What Do You Think The Next 20 Years Will Be Like In The Field Of Information Technology?

I believe nothing is impossible when it comes to technology. As rightly quoted “If we did all the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves” (Thomas A. Edison).
I believe nothing is impossible when it comes to technology. As rightly quoted “If we did all the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves” (Thomas A. Edison). In the 90’s people argued that some inventions we now have today were impossible and regarded most of the discussions as fictions, but it’s being proven daily that in the next 20 years all human function might be dependent on Information Technology, except the world ends before then. I believe that the mind of man have not fully used or actualized the peak of its capacity.
Without the conception of an abstract idea, there won’t be a tangible output. It all starts from the mind, and believe you me, anything the mind can conceive is possible. I still stand on the premise that all things are possible to them that BELIEVE. Another important factor to note having studied many great men in the Industry is that they started the journey without knowing the actual end but with strong belief/faith that the dream and vision is worth millions.
Next 20 year will be revolutionary because i’m thinking of a scenario where there won’t be a need for a cell phone, but all communication channels will be in form of chips or signals implanted in the human mind. For example, when Mr. A wants to call Mr. B, he thinks Mr. B and Mr. B intuitively knows that he has a call by an inward vibration within the human mind. The phone discussion therefore is made by a taught process involving the persons in question, whereby the system having measured the taught pattern and knowing exactly what each person thinks conveys the message. We are seeing the signs already whereby a chip planted in a human can be used for financial transactions, and without the chip, there won’t be successful businesses.
The question to answer now is!!
- Do we want this?
- Do we need this?
- What are the positive effects?
- What are the negative effects?
- What does it show us?
- How can we migrate to that future?
Many Bible scholars have condemned the use technology for human advancement and i’m not of the opinion that they’re wrong because everybody is entitled to his/her opinion, but the fact still remains the fact: they can’t change the future, rather people can change themselves, the way they perceive the world and there perspectives so that they can be accepted of God, because it is clearly recorded in the book of Revelation as one of the signs of end time,
Truth be told, this time is printed in the holy book (Bible). We have so many signs in regard to the end time, and I believe we’re in critical times where everybody clings to their God or gods as the case maybe.
As I continue my discussion, I vividly see a world whereby there won’t be any need for physically operating laptop machines. Because history have taught me a lesson and that is never to doubt the possibility of anything. I remember the days of MainFrame Computers when a computer is as large as a room. We went to the era of Minicomputer where computers were still large but with considerable reduction in size. We went to Desktop, Laptop, and Handheld era. Now what do you think the next in-line will be?? We now see some handheld computers that are slim like the broom. I tell you the truth and I believe it 100% that the era of Airtop computer is coming where there won’t be need to hold the computers with physical hands. The computer can be held up by a force that is greater than the Magnetic force. We normally believe that “what goes up must surely come down” but, Scientists went back to work to explore the opportunity of making what goes up to stay up, a technology I believe was used by the people exploring the moon.
Next 20 year will be revolutionary because i’m thinking of a scenario where there won’t be a need for a cell phone, but all communication channels will be in form of chips or signals implanted in the human mind. For example, when Mr. A wants to call Mr. B, he thinks Mr. B and Mr. B intuitively knows that he has a call by an inward vibration within the human mind. The discussion therefore is made by the taught in the humans having measured the taught pattern and knowing exactly what one is thinking to get the message.
It’s still a question in my heart and I want sincere and intuitive answers…
What do you think the next 20 years will be like? I need answers from every works of life and not just Technology… You can base your answer on Religion, Values, Medicine, inventions as the case maybe…

Facebook is experimenting with prompts that ask users whether they are concerned that a friend is ‘becoming an extremist.’

EditorIn the United States, some Facebook (FB) users are receiving a prompt asking if they are concerned that someone they know is becoming radical. Others are being alerted about the possibility of being exposed to extremist information.
It’s all part of a test that Facebook is conducting as part of its Redirect Initiative, which tries to tackle violent extremism.
This experiment is part of a wider project to see how we can provide tools and help to people on Facebook who have interacted with or been exposed to extremist content, or who know someone who is.
“Are you concerned that someone you know is becoming an extremist?” one of the notifications reads, a screen grab of which went viral on social media Thursday.
According to a screenshot shared on social media, the alert stated, “We care about avoiding extremism on Facebook.” “Others in your situation have gotten discreet help,” she says.
The user is then directed to a support page by the alert.
Another alert reads, “Violent groups try to use your anger and disillusionment.” “You have the ability to protect yourself and others right now.”
The user is also redirected to a help page as a result of the notice.
Facebook is sending users to a range of resources, including Life After Hate, an advocacy group that helps people quit violent far-right movements.
Over the last few years, Facebook has been blasted by detractors for failing to take sufficient steps to combat extremist content on its platform. For example, in 2020, the firm was chastised for failing to take down a militia group’s Facebook page, which encouraged armed residents to go to the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The company has also committed to do a better job of preventing the spread of false information and conspiracy theories. In May, Facebook’s independent oversight board encouraged the corporation to look into the role of its platform in the January 6 uprising.

Get Financial assistance through the Bold.org Scholarship for US Universities
Published

EditorTuition waivers or scholarships are financial assistance incentives intended to help students pay for an undergraduate or graduate degree. A scholarship is only just a one-time test. Other school scholarships are annual and provide money per semester or school year for the students. These grants are special from student loans because they don’t have to be paid back.
Students will earn the money in their name directly as verification. In other instances, the money is donated to the school for the student. The student would then pay the school in those cases for the difference on any money owed for tuition , fees, room , and board. If the scholarships and other forms of financial aid are adequate to cover the direct costs of education, the applicant may be refunded the excess money.

The Impact of Technology in Boosting Education

EditorThe COVID-19 situation has shaped the global education system. Technology has affected our lives in almost every way. One of the most important revolutionary changes technology has made is with education. Classrooms now have smart-boards, students have tablets accessible as learning tools, and technology today makes distance learning and acquiring a degree easier than ever.
Universities like NC IUL is one of the few among many offering online degree acquisitions that are equally as accredited as the traditional, offline ones. Technology continuously improves the way we learn and the speed at which we can access huge amounts of information. Here is a quick overview of how technology has affected education and how it might be in the nearest future.
One of the most important aspects of technology in education has been its ability to create a global platform. Education with the help of technology has crossed borders globally and with a seamless transition. Online courses can be accessed by students across the world and people are able to have video conferences to offer a personalized teaching experience. Assessments are now all electronic and web based, making it easier for online students to receive results fast and effectively.
Remember carrying stacks of textbooks from class to class? Well, you can forget that now because textbooks are becoming digital. Students can have access to all of their learning materials in PDF files or online through their educational institutions. These eBooks make studying more affordable and accessible to students, increasing their ability to actually use the materials. This has been a huge shift from the reliance on paper-based books and will continue to revolutionize the way we learn.
You may not think of video games as a learning tool at first, but many of them have been designed to help students in many instances. Video games can help stimulate the mind to help with problem-solving skills by developing them to be more educationally goal-oriented. Even video games that are not educational on the surface may help us learn and gather information. This also goes along with mobile games. Many students have access to a smart device and can solve puzzles or learn on the go. Multimedia tools are also being used to enhance the educational experience. Videos and animation have created learning tools for the more visually oriented students making it more fun and engaging for those who can learn better this way.
Students are definitely becoming more engaged with technology tools because it is what they have grown up with. If you think about how most students in universities have been raised surrounded by video games, new gadgets, and the Internet, then you can understand how important technology has become for education. Students can access more information quicker from anywhere they might be with the aid of technological tools. What this shows is that the progression will be positive and help globalize education by creating a common language: new technology. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for our educational systems and how it will adapt to this encouraging trend.
