By 2050 , the world’s population will exceed at least 9 billion and by 2050 the population of India will exceed that of China. By 2050, about 75% of the world population will be living in cities. Then there will be buildings touching the sky and cities will be settled from the ground up. Roads will be built up to several floors. And to move around, the buildings will be connected to the skywalk. By 2050, due to the lack of greenery, concrete forests will be made in its place.  At this time there will be such a shortage of land that many big buildings will be cultivated to meet the needs of food and drink. According to a US report, the sea level will increase by 2050. Due to which many cities and islands situated on the shores of the sea will get absorbed in the water. By 2050, 50% of jobs will also be lost because robots will be doing most of the work at that time. World In 2050 –  Friends, the year of 2050 is almost 30 years away fro...

There’s hardly an answer to the question that isn’t mindblowingly terrifying. The most comforting one, once you know all the options, is that we’re not, but the US government is on top of it:  various “whistleblowers” have recently claimed  that aliens have been smashing their craft into remote corners of the world for the past few decades, but federal officials have been retrieving the remains and covering it all up. It’s a pleasing idea, because it suggests that we are still in the race for the most imposing sentient beings in the galaxy. We haven’t cracked interstellar travel yet, but the beings who  have  are still working with tech that can be brought down by a bit of dust in the rotors. A bit more focused effort, a sprinkle of reverse engineering, and we’ll have our own interstellar armada up and running before any alien civilisations decide to take a serious pop at us. In the meantime, there’s always Will Smith. Unfortunately for my own peace of mind, I...

  By resolution 54/68 of 6 December 1999, the General Assembly proclaimed World Space Week, to celebrate the contributions of space science and technology to the betterment of the human condition. World Space Week is the largest annual space event in the world. the weeks helps build up the workforce of tomorrow by inspiring students; demonstrates visible public support for the space programme; educates the public about space activities; and fosters international cooperation in space outreach and education. Each year a theme is selected by the World Space Week Association Board of Directors in close coordination with the UN Office of Outer Space Affairs. The theme provides broad guidance to World Space Week participants on the content of their programmes. The theme is selected to increase the impact of World Space Week on all humanity further, by using a uniform theme globally. History On 4 October 1957, the launch into outer space of the first human-made Earth satell...

  In the 1940s and 50s reports of "flying saucers" became an American cultural phenomena. Sightings of strange objects in the sky became the raw materials for Hollywood to present visions of potential threats. Posters for films, like Earth vs. the Flying Saucers from 1956 illustrate these fears.  Connected to ongoing ideas about life on the Moon, the canals on Mars, and ideas about Martian Civilizations, flying saucers have come to represent the hopes and fears of the modern world. Are these alleged visitors from other worlds peaceful and benevolent or would they attack and destroy humanity? The destructive power of the Atomic bomb called into question the progressive potential of technology. Fear of the possibilities for destruction in the Cold War-era proved fertile ground for terrestrial anxieties to manifest visions of flying saucers and visitors from other worlds who might be hidden among us in plain sight. If UFOs were visiting our world, where were these extraterrestri...

  The internet is vital to our modern world, enabling everything from endless animal videos and online shopping to deep academic research and remote work. The internet of today is faster than ever. Especially in developed nations, it enables us to watch TV shows and movies on our phones, download massive files in minutes, and collaborate with teammates in real-time via streaming video meetings. That said, some readers may be surprised to learn that other nations around the world have even faster speeds. Even if you’re paying a premium price for a top-tier service, some of the fastest internet speeds in the world may not even be available in your country. According to internet speed specialists Ookla the global average download speed on fixed broadband as of September 2021 was 113.25 Mbps on fixed broadband and 63.15 Mbps on mobile. These are both notable improvements over the scores of 85.73 Mbps broadband and 35.96 Mbps mobile just one year earlier in September 2020. As technology...

  On Feb. 14, 1946, the world’s first general purpose electronic computer was introduced to the world. The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), constructed at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering (now Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Science), was touted as “an amazing machine which applies electronic speeds for the first time to mathematical tasks hitherto too difficult and cumbersome for solution.” While the abilities of this “amazing machine” have since been surpassed by 75 years of progress in electronics and computers, ENIAC’s development was instrumental in sparking a revolution in computer science and electrical engineering that continues to this day. This lasting legacy is thanks in part to a team of women programmers who, despite their significant contributions to ENIAC’s success, were only recently recognized for their efforts. To mark ENIAC’s 75th anniversary, Penn Today delves into the history of the world’s first general purpose computer,...

  Computer chips are a necessary part of every computer. Without computer chips, computers would still be the size of a house or whole room. The invention of the computer chip enabled nearly everyone in the United States to own a computer. Without computer chips you would not be reading this article today. So how do computer chips work exactly? This article will help you understand a little more about the workings of the computer chip and what they do to send you the information that you see everyday on your computer. Each computer chip is constructed of silicon and metal. The computer chip is also called an integrated circuit. Each chip contains many transistors making up a processor. There can be tens of millions of transistors on one chip. These pieces are aligned together to create an electrical signal. Several chips are placed together with different amounts of memory storage space on them in a central processing unit. These CPUs are what makes the powerhouse of the computer. ...

  Electric vehicle (EV) sales are gaining momentum, reaching 18% of global vehicle sales in 2023. As new competitors bring more affordable options and new performance features, the market continues to mature as customers increasingly look to electric options. This graphic ranks the top-selling EVs worldwide as of August 2023, based on data from CleanTechnica. As we can see, Tesla‘s Model Y still holds a comfortable lead over the competition with 772,364 units sold. That’s more than double the sales of the #2 top selling vehicle, Tesla’s Model 3 (364,403) But it’s hard to ignore the rising prevalence of Chinese EVs. The next five best selling EV vehicles are Chinese, including three from BYD. The automaker’s Atto 3 (or Yuan Plus, depending on market), is being sold in various countries including Germany, the UK, Japan, and India. Meanwhile, Chinese automaker GAC Group also had two models of its Aion EV brand make the rankings, with the Aion S selling 160,693 units so far. Regional m...

    The boxy vehicle is Tesla’s first new model since 2020, when it started delivering the Model Y. Yet, Cybertruck’s initial debut predates that moment; Tesla CEO Elon Musk showed off an early version of the pickup at a memorable 2019 event, when it accidentally smashed two windows while attempting to demonstrate Cybertruck’s durability. Here we’ll answer some questions we figured a brave explorer such as yourself might ask (err… type in a search bar) about Tesla’s Cybertruck, including details on the vehicle’s specs, availability and design of the vehicle. The first deliveries, in which about 10 high-profile customers like Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian took possession of the truck, occurred November 30 at the Tesla Gigafactory in Austin. While we have lots of details it’s still unclear if the Cybertruck will kick off the vehicle’s journey toward success, or failure. The Cybertruck is a steel-clad electric pickup truck made by Tesla. According to Musk, the vehicle measures...

  Everyhome have their home WiFi for family. Secure your home WiFi is very important. How many devices in your home are connected to your Wi-Fi network? Between laptops, streaming devices, new iPhones, security cameras and smart speakers, it's possible to have a dozen or more devices connected to your network at any time. Now, think about the information on those devices -- credit card numbers, bank records, login credentials, live camera feeds -- and how accessible that information is if someone gained access to your Wi-Fi network. You want to ensure you're protecting yourself from hackers if your network is ever compromised. A secure home network will help reduce the risk of getting hacked and having someone access your sensitive information. Not only that, it will keep away unwanted or unauthorized users and devices that would slow down your connection or freeload on the internet service you pay for. It's fairly simple to create and maintain a secure home Wi-Fi ne...

There is an ever-increasing need for educational institutions to step up their security and an undeniable prevalence of emergency situations in schools along with the severity of school violence. During school years, one out of every four students reports getting bullied either physically or emotionally. Yet the majority of students bullied in schools do not report it at all. Parents and educators worry a lot about the children that they care for, and many people are too terrified to handle difficult situations. Fortunately, school security systems with modernized technology are made to keep children, school staff members, and visitors safe and secure. Widespread violence has become a global threat, and it leads to school security problems at different grade levels in both the smallest and largest of towns and cities. Therefore, it pays well to take school security seriously. How do school safety and security issues affect school students? In the light of the growing security issues, t...

When you're a new driver, it's generally best to build your confidence gradually by driving on local roads. From there, you can move your way up to highway driving. The prospect of driving on the highway for the first time can be daunting for many new drivers — moving at high speeds, merging into traffic, and changing lanes on the interstate requires constant focus and careful agility, after all. As intimidating as the highway may seem, a little preparation and practice are all you need to become a confident driver. The following highway driving tips will help you stay safe when you hit the highway for the first time, and with every subsequent road trip you take: 1.  Avoid Driving When You’re Tired or Impaired in Any Way Impaired driving is a very real problem both on city streets and highways. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one person dies in an alcohol-impaired driving accident every 50 minutes in the United States. Of course, alcohol isn...

Office security systems are essential for any business or organization, as they help protect against a variety of threats and ensure the safety of employees and assets. Here are some of the key benefits of implementing a security system in the workplace: Deter Crime: A visible office security system, such as cameras or alarms, can deter potential burglars from attempting to break into the office. This can save your business from the costly damages and losses that can result from a break-in. Prevent Unauthorized Access: An access control system, such as key cards or biometric scanners, can prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the office. This can help keep your business assets and sensitive information secure. Ensure Employee Safety: Security systems can also help ensure the safety of your employees. For example, panic buttons and emergency notification systems can help employees quickly alert authorities in the event of a threat or emergency. Overall, office security systems ...

  SpaceX quietly introduced a new Standard Starlink terminal that’s slimmer and simpler than the previous version, with a 10 percent broader field of view and no motor for setting up — instead, it comes with a kickstand; to orient it, you simply move it. A Starlink support page says the kit is available “by invitation only to a small group of early customers in the US.” SpaceX bumped its weather resistance rating up from IP54 to IP67, meaning it should be totally dust-proof and can be submerged in one meter of water for as long as 30 minutes before potential damage. Starlink’s specifications page says it can operate in winds over 60MPH. Speaking of which, the company will sell mounts in case you’d rather secure it in place. It’s otherwise roughly the same size as the previous Standard terminal (now called Standard Actuated). Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt, who posted about the new terminal Friday morning, shared the quick start video for it. The Wi-Fi router has been redesigned and ...

  Users on Reddit and Hacker News are complaining that YouTube seems to have inserted an intentional five-second delay before video pages will load in Mozilla’s Firefox and occasionally some other browsers. YouTube tells The Verge that these users are right about the delay, but the browser has nothing to do with it — it’s part of the company’s efforts to quash ad blockers across all platforms. “In the past week, users using ad blockers may have experienced suboptimal viewing, which included delays in loading, regardless of the browser they are using,” YouTube communications manager Christopher Lawton wrote in an email. Lawton wrote that disabling the ad blocker should resolve the issue, though users “may still experience a temporary delay in loading” until their browser has refreshed. Lawton also said that users will keep seeing issues like this as YouTube’s ad-blocker detection methods improve. The issue was initially reported as targeting Firefox users, but users online have said...

  Newborn babies respond differently to their mother tongue, suggesting that exposure to language in the uterus may provide the foundations for learning. Experiments with newborn babies suggest they can already recognise their mother tongue, hinting that language learning may begin before birth. “We’ve known for a while that fetuses hear towards the end of gestation,” says Judit Gervain at the University of Padua in Italy. “[Newborn babies] can recognise their mother’s voice and prefer it over other female voices, and they can even recognise the language their mother spoke during pregnancy.” To investigate further, Gervain and her colleagues studied the brain activity of 49 babies with French-speaking mothers aged between one and five days old. Each newborn was fitted with a small cap that contained 10 electrodes placed close to regions of the brain linked to speech perception. The team then played recordings that began with 3 minutes of silence, then 7-minute excerpts from the sto...

  One big question is whether the program should expand beyond students already bent on a scientific career to reach the much larger population of students indifferent to science or lacking the opportunity to realize their potential. “It’s an elite program. That’s their brand,” says longtime observer Russell Moore, an integrative physiologist and provost at the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder, one of four U.S. universities that host SSP students every summer. “And it’s a remarkable program for those students.” “But it could also be remarkable for other types of students,” says Moore, who confesses that he “never would have gotten into” SSP as a teenager. “And $200 million opens up a lot of possibilities.” SSP’s newfound wealth comes from Franklin Antonio, a 1969 SSP graduate who co-founded chipmaking giant Qualcomm and died last year at age 69. Deciding how to spend it falls to Frank Steslow, a veteran science museum administrator who became SSP’s chief executive in January. St...

  In a world first, U.K. regulators yesterday approved a therapy that uses the gene-editing technique CRISPR. The approach treats two inherited blood disorders, including sickle cell disease, which afflicts mostly people of African ancestry, by modifying a patient’s blood stem cells in the lab and returning them. In sickle cell disease, a defect in the oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin, found in red blood cells, causes the cells to form a sickled shape that clogs blood vessels, leading to severe pain and sometimes strokes and organ damage. The new treatment from the companies Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics is designed to replace these malfunctioning proteins with working versions encoded by a hemoglobin gene that is normally active in a developing fetus. After harvesting a patient’s blood stem cells, scientists use CRISPR to disable the genetic switch that normally turns off this fetal hemoglobin gene early in development. The cells are then reinfused into the body...

  Robyn Roberts, a 63-year-old grandmother of 33 and great-grandmother of 12, solidified the idea of education as a lifelong pursuit this weekend by receiving a diploma from Southern New Hampshire University. "I have finished something I started that is absolutely amazing, and I feel amazing," Roberts said in an interview with the university that was shared with "Good Morning America." Roberts said the idea to pursue a college degree was spurred by a challenge from her grandson, who told her in high school, "I'll do it if you do it," according to Roberts. The competition then escalated to a GPA contest, a match Roberts said she won. Roberts, who graduated with a degree in business administration, turns 64 next month and plans to attend law school, after which she hopes to provide support to survivors of abuse, according to the university. "64 is the year of new beginnings," she said. "If all goes well, by the time I turn 67, I'll be ...
