A quick presentation to non-technical audience how technology is affecting our lives, pointing out that the technology impacts can no longer be ignored.
Pervasive computing is the growing trend towards embedding microprocessors in everyday objects so they can communicate information.
The words pervasive and ubiquitous mean "existing everywhere”.
It is also called “Ubiquitous computing”
Distributed Computing “two or more computers communicating and co-ordinating by message passing”.
Its also called as "Parallel computing”.
Adaptive Ambient Intelligence and Smart EnvironmentsAhmad Lotfi
Ambient Intelligence is an emerging discipline that brings intelligence to our living environments, makes those environments sensitive to us, and adapt according to the user’s needs. By enriching an environment with appropriate sensors and interconnected devices, the environment would be able to sense changes and support decisions that benefit the users of that environment. Such smart environments could help to reduce the energy consumption, increase user’s comfort, improve security and productivity, etc. One specific area of interest is the application of ambient intelligence in Ambient Assisted Living, where the home environment provides assistance with daily living activities for people with disabilities. In my presentation, I will provide a review of the technologies and environments that comprises ambient intelligence, as well as how changes in the environment are reflected in the overall design of an adaptive ambient intelligence environment.

It became apparent that one can adapt any transmission parameters to time-varying channels across the protocol stack. The optimization problems above degrees of freedom with various constraints were defined in the technical report. I also predicted that adaptation will be the most important problem in years to come as the resources are always scarce.
An overview type of presentation on energy efficiency of telecommunication networks indicating which approaches are more effective than the others. Also pointed out that different actors in the system optimize different optimization problems of energy consumption.
The Next Big Thing: The Physical InternetPavel Loskot

Multiuser MIMO-OFDM simulation framework in MatlabPavel Loskot
Simulation framework for multiuser MIMO-OFDM over multipath fading channels. Also created a C-like pre-processor in Matlab to add flexibility in configuring the simulation prior its run.
A summary of my thinking on this topic, unfortunately, also the last ones. Defined the inevitable trade-off between the reliability and throughput, suggested adaptation across the protocol stack etc.
Summary of my first attempt to define a new research direction that was called 'Adaptive Radio Links'. At the time, only adaptive modulation and cognitive spectrum access have just emerged.
Changes made by Information Technology (IT) in our SocietyJigyasa Singh
It would be ungrateful on our part not to recognize how immense the boons are which modern technology has given to mankind. Can we think of living without computers, mobile phones, electricity or modern methods of publishing? We all know the impact of technology in medical science & education system on us.
Information is a valuable asset that can make or break your business.pdfankitmobileshop235
Information is a valuable asset that can make or break your business. When properly managed it
allows you to operate with confidence. Information security management gives you the freedom
to grow, innovate and broaden your customer-base in the knowledge that all your confidential
information will remain that way.
In this information era, Security has become more difficult to define and enforce.
information security was limited to controlling physical access to oral or written
communications. The importance of information security led societies to develop innovative
ways of protecting their information. Recent innovations in information technology, like the
Internet, have made it possible to send vast quantities of data across the globe with ease.
However, the challenge of controlling and protecting that information has grown exponentially
now that data can be easily transmitted, stored, copied, manipulated, and destroyed.
Within a large organization information technology generally refers to laptop and desktop
computers, servers, routers, and switches that form a computer network, although information
technology also includes fax machines, phone and voice mail systems, cellular phones, and other
electronic systems. A growing reliance on computers to work and communicate has made the
control of computer networks an important part of information security. Unauthorized access to
paper documents or phone conversations is still an information security concern, but the real
challenge has become protecting the security of computer networks, especially when they are
connected to the Internet. Most large organizations have their own local computer network, or
intranet, that links their computers together to share resources and support the communications
of employees and others with a legitimate need for access. Almost all of these networks are
connected to the Internet and allow employees to go “online.”

Information Technology and Modern Gadgets: Introduction, Utilization of Various Gadgets, Advantages of modern gadgets, Disadvantages of modern gadgets, Top 10 gadgets in India with small description.
The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
The Internet helped people to connect with static information available but now it is helping to build connection from people to people, people to physical objects and physical objects to other physical objects.
The speedy growth of Internet data is making networked connections more relevant and valuable. Also it creates exciting business opportunities for industries. Almost all every area, every device, every sensor,
every software are connected to each other. The ability to access these devices through a Smartphone or through a computer is called IoT (Internet of Things). These devices are accessed remotely. The Internet of things (IoT) is one of the top three technological advancements of the next decade together with the mobile, internet and the automation of knowledge work.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
