Mst of all the equipment we use today have displays. Some time ago, those displays were simply used as protective layers but that is not the case in today's society. © CNET Most of the devices –from our TV's, smartphones all the way to our wristwatches and even some sunglasses– in use today have been digitized in order to provide more efficient and these displays are part of the upgrade that leans towards ensuring a better and noticeably easier user-friendly experience. We are delving into what makes these displays tick! We all love to see Imagine using a device that has only buttons and then using one with only a flat/curved screen. The appeal would most likely be different and will be leaning towards the less mechanical one. Engineers thought of this and our economy today is a great consequence of that thought. Before we begin to talk about the types of displays there are, we need to know a little about their most basic functional unit, the Pixel. ...

It’s night time. We’re all asleep. We enter a trans-dimensional state where we are in a world created by our own minds. We cannot help but watch the events unfold as we seemingly are in no control of what is happening in front of our eyes. It’s almost like we’re in another world. As of now, technological advancement has made this and even more possible to witness with our own physical eyes. It’s truly amazing! 📷: Johann Savalle What is Reality? If I can’t touch you, does that mean you aren’t real? That is not quite true. Reality means much more than just touching or sensing the tangibility of things all around us. When something is real, we communicate with it. This doesn’t mean necessarily touching or talking to it but it could also mean a wide variety of ways we could sense the object. If we could sense an object in any possible way, it is considered real. Hence even if we cannot physically see music or sound, so long as we can sense it through hearing, it is re...

Imagine a world where you could talk to a robot, chat with it, tell it to do something? Oh wait, we already can but not to a level we truly want. The Definition and Concept Computers have been in existence since 1975 (computers with real power that is). Powerful as they are, they become undone when it comes to real life situation. Let me explain. Digital computers are based on binary states of 0s and 1s (or ON and OFF). It can make powerful computations at mind-blowing speeds but that's about it. It can do only what it is programmed to do and nothing else. It has a very rigid predefined set of instructions that directs it to start and complete a task. This could be somewhat limiting! When it comes to real-life situations, the ball game changes as almost nothing is predictable. It requires the ability to observe and take the appropriate actions accordingly. This is where Artificial intelligence (AI) comes into play. Artificial intelligence is a littl...

From the incredibly tiny to the amazingly big, there has been quite a number of theories made to explain the behavior of matter in our world.  During Isaac Newton's time, he released a book titles "Principia" which accurately describes the motion of matter. It is usually referred to as Classical physics. This was used for decades to explain the behavior of matter on most scales and it's still implemented till today. Then come 1905, Albert Einstein, in his radical and creative mind discovered a new way to look at physics of motion. You see, Newton's classical physics describes motion with respect to only one frame of reference which remains constant in every situation but this didn't sound so logical to Einstein so he decided to think outside of the box and what he got from doing that was Special relativity. Now unlike classical physics, special relativity takes into consideration the various frames of references with respect to the observer...

Glorious! Mankind progress that is. We continually strive for greatness in the most courageous way possible. We've come so far and we're not relenting in any known way. Technology is at the frontier of mankind's development as it opens new doors for all other possibilities.  By Jeremy Hsu on December 6, 2018              As we know, we entered what was called "The Space Age" at the launch of the first rocket into orbit. Since then, we've gone to the moon and back and are preparing to go to Mars in the coming years. How is it possible for mankind to have pushed so much in so little time?            Let's move to computers for example. The first computer built by a Charles Babbage normally referred to as the father of the computer. Though it was a milestone needed for the continued survival of mankind, the piece of machinery he invented was extr...
