Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015!From HOD’s Desk... ! It gives me an immense pleasure to introduce our magazine named i++ - Iterate your KNOWledge. In this competitive world today, education has become more exam oriented. Students securing very good marks in Secondary and Higher secondary standard get vanished when it comes to professional courses. Marks become the only criteria for the students to choose one branch of education or the other. The students liking, aptitude and endurance take a back seat in deciding the future. The students are preparing for examsake and not for the knowledge the education offers. We encourage students to think on their own, out of the box and develop their capacity to!find solutions of their own.This Magazine is brought with a motive to showcase the activities of the department,achievements, and notably to enhance the learning process of the students by sharing thetechnical knowledge in such a way that would captivate the interest of the students who!thrive to learn more.Students, \"Don’t restrict your thoughts to the boundaries of the class room. Let your!imagination and thoughts flow\".!Wishing you all the best! Mrs. S.Pramila, HOD IT.i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015... !We in the editorial body of I++ work towards spreading the word on latest trends in technology,achievement and break-through in our field and also bring about a unison in the thoughtprocess so as to cultivate an ecosystem that is filled up of us, who turn out as scientists,!researchers and engineers.Every time we sit down to prepare the Magazine, we are amused by the number of newtechnologies that are introduced, number of innovations cracked down and also the number ofsecurity breaches that take place within minutes into even the safest of system. A communitythat has rapid growth every single minute is leveling up astonishingly high that we end upwondering if all that is true, but fortunately or unfortunately, it is all true. Engineers are servingas the backbone for all the innovations and we need to be motivated and inspired by all theirefforts towards improvising our community and unfolding opportunities that we never knewexisted. The numerous efforts that were put forth to bring about the world that we now see assomething that is technology oriented and gadgets dependent has come a long way back fromhistory where transistors were viewed as the greatest innovations of all time to a milliontransistors getting embedded into a single chip. Our magazine is intended to bring about thatsparkling thought into the minds of our readers that will provoke them to take interest in!technology and become technologists whom the world will hail as they did to many. Our motive is to open up ideas, provide information about technologies that we hope wouldchange the way we see the world that is revolving around, 24*7 producing thousands of!technologists day by day. !!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! - The Editorial Team.! !! !! !! !! !!!! !i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015 Alumni Speaks... Editorial: How do you feel after graduating?Alumni: It feels really great. Four years of hard work has paid off. But graduation marks more thanjust the end of college life. It’s an added responsibility. I would like to thank my parents, facultymembers and my friends for my accomplishment. Editorial: How important do you think it is important to develop skills in all disciplines apart fromonly academics for surviving in MNCs? If it’s important, mention the skills that serve a greaterpurpose. Alumni: It is certainly important to develop skills apart from academics. It is not only essential forworking in MNCs but for surviving in this competitive world. It is good to develop these skills duringthe college days as this is the best platform to learn and let others learn. The life skills likeinterpersonal skills, which we use to interact with other people, both individually and in groups andintrapersonal skills, which is the ability to manage one’s emotions and situations.Editorial: Life in RIT and Life after RIT.? Alumni: Life in RIT is the best part of my life :) . I just love my college and am proud to be anRITian. My college has given me not only good friends but also an exposure which is of a kind. Ithas given me many priceless moments which I will cherish forever. The training given in the collegehas helped most of us in getting our jobs. I miss my classroom, my department, our faculties to thecore now. Though we stay connected with our friends through social media, I will always miss mycollege and my department, IT for sure. Editorial: What is the current trend in recruitment..?? Share your experience of attending one. Alumni: Even I wanted to talk about this. It is good to be active in professional networks likeLinkedIn whose value many of us don’t recognize. Social recruiting is one the ripe platform forfinding right candidates. This is because recruiters find mobile and social networking a worth toinvest than referrals. It’s no secret that recruiters prefer quality people than quantity. Editorial: Finally, what would you like to say to all of us, your juniors, in all perspectives??Alumni: I would like to share certain points which many might be aware of by this time. First, enjoyyour college days to the maximum, as you wouldn’t be able to live this life even if you have timei++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Facebook, The Social ! ! Giant.i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015 A giant Leap in the field of Social Networking comes from him. He dreamt, Hefollowed it, and achieved it, yes, we are talking about Mark Zuckerberg, the man whogave us Facebook, a platform to connect with everyone around the globe, socially. Hereis the beginning of our Exclusive Series of Articles on Facebook, itś working, it’s services!and its effects into our lives.What database actua!y Facebook uses?\" A billion of people are using Facebook. Users are expressing themselves and interactingwith their  peer and friends through wall posts, uploading their photos, passinginformation’s about events and  other meaningful information and for that reasonFacebook needs a large scalable database. Facebook use several database techniques. The challenge for Facebook’s engineers hasbeen to keep the site up and running smoothly in spite of handling close to billion activeusers. This article takes a look at some of the software and techniques they use toaccomplish their mission. Mysql\"Facebook primarily uses MySQL for structured data storage such as wall posts, user information, timeline etc.  This data is replicated between their various datacentres. Memcached\"It is also important to note that Facebook makes heavy use of Memcached,a  memorycaching system that is used to speed up dynamic database driven websites by cachingdata  and objects in RAM to reduce reading time. Memcached is Facebook’s primaryform of caching and greatly reduces the database load. Having a caching system allowsFacebook to be as fast as it is at recalling your data. If it doesn’t have to go to thedatabase it will just fetch your data from the cache based on your user ID. Haystck \"The Photos application is one of Facebook’s most popular features. Up to date, usershave uploaded over 15 billion photos which make Facebook the biggest photo sharingwebsite. For  each uploaded photo, Facebook generates and stores four images ofdifferent sizes, which translates to a total of 60 billion images and 1.5PB of storage. Thei++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015current growth rate is 220 million new  photos per week, which translates to 25TB ofadditional storage consumed weekly.Implements a HTTP based photo server which stores photos in a generic object store!called Haystack.Casandra \"The Apache Cassandra database is the rightchoice when you need scalability and   highavailability without compromisingperformance. Facebook uses it for its Inbox search.!Scribe Scribe is a flexible logging system that Facebook uses for a multitude of purposesinternally. It’s been built to be able to handle logging at the scale of Facebook, andautomatically handles new logging categories as they show up.  Varnish Varnish is an HTTP accelerator which can act as a load balancer and also cachecontent which can then be served lightning-fast. Facebook uses Varnish to serve photosand profile pictures,handling billions of requests every day. Hiphop for PHP\" HipHop for PHP is a set of PHP execution engines. HipHop was developed by  Facebook and was released as open source in early 2010. To date, Facebook has achieved more than a 6x reduction in CPU utilisation for the site using HipHop as compared with Apache and Zend  PHP.Facebook is able to move fast and maintain a high number of engineers who are able to work  across the entire codebase.   So, while “What database does Facebook use?” seems like a simple question,you can see that Facebook developers have added a variety of other systems to make it!truly web scalable over their 500million users. -Dr. A.

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Quantum Cryptography II.i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015In quantum key distribution (QKD), two parties use single photons that are randomly polarized to statesrepresenting ones and zeroes to transmit a series of random number sequences that are used as keys incryptographic communications. This string of numbers becomes a quantum key that locks or unlocksencrypted messages sent via normal communication channels. Because the transmitted photons cannotbe intercepted without being destroyed, and the act of interception then tips off the message receiver, QKDis considered the most powerful data encryption scheme ever developed and its codes are, by all!indications, virtually unbreakable.Although the quantum key distribution technique was not created at Los Alamos, laboratory researchershave taken the technology, quite literally, to new lengths in the interest of national security. In 1999, LosAlamos researchers set a world record when they sent a quantum key through a 31-mile-long optical fiber.While this distance proved sufficiently far enough to create QKD networks connecting closely-spacedgovernment offices or localized bank branches, the system failed at greater distances when signal lossincreased to the point at which the photons were absorbed by normal optical fiber noise. To achieve longerdistances, Los Alamos researchers developed a free-space quantum cryptography system that could sendkeys through the air. Los Alamos quantum scientists developed a transportable, self-contained QKD!system that used polarized photons to send information through the air for distances of up to 10 miles.This mobile trailer-based QKD system could be quickly deployed in the field and was capable ofcontinuous, automated transmission in both daylight and darkness. Today, Los Alamos researchers are inthe process of taking this technology even further by developing a smaller scale version that is capable ofbeing put on an Earthorbiting satellite for transmitting quantum keys distances of hundreds of miles!!between the satellite and a ground stations. !! - Mr. Ashok, Asst Prof(SS) IT. i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Analytical Potential.!i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015!\"Unleash your analytical potential & Grab a Career in Data Science\"!!What is Analytics?!Many people think analytics is about gathering data using software tools and creatingdashboards and reports. However, analytics is much more. Analytics goes beyond data; itsprimary goal is to enable business decisions based on that data. This involves working withstakeholders to understand the gaps in the business and using this knowledge as a guideto manipulate data, derive useful insights, and make recommendations – all key actions toincrease revenue and lower costs.How to move into analytics?!Wherever you sit in your organization, what’s most important is the bottom line. And sowhether you lead business or IT units or are in the trenches, the analytics profession haslikely crossed your mind. What does it entail? Who are true analysts? How does onebecome an analyst?!Step 1: Align your disposition to your careerWhat are the telltale signs of a good analyst? Ask yourself these questions to see if you!have what it takes:!1. Are you a problem solver?!2. Do you like puzzles and other games involving logical thinking?!3. Are you generally curious?!4. Do you like working with people and helping them solve their problems?!5. Are you driven toward making an impact through your work?6. If you answered “yes” to most of these questions, you will likely enjoy being an ! analyst.!!!!!!!i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015!Step 2: Get trainedOnce you know you will enjoy this career, it is time to get trained. To do that, you’ll need todecide how you want to use analytics. Do you want to play in business analytics, drivingdecisions in the business world, or would you prefer the technical challenges of a datascientist doing advanced analytics?!To give you some perspective, McKinsey Global Institute’s report on big data predicts thatby 2018, there will be a shortage of 1.5 million analysts/managers who can make data-!driven decisions versus 140,000-190,000 positions open for data scientists.i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015There are several key differences between the two tracks.Scientists need advanced analytics skills and thus they need formal education in statistics,computational mathematics or predictive analytics. Data scientists spend more time oncomputer algorithms than they do working with people. If you love working on data,!software and systems, this is a good fit.A business analytics professional/manager will need a basic understanding of analyticaltechniques that most data professionals can learn quickly. Analysts/managers spend moretime interfacing with people than computers and are often working with broader business!questions that can be solved using simpler analytics techniques. !1.

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Smart Helmets.i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015!A helmet is a form of protective gear worn to protect the head from injuries. Theword helmet is diminutive from helm, a medieval word for protective combat headgear. Thoughhelmets are in different styles and colors, Smart helmets become popular nowadays not only inother parts of the world but also in India. The impact when a motorcyclist involves in a high speed accident without wearing a helmet is verydangerous and can cause fatality. Wearing a helmet can reduce hock from the impact and may savea life. There are many countries enforcing a regulation that requires the motorcycle's rider to wear ahelmet when riding on their motorcycle, Malaysia is an example. With this reason, a project isspecially developed as to improve the safety of the motorcycle's rider. Motorcyclist will be alarmedwhen the speed limit is exceeded. A Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) and BLDC Fan are used fordetection of the rider's head and detection of motorcycle's speed respectively. A 315 MHz RadioFrequency Module as wireless link which able to communicate between transmitter circuit andreceiver circuit. PIC16F84a is a microcontroller to control the entire component in the system. Onlywhen the rider buckled the helmet then only the motorcycle's engine will start. A LED will lash if themotor speed exceeds 100 km/hour. - Mrs. Subha, Asst Prof(SG) IT.i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Human beings are gregarious creatures, and therefore, are dedicated to engendering andparticipating in convivial networks in order to express and apportion their conceptions. With the riseof the cyber world, people began satisfying this natural indispensability in online communities suchas internet forums. The evolution of these convivial forums resulted in today’s ecumenicalgregarious networking.Today, everyone has heard of the most popular convivial network– Facebook– but there are many more gregarious networks than solely Mark Zuckerberg’s popular website.Some of these are designed for sharing information, some can avail you find an incipient job, someare utilized for sharing videos, music or pictures, and some are amalgamating members of aparticular interest. Here is a list of the most intriguing gregarious networks there are and whatmakes them so remarkable. As anteriorly mentioned, Facebook is kenned to virtually everycyberspace utilizer. Facebook is an ecumenical gregarious network, which hundreds of millions of users use to connectand apportion content. Currently, Facebook has more than 900 million users. After registering onFacebook, you may engender your own personal profile and integrate friends that you want to sharestatus updates, photos, videos or chat with. Furthermore, there are Facebook Pages, which you can\"like\" to become a component of a community that has a mundane interest – favourite actor,popular brand, favourite company, etc. You must be at least 13 years of age in order to engender aFacebook Twitter is a gregarious network, but isdrastically different than Facebook. It is amicro-publishing system, which sanctionsyou to compose concise messages of 140characters that are kenned as “Tweets.” Toengender your own Twitter community – youcan \"follow\" someone in order to receivetheir Tweets in your news aliment or you canbe ‘followed’ by others and they will receiveyour Tweets. Another special characteristic ofTwitter is the utilization of hashtags in orderto reach a more astronomically immenseaudience. By utilizing a hashtag symbol (e.g.#Twitter), other Twitter users that arefollowing that particular hashtag are moreliable to visually perceive your Tweets.Although YouTube is not considered a convivial media platform, it has gregarious mediacharacteristics and is very popular, thus making it worth mentioning. YouTube is a video-sharingwebsite where you can view, share, upload, comment on, like or dislike videos. The majority of thecontent that is uploaded to YouTube originates from individual persons. However, there are manyofficial YouTube “Channels” for companies, bands, singers, etc. In order to upload, comment or like/i++

YouTube is included in this list, because ithas its own community and akin to other gregarious networks, you can “like” content, interact withother users, and follow the Channels that you find fascinating. LinkedIn is a gregarious network designated for “professionals.” This betokens that component of your LinkedIn profile that is most paramount is your vocation, jobs, inculcation and other skills. Many users are no longer sending the traditional Curriculum Vitae to their potential employers; instead they are sending them a link to their LinkedIn profile. Surprisingly, many employers are evenrequiring job candidates to provide their LinkedIn profile with their cover letter. Besides sanctioningyou to publish your CV, LinkedIn sanctions users to join groups, utilize applications, post yourbusiness references, and search for any type of business contact. Additionally, this businessconvivial network is an invaluable implement for managers and human resource directors. Thisgregarious network avails many HR officers and head hunters probe an astronomically immensepool of potential employees. However, the fundamental LinkedIn profile is inhibited in function. Ifyou want more advanced options then there is a monthly utilizer fee.Google+ is one of the most incipient convivial networks, launched by Google in June 28, 2011. Theserver presents itself as an accommodation that can avail you stay in touch with your friends andacquaintances, and discover incipient fascinating people. Once you will register to Google+, youcan fill in your personal information, upload your profile picture, integrate photo albums from GooglePicasa Web Albums, and connect your Google+ profile with your Twitter profile and much more. Instagram is additionally a relatively incipient gregarious networks – launched in October 2010.

When consumer versions of these devices land in 2016, theywill help define the next level for video gamesVirtual Reality (VR)!VR can be referred to as immersive multimedia or computer-simulated life, replicates anenvironment that simulates physical presence in places in the real world or imagined worlds. Virtualreality can recreate sensory experiences, which include virtual taste, sight, smell, sound, and touch.Most up to date virtual reality environments are displayed either on a computer screen or withspecial stereoscopic displays, and some simulations include additional sensory information and!emphasize real sound through speakers or headphones targeted towards VR users.The challenges Virtual Reality faces!The roots of virtual reality lay partly in the Bay Area. Inventor Jack McCauley said his lab here wasthe ground floor where Oculus, a VR leader that was purchased by Facebook for $2 billion last year,started in 2012. It was where the Kick starter video for the device was filmed, and the former Oculusvice president of engineering said McCauley had a hand in the design of the prototypes and theproduction of the development kits that went out to the crowd funding backers.\"IT'S A MISMATCH OF WHAT YOUR EYES ARE SEEING AND YOUR EARS ARE FEELING.\"i++

In \"EVE: Valkyrie\" on Project Morpheus and Oculus Rift, players are in aspaceship engaged with other crafts. Peering over the cockpit, they get a deep sense of thevastness around them. When it's done wrong, virtual reality can produce nausea. That can happenin first-person experiences such as the indie game \"Narcosis,\" in which players explore an underseafacility.Developers will have to think of ways to guide a player into seeing pivotal scenes or vital clues.Spatial 3-D audio along with tactile feedback from controllers will be a vital component, Marks said.The audio acts as the backbone, letting users know what's going on beyond their peripheral visionwhile feedback from controllers reinforces the immersion.!Different kind of games ! The advent of virtual reality also means some popular video game genres face an upheaval, whilelong-forgotten ones will be reinvigorated and new types of games could emerge. Flight simulatorsand racing games lend themselves to the experience well because players are in the same positionas their avatar in the virtual world. i++

We may live in a mobile-driven world now, but there was a time when people did their onlinemessaging on the desktop, and Yahoo Messenger was at the top of the game. Mobile messagingapps such as WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook Messenger and many others, however, are nowfar more popular than Yahoo Messenger.Nevertheless, Yahoo is now looking to try again with a new messenger app called Live text, as TechCrunch first noticed. The app is available only in the Hong Kong iTunes Store for now, and it's anodd combination of mute video and text.\"Welcome to Live text for iOS, the most natural way tohave REAL conversations. It's live video texting, without sound. You will feel like your friends areright there with you,\" touted the app description on iTunes.In other words, Yahoo apparently feels that the most natural way to communicate with someone isattaching mute video to your text. Basically, for it to feel like a real conversation the other personhas to watch you type, based on the logic of Live text.Yahoo notes that we've lost the natural flow of conversation somewhere along the way, and itsLivetext app aims to go back to the basics, focusing on words and real-time reactions.

The digital images of cell samples, taken by camera-equipped lab microscopes can be transmitted via Internet to specialists at different health centersfor additional studies.In this image you can see malaria-infected blood. According to one of the latest UN reports, about60 percent of people around the globe use cell phones. The team realized that cell phone networksrepresent an inexpensive and fast way to convey medical information wirelessly. For their latestinvention scientists used off-the-shelf parts to create an inexpensive and portable microscopeattachment which connects to any latest Mobile's advanced Camera Lens.Using microscope,researchers can identify objects that are only 1.2 micrometers across. Red blood cells are usuallyfrom 6 to 8 micrometers across. In order to take clear picture of medical sample natural light is quiteenough. Still, scientists decided to add a battery-powered LED lamp and several filters so theirgadget could also work as a fluorescent microscope, reports New Scientist.Several widespreaddiseases and conditions, the results promising, and pictures of malaria-infected blood were goodenough to be able to diagnose the disease. Besides, the system could also help diagnose sickle-cell anaemia from blood samples, thus researchers will be able to spot the presence of tuberculosis.!i++

Technology is growing faster than everything. If possible, IBM’s “BLUE BRAIN”, an artificialbrain that can think, respond, take decision, and keep anything in memory, would be the first virtualbrain of the world. The goal is to reverse engineer the brain into a computer.Why Blue brain ?!Today we are developed because of our intelligence. Intelligence is the inborn quality that cannot becreated. After the death of a person, virtual brain will act as a person so we will not lose theknowledge, intelligence, personalities, feelings and memories of that man that can be used for thedevelopment of the human society. Certain super brains like that of Steve Jobs, or StephenHawking’s could be interfaced with computer to develop super computers.Objective !IBM’s blue brain project will search for insights into how human beings think and remember.Scientists think that blue brain could also help to cure the Parkinson's disease. The brain circuitry isin a complex state of flux, the brain rewiring itself every moment of its existence.

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Ethical Hacking.!i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Ethical hacking and ethical hacker are terms used to describe hacking performed by a company orindividual to help identify potential threats on a computer or network. An ethical hacker attempts tobypass system security and search for any weak points that could be exploited by malicioushackers. This information is then used by the organization to improve the system security, in aneffort to minimize or eliminate any potential attacks.The term \"ethical hacker\" has received criticism at times from people who say that there is no suchthing as an \"ethical\" hacker. Hacking is hacking, no matter how you look at it and those who do thehacking are commonly referred to as computer criminals or cyber criminals. However, the work thatethical hackers do for organizations has helped improve system security and can be said to be quiteeffective and successful. Individuals interested in becoming an ethical hacker can work towards acertification to become a Certified Ethical Hacker, or CEH. This certification is provided by theInternational Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council). The exam itself costs about Rs 30Kto take and consists of 125 multiple-choice questions in version 8 of the test (version 7 consisted of150 multiple-choice questions).Tips! ! •Never stop hacking. If you stop you will forget some things and it will be hard to re-learn. You should not hack 24/7 take a break every once in a while and go outside and do something or talk with friends. •Join helpful communities, and make friends with people who know more than you! You •Become fluent in C++ before you start hacking.• Always have a computer security program like AVG this will help you a lot from those pesky viruses from other people.• Don't trust all programs. Yes programs can be nice and fun to help you out but, not all programs from the Internet should be trusted some might just get yourself hacked!CEH Training:!The Certified Ethical Hacker class will immerse the students into a hands-on environment wherethey will be shown how to conduct ethical hacking. They will be exposed to an entirely different wayof achieving optimal information security posture in their organization; by hacking it! They will scan,test, hack and secure their own systems. -Vidya.R, III year ITi++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Computer that 'operates' !on water droplets.!i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015!A computer that operates using the unique physics of moving water droplets has beendeveloped by an Indian-origin scientist and his team. The computer is nearly a decade inthe making, incubated from an idea that struck Manu Prakash, an assistant professor ofbioengineering at Stanford University, when he was a graduate student. The work combineshis expertise in manipulating droplet fluid dynamics with a fundamental element ofcomputer-Science.\"IN THIS WORK, WE FINALLY DEMONSTRATE A SYNCHRONOUS, UNIVERSAL DROPLET LOGIC AND CONTROL,\"!PRAKASH SAID.!Droplet computer!It can theoretically perform any operation that a conventional electronic computer cancrunch, although at significantly slower rates. \"We already have digital computers toprocess information. Our goal is not to compete with electronic computers or to operate!word processors on this,\" Prakash said. \"OUR GOAL IS TO BUILD A COMPLETELY NEW CLASS OF COMPUTERS THAT CAN PRECISELY CONTROL ANDMANIPULATE PHYSICAL MATTER.\"!i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015!Imagine if when you run a set of computations that not only information is processed butphysical matter is algorithmically manipulated as well. We have just made this possible atthe mesoscale,\" Prakash said. Prakash wondered if he could use little droplets as bits ofinformation and utilize the precise movement of those drops to process both information!and physical materials simultaneously. Prakash decided to build a rotating magnetic field that could act as clock to synchronize allthe droplets. Prakash and his team built arrays of tiny iron bars on glass slides that looksomething like a Pac-Man maze. They laid a blank glass slide on top and sandwiched alayer of oil in between. Then they carefully injected into the mix individual water dropletsthat had been infused with tiny magnetic Nano-particles. Next, they turned on the magneticfield. Every time the field flips, the polarity of the bars reverses, drawing the magnetizeddroplets in a new, predetermined direction. A camera records the interactions between!individual droplets, allowing observation of computation as it occurs in real time. The presence or absence of a droplet represents the 1s and 0s of binary code, and theclock ensures that all the droplets move in perfect synchrony, and thus the system can runvirtually forever without any errors. Prakash said the most immediate application mightinvolve turning the computer into a high-throughput chemistry and biology laboratory.Instead of running reactions in bulk test tubes, each droplet can carry some chemicals andbecome its own test tube, and the droplet computer offers unprecedented control over!these internally.! -Tanya Bharati, II year ITi++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Google's new self cars cruise- \" driving. \"!!!!! !i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015!This May 13, 2015, Google's new self-driving prototype car was presented during a demonstrationat the Google campus in Mountain View, California. The latest models of Google's self-driving carsare now cruising the streets near the Internet Company’s Silicon Valley headquarters as anambitious project to transform the way people get around shifts into its next phase. This marks thefirst time that the pod-like, two-seat vehicles have been allowed onpublic roads since Googleunveiled the next generation of its self-driving fleet more than a year ago. The cars had previouslybeen confined to a private track on a former Air Force base located about 120 miles southeast ofSan Francisco.!!!!!!!!!!!!Google announced last month that it would begin testing the curious-looking cars last month, buthadn't specified the timing until Tuesday when it disclosed the vehicles are driving up to 25 milesper hour on the roads around its Mountain View, California, office. Google had installed its roboticdriving technology in Lexus sportsutility vehicles and Toyota Priuses during the first few years oftesting before developing the smaller prototype. The new models are designed to work without asteering wheel or brake pedal, although the vehicles will be equipped with those features during theinitial runs on public roads. A human will also ride in the cars to take control in emergencies, just ashas been the case with the self-driving Lexus vehicles during the past six years. Last year,i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Google Inc. told reporters it hoped to have a 100 of the self-driving prototypes in its fleet by now,but the company said it has only built 25 of them so far. All 25 have received permission fromCalifornia's Department of Motor Vehicles to drive neighbourhood roads.If all goes well, Google hopes to gain regulatory clearance to remove the steering wheel, brakepedal and emergency driver from the prototype. Company executives have expressed hope thatself-driving cars using its technology will be joining the flow of daily traffic by the end of this decade.The earlier models of Google's self-driving cars had been involved in 13 minor accidents throughmore than 1.8 million miles on the roads, according to the company. Google blamed the collisionson other vehicles in every instance except one when the company says one of its own employeeswas steering.! - Rukmani, IV Year IT.! !i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Why Ad Agencies won't!be replaced by Google. ! ! !i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015 Advertising agencies have been walking in fear of the giant tech companies like Google andFacebook ever since these disruptive new players arrived on the scene. And for years, Google andFacebook have been insisting that agencies are their business partners, not their competitors.These complicated relationship dynamics led one high-profile agency executive to famously refer toGoogle as a “frenemy.” There are some legitimate reasons for the advertising agency industry to be concerned. Google hasbeen siphoning ad dollars that normally would be spent through media agencies. And because ofthe growing popularity and effectiveness of search, marketers continue to invest more money thereat the expense of traditional paid media campaigns, the bread and butter of most agencies.But ultimately, agencies need not be concerned that Googlewishes to supplant their role in the business world. Googleruns an immensely profitable business, turning in averageannual profits of 50%. This year, WPP achieved 17%. Theaverage profit for many independent agencies is even lower.Why would Google ever want to be in the agency business?As the Economist recently observed in theirexcellent Advertising and Technology Special Report“Perversely, the agencies mediocre returns may protect themfrom being wiped out by nimbler competitors.” As the reportpoints out, companies like Google would have to addsignificant new staff to replicate the agency model, and forvery limited returns.Another key metric of success!It wasn’t always this way. Back in the days of Don Draper (and before the invention of the agencytime sheet) firms benefitted from commissions on big media budgets and turned in average profitmargins of 30%. But today, agencies are a people-hungry business with largely flat revenues andlow returns. When calculating revenue per employee – a useful metric of success for knowledgework – most independent agencies are in the range of $125,000 per employee. A handful of the verybest agencies may turn in twice that number, but it’s a long way from the returns earned bymarketing technology companies. Google generates $1,135,000 in revenue for every one employee.At Facebook, revenue per employee is $1,192,000. Craig’s List, a private company, is said toproduce a remarkable $3 million per employee.The virtual reality company Oculus VR waspurchased by Facebook recently for $2 billion. Oculus VR has 75 employees. Consider the marketvalue of an advertising agency with 75 people. True, these are very different companies, but the gapin market value is astounding that is now more than a century old.!i++

Iterate your KNOWledge Iteration - 2; August 2015Can knowledge work be automated?!Wall Street is now largely automated, with real-time bidding administered in micro-seconds bycomputers instead of traders on the floor of the exchange. While this technology has no doubtreplaced some human traders, Wall Street firms have hugely benefitted because they’ve been ableto trade faster and with more precision, earning ever higher margins.This same type of technology is now being employed in the ad buying world. Called “programmaticbuying,” the concept is similar to the financial markets. Media inventory goes on the market, then isbid on and bought in an instant, using the brains of computers instead of human media buyers. Thebig agencies now even have what they call “trading desks.” To make matters worse, when agenciesplace digital media, it involves a host of marketing technology intermediaries who take a larger cutthan the agencies do – a “technology tax” of up to 80% of the media spend. Within just a few years,programmatic buying is expected to account for half of all online advertising, and online advertisingis on its way to becoming the dominant form of paid marketing on the planet.If you don’t invest in yourself, who wi\"?!This is one more reason agencies need to get out of the “service” business. Instead of respondingto the current needs of advertisers, agencies must invest much more financial and intellectualcapital creating new forms of value for their clients. This is no doubt challenging given the razor-thinmargins in the agency business right now. But what exactly is the alternative? Even if your firm hasbeen around 30 years, now is the moment to adopt the mentality – and business model – of a startup. If agencies don’t invest in themselves, it appears increasingly likely that no one else will either. - Reshma,III Year IT.i++
