Learning is no longer a “once and done” affair. Lifelong and micro-learning will be essential -- and much of that learning may take place in vastly different ways than the traditional “teacher-student” model. Peer-to-peer learning, app-based learning, and other approaches will be essential for keeping workers nimble, engaged, and employable.
The process of learning becomes more enriching if sprinkled with interesting facts around us. Quizzing is one such innovative way of gaining knowledge. This slideshow sheds light on some of the finest ideas that have made a difference to this world by simple but effective steps. Enjoy the process of learning and seek inspiration to think out of the box with a set of 20 questions!
The Segways utilizes 5 spinners (mounted pivoting haggle hub that is allowed to turn toward any path) to empower the Segway to get "self-adjusting" which David Kamen's group authored the adage—Dynamic Stabilization. Alongside whirligigs, the Segway likewise has tilt sensors that screen the client's focal point of gravity 100 times each second, giving the rider a vibe that they're coasting on air.
Transportation of the future is coming sooner than we think. Teleportation, movable platforms, driver-less cars, and jet-packs are almost here. This presentation will help you to understand the importance of future transportation.

Seeking to mop up funds for its development and welfare initiatives, Kerala's Congress-led UDF Government hiked taxes and levies touching mostly motor vehicles, liquor, textiles and buildings.
In his budget for 2014-15 presented in the state Assembly, Finance Minister K.M. Mani sought to raise additional resources of Rs 1556.35 crore while giving emphasis on farm sector and increasing various welfare pensions.
Claiming that the levies were being rationalised, the budget proposed to collect around Rs 260 crore from motor vehicles and transport sector alone. This is not only expected to affect the affluent but also the common man may have to pay more to travel in autorickshaws.
The budget sharply increased the purchase tax on imported vehicles, lumpsum tax on motor cars of various capacities and sizes, new generation caravans and inter-state coaches.
