11- Digital Twin

A recently developed topic called as DIGITAL TWIN has been introduced and has become popular overnight just because of its perspective to make the technology closer to the humans, and useful to the mankind.

Well, in reality, the term 'twin' is used for humans who are born from the same source and has similar properties like looks, voice or maybe the behaviour. The twins posses nearly same qualities in many places and are easy to identify.

Digital twin refers to a digital replica of physical assets, processes and systems that can be used for various purposes. The digital representation provides both the elements and the dynamics of how an Internet of Things device operates and lives throughout its life cycle.

The digital twin has no source, but it is the similar digital replica of the actual circuit. The best example of this technology is shown in the film IRON MAN! Robert Downey Jr. was shown controlling the robot by simply working on it from his home through the IoT and holographic displays.

The pic above has been formed by implementing the concept of a digital twin. The original image was used to take input and the digital image with all the specification was made. The image shows more data than the actual image.

Now in some case, the person has its digital twin in front of him, which is displayed to him through a holographic display. The sensors i.e motion sensor, heat and humidity sensor, and many more will sense the person, give his health report to him, the disease or its symptoms from the visualities of him. It can even tell the personality of that person through the collected data and help him in his improvements.


The digital twin technology has proved to be a boon for the industrial sector
where the human loss can be considered and proves a higher risk for lives. In various industrial sectors, twins are being used to optimize the operation and maintenance of physical assets, systems and manufacturing processes. They are a formative technology for the Industrial Internet of Things, where physical objects can live and interact with other machines and people virtually.


The world today has the Internet of Things which would be later improvised and updated to digital twin technology which can be the combination of the IoT and display technology. Maybe, you could even use the mobile having the holographic display and even viewing the pics in a 3D views, listening to songs with the high dimensional tracks etc. The technology will even bring humans closer to each other.

19. Impact of COVID-19 on Technology and Cyber Security.

The world is experiencing the economic breakdown and is trying to cope up with basic amenities required for the people to survive. The COVID-19 has even challenged the economy and is affecting all the sectors. Lockdown has proved to be a solution to stop the virus transmission but is affecting the industry. But what are its impacts on technology?  The effects of COVID-19 are having a significant impact on the technology sector, affecting raw materials supply, disrupting the electronics value chain, and causing an inflationary risk on products. More positively, the disruption has caused an acceleration of remote working, and a rapid focus on evaluating and de-risking the end-to-end value chain. In addition, potential carbon emission reductions could result in renewed focus on sustainability practices. This article considers the shifting landscape across a number of areas. The main impact will be on the cybersecurity and even on supply chain. As due to this pandemic s...

17- QR code vs SnapTag

Are you tired of seeing those ugly black and white square blots everywhere you look? Well now there is a solution; SnapTags.  SnapTags are raising the bar for interactive communication. SnapTags work like QR codes but give you much more. Instead of using a 2-D barcode, you now are able to use your very own logo that’s much more visually appealing to the consumer. This branding tool is extremely powerful for initiating consumer engagement at which the consumer is likely triggered by an emotional response. QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. SnapTag provides trackable, device-aware, fully programmable QR codes that can deliver the best experience in any situation, for everyone. How is the look of snaptag? Well, here it is! Sample model This look is the basic snaptag model of this blog. This tag can be...

18- Basics of Telecommunication

Ever wondered what actually is Telecom? What are its components? How they work? Read below for the same. What is Telecom? Telecommunications ("telecom") is a general term for a vast array of technologies that transmit and receive voice, data, and video information over varying distances through electronic means. The utilization of these networks and technologies varies greatly from organization to organization and may include:     Local, long distance, and toll-free voice traffic     Internet access     Video conferencing     LAN's and WAN's     Call centres     Converged networks (voice, data, wireless) How do mobile phones work? Mobile phones operate within a network based on services which are provided by Telecommunications Service Providers (TSPs). In short, mobile phones search for signals in order to operate. This is enabled through cell towers, which are cellular telephone sites w...
