Human augmentation is a field of research that aims to enhance human abilitiesthrough medicine or technology. This has historically been achieved by consumingchemical substances that improve a selected ability or by installing implants whichrequire medical operations. Both of these methods of augmentation can be popular.Augmented abilities have also been achieved with external tools, such aseyeglasses, binoculars, microscopes or highly sensitive microphones. Lately,augmented reality and multimodal interaction technologies have enabled non-invasive ways to augment human. Human augmentation is an interdisciplinary field that addresses methods,technologies and their applications for enhancing sensing, action and/or cognitiveabilities of a human. This is achieved through sensing and actuation technologies,fusion and fission of information, and artificial intelligence (AI) methods.

We would add that in order for something to be an augment, it must become sointegrated into the user’s life that it becomes an extension of them. For instance, a hammeris only relevant when you need it and thus would not be an augment. But a sufficientlydiscreet exoskeleton could become as normal to your life as your ability to walk, and thuswould be an augment. So, following this rule, a laptop would not be considered anaugmentation, but a smartphone—and especially a mobile smartwatch—could easily beconsidered an augmentation. It’s almost always with (or on) you, and it augments yourability to access any information at any time.

“We are set in our ways, bound by our perspectives and stuck in our thinking.”- Joel Osteen

Human Augmentation

Replicating human ability: Human augmentations that restore or replicatetypical human abilities fall into the category of replication. This includes thingslike prosthetic limbs for the disabled, hearing aids for the deaf, and voicesynthesizers for the mute.Supplementing human ability: Human augmentations that improve our abilityto do something fall under the category of supplementation. This includesdevices that artificially increase our strength, enhance our sight beyond normallimits, or increase our intelligence.Exceeding human ability: Human augmentations that allow us to do things thatwe cannot do on our own fall into the category of exceeding augmentation. Thisincludes things like the ability to fly, breathe underwater, see ultraviolet orinfrared light, and smell chemicals not currently detectable by the humanolfactory sense.

Human augmentation can be further divided into three main categories with differentfunctions:

EKSOWORKS creates exoskeletons for industrial andrehabilitation purposes. Their products are devices that userswear on their body (typically from the torso up) for artificialstrength and endurance. These devices come in multiplevariations for different tasks, to help users in areas likeconstruction, auto manufacturing, and even physical therapy.

“Ideas and not battles mark the forward progress of mankind.” - L. Ron Hubbard

Types of Human Augmentation:

Many parts of the human body can be augmented, but here are five examples that showsome of the directions augmentation can take.

SOLAR EAR is a low-cost, solar-rechargeablehearing aid. It provides the hard of hearing and near-deaf with an affordable alternative to traditionalhearing aids, bringing the technology into countriesand regions that previously weren’t able to afford suchdevices.


“Thoughts are like burning stars, and ideas, they flood, they stretch the universe.” - Criss Jami

The TESLA SUIT is a wearable outfit that can control thewearer’s temperature, provide haptic feedback, and track thewearer’s movements. While this tech is currently being used forVR immersion, the ideas that have gone into its developmentcan be translated easily into the realm of augmentation.

SKYLIGHT, a platform by Upskill, has partneredwith Google to create smart glasses for aviationengineers. The glasses aid in the tightening of B-nuts, which are a critical component of jetengines. These nuts have to be tightenedperfectly or the engine could fail. The Skylightglasses can detect when a worker is tightening aB-nut, and they use a wi-fi connected torquewrench to determine when a B-nut has beentightened perfectly.

BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACES (BCI) areinterfaces that allow an individual to interact with acomputer or machine using only their mind. Whilemost of this technology is still conceptual, thepossibilities are limitless. BCI is not just aboutsending information to a computer, but alsoallowing humans to receive new types ofinformation from their computers in return.Computers may one day be able to digitallyreplicate aspects of the human experience,allowing individuals to experience softwarethrough all of their five senses.

“No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world”- Tom Schulman

1. Introduction

Since the beginning of our journey with computers, Windows OS has been one of ourcompanions. It is so user-friendly that even a layman can easily operate a computer withWindows OS. Let’s look at a brief introduction about this wonderful piece of software.

The Windows operating system (Windows OS) refers to a family of operating systemsdeveloped by Microsoft Corporation. Windows has traditionally dominated the personalcomputer world, running, by some estimates, more than 75 percent of all personalcomputers.

Windows provides a graphical user interface (GUI), virtual memory management,multitasking, and support for many peripheral devices.

There had been different versions of Windows OS, while most of them were successful,few of them were disaster for the company. The most recent version is Windows 11, whichis not yet released for general users but its developer build is released for windows insiderusers.

2.The next-gen Windows

The vision of Microsoft chairman and CEO Satya Nadella for Windows 11 is to make it‘the center of our ecosystem’. And we can actually see his vision with the massive redesignand new features that Windows 11 offers.


“But if you have big ideas you have to use big words to express them, haven't you?”- L.M. Montgomery

Fresh and new design

The first big change which can be seen is the new design of taskbar, start menuand icons! Windows 11 comes with a refreshing look. After upgrading to the newWindows OS, users will notice the Start menu at the center and rounded corners onmenus. You will also see all the default icons such as Edge and File Explorer to thecenter. You do get the option to change the position of these apps and move theStart button to its original place. The updated Start menu now doesn’t offer any Live Tiles that you might have seenin Windows 10, instead, you will notice some recommended apps at the bottom.Microsoft has added a dedicated search button as well, so that users can search fortheir favorite apps and preloaded functions. Apart from this Explorer and thesettings app also got a fresh look. This time the UI is more like glass and therounded corners just adds more to the effect. These design changes make it lookmore modern and refreshing.

Android apps can now run on windows!

Microsoft is bringing Android apps to Windows for the first time. Yes, you read itright, Android apps on your windows device! Starting later this year, people willnotice Android apps in the Microsoft Store and will be able to download themthrough the Amazon Appstore. So, we finally will say farewell to the androidemulators which we used to run android apps on our windows pc. What’s moreinteresting to note is that these android apps will run natively on Windows 11! Withthe help of Intel's Bridge technology, a runtime post-compiler will enable theseandroid applications to run natively on x86-based devices, including running thoseapplications on Windows. Well this will surely create problems for Chromebooksand Google’s Chrome OS. It would be very interesting to see what will be thereaction of Google to this.

Run Linux CLI apps and GUI also on Windows

Running Linux applications on a windows device is quite resource heavy task if youare considering using a virtual machine. Well Windows Subsystem for Linux orWSL solves this problem of ours. The Windows Subsystem for Linux letsdevelopers run a GNU/Linux environment, including most command-line tools,utilities, and applications, directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead ofa traditional virtual machine or dual boot setup. Actually, WSL is not a Windows 11thing. If you want to give it a try, you can just use it on your Windows 10 device too.


“An idea is something you have; an ideology is something that has you”- Morris Berman

Better multitasking experience

Windows 11 also brings new Snap Layouts, Snap Groups and Desktops to offer abetter way to multitask. These are new features designed to help us to organize ourwindows and optimize our screen real estate so we can see what we need just theway we want in a layout that’s visually clean. Users will also be able to createseparate Desktops and customize them to their liking. For example, you can have aDesktop for work, gaming or college.

Widgets

Windows 11 offers updated widgets that can slide over your desktop to show younews, weather, calendar, to-do list and your recent photos. You will also be able toview the widgets on full-screen in case you want to see everything at once. Userscan add or remove widgets anytime they want.

3. Conclusion

Personally, I love how Windows 10 looks and performs but after hearing about thesefeatures and changes to UI on 24th June event, I got super excited! I mean it’s great. Fewdays later, Microsoft released the insider build of Windows 11 on dev channel of WindowsInsider updates. I am currently using Windows 11 on a 7-year-old laptop and I can tell youwithout hesitation that it works great given that it’s an insider build (kind of beta but moreunstable).

Windows 11 gives a new hope to the Windows OS family and after its release I amdefinitely sure that it will dominate the market just how like Windows XP, 7 and 10 did.

Big data analytics is the often-complex process of examining big data to uncoverinformation such as hidden patterns, correlations, market trends and customer preferencesthat can help organizations make informed business decisions. On a broad scale, data analytics technologies and techniques give organizations a wayto analyze data sets and gather new information. Business intelligence (BI) queries answerbasic questions about business operations and performance. Big data analytics is a form of advanced analytics, which involve complex applicationswith elements such as predictive models, statistical algorithms and what-if analysispowered by analytics systems.


"An Idea Is Salvation By Imagination." – Frank Lloyd Wright

Big Data Analytics

Big Data Analytics has been there in the market for quite some time now. More andmore businesses are adopting it to go beyond the traditional ways of data storage andprocessing.

New trends such as X-Analytics are being used to find solutions to challenges,including climate change, disease prevention and wildlife protection.

Big Data also gives us interesting trends like Decision Intelligence which provides aframework to help data engineers to design, model, execute and monitor decision modelsand processes in the context of business outcomes and behaviour. In fact, by 2023, morethan 33% of large organizations will have analysts practising decision intelligence.

Cost reduction. Big data technologies such as Hadoopand cloud-based analyticsbring significant cost advantages when it comes to storing large amounts of data – plusthey can identify more efficient ways of doing business. Faster, better decision making. With the speed of Hadoop and in-memory analytics,combined with the ability to analyze new sources of data, businesses are able toanalyze information immediately – and make decisions based on what they’ve learned. New products and services. With the ability to gauge customer needs andsatisfaction through analytics comes the power to give customers what they want.Davenport points out that with big data analytics, more companies are creating newproducts to meet customers’ needs.

Big data analytics helps organizations harness their data and use it to identify newopportunities. That, in turn, leads to smarter business moves, more efficient operations,higher profits and happier customers. In his report Big Data in Big Companies, IIA Directorof Research Tom Davenport interviewed more than 50 businesses to understand how theyused big data. He found they got value in the following ways:

Why is big data analytics important


"The wise only possess ideas; the great part of mankind are possessed by them." – Samual Taylor Coleridge

Hadoop, which is an open source framework for storing and processing big data sets.Hadoop can handle large amounts of structured and unstructured data.Predictive analytics hardware and software, which process large amounts ofcomplex data, and use machine learning and statistical algorithms to make predictionsabout future event outcomes. Organizations use predictive analytics tools for frauddetection, marketing, risk assessment and operations.Stream analytics tools, whichare used to filter, aggregate and analyze big data thatmay be stored in many different formats or platforms.Distributed storage data, which is replicated, generally on a non-relational database.This can be as a measure against independent node failures, lost or corrupted big data,or to provide low-latency access.NoSQL databases, which are non-relational data management systems that are usefulwhen working with large sets of distributed data. They do not requirea fixed schema,which makes them ideal for raw and unstructured data.A data lake is a large storage repository that holds native-format raw data until it isneeded. Data lakes use a flat architecture.A data warehouse, which is a repository that stores large amounts of data collected bydifferent sources. Data warehouses typically store data using predefined schemas.Knowledge discovery/big data mining tools, which enable businesses to mine largeamounts of structured and unstructured big data.In-memory data fabric, which distributes large amounts of data across systemmemory resources. This helps provide low latency for data access and processing.Data virtualization, which enables data access without technical restrictions.Data integration software, which enables big data to be streamlined across differentplatforms, including Apache, Hadoop, MongoDB and Amazon EMR.Data quality software, which cleanses and enriches large data sets.Data preprocessing software, which prepares data for further analysis. Data isformatted and unstructured data is cleansed.Spark, which is an open source cluster computing framework used for batch andstream data processing.

"The value of an idea has nothing whatever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it." – Oscar Wilde

Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics has become a buzzword in today’s world of Science. About one ortwo decades ago, people saw biology and computer science as two entirely different fields.One would learn about living beings and their functions whereas the other would learnabout computers and underlying theories. However, at present, there seems to be a mereseparation between the two fields and this new field, bioinformatics, has emerged as acombination of both Computer Science and Biology.

What is Bioinformatics?

Bio + informatics = Bioinformatics

According to Wikipedia,

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that develops methods and software toolsfor understanding biological data. As an interdisciplinary field of science, bioinformaticscombines computer science, statistics, mathematics, and engineering to analyze andinterpret biological data. Various biological analyses result in exponential amounts of biological data and itbecomes very hard to analyze them using manual means. This is where Computer Sciencecomes to the rescue. Various computational techniques are used to analyze hunks ofbiological data more accurately and efficiently by means of automated processes. Hence,bioinformatics can be considered as a field of data science for solving problems in biologyand medicine.


"Neither man nor nation can exist without a sublime idea." – Fyodor Dostoyevsky

A major application of bioinformatics can be found in the fields of precision medicineand preventive medicine. Precision medicine consists of health care techniquescustomized for individual patients, including treatments and practices. Rather than treatingor curing diseases, precision medicine focuses of developing measures to preventdiseases. Some of the diseases being focused are influenza, cancer, heart disease anddiabetes.

Bioinformatics has become an inter-disciplinary science and if you are a biologist, youwill find that having knowledge in bioinformatics can benefit you immensely with yourexperiments and research.

Researches are being carried out to identify genetic alterations in patients allowingscientists to come up with better treatments and even possible measures of prevention.Certain types of cancer, being caused by such genetic alterations can be identifiedbeforehand and can be treated before the conditions get worse. You can read more aboutthe role of bioinformatics in cancer treatment at National Cancer Institute.

Why Learn and Apply Bioinformatics?

Before getting deep in to the subject, as the starting steps, you will have tolearn a little bit about biology; genetics and genomics to be specific. This willinclude studying about genes, DNA, RNA, protein structures, various synthesisprocesses etc.

Next, you will have to study about biological sequences (for example, sequencesfound in DNA, RNA and proteins) and techniques to discover and analyze various patternsand informative sites in them. You will come across various algorithms used by differenttechniques. Also, you will get the chance to use various machine learning and datamining techniques such as hidden Markov models, neural networks and clustering. Since you will be dealing with large amounts of data, it is crucial to have a goodunderstanding in statistics as you have to analyze data according to specificrequirements.Of course you will need good programming skills. R, Python, and Bash arethe most commonly used programming languages in biological data analyses. Decidingwhich one to start with depends on your goals. You can use other languages such asC/C++ and Java as well.

Why Learn and Apply Bioinformatics?

After having the basic understanding about the fundamental concepts, youcan explore other areas such structural bioinformatics, systems biology andbiological networks.

The human being is a fascinating creature and its genome is even morefascinating. The entire genome being stored in a DNA molecule is mind-blowing as how it is possible to encode such huge amounts of data in a singleminute entity and decode them precisely to create unique human beings withtheir own unique characters. However, certain alterations in gene expressioncan cause fatal genetic diseases. Healthcare ecosystems require measures toidentify such diseases and provide treatment and preventive measures to helpsave human lives.

Bioinformatics has proven to possess great potential to identify diseasesbeforehand, determine treatment and help make human lives better. With theinspiration and knowledge of computer science, fields such as genetechnology, medicine and healthcare can evolve from curing individual patientsto healing entire populations.

College Life….I finally started my new journey,With all new faces around me,With all fresh thoughts of mind,

I finally started my new beginning,Yeah !!! It was a college life…

Inside me, there was thousands of emotions,As I enter very first time on my college campus,I started walking around …just enjoying the view

How I tell you , how it was feeling…Suddenly someone approaches me,

Starts talking and how became best friend…How I tell you, it was something magical,

In the air of the college…I’m just excited that I am spending...My careers 4 beautiful years here…I am making my new identity here,

With a lot of fun,With a lot of friends,

Learning something new day by day…Yeah !!! It was a college life…

Hurting myself has become a habit nowThe scars on my wristAre a representation

Of the cracks in my heartMy heart is a haunted house

The doors are lockedThe windows are shattered

The wind and rain keeps dragging in sorrowThe ghosts of my past haunt me

The worries of the future not so far behindI wish I wasn't so damn sensitive

But I remember every scarEvery scream

Everytime you called me worthlessIn my house of chaos and longing

Only your voice echoesI am more you than me

I am less than what you want me to beI am never enough

And always too muchOr too less

I always wished to shatter into a million piecesBut now

Now that it's finally happenedI don't understand what to do

Every piece screamsEverything hurts

The present is a curseI am barely alive

And I really wish I wasn't......-DEVANSHI SONARA
