Mobile Computers changing the way of computing

Mobile Computers refers to the computer devices which are portable and provideuser friendly interaction. Mobile computing involves mobile communication,mobile hardware, and mobile software. The best feature of a mobile computer isits portability, user can take it to his desired place, and can operate it easily.These devices are easy for development field as well as usage field. They do notrequire much power to operate and provide a personal computer like functionality.There are some kinds of mobile computers which are as follows1. PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)These devices are used as information manager. Before smart phones they werewidely used, but after arrival of Smartphone, they become obsolete. First PDAwas developed by Psion (a company) as Organizer II.

2. SmartphoneThese devices are today’s need and can be seen everywhere. These are an en-hanced form of PDAs but provide more functionality, ease of access, easy userinteraction etc.3. Tablet ComputerTablet computer or a Tablet PC is an enhanced version of Smartphone with a sizeof minimum 7” to maximum 11”. These contain a touch screen to operate with.Some of them were used to be operated by a stylus. Now-a-days almost everyTablet PC can be operated without a stylus.

4. Wearable computerWearable computers are miniature electronic devices that are worn by the user onthem. Wearable computers are especially useful for applications that requiremore complex computational support than just hardware coded logics. These can

be taken to everywhere easily. These include smart watches, smart glasses, con-nected T-shirts, smart cameras etc.

Artificial Intelligent Assistants

Artificial Intelligence is the technology in which a computer system is made tothink like humans. It is made intelligent; it is provided humans like logical think-ing to act in different situations.

Following are some artificial intelligent products :1. Apple SiriSiri is an acronym for speech interpretation and recognition software. It is dis-tributed with Apple’s Mobile OS “iOS”. Though it is not developed by AppleInc. but by Siri Inc. but now Apple owns it and hence develops it. This softwareis personal voice assistant and works on user’s voice as input. User just needs tospeak the wish and it performs according to it (under the limitations).

2. Google Now

Google Now is a voice assistant developed by Google Inc. It has also somefunctionality like that of Siri. It performs on user’s voice as input but the signifi-cant difference between Google Now and Siri is that Google Now provides Realtime results. It gives the more close, more current result to the query.

ARM’s “big. Little” architecture will enable power savings in 2014ARM has announced two new Cortex cores, the A53 and A57, which are thefirst to use its new 64-bit v8 architecture. The two processor core designscan be run individually or combined in a configuration that ARM calls big.Little. This configuration allows devices to switch between the powerfulA57 and economical A53 depending on the requirements of the runningtasks. Commercial products such as tablets, Smartphone's, hybrid laptopsand low-power servers has hit markets in 2012 with processors designed byARM partners including applied Micro AMD, Broadcom, Samsung and STMicroelectronics.

The A57 will be ARM’s most powerful core designs yet, with performancetouted as three times higher than that of today’s most powerful models. TheA53 will be the most efficient, delivering performance comparable to to-day’s models while consuming the quarter of the power. Both are designedto be scalable and feature a coherent bus interface to allow heterogeneouscombinations of cores.

AUGUMENTED REALITY

Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generatedsensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to amore general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality ismodified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer.As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perceptionof reality. By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulatedone. Augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context

with environmental elements, such as sports scores on TV during a match.Applications:

1)Archaeology,2)Architecture,3)Art,4)Commerce,5)Education ,

6)Everyday,7)Industrial design,8)Medical,9)Military,10)Navigation .

Wearable computers, the next generation of computers

Wearable computers are miniature electronic devices that are worn by the useron them. These are also known as body-borne computers as these are born bythe bearer on their body. These wearable computers have their benefits as theycan provide a lot of personal computer like functionality. They can tell users thelatest sports results, hot news, deliver weather information, play music andmuch more, with a quite easy User Interface. They need less power, less hard-ware stuff to develop. Some of the latest wearable computer devices are asfollows:

1. Google Glass

Project Glass from Google is a big step in body-borne computing. It is as usualreading glasses, but not having the actual glass in it. It has a small camera at theright end. With this device, you can take photos, shoot videos, share photos, dovideo chats, share posts on social networks, search on web etc.

2. Sony Smart watch

Sony is also selling an Android compatible wrist watch called Sony SmartWatch. When connected to an Android device using Bluetooth, it provides a lotof features such as GPS, pick a call, play music, office solutions such as calen-dar, email etc.

3. Apple’s rumored iWatch

iWatch is a new concept product being developed by Apple Inc. All you need isto put it on your wrist and you’re ready to use music, email, sharing etc.through your watch. Apple iPod nano already has a wristwatch attachmentavailable to convert it to a wearable wristwatch computer.

Gesture based remote control

Compared with the intricacies of voice recognition, gesture recognition is afairly simple idea that is only now making its way into consumer electronics.The idea is to employ a camera (such as a laptop's Webcam) to watch theuser and react to the person's hand signals. Holding your palm out flat wouldindicate "stop," for example, if you're playing a movie or a song. And wav-ing a fist around in the air could double as a pointing system: You would justmove your fist to the right to move the pointer right, and so on.Gesture recognitions system are creeping onto the market now. Toshiba, a

pioneer in this market, has at least one product out that supports an earlyversion of the technology: the Qosmio G55 laptop, which can recognizegestures to control multimedia playback. The company is also experimentingwith a TV version of the technology, which would watch for hand signalsvia a small camera atop the set. Based on my tests, though, the accuracy ofthese systems still needs a lot of work.Gesture recognition is a neat way to pause the DVD on your laptop, but it

probably remains a way off from being sophisticated enough for broad adop-tion. All the same, its successful development would excite tons of interestfrom the "can't find the remote" crowd. Expect to see gesture recognitiontechnology make some great strides over the next few years, with inroadsinto mainstream markets by 2012.

KINDLE

The Amazon Kindle is a series of e-book readers produced by Amazon.com. AmazonKindle devices enable users to shop for, download, browse, and read e-

books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, and other digital media via wireless networking.

The hardware platform, developed by Amazon.com subsidiary Lab126, began as asingle device and now comprises a range of devices – most using an E Ink electronic paper display capable of rendering 16 tones to simulate reading on paper while mini-mizing power consumption.

First generation

Amazon released the Kindle First Generation on November 19, 2007, for US$399. Itsold out in five and a half hours. The device remained out of stock for five monthsuntil late April 2008.It is the only Kindle with expandable memory, via an SD card slot.The device features a 6 inch (diagonal) 4-level grayscale display, with 250 MB ofinternal memory, which can hold approximately 200 non-illustrated titles.Amazon did not sell the Kindle First Generation outside the United States. Plans for alaunch in the UK and other European countries were delayed by problems with signingup suitable wireless network operators.

Second generation

On February 10, 2009, Amazon announced the Kindle 2. It became available for pur-chase on February 23, 2009. The Kindle 2 features a text-to-speech option to read thetext aloud, and 2 GB of internal memory of which 1.4 GB is user-accessible. By Ama-zon's estimates the Kindle 2 can hold about 1500 non-illustrated books. Unlike theKindle First Generation, Kindle 2 does not have a slot for SD memory cards. It wasslimmer than the original Kindle.To promote the new Kindle, author Stephen King made UR, his then-new novella,available exclusively through the Kindle Store. On October 22, 2009, Amazon stoppedselling the original Kindle 2 in favor of the international version it had introducedearlier in the month.

Green Computing

Green computing refers to environmentally sustainable computing or IT. SanMurugesan defines the field of green computing as "the study and practice ofdesigning, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, andassociated subsystems — such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and net-working and communications systems — efficiently and effectively with mini-mal or no impact on the environment." The goals of green computing are simi-lar to green chemistry; reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energyefficiency during the product's lifetime, and promotethe recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste.Many corporate IT department have Green Computing initiatives to reduce theenvironmental impacts of their IT operations. Research continues into key areassuch as making the use of computers as energy-efficient as possible, and de-signing algorithms and systems for efficiency-related computer technologies.

A voluntary labeling program that is designed to promote and recognize en-ergy-efficiency in monitors, climate control equipment, and other technologies.This resulted in the widespread adoption of sleep mode among consumer elec-tronics. Concurrently, the Swedish organization TCO Development launchedthe TCO Certification program to promote low magnetic and electrical emis-sions from CRT- based computer displays; this program was later expanded toinclude criteria on energy consumption, ergonomics, and the use of hazardousmaterials in construction.

Gloves that turn gesturesinto speech

Researchers have developed a setof gloves that turn hand gesturesinto speech using computertechnology, offering hope tomillions of speech-impaired

people to communicate better.The device consists of a set ofsensors, an accelerometer, com-

pass, gyroscope and flex sensorsin the fingers, which translatemovement into signals that acomputer converts into speech.The person wearing the glovesdraws a shape in the air and thatinformation is transmitted tothem via Bluetooth to a smart

phone, which matches the shapeup against a set stored in mem-ory. A match produces a sound.

Internet Censorship in India

It is written in the constitution that freedom of speech is the right of citizens of India. Thismeans that our government cannot and should not be making an attempt to restrict or

penalize speech because of its content or viewpoint.

So, when there is talk of restricting Internet content , we should think , what limits would be placed on those restrictions. Moreover, as electronic media becomes the norm ratherthan the exception, how does reading something on the Internet differ from reading a

book, a magazine, or a printed newspaper? Let’s take a look at printed books. For years,various books have been censored in the schools. The point is that at some point, some“authority” decided what was appropriate and what was not. Looking back on these spe-cific issues, it seems silly, does it not?

Moving on to the Internet and Internet content, do you really want some “authority” todetermine what is appropriate and what is not? I don’t think so. As a matter of fact, to methat smacks of the regulation of thoughts and the regulation of ideas. It means less free-dom and more mind control. Clearly, that is not a good thing. India lacks an appropriatelegal framework and procedures to ensure proper oversight of Intelligence agencies’growing surveillance and interception capabilities, opening the possibility of misuse andunconstitutional invasion of citizens’ privacy.

I would like to suggest that legislated Internet censorship by our government goes too far.It translates into the elimination of our right to express individual ideas and opinions

publicly on blogs, in forums, and in online newsletters. And it translates into the depriva-tion of our right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”.

I don’t know about readers, but I take pride in the fact that I can say whatever I want, readwhatever I want, and think whatever I want. As long as I am not causing harm, there is noreason for our government to stifle these Acts. And they most certainly should not do so

by telling me that it is for the “greater good”. Let us call it what it is: Government censor-ship is a way for government to control society by protecting its citizens from what itthinks is appropriate. And in recent times, let’s face it: the Indian Government’s ability touse sound judgment in determining what is appropriate just plain stinks. What India Gov-ernment today is doing is taking the power to decide what is offensive and what is objec-tionable or what is against national security, and it is delegating this power to bureaucratsand police inspectors. I feel except for immediate and urgent National security concerns,court should decide what is objectionable and what is against the national interest.

Brain Sensor: Mental PowersSomething that used to sound like science fiction hasnow become reality. Thanks to a brain implant and arobotic arm, American citizen Cathy Hutchinson,who is paralysed from neck down, can now drink outof a bottle without anybody’s help. Hutchinson suf-fered from cerebral apoplexy in 1997. She has been

paralysed since then and cannot speak. After thestroke, Hutchinson could draw attention only witheye movements. In 2005, a brain sensor was plantedin Hutchinson’s cerebral cortex. The 4x4 mm implantcontains 96 capillary electrodes that trigger electricactivity in the nerve cells they are tapped into. “Shecould pick something up all by herself for the firsttime after almost 15 years”, said neurologist LeighHochberg, who participated in developing the Brain-Gate2 system.

The BrainGate2 electrodes were placed in positionswhere impulses for voluntary arm movements aregenerally triggered. For many years, the researchershave been looking for a way to assign correct move-ment patterns to nerve signals so that patients likeHutchinson could control robotic limbs and apparatusthrough their thoughts.
