UPGRADE YOUR BODY

BRAIN :
When you 'think' there is electrical activity in the brain. It can be taken out using electrodes,amplified and can be used to control a robotic arm. So doing things at the speed of thought is possible.

SPINAL CORD:
Even today, people are getting artificial replacements of spinal cord. It will be improved further. It may aid paralytic patients to walk again in future.
LUNGS:
"Extra corporal membrane oxygenation" ECMO, a artificial lung which can be carried in a backpack is already available. It functions like real lung and stays outside the body.

KIDNEYS:
We know, dialysis machines does the work of kidneys from outside the body. Also kidney transplant are taking place- but the wait is long. Research to make artificial kidney is in progress.

GENES:
Creating genetically modified human being is possible. But it has so many ethical issues. 'Cloning' is the starting points in this direction. We do not know what the future holds. Man may play God?

EYES:
We have spectacles, google glasses and reality devices. Smart contact lens is on the way. It can record images at the blink of the eye. It can produce smart overlays which can help in shopping and driving in low visibility.

EARS:
Modern hearing aid is very sleek and invisible. The cochlear implants bypass the damaged ear parts and electronically simulates the hearing nerve and make hearing possible.

HEART:
Researches to make artificial hearts are underway around the world. If one is produced successfully, it will be the monumental achievement in medical technology.

LIVER:
We now have artificial liver which can work from outside the body. It just only supports some functions of the liver. We have not yet fully understand the working of the liver. Hence we are not able to make a suitable substitute for it. But with progress of time, anything may be possible-like moon landing.

SKELETON:
Without replacing the bones within the body, one can use exo- skeleton which may help paralyzed persons and elderly people. One can enhance its functions using powered exo-skeleton.
Tomorrow, many of our body parts can be replaced by machines, enhancing our life and improving our longevity. But ethics, morality, humanitarian values should not be replaced.

Your heart -you do not know

Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

One cannot think of a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' . It balances right hand side and left hand side. It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B) = C 2A+2B = C 2A = C-2B A = C-2B/ 2 In an electronic calculator, the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression or simply calculates. In computer languages, it plays very important role. A = B When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A . After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

How it works-1 An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
