What happens when Objects having the same value as human???

After 13 weeks of Blogging on Globalization and Internet, I realize how important Internet is and we have become more dependent upon it as we move into the digitally connected future. Every "thing" is somehow connected in cyberspace and happens to link up for us when go online.
This video, which I highly recommend you all watching, sums it up nicely:



The video above speaks about how the world is getting smarter because of the existence of internet. INTERNET has made us more to be more creative and made things easier as well convenient. These video emphases on intelligence, knowledge and information.  Google is a search engine which provides information that we need. But do we as the user know how to filter information and knowledge apart. From these video I also realize one day everything we do on the earth, where, what and with who will be informed and gained from the internet. The internet is able to track it. That shows how powerful the tool has become.

I realize how dependent we are towards online after watching the video and how all the things in our daily life are incorporated with the internet. It is a good think we are able to gain knowledge from the internet But I think it is disadvantage because we are getting evolve in it and it takes control of our life. For example Facebook was involved in private issue. I would say I thought Facebook can be privatized and my information’s in need is private but I am wrong. Whatever it is at the end of the day there are some loop hole where the users are able to break in and gain the information.

For me when reading the article by Bleeker, which is the last reading of the week, it scares me that how the world would be when objects becomes citizens and have life just like us. It will start sharing things with us and want to live a life just like us. Nothing be private anymore in our life everything be revealed and circulated by this crazy objects.

I would like to share a Tamil movie which highlights this issue by Tamil industry superhero Rajinikanth in the movie called Enthiran. In this movie we can see how physical object and robot created in lab having the same value as human and how does it impact the mankind value of life. I think it is an interesting movie and would like every one of us to watch it. To have a little idea how things would be when objects are given life and value as human.
You can the full version of the movie with English subtitle online on YouTube. Have fun watching the movie peeps and you will have better understanding.

The Big Fight - Apple Vs Google

The reading this week is about the history of Android and Google is really attention-grabbing I would say. In today’s market we can see there is a battle going on between these two brands. With this new technology both trying to compete with each other to stay ahead in the market with coming out with new technologies and devices to gain their customer and increase their companies revenue.

I would say Apple is a consumer electronics company where else Google is an advertising company. Apple blocks apps that encourage illegal activities automatically and it is done by the App store team.

Apple is "deeply committed" to protecting consumers' privacy, and Apple does not share personally identifying information with third-party vendors without explicit consumer agreement. Apple's management style, on one hand, is as simple as it comes: namely, that when it comes to making any final decisions the buck stops squarely at the desk of one man, and one man alone.... Steve Jobs

This week article focuses on smartphones which are introduced since 1998 and tablets battle. Consumer these days are carried away with the new technologies and devices. Companies and schools are encouraging the use of IPad which will make things easier and faster. I would say the society today is more dependent on all this software and new media these days.

I would say Apple is definitely far superior at creating products that are visually pleasing, and in today’s society, people want stuff that looks good and convenient. It should not be a burden or bulky. Apple have certainly beaten not only Android devices, but basically every other technology devices that exist today in the market. Besides that the competitive nature between Apple and Google is mutually beneficial which a great thing I would say is. Both companies promote each other by just being in competition. These will benefit us because we will have more choices and there be new invention which will make our life much easier.
Have a look peeps at this video. It is indeed a very interesting video regarding the competition of both the devices. Have good day!!
