Information Technology taking a new shape by shedding the traditional look and looks to be more intelligent than being just Client/Server or Web based models. Its important that the Engineers get rid of just the programming type into being mathematical driven programmer thus making your program much more intelligent.
Today, computer systems have gained tremendous processing capacity which can process millions of records in matters of seconds. Earlier it was all limited to Super computers but today even the smallest handheld smartphone is featuring 8GB RAM. The first Desktop which I used in 2003 was having 256MB RAM, this shows the tremendous increase in processing speed thus enabling the engineers to think the unthinkable.
Machine learning and AI have taken over the discussions at all the forums,bus stops,railway stations,coffee breaks etc etc. Few are filled with fear and few with hopes of better world. Today the WORLD MAY BE FLAT from globalization angle but its NOT FLAT from inclusiveness thus making it necessary for the governments to bring better services, better life for its citizens. Machine Learning and AI have the capability to bring this inclusiveness. Developing countries are yet to tap the Internet boom, the moment they enter the Internet there would be huge data which can be analyzed to fix various problems.
Governments are spending billions to digitize their systems collecting huge data about the government programs as well as citizens.
Its necessary that government in developing countries must think in economical way while implementing their programs due to lack of money power. Its here that few well implemented digitization programs can bring huge data regarding its programs and by using Machine Learning data can be analyzed and bring changes to the programs thus saving the leakages and ensuring that the targeted people get the service.
There are fears being played around in all the circles fearing loss of jobs and machines taking over. These are not completely true as its impossible to completely replace an human being but its possible that there are few simple tasks being automated. This is unavoidable as the humanity moves from one generation to other generation.There were fears when computers were introduced but today its all computers and nobody complains. Even if there is huge impact from the jobs perspective, the technological changes can never be avoided. These can be delayed but can not be denied from the mainstream for a longer period of time.
Scientific fictions show us the war between humans and aliens as the humans try to take over the aliens land. We may not know one day we would catch up with aliens and they might be much more advanced than us.
Robotics can bring huge change and may result in job loss but still there needs a person to repair it.
Humans are becoming smarter and smarter so it may lead to such a time where the humans are so free that they can do whtever they want and have lot of free time and just roam around only for food. Going back to old days ?? ;)
