The Future of Shopping!





For Effective Shoppers:Home Inventory & Purchase. 


Most of the times, you buy something which is already available with you, or you forget to buy something which is must required.
This is due to lack of inventory of things in your house.

In 2030,your will have a mobile application("EffectiveShopper") for managing your home inventory and purchase.

Effective shopper works efficiently by keeping track of all expiry dates and day-to-day consumtion of your current inventory etc..

  • EffectiveShopper will alert you of the purchases you have to make.
  • Ofcourse EffectiveShopper have a module, which lets you buy things from the mobile.
  • When you buy something, your EffectiveShopper will add it to the inventory.
  • When you try to buy the samething again at a later time, EffectiveShopper will pop-up and warn you[or even send a message to your wife/father?]


For Shopaholics:Google Glass Shopping

You see somthing interesting (a t-shirt of your colleague,mobile of your friend,shoes of a stranger etc).
You register in your mind, that you might want to buy similar one for you,in the next shopping occurence.

Unfortunately,that Shopping never occurs or gets postponed to the extent that your interest is changed by then.

Instead with Google Glass,
When you see something interesting, Google glass compare/contrast/recommends similar one and projects to your eyes and you purchase it in the same moment.

Your interest is honoured immediately!
 
Aggregators


In 2013, we have so much of brands which are equally competent and interesting.
Often you get consfused which one to buy?

Also a product that is costlier in India may be cheaper in China.
You want to compare/contrast against a wider supplier/vendor network

Atleast by 2030, you should have a  Dependable Aggregator.
It would be a Web/Mobile/Google glass application
Aggregator has tie up with suppliers/vendors across the world.

  • You search a product in the aggregator
  • Aggregator will recommend the best BUYs [After taking in to account  Consumer feedback,rating,brand, quality,features,price,tax,your credit status etc]

Shopping Social

By 2030, anything you purchase will be known to your friends with the help of your Social Network applications.
Your friends can like/comment/pity on your purchases.

Also, all friends will post  their proposed BUYS.And then single order can be placed which will get you discounts :)

Transistor





 
Transistor is the Component which is based on the Semiconductor.
And which does the actual control of current flow within electronic devices.
 
Previously it was Vacuum tubes which was used for same purpose.
But is was not pragmatic solution due to huge size and overheating.
 
Now There is no electronic device without transistors.
 It all started noticeably with Radio .Sony mass produced Radio by replacing Vacuum Tubes with Transistors.
Thats why infact Radios were earlier referred simply as Transistors. 
 
In computers,They are used for storing bits (binary digit 0 and 1)  .
Since transistor control the current flow,
When there is No current Flow-->Store 0 digit
When there is Current Flow-->Store 1 digit



When there are more & more transistors , this will increase the computation power/parallel processing.
Hence now billions of transistors within a single computer.(ofcourse within Integrated Circuits)

 
 

Biggest invention


Semiconductor

Semiconductor is one of the biggest invention of manhood.

Why?

Conductor->Fully passes the current
Insulator-->Fully rejects the current 
Semiconductor-->It is somewhere inbetween, partially passes the current.

Electronic devices apparently powered by current and they could not have Conductors inside its components, which will result only in damage of its intrinsic components.

Current Flow must be controlled within the components of Electronic devices.

Semiconductor is the base material to control the Current Flow! 


Having said that, a component ,built with Semiconductor as a base material, does the actual Controlling of Current Flow.

Do you know? which is that component?

SBI Magnum Emerging Biz

I just recently created a SIP on SBI Magnum Emerging Biz.I decided to do so as the 3year return of this fund is the toppest of all its peers.(Mid/Small CAP). Infact toppest of all the Equity Funds.

But just now happened to see, CRISIL have downgraded this MF to Rank 2.
Iam still going ahead to invest.Lets see!!


How to take picture of a waterfall?

The essence of any waterfall lies in the free flow of water.capturing this essence requires little more patience and steady hand.  I have tried the below one.


How to take it:
Narrow the aperture as much as possible. To avoid darkness increase the exposure time.

Camera   :   Canon 40D
Aperture :    f/22
Exposure:    1/2 sec
