Save your fingers from mobile phones

Almost all the gadgets of the present day require use of fingers (specially thumb) for their operation. The most frequently used gadget today is the mobile phone. Since the mobile phones now have variety of features in them we may boast of having entire world in our finger tip. Quoting a saying in Kannada “ಅತಿಯಾದರೆ ಅಮೃತವೂ ವಿಷ” the extensive use of anything will be harmful. Even though there is dilemma about whether mobile radiations affect human body or not, there is no doubt in the fact that excessive use of mobile affects our fingers. The problem is severe with the use of non-touch screen phones. The excessive use of thumb for different operations like messaging, browsing, playing etc. will result in a problem called blackberry thumb syndrome. Blackberry thumb is a type of repetitive strain injury which is caused due to high stress on fingers and is similar to carpal tunnel syndrome. It is advisable and easier to prevent it in earlier stages rather than in advanced stages which may require surgery. Early symptoms are smaller itching or pain in joints when you use your mobile for extended duration. Preventive methods are using a touch screen phone if you can afford, as many cheaper touch screen phones are available nowadays. Otherwise you can reduce the use of your present mobile phone by avoiding typing long messages and make use of shortcuts wherever possible. Giving rest to your fingers is very important when you feel finger is strained. You can release the strain by dipping your fingers in warm water for few minutes. Massaging the finger or doing some exercises may also prove useful. I hereby request all mobile phone users not to spoil your fingers for just few minutes of fun.

Watching programs(specially movies) on TV and time management

Nowadays TV channels display lot of advertisements during their programs. The advertisements will be more if it is a new movie or a program with higher TRP. I always used to get frustrated to wait for the advertisements to finish as it extends for a long duration. If I change the channel, I had to check once in a while to check whether the program/movie has resumed. Recently, after a lot of observations I have found out that TV channels a pattern in displaying advertisements. They set a fixed duration for advertisements and programs, for example 8 minutes of movie and 6 minutes of advertisements or any other pattern. This will be almost constant till the end of movies. We can check for the pattern during the first half-an-hour of the movie when the first break comes and ends. Then we can exactly tell at what time the next advertisement break comes and it ends. So, we need not wait or check once in a while to determine if advertisements have ended or not and we can directly tune into the channel exactly when the advertisement break ends. This idea works well in most of the cases except some such as a news headlines in middle. That's all for today. Enjoy watching TV without getting frustrated. Hope you enjoyed my post. Please comment your ideas on it.

Punarjanma

When I read an article related to punarjanma in Taranga last week my mind got a new theory related to it. I would like to share it today with you. This is just for fun. It was written in the article that every living being has a soul and soul never dies. Each living being take birth as a new living being when it dies. I also read that the living beings take re-birth as that particular living being which it thinks/dreams of during its death. Then I got a nice theory for the population explosion in the present world. Most of the non-human living beings are dying because of humans directly or because of our activities. So they always think about humans while dying and take re-birth as human which results in increase of human population which further results in killing of other living beings and it adds up to population explosion. By applying a small modification of newton's law i.e. "Soul can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only be transferred from on body to another" we can say that population explosion will stop when all the other living beings are extinct and entire world population is human.

           Attachment: I have a suggestion to avoid extinction of existing species or to re bring the extinct species to earth. We can do this by just forcing the dying people to think about those species which are already extinct or soon be extinct. Along with conservation of species we can control human population.

Human Being as source of electricity

Self-inspired by my previous post, I am posting one more post on electricity generation. In the present day human beings are used as a source of electricity indirectly i.e. by using the physical energy of the human. Simplest example is the dynamo in the bicycle. We also know that scientists have found out a way to use heat energy from human body in small amounts. We all know that brain communicates through nervous system with the help of bio electric signals. My idea is to convert these signals to suitable form such that we can use it re-charge the mobile phone,mp3 player..etc or to use as source of power for an LED torch. It might be difficult since the source is very weak and supply is not regular. But, no-one can predict its purely impossible. Most important thing is that care should be taken so that it should not disturb the actual job which the neural signal does. An alternative I suggest is that we can develop an artificial system after thoroughly studying the chemical and electrical properties f the neural signals so that the system can generate power in larger quantities.

Electricity generation

In modern days most of the world's electricity is generated using different forms of energy to run the turbines and also using solar panels. But I suggest it is time for the researchers to think beyond all this and a develop new methods of generating electricity.
One of my own ideas is generating electricity using vibrational energy.We all know that electricity is due to movement of charged particles. If we can find any substance that is very sensitive to vibrations we can generate electricity just by exposing the object to any source of vibration. Source of vibration are readily available these days such as if u keep the electricity generating equipments near busy streets u will get plenty of vibrational energy. The ideas mentioned in this post might be vague but surely has some innovative idea.
