India is moving towards a faster decade

With the introduction of 5G in Hyderabad and Bangalore, India has been able to get into the era of 5G. It is going to be a major change in the technological advancement in India. 

On the network front, the trials are still going on for 5G in some other parts of our country. There will be an introduction of 5G in the rest of the country also. The introduction will happen very soon. The telcos are currently busy giving the final ok to the network performance for a better experience for the public. 

Among all this, companies like BSNL have not been able to launch even 4G in our country. As the latest development, the contract has been given to TCS for the installation of the towers and the technology which will be taking care of the entire system. It will be the biggest order for a home-grown technical implementation in India. 

Now, the next phase for BSNL will be to launch the 5G services along with 4G as soon as possible. For that, the work is going on. It is expected that BSNL will launch 4G by December or January and 5G will be rolled out by August next year.

On the private telcos front, Jio is the one which has launched 5G in Hyderabad and Bangalore. Airtel is also working hard to launch the latest 5G network in the market. 

In the field of internet-related technology and especially equipment, there are some companies which are considered the world leader. The companies are Nokia, Ericsson and Huawei.

So, if India becomes successful in developing the technology for implementing such revolutions in a country like India. Then, India will be one of the few countries that have been able to implement indigenous built technology in the country.

For those, who are not in touch with such development, the private telcos are planning to launch the services in the metro cities at first. After that, the rest of the country will be able to experience it. 

In case of advantages, 5G has better speeds than 4G. The network also provides a greater number of devices to be connected. The new network will also provide better stability than the previous generations.

These new implementations will also likely increase job opportunities in the tech field.

The new launch will also initiate more locally made technologies in the future. In recent times, even Tata has been able to get the opportunity to make iPhones in India.

There is also an initiative which will allow some companies to manufacture chips in our country. It is necessary as there is a shortage of chips in India. All of these changes will surely improve the scenario of the tech world in India.  There will also be some challenges to the implementation that the companies will have to tackle. It will also reveal some underlying concerns regarding the networks and the possible issues that the beta users will generally face during the trials. All of these factors will slowly disappear. Now, we will see how the 5G changes the face of our country. 

Cyber Security

Cyber Security is the practice of identifying the vulnerabilities and threats associated with digital systems and mitigating these risks. The term “cyber” refers to a nickname for an internet-connected computer or any other device that uses a processor, input/output and networking connections. The common threats include: viruses, worms, trojans and malware. A related term is cyber warfare which is the use of cyber tools in warfare to achieve objectives that would not be possible by using physical means such as bombs or missiles. The role of cyber security professionals is to protect critical systems and information. The main goal of cyber security is to prevent hackers from gaining access to information or using nefarious actions that would put the users’ information at risk.cyber security important because the government, military, law enforcement, and private industry use many critical resources that could be negatively affected by cyber attacks. Many of these systems are financial, such as banks, credit cards, ATMs, stock markets and networks. Government agencies use software to manage the US budget system and the military uses software to track troop movement. Because of these vital uses, cyber attacks could cripple important services or even destroy the country’s financial security.In order for companies to operate securely in today’s technological world they need to implement cyber security protections. These protections include firewall protection, anti-virus programs, encryption codes that keep hackers from easily accessing sensitive data and data backup systems in case any security breach occurs that causes damage to systems or information.

A major concern to cyber security is providing more efficient support to better protect against cyber related activities. This means an organization must have the information available to help identify possible threats including understanding what possible methods hackers may use to gain access, and how the organization can prepare for any potential attacks.
Cyber security is a constantly growing area of study and research. Some of the most recent research being done is focused on cyber security in cyber space. The purpose of this paper will be to analyze if a previous study found in 2012 correctly identified computers within an organization as well as their movement throughout the network. There are two main findings that are sought out which were: 1) how computers move across networks (e.g. LAN, WAN, etc.), and 2) how computers might behave in a network. The assumption is that computers within an organization move between locations (e.g., building or branch offices) and they may change their location(s). Also, the behavior of a computer can be tracked as observed (e.g., its IP address changes from one to another, or its Whois information changes from one domain name service provider to another).

Cyber security offers a variety of career paths depending on the level of experience you have and your area of expertise. You can be an analyst/engineer, network administrator, programmer, or data analyst and many more other positions available depending on your area of interest and experience. Some jobs a required while others are possible as long as it relates to your field in the security field such as computer science or finance. If you’re looking for a career that will pay well, then cyber security is the right choice for you because it’s relatively new and will only continue to grow.

“Security used to be an inconvenience sometimes, but now it’s a necessity all the time.”

Impact of Social Media on Youth.

Social media is an plateform which is build that facilitates the users to create content and sharing of information, ideas, interests and different contents ,through virtual communities and networks technology.

Over the last two decades, social media has gained tremendous growth and fame. Despite the fact that almost everyone in the world is connected to at least one social media platform, youth and teens are the ones who who are using social media and are becoming so socially hampered that they even interfere their lives with social media. According to researchers, they have found that these different social media plateforms have a profound impact on the lives of our youth in society in terms of morality, behavior, and even education.

The use of social media has both negative and positive impacts on our youth today. The positive effects of social media on young people today is keeping up to date with what’s happening around the world and being able to network and stay connected with classmates and friends without physical meetings. For example, people in one city can connect and interact with friends in other cities and neighborhoods, bridging the gap between them. In addition, social media platforms allow young people to create pages and groups based on their profession, beliefs, and other aspects of life, creating more connections and more opportunities in their respective fields. This could even create more employment opportunities for unemployed youth.

According to a BBC News report, social media sites appear to continue to connect and inform more people, but it’s also causing social isolation among youths as it reduces the number of face-to-face interactions between young people, as they usually spend most of their time on these online social platforms. Analysis of many studies by various scientists has shown that social isolation can have a variety of effects on youth’s physical, emotional, mental and psychological estate which can create different problems in them. This, in turn, can lead to depression, anxiety, and many other problems. Also, using short forms and abbreviations can lead to misspellings and misuse of words and tenses. This has a direct impact on the student’s language skills and tends to adversely affect the student as it leads to poor language performance.

Also, young teens under the age of 18 can be exposed to online content that may not be appropriate for their age. Social media often introduce these teens to pornographic content which may be shared on online social groups and this may mislead them . The morals of these teenagers are also manipulated because they are granted access to immoral literature and video. This can harm their phycology of seeing things differently in life.

The social media can be used effectively by youth as long hours on social media can be devoted to productive activities that enable people to grow, earn a living, and be educated, such as using online tutorials and online research materials.
Social media may harm ones creativity and also can reduces the productivity of teens by chatting for long periods on social media sites . This may cause young people to not be independent, and rely on the help from others . Social media also provides a great platform for cyber theft and bullying. This increases the chances of personal information theft and incidents. This poses a lot of risk to young people as their personal information can be stolen because they are stored in places they do not know or where security is unknown or suspicious.

At last, social media opens a communication channel for young people and has many benefits. This includes the development of oneself and opening to wide range of social networks that promote opportunities and cultural abilities. However, it is very important that youth should use different social platforms carefully to avoid being victimized by cybercriminals and using it in limit so that it may not harm their mental and phycology abilities.

The negative impact of Television and Internet on Children

Children are being negatively impacted because of exposure to tv and internet. Today kids spend more time watching tv or on phone which tends to slow down thier metabolism rate. Infact browsing stuffs online to playing games all day can make  them dull and unproductive. Spending insignificant amount of time on tv and internet can make children suffer from lack of sleep and cause serious health problems. Henceforth, a healthy balance and strict timetable needs to be devised by parents which should restrict the amount of time a child spends on tv and internet. For instance, a child can watch educational videos on youtube which can help them to understand their lessons better or can watch news on tv to get equipped with current affairs apart from just playing games or watching cartoons. Limiting the amount of time being spent on tv and internet, parents can involve their children in other healthy activities such as practising yoga or taking up a sport or say learning a new musical instrument. That way a child can do better not only in his academics but can also excel in other creative artforms

A  Private IP addresses are a secure one that is connected Private Network and every devices that is connected to this Private Network is assigned a unique IP address that is assigned by the Internet Service Provider.  All Mobile devices, Computer, and Internet of Things that are connected to this private network are assigned a unique string number to the devices.

Public IP addresses

A Public IP addresses is the main address that is related to your network, as stated above that the IP address are assigned by the Internet Service Provider, the Public IP address is also assigned by the Internet Service Provider, The Internet Service Provider has a large amount of IP addresses that are stored and assigned to the customer. The public IP address is the address that  devices that are outside the network use to identify the network.

The Public IP addresses are further classified into two types they are:

  1. Dynamic
  2. Static

Dynamic IP addresses

                The Dynamic  IP address  are the IP address that changes very frequently, so the Internet  Service Providers  purchase a very huge amount of IP addresses , they assign it mechanically to the customer . This frequently changing the IP address helps the customer not to make the security actions. The frequently changing IP address won’t let the hacks to track or pool your data.

 Static IP addresses

The Static IP addresses is the contradictory to the Dynamic IP address, it remain fixed. The IP address remains fixed when it is assigned by the Internet Service Provider.  The mostly many person and business man don’t   choose static because it is risk of getting easily track, but most business which are trying host her own website server choose Static IP address so it will easier  for the customer to find them.

                The IP address can be protect by 2 ways that are using proxy and the other one is use of Virtual Private Network.   A proxy server acts as a intermediary between the internet server and your internet service providers, when you visit any website it will show the proxy IP address not yours. 

Where to find IP address is Device?

                The IP address set up in every device that is connected to the Internet, but the steps or direction is different in different devices. Some of device direction is given below:

In Window or any other Personal Computer

  1. Go to the Start Menu

5 Scariest Creepypastas that are creeping around the internet!

 

This is an image of 5 creepiest creepy pastas creeping around the internet!

Creepypastas are stories or lores that have made it to the world of internet and have become internet lores. Many of these originate from legends, mysteries, and unexplained occurrences that are passed on among generations or shared amidst people on a large basis. It’s a delight and a hair-raising feeling to read them back to back in a single place. And that’s why we bring to you this list of scariest creepypastas that are wandering around the internet. Waiting for you to read!

1.Slender Man

This Slender Man was pushed into the world of the internet based on an urban legend. It stated that in the woods amidst the dense fog, there lived a slender figure who laid in wait for preying on unsuspecting children. He possessed superficially long limbs and wore a suit. 

As if being in the woods and becoming a part of scary campfire stories weren’t enough. He started inhabiting the minds of people. Some were terrified of him while the others became obsessed with him. Murders and crimes were committed in his name as offenders claimed that he asked them to do so! 

You can experience the fear he induces by watching the sinister movie series. If you dare!

2. Robert the Doll

This is an image of Robert the Doll


Creepypastas are only limited to some of the stories surrounding it. Otherwise the doll does exist in reality! The doll was gifted to an artist named Robert Eugine Otto during the late 19th or early 20th century. It was said to have been cursed by Robert’s family servant before it was given to him. He named the doll after him and his neighbors claimed to have seen the doll standing eerily by his window, staring at them! 

Countless supernatural occurrences surrounded the doll in the coming ages. Today the doll rests in a museum and it is best for people to leave it alone. You can watch the 2014 movie Annabelle to get a taste of what living with Robert would be like!

3. The Russian Sleep experiment

This is an image of Russian sleep experiment.


After world war 2, five prisoners were shut inside a room filled with gas that would prevent them from falling asleep. All was well for a few days, at least in comparison to what comes later. As a week passed by, the prisoners were slowly going insane. Another week passed and they started committing acts of unthinkable horror! Upon the third week, 2 of them were dead! 30 days later when the experimenters went to check on the remaining prisoners, or what was left of them, was beyond recognition. They were subjected to unimaginable levels of abuse inflicted by each other!

The story goes into gory details that have been omitted for the squeamish ones among you readers. With no supernatural elements and simply evil intentions of some deranged humans. This creepypasta is effectively one among the scariest on the internet!

4. Jeff the killer

This creepypasta is well known for the image it is represented by. Picture this, a sore white face, with a bloody grin and lidless green eyes! This is what Jeff looks like. If you are reminded of the Joker, Jeff also has a backstory for his appearance like the Joker. Some say that Jeff was involved in a fire accident that burnt his face severely and tore off his eyelids. While the others say that he was involved in a chemical accident that affected his face and drove him insane. Whatever the truth may be, both the iterations of his backstory are scary! 

Jeff is said to have killed his entire family after his accident and took of into the woods, only to be hiding in people’s closets and asking them to go to sleep, before he murders them too. 

5. Amora Petrova 

Amora Patrova was a skating enthusiast who googled her name and found a wikipedia page about her. Apparently the page had a lot of nice things to say about her which was beyond the truth. But slowly everything mentioned in the page began to happen! Amora became a very successful and renowned skater in America, just like the page suggested. However, that wasn’t enough for her and she tried to alter the pager by adding a more prestigious title in the field of skating to her name. 

What follows later will justify the reason why I referred to her in past tense! Amora died a traumatic death, stripped off all the accolades she had earned. If this doesn’t teach you to be careful what you wish for, nothing else will.

If these creepypastas don’t keep you awake, nothing else will!

Twitter Testing to Flag ‘Misleading’ Content
