In the present day and age, waking up and not using a mobile phone is almost unheard of. Smartphones now have such an enormous impact on every aspect of our life by making everything so easily accessible at the palm of our hands. The smartphones now have more computing power than most laptops. But how did it all begin? The Motorola DynaTAC 8000X . In 1984, it became the first commercially available handheld cellular mobile phone. A full charge took roughly 10 hours, and it offered 30 minutes of talk time. It also offered an LED display for dialing or recall and could store 30 phone numbers. It weighed 794 g and stood 33cm high. It cost a whopping US$3995, which after adding inflation would cost $9912 in 2020. Though the creator, Martin Cooper, made the world's first phone call in 1973, which weighed around 2kg, it took the company over a decade to bring it to the market. Now we have a phone that is smaller than your thumb! Zanco tiny t1 claims to be the smallest phone in the mar...

DREAM , the most fantasized aspect of all our lives. Not the one which occurs as a series of thoughts, images, and sensations that occur during sleep. The one which is the ray of hope, a reason to live for, ambition, aspiration, goal to be an inspiration to millions of dreamers out there. Can you think of one person who doesn’t have dreams? It is embedded in people's lives that Dreams leads to success. YES, Anybody and Everybody dream to feel the sense of contentment. “Dream Big”, “Never stop Dreaming” are some of the buzz words of the younger generation. But the number who actually live their dream is few. Contemplating on why the count is less, living up to our dreams requires a lot of perseverance, resilience to strive all the odds and belief in our weird imagination. Your Dream, might not be logical or achievable for others and that’s the reason people end up telling “Don’t Day Dream” , which is a pessimistic comment which drives many of us away from it and forces us to liv...

As we all know, our computing power is increasing day by day. It was just 77 years ago when the first computer, ENIAC, was invented which occupied 1800 square feet in area and weighed at a whopping 50 tons. Now we have computer systems that are presently computing the combinations of various compounds that could control the spread of the Corona Virus. They run for tens of hours connected to multiple CPU's and run multiple combinations at the same time. And the technology to construct complex simulation games are up and booming. We are able to create games where we give a character a set of missions to accomplish. Now imagine a day when you can create a simulated world so perfectly, containing humans and other life forms as real as you and me, to a degree where you can put together every single neuro-synaptic thought that a person can have and also giving that character the perception of free will! Give that line another read .  This is called the Simulation Hypothesis , where we...

It's the small things in life that matter the most. This blog is about one of the smallest, yet a prominent part of our lives which is undervalued. A Bottle . In the present-day world, the word bottle is almost synonymous with alcohol! But whether it's an actual water bottle that comes to mind or alcohol, both hold value in one's life but the difference being one is essential and the other is presumed to be an elixir!   The bottle has been a part of our life right from our toddler days. We all were sometime or the other, bottle-fed. As we grew older, we carried it everywhere we went, starting from school to the bedside table just before we sleep, from playgrounds to office room tables. Without us ever giving it a thought, it has always been around us.   Earth is filled with 71% of water, yet women and children in developing parts of the world, have to walk an average of 6km daily to get water that is often contaminated with disease-causing pathogens. Humans can surviv...

43 years ago, NASA launched 2 space probes, named Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 , in consecutive months which became the 3rd and 4th man-made objects to ever cross the Heliosphere (the region within which the Sun's magnetic field is prominent). This sphere is stretched around 18 billion kilometers from the Sun. This sphere contains the magnetic field and the solar wind that protect the Solar System from Interstellar Wind. This protective sheath is called the Heliosheath. We are not going to bother you with the details of the launch and the specifications of the space shuttle. We are here to talk only about the interesting facts and most importantly,  The Golden Record. 1. Voyager 1 is the most distant man-made object from the Earth currently at 22.3 billion kilometers . It is traveling at 17 km/s which is greater than the escape velocity of the Earth. 2. If it stays on the same course as now, it would take about 40000 years (yes, you read that right. 40000 YEARS)for Voyager 1 to ...

Following the herd of stories, posts, hashtags on social media filled with how bad is 2020, it's quite debilitating to watch how people blame the year for everything that has happened and not take any accountability for their mistakes. Yet, in a few months, 2020 will be in the past, and are you sure the situation will change without any effort from our side?  "If only things were fine!!!", they say. Yes, things would have been better if not for the current predicament but we never know. Something else would have happened that was just as bad as this.  "If it weren't for this lockdown, no one could have stopped me" Yes, that's the irony. We understand the importance of time once it has passed. Now, imagine, what happens when a 3-hour movie is played at 0.25 times the playback speed? The very thought of it is irritating, right? But why can't our attitude towards watching that one movie, be enthusiastic? Why can't our attitude towards it be ...

In the world filled with short forms of short messages, it has become increasingly difficult for a writer to maintain the focus of the reader for a prolonged period. But here we are, taking on a journey to provide you with a quick dose of knowledge in under 5 minutes. We welcome you to our blog,  LiTe. Life-Technology . No, we are not going to preach about how to integrate life with technology, nor are we going to discuss the harmful effects of technology in a person's life. In the era of YouTube, people don't care to read lengthy blogs for information. They search for a video, a video with a clickbaity thumbnail shows up and most of the time, they are satisfied with the results. But we are taking the classic approach of writing and reading. Art classes in school were one of the most enjoyed because we used to create something with our own hands and we were proud of it. Going in that same path, we are here to talk about all the major and minor topics in our day to day life t...
