25 years of the SMS: Does it have a future?

-
Image
The first SMS was sent from a computer to a mobile phone on Dec 3, 1992. SMS has been responsible for revolutionizing the way we communicate with our peers. If you want to simply send information to your contact, all you need to do is fire up the SMS app, type your message in brief and tap the ‘Send’ button. Now, SMS is celebrating 25 years of its existence, looking back at the first one sent on 3rd December 1992. Neil Papworth in 1992 created history when he typed the world’s first SMS and sent it to Vodafone’s Richard Jarvis. The message that he sent read — ‘Merry Christmas’. Unfortunately, technology wasn’t as evolved as it is in 2017, which is why Jarvis couldn’t reply to the message due to the lack of a texting-supported keyboard. These days, SMS is considered one of the lifelines for communicating on the move. There are billions of messages sent across each day, most them being promotions from telemarketers. In fact, certain verification systems for financial in

Apple's new app measures irregular heart rate and helps you!!!!

                Apple's new app measures irregular heart rate and helps you Apple Watch uses a combination of flashing LED lights and light-sensitive photodiodes to calculate heart rate and rhythm. Apple has launched the Apple Heart Study app, a first-of-its-kind research study using Apple Watch’s heart rate sensor to collect data on irregular heart rhythms and notify users who may be experiencing atrial fibrillation (AFib). AFib, the leading cause of stroke, is responsible for approximately 130,000 deaths and 750,000 hospitalizations in the US every year. Many people don’t experience symptoms, so AFib often goes undiagnosed. To calculate heart rate and rhythm, Apple Watch’s sensor uses green LED lights flashing hundreds of times per second and light-sensitive photodiodes to detect the amount of blood flowing through the wrist. The Apple Heart Study app uses this technology to identify an irregular heart rhythm. Apple is partnering with Stanford Medicine to perform the

                "Wonder" movie review: A wholesome film with timely, powerful messages 'Wonder' tells a great story with layers of deep feeling and questions of identity and makes the whole thing feel like a breeze. Director: Stephen Chbosky Cast: Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Jacob Tremblay, Mandy Patinkin, Daveed Diggs and others. Director Chbosky previously gave us the gem 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower', and this time out he allows us to explore the fragility of friendship and family, and the importance of toughness in an individual. The movie ‘Wonder’ has strong messages about kindness, love, appreciating everyone for who they are and true friendship.

15,000 scientists just signed the largest-ever warning about Earth’s destruction                                        There’s no place like home, our warm and watery planet Earth. But we won’t be living here long if humans don’t change their ways, say 15,365 scientists from 185 countries who want your attention. On Nov. 13,  the journal BioScience  published the “World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity: A Second Notice” in four languages—English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The first warning was issued in 1992 when 1,700 members of the Union of Concerned Scientists argued that humans are “on a collision course with nature.” That group, which included numerous Nobel laureates, urged the world to save the Earth from extreme climate change by burning fewer fossil fuels, preserving forests, limiting population growth, and improving food production. “On the twenty-fifth anniversary of their call, we look back at their warning and evaluate the human response,” contempora

Six Principles of Non-Violence

-

            Six Principles of Non-Violence We are not against other people, only what they are doing. Means are ends in the making; nothing good can ultimately result from violence. 1. Respect everyone–including yourself. The more we respect others, the more effectively we can persuade them to change. Never use humiliation as a tool–or accept humiliation from others, as that only degrades everyone. Remember, no one can degrade you without your permission. Healing relationships is the real success in nonviolence, something violence can never achieve. Even in a case of extreme violence, Gandhi felt it was possible to hate the sin, not the sinner. In 1942, when India was held down by the British and fearing a Japanese invasion, he advised his fellow compatriots: “If we were a free country, things could be done nonviolently to prevent the Japanese from entering the country. As it is, nonviolent resistance could commence the moment the Japanese affect a landing.” Thus,
