spike up your brain.How neuralink plans to read those electrical  spikes ? According to neuralink your brain cells are kind of  electrical wiring and rather than just having neurons sending electrical signals.Those signals could be send and received by a chip.

Elon Musk unveiled neuralinks implantable brain chip the version 0.9 it’s a brain computer interface to be implanted directly into the brain by a surgical robot.So basically you just remove a coin sized piece from your skull and when the chips is in you can just walk around right afterwards.The chip plugs into your brain directly by tiny microscopic threads and they connect with the neurons in your brain to receive and send electrical signals importantly neuralink says these electrodes wont damage your brain if they are inserted very carefully.

The chip has all-day battery life, wireless charging and its designed to wirelessly connect to your phone via Bluetooth with a range of 5 to 10 meters.

The surgery will start of expensive but Elon Musk said that it would eventually hopefully cost a couple of 1000 dollars.

Elon Musk did an experiment on 3 pigs with a chip in one of them.You can hear the neurons of the pig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgqLGDclvLk

It is also observed that the chip was predicting the pigs movement based on brains activity which was almost correct.

Neuralink chips can measure temperature, pressure and movement, data that could warn you about a heart attack or stroke, Musk said. The technology could help with neurological disorders, which are rooted in the inability of the brain to connect with nerves around the body. These include epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease, but also paraplegia and quadriplegia following injuries to spinal nerves.It would also help with paralysis and blindness.
