CYBER SECURITY- “A NECESSITY IN TODAY’S ERA”.

CYBER SECURITY- “A NECESSITY IN TODAY’S ERA”.

Today, in the 21^st century everything is on the internet. We can get to know about anyone to everyone from the internet.  But what about its security?

It is right to say that today we are living in a cyber world where more than physical security cybersecurity is needed.

We may save our pieces of jewelry and documents by keeping them in lockups, but what about the information on the internet.

Today there are so many social networking platforms where people socialize, post their photos. In fact, it has become a status symbol to post such information and photos on the internet nowadays.

Cybercrime is the crime that is committed on the internet by using users’ confidential information from various media platform for any illegal purpose and cyber security is protecting our systems, mobiles, and us from such crimes.

In the last few years the rate of cybercrimes has increased tremendously and it's mainly the reason for is lack of awareness and knowledge among people.

Cyberspace is good but we should always remember to take the necessary steps to protect our data because prevention is always better than cure. We should know when and what details we should post on the internet.

Today as the globalization is increasing so as our relations and contacts with other people, whom we had never met before too, but this is where we mistake. We should never share any personal details with anyone on the internet.

There are many ways to convey crimes on the internet. Hackers can even blackmail the culprit by using their data which can even force them to suicide. It may be a number for us but for hackers, it can be our whole information. We log in to so many sites which ask for our information and to access our contacts and media gallery but we should be aware to fill our information as it can leak our confidential information. Even the popular website like Facebook, LinkedIn is not safe for our data.

There are many ways to commit cybercrimes like phishing, bullying, installing spyware, Trojan horse, etc which can affect our computer and our personal information.

In a recent survey it has been  found that India ranked 2^nd as the victim of cyber attacks and the main reason behind this is lack of knowledge, updates with people.     

We can secure our data by following the correct measures like we should  never post images of our recent visits or live visits, we should use strong passwords and should never repeat them anywhere, we should never read or reply to spam messages, we should not share our any personal information especially our account details. While using computers we should always maintain proper disk cleanup, run antivirus software in the background and should never insert pen drives that may have viruses in them.

Our government have launched many awareness programs like Cyber Swachhta Kendra (Botnet Cleaning and Malware Analysis Center)  a new desktop and mobile security solution for cybersecurity in India, educating people  about types of cyber attacks and how to deal with them, including chapters on cybersecurity to aware the students, developing highly secured systems for government works.

Fit India Movement “A step towards healthy and wealthy India.”

Fit India Movement “A step towards healthy and wealthy India.”

Today in the  21^st century we have become too busy to even eat, sleep and exercise properly. But what about the impacts of these on our health we cannot do any work if we are not well.

Mahatma Gandhi has truly said that it is our health which is our biggest wealth and not the pieces of paper. Health plays a major role in building our future. What if we know how to do work but because of our health, we cannot perform those work.

We must take care of our health because it is one of the most important things which can make us successful. The kind of lifestyle we are pursuing nowadays had made us lazy to perform physical works. As a consequence, our health and life expectancy has depleted.  Moreover today we are technologically advanced but physically weak. Today because of the pollution level has increased so much so as diseases.

To make people understand how precious our health is, our Prime Minister PM Narendra Modi on 29^th august 2019 on the occasion of national sports day has launched the “Fit India Movement”. Its main aim is to encourage people to remain healthy and fit by including physical activities and sports in their daily lives.

PM Modi also requested all the schools and institutions to give their students live fitness classes and sports classes because students can only study well when they are physically and mentally fit. He urged that we should use stairs instead of escalators and try to at least walk ten thousand steps daily excluding the use of vehicles for short distances.

In fact there are many diseases that can be cured by doing simple meditation, exercises, yoga. Not only this, there are unlimited advantages of exercises in our body like it boosts our immunity, improves blood circulation rate, and makes us feel relax as well.

Earlier people were fit and their life expectancy was more than us because they know to do physical exercises but in contrast to this today we have become so lazy to even make proper food for us.

Today the rate of heart and diabetes patients have increased so much, heart attacks have become so common that every other person is suffering from some of these

 illness. But its reason is not only environmental change but our carelessness towards

 our physical health.

 It is not necessary for us to go to the gym and spend so much to do fitness exercises we can do them in our home too. But we should at least try to take initiative to practice physical exercises daily.

A nation can only grow when its people are free from diseases. Fit India Movement is a very good initiative taken by our prime minister and we must try to do physical exercises atlease1 hour a day and should encourage every person to do the same.

Importance of Net Neutrality.

Importance of Net Neutrality.

Today in the 21st-century internet have become an important and indispensable part of our life. The Internet offers us various platforms to show our talents, generate money through it, and entertain ourselves by just a single click.

Using internet we can communicate from anybody from any part of the world to any part of the world. People who cannot go away from their home can show their talents to the whole world without any hindrance and can earn money. Moreover, because of the internet, today from rich to poor everybody can be their own boss.

But, we are able to do all this because the internet provides us the space to do all this without any discrimination. But what when the internet will not be neutral for us.

Today it’s a big concern that if the net neutrality will not be there then what will happen to the users. Net neutrality is a term which means that the internet should be provided to everybody at the same speed, at the same price without any discrimination based on different sites. There are many countries like India which offers its citizen net neutrality but many which do not.

In today’s era net neutrality is very important, not only for big business but for the common public as well.

If there will be no net neutrality then any service provider can ban any site or slow down any site or fast any site. In case if one powerful and big company who have an asset can sign a contract with a particular network or net service provider to fast down his website and slow other’s website, then the user will not have any power to access other site and by default, the traffic will go to his site, but if the small websites which do not have so much of asset will get slow to people’s access the network traffic will automatically decrease from their website and hence they will not be able to earn money. Today WhatsApp, Instagram, twitter are common social media sites which are used frequently by users and hence  have a lot of traffic, but what if our net service provider will ask us to pay more for using these apps along with our data value pack.

In India we should be blessed that the internet is neutral for everyone as without net neutrality it can create a lot of hindrance for people. Moreover, if there was no net neutrality then people would not have options for searching from different sites, watching different aspects and reading different blogs. Imagine if any information is wrong on one site and people do not have the option to go through different sites, then it can create misconception in our mind and can lead us to know the wrong information.

Moreover, if the net will not be neutral for us then we will not be able to access any information freely through the internet. So, it’s important for the internet to be neutral in every aspect for the people.

THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN GLOBALIZATION.

THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN GLOBALIZATION.

Globalization is the connection of different parts of the worlds resulting in spreading of ideas, economy, business, and political activities.

Technology is defined as the scientific knowledge or equipment that is needed for a particular industry.

Earlier sharing of knowledge, ideas and business were bounded by cross borders, but today because of the emergence of the internet, countries are interdepending on each other and this has played a key role in globalization. Today we can get gadgets from every part of the world and equipment to make them from any part of the world.

Today because of technology nothing is far from us. We can get information about anyone to anything by just a single click. Technology helps the business to grow as they can promote it in every part of the world, companies can sell their clothes, accessories, technological appliances.

Today without going anywhere, we can get information about their public, traditions, customs, atmosphere which helps in the spreading of knowledge which automatically globalizes the country.

Earlier when people go to any new place they don’t know about that place much, which hinders them to adjust in that atmosphere, but today because of technology we can get complete information about that place. We can learn their language, traditions which help in globalizing different countries into one world.

With the spread of technology, we can influence others also by our customs, tradition and can connect with people like us around the world.

Today we are not far from any change happening in the world, be it technological, social, political this helps poor as well as rich countries to grow at a faster rate which helps in globalization.

Today a person living in his home can work for any company from anywhere and earn money which helps companies to hire workers and globalize their work. Technology also helps people to migrate to different countries easily. The trading system through online payments, e-wallets have accelerated the global trade to the next level. Globalization also provides peoples with new opportunities and technology has made this process easy for the common public.

Today internet and social media have provided people the platforms to show their talents internationally and hence, helping in globalization. It helps the common public to know about latest trends globally. We can make friends and talk through them from any part of the world. This helps countries to form friendly relations with each other.

Moreover, technology has played a vital role in globalization and will accelerate it more in the years to come.

Is Internet Limiting Creativity?

Today we are living in the age of technology and knowledge. From children to adults all are using the internet in some or other ways, but is the internet really helping us or making us helpless for ourselves? Is the internet powering our knowledge or limiting our creativity?

Today in the 21^st century everything is on the internet. We can get to know about anything to everything with just a single click. But today as the use of the internet is growing so is the misuse of it. Whether it’s about the students’ project or homework we can find everything on the internet very easily. This is helping students in some ways but also hindering their minds to grow creatively and be thoughtful.

Earlier when people meet each other they talk but today they all are busy chatting on the internet. Today people can talk for hours on the internet but not face-to-face even for a minute. Technology has some positive and negative impacts on us.

Today because we can find everything on the internet, we have stopped thinking about some other ways to do a task. However, it is not the case with everyone because there are still many things that are improving and inventing. Moreover, some believe that the internet and technology are helping us and some believe that they can be a threat to society.

Today we are so dependent on the internet that we are not giving ourselves the room to think. Games are important whether it be indoor or outdoor for children for good health but nowadays children stick to their Smartphone’s or computer’s screen and play games for an unlimited time. This obviously is hazardous for their health.

Researchers say, that it is important for us to dream about developing things because it gives us the power to regenerate things. Today all the academic syllabus and homework are easily available on the internet. However, some believe in implementing those and think creatively of their own to do differently while some just copy & paste.

Moreover, it is us who will decide that the internet will help us to enhance our creativity or make it dull. We can get a lot about anything, this helps us make things better by studying or seeing its different perspective.

Many people take the internet as a boon to enhance their knowledge creativity and many people just copy or do useless stuff on the internet. Like there are so many e-books which curious people’s read and they can read it without spending their money on it. The Internet provides students a unique platform to clear their doubts without being in hesitation to ask someone, also they can take lectures and graphical explanations to understand a topic more clearly everywhere and every time. In fact today many students are switching their tuitions to online tuitions as it saves their time and money. The Internet provides students a lot to explore, understand, experiment, and implement.

However there are still many people who are not using the internet how it should be. We can get every type of content on the internet, it depends on us what type of we want.

It has no doubt that the internet has helped us in a number of ways like it has opened so many job platforms for people. People are now able to show their talents living in their homes. Internet helps people to connect to the world digitally. Today no information is far from us. There are many people who take the internet as a creative source and apply their imagination skills to make it more interesting.

Moreover, “This is the age of Knowledge, take the advantage or let the advantage take you.”

Importance of Yoga.

IMPORTANCE OF YOGA.

 

Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word “YUGA” which means to join or unite. Yoga is an art of living that was started nearly six thousand years ago in India. Yoga is just not about doing meditation but stretching our whole body to maintain its physique, also it plays a great role in maintaining one's health. Yoga has served as a boon to cure many health-related problems, also it is great medicine for one's anxiety, and gives happiness and peacefulness to the mind.

Some belief that yoga was started  by Lord Shiva and some believe that it was started by Patanjali but nobody knows who exactly started this, but whom so ever have started this has not only helped his generation but its future generation also. Yoga can be performed by anybody of any age group. The most preferred time to perform yoga is early morning and on a daily basis routine because practicing yoga in the morning gives us positive energy and help to control our tensions and anxiety, making our mind cool to perform our whole day task.

Earlier yoga was an integral part of life but later as time passed people ignored its importance. But to promote yoga and to make people understand its importance our present Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi suggested United Nations General Assembly to declare June 21 as the “International Day of yoga” or world Yoga day in 2014 as this day is the longest day in the northern hemisphere and also had great significance all around the world and this was the first time that the United Nations General Assembly declared 21^st June as International Yoga Day only within three months. People gathered all around the world to celebrate this day. In India, it is celebrated almost like a festival and it’s a proud moment for us that our art of yoga has been accepted all over the world.

In today’s era where life is full of unhealthy stuff, hustle, and hustle, yoga is a great way to keep our body fit and healthy and to resuscitate our body, mind and soul by doing exercises.

The first international yoga day was celebrated on June 21, 2015, and, this year is the fifth international day of yoga with the theme Climate Action which will be celebrated in United Nations with yoga gurus.

There are many benefits of yoga-like it gives our body strength, keep away from medicines also, it gives our body the correct posture and makes us more fit but less fatigue. There are many different parts in our body and by doing yoga we can relax them all.

Yoga helps us develop the inner soul. Today we all know as the technologies and our comfort is increasing, the risk of serious diseases is also increasing but yoga has the power to cure them all. There are many different asanas in yoga which can be very helpful for each and every problem of our body. Yoga is a type of exercise that not only makes us physically fit, mentally healthy but also spiritually strong and help us to develop our positive personality.

In today’s world everything needs money but yoga is a thing where we are spending nothing but gaining many things.

 The government is trying to promote yoga so as we should because there are still many people who don’t know about this priceless medicine. In fact, not only our government but the governments worldwide are trying and had taken many initiatives to promote yoga, like free yoga classes are organized from time to time, lectures to let people know more about yoga, and involving yoga in education are some of the major steps to promote yoga and to influence more and more people to join it.

We can start yoga anytime because there is never too late to start something good like yoga.

The benefits of yoga are uncountable. Yoga provides us with the essence of calmness in our busy schedules. Our great epics and Vedas also tell us about the importance of yoga. And it is also said that the person who involves yoga in their daily schedule makes their schedule free from going to doctors.

The International Day of Yoga is a very important day to make people understand the importance of yoga in today’s world.  The UN International Day Of Yoga logo also symbolizes peace and harmony. The logo is etched on a white background showing two hands joining together to represent the union of individual consciousness with that of universal consciousness, aiming to symbolize a perfect harmony between mind, soul, and body. Below the human art, there are two pairs of brown and green leave representing the elements of earth and nature. The blue figure represents the element of water and the orange halo represents the elements of fire which is above all the energy. Behind the human figure, a picture of the globe can be seen which aim to represent solidarity and oneness.

Moreover, yoga gives us the strength to grow in our life, so, we should also try to grow it more and more.

THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN MAKING INDIA.

THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN MAKING INDIA.

Today science is in every part of our life and the world without science is unimaginable. As science is developing, it is developing the whole world around us, so as India. Science has played a major and vital role in making and developing India. Science has helped India to develop in every field be it agriculture, industrial, pharmaceutical, banking or IT sector.

Almost 70 percent of the population in India is related to agriculture in some or another way but earlier the farming system which was prevalent in India was humdrum. The handwork to gain profit was very much but the result was really not satisfactory. The condition becomes worse when improper rain occurs. One year there was so extreme rainfall that flood occurs, on the other year there was so less rain than drought occurs, all this led to wastage of crops. Many times the condition becomes so worse that the farmers even suicide. These factors create hindrance in the growth of the country. But today as we have advance science technology, the condition is much better. In fact today we have come up with so many advanced techniques that the handwork is less and the output is good, like replacing human labor with machines which are faster and better than us. Proper irrigation systems and technologies to save water have been made. In fact, many states in India have adopted artificial rain techniques to ensure good production of crops proper rain occurs in case.

Today because of our so talented scientists  we are as strong and powerful nations as others. We can go to outer space, research for extraterrestrial lives and all, this is possible because of advancement in science.

Science has also availed people jobs; either in our country or some other parts of the world we can show our talents to develop new scientific discoveries. Science has helped us to look at everything from a better perspective.

We had borrowed some techniques from other parts of the world and implemented it and made some scientific discoveries which had helped all a lot. Our great scientists like Salim Ali, Homi Bhabha, and C.V Raman, etc, have not only helped our country with their great discoveries but the whole world.

Today we have an India which is scientifically improved and technologically advanced. Science has helped us to improve India’s infrastructure, building nations' economy, improving the condition of the import-export market or transport facilities it had helped us everywhere. Today we have improved transport vehicles, fast communication technologies, we can get to know about anything, about anywhere in just a matter of a click. Our doctors can cure severe diseases and save lives too because of improvement in science. Better education can be provided to students. Science has helped us to improve our lifestyle whether it be the use of electrical gas stoves or washing machines etc.

The overall development of India is greatly influenced by science. Science had helped India to reach where it is today and will help it to further develop and be a better place to live.
