Many people are more concerned about the environment by usage of plastics. However, we could see the same people replacing their laptop or mobile every year. Currently there are about 10 billion mobile phones worldwide, which surpasses the world population of 7.8 billion people.

Now in 2020, the Corona virus, COVID-19 has been the dominating topic in all news and social media over a month. One of the reasons for the spread of the virus is Urbanization. Today, around 55 percent of the world’s population is living in cities or urban areas with closer proximity to each other. When we notice, the virus spreads more rapidly in countries with strong central government such as China (Wuhan), Italy, Japan and South Korea. Urbanization makes easier and faster to travel, migrate from one place to another for humans as well as the viruses. The next few reasons are excessive optimism and over confidence.

We all know about AI (Artificial Intelligence) emphasize the creation of machine that can react like humans. But, Machine Learning is one step ahead of AI, which is just like a real intelligent human. The human race is evolved by their discoveries made during a particular period of time. When these discoveries are kept in sequence, the discovery which brings the biggest change in the world are said to be revolution. In the history of evolution, the technology which are closely interacts with humans are supposed to bring these revolutions in the past. From the start of the human evolution, three major revolutions take place, which includes, 1. Agricultural Revolution 2. Industrial Revolution and 3. Informational Revolution. Which one will be the 4th major revolution? In olden days cost of both hardware and software for processing the data are very high. Nowadays, large amount of data can be processed and by which we can predict the future by one of the fastest ...

When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money! — Cree Proverb Rivers are the main source of development in human civilization. A river which originates in the mountain flows down as tiny stream and fed by glaciers or rain water running of the land which then meets with other small streams of water and join together, growing as river. As the river flows, exchanges its mineral resources with the surrounding environment and pervades every facet of existence for life. River ecosystem is the biological power source of the planet. The important part in this ecosystem is the place where the river and sea meet together (Estuaries). This fusion is stopped by building dams which lead many vulnerabilities and consequences. When the river ecosystem is interpreted, it not only affects agriculture but also the aquatic environment. Estuaries are a habitat for many aquatic organisms with high lev...

“The domestication of dogs was one of the most extraordinary events in human history”-  Brian Hare, Anthropologist Human beings have established their homes and communities all over the world. But they didn’t do it alone; dogs have accompanied humans in herding, hunting, and sledding. The relationship with dogs goes back thousands of years further than with any other pet. Of all those animal alliances, our relationship with the dogs is the oldest for at least 30,000 years or even older. But, they all evolved from the ancient wolves which are purely wild animals and more violent in nature. What makes these wolves from being our bitter rivals to man’s best friend? Roughly over 100,000 years ago, human beings started to migrate and settled in Eurasia, the continent comprising all of Europe and Asia. At that time wolves were one of the main rivals at the top of the food chain for humans. Much like human hunters, they lived and hunted in groups. Further, they used th...

Everyone makes mistakes; possibly we could be making serious mistakes in our life. But what is beautiful in life is it allows us to correct those mistakes. When I started to write, like most of the children I use to start with slate and the chalk. I was very happy to write or scribble something in the slate, because it was easy and also I was able to correct my mistakes. Then I moved to paper and pencil, which I felt little difficult to correct my mistakes. Then for the first time I got a pencil with a rubber, an eraser behind. This makes my work simpler in self-correction. Then I started using pen, I would try to erase the mistake before anyone could see it. I tried so hard to my best to erase my mistake. I use chalk to clean, but it later re-appeared. Again, I try using saliva; it worked, but only to leave holes in my books. I was caught by my teacher for being appalling dirty.   I explained this incident to my mother; she calmed me down and kindly replied, “Anytime you ...
