The Rise of Jantar Mantar
Today I was thinking about a very popular thing: Jantar Mantar, not in context to the real jantar mantar but related to
something new to which we can relate in today’s era. But before
discussing about a thing I always try to analyse its history. So let us grab a
quick recap of Jantar Mantar.
We popularly recognize jantar mantar as place of doing dharna,
historical piece located in delhi, but jantar mantar has great history
(scientific and astronomical) attached to it.
There are 5 Jantar Mantar Monuments in India located in New
Delhi, Jaipur, Varanasi, Mathura, Ujjain. Largest one is in Jaipur. The jantars have names like Samrat Yantra, Jai Prakash, Ram Yantra and
Niyati Chakra, each of which are used to for various astronomical calculations. These astronomical observatories were built Sawai Jai Singh II in around 1724.

But why these observatories
were built? As History is all about interpretation, so according to me there is
only reason to build these and that is Curiosity.
It is curiosity of human mind which led to creation of these tools to measure
the universal acts.
Anyways what’s
the present scenario? The Jantar Mantar’s have become a place of doing
protests.
We hear periodic news of protest being conducted there. But no, Jantar Mantar are not just peice of ancient site or place of doing protest. Jantar Mantar is more than this. Jantar mantar is an idea which is helping humans to evolve. The idea which fills future with advancements.
Did not get what i am talking about?
I am talking about the technology we are using and the more advanced tech which we'll be using tomorrow.
Lets me explain. The present tech is mainly based upon two main things:
1. Hardware 2.Software.
Now consider, Jantar as hardware part(Equipment, Tools etc. ) and Mantar as the power behind the hardware i.e the logic, software, science which gives power to the Jantar. So it becomes Jantar and Mantar. This word has nothing relative to my interest but it's an idea in which we live in.
It is really interesting to thing this human evolution with an idea of Jantar And Mantar (The indefinite future).

ROAD TO ENGINEERING
Every year about 14 lakh
students appear for JEE mains. After the ranks are ready they try to get a good
college. This is the moment where students have to choose a college X over Y
and so is the confusion between different branches. Yeah it is right that a
good and reputed college gives you a lot of exposure but the critical factor
which decides your future is the stream chosen by you. Many students don’t even
know what things they are going to study under their chosen stream. They just
follow what other students do. You get a lot of time after your exams to
research about different streams. Many students decide a particular stream on
the basis of its scope. But according to me every stream has an equal scope.
The main factor on which you should opt for a branch is your interest. My
article will give you knowledge about main branches of engineering which will
generate an idea in your mind about what you are going to study in coming four
years.
Computer science
Computer science
Hardware engineering includes designing developing and
testing various computer equipment. It can range from circuit boards and
microprocessors to routers.
Artificial intelligence is a new and interesting sub
discipline which aims at developing programs such as problem solving, decision
making, environmental adaptation, learning and communication found in humans
and animals.
Electronics & communication
There are many sub-fields under it:
1. Signal processing:
It deals with analysis: and manipulation of signals. Signal can either be
analog or digital. It involves modulation, demodulation, amplification and
error checking.

MAGICAL TECH (THE TECHNO PHILOSOPHY)
I
was sitting and thinking in leisure. So I decided to write a new genre of
philosophy – called Techno-philosophy.
Earth
future is going to be magical………“Magical”!!!!!
How??
.:.:.:
WHAT IS MAGIC?
Magic
is the thing that we see or experience without knowing the basic concepts and
steps behind the operation of that thing. Like we see many magicians (say
Dynamo) doing impossible things, what’s the secret behind? They just hide the
basic steps of their performance, so that is why it seems to us like magic.
What are
Magical things?
As
the title say “magical tech”….so what are these magical technologies. These
magical things are your smart-phones, laptops,
TV’s,
smart watches. For you these things might not be magical, as you all are aware of
basic concepts behind their working. But if we bring a person from past (say
form 15th century) by time travel (may be possible in coming future)
and show him a video on smart-phones, so to him watching visuals on piece of
glass may be magical because he is not aware about its working concepts. This
is why I have called these gadgets magical.
Aren't these magical things!
Ancient
technology
Starting
from the past, if we look into the ancient times, we see many magical
phenomenon, like- telepathy, levitation , body transformation, etc. To some of
you, these all might seem as myths. But according to me, these were the 'Self
Tech'. Self Technology means technology developed and built into own mind and
body. To all of us these things might be magical as we are not aware of basic concepts.
But these were the technology available at that time. As we look into the
history, we notice, that in ancient times many almost every tech were built by
meditating on mind and body (like levitation, astral-travel, or telepathy).
Our Magical World.
Now
talking about present gadget technology, everyone is aware of latest
technologies of internet, smart phones etc.
But the invention that changed the
world was computer with user interface
(Built by Steve Jobs and it team apple).
Apple
brought the computers from labs to houses . Now it became very easy for a
person with no skill to operate
computer.
Apple Inc. was first company who brought the concept of mouse, keyboard and user interface.
Internet
– With invention of internet, the world became small, with this now people from
all over the world can interact among others easily. The flow of information
was improved at great extent.
Invention of internet brought digital revolution!
The
third invention that changed the behavior of human interaction , was facebook.
With fb social communication between peoples were improved to huge extent. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg
vision of making world more open and connected seems to be coming true through this social network and internet.org(Thing that allows to search for information and provide basic necessary services for free).
Facebook was first to bring human interaction with society online.
The Future Magic:
I would not be writing much future tech. But I
will be showing you some glimpses of them.:
INTERNET OF BRAINS!
In coming future we would connect to the internet not only through our gadgets but also through our brain!
Microsoft HoloLens!
Launch of this tech will convert our virtual world into real. And the dream of Sci-fi tech will also come into real!
facebook Telepathy! Launch of this tech will convert our virtual world into real. And the dream of Sci-fi tech will also come into real!
In coming future the facebook thing woluld be possible through telepathy kind of tech.
Just think how magical it would be to communicate with others through our brains.
Artificial Intelligence!
This field of research is working in improvement of machine interaction with the world.It's just like giving 5 human senses (or more) to the machine.
Infinite!
These were just the glimpses.There are many invention that are going to change world, and this will continue until infinite is reached!
Please give your feedback in the comments and tell us that how u liked it. If u liked it, then please do share it! And please follow this blog!
