Apple finds a new path for itself

When we hear the name of tech giant Apple, the first thing that strikes is Steve Jobs. Beginning with desktop systems, Apple moved towards smartphones market and the highlight was that the company clearly understood the future of Entertainment, apps and other content. But the competitors realized the potential later and Apple revolutionized the smart phone industry with its new innovations. 

Apple has tough competition in the smartphone industry. According to market analyzers, Apple has come to standstill in smartphone market and the bigger question for Apple is to break through this and it is touted that because of the same Apple is entering to new sector and carve a place for itself. Looks like Apple’s move towards acquiring startup Glimpse is a step towards the same.

# The reason for Apple to acquire startup Glimpse

To make a mark for itself in the health sector, Apple has acquired startup Glimpse. according to latest news updates ,this is a recent acquisition by Apple. But still there has been no public announcement about the same by the tech giant. The startup Glimpse is founded by two Indians namely Anil Sethi and Karthik Hariharan in the year 2013. This company not only keeps the health related records of their customers but also provides information about the same from time to time.

On iphone 6, Apple has a health kit app and it helps the users to get their health related records on the go. Just a few months back, Apple had also acquired few small companies like Care Kit, Research Kit and others. These companies provide health related statistics to patients, doctors and researchers via cell phones.

Talking about the same, a speaker of Apple said that we have been acquiring small tech companies from time to time. Generally, we don’t want to talk about our strategy and intention for a particular step.

With Apple acquiring Glimpse one thing is clear that Apple is trying to attract the audience in health and fitness sector. Also with this move, Apple will be moving to a different sector all together.

#The main reason for Apple to enter the Health Sector

According to a latest news report, Health sector in America is worth 3 arab dollars. This is a clear indication why these big tech giants like Google, Apple are interested with healthcare sector. In 2014 Apple’s CEO Tim Cook had announced a new product ‘Apple watch’. This watch made its presence in market in 2015 and this helped customers to track their health, fitness. To create a strong hold in the market Apple launched Health Kit App in Iphone 6.

According to ABI Research, this year mobile healthcare industry will be worth 400 crore dollars. Taking in consideration the future growth aspect of Health sector industry, Apple and its competitors like Google, IBM, Samsung has entered the market. Even Amazon and Facebook plan to venture the same in near future.

Some more reasons for the acquisition:

Apple for first time has seen low in 13 years in revenue. We all know that 25 crore dollar is not a big amount for the tech giant but it is a matter of concern for Apple to take the next step. Just beginning of the year Apple had announced that for first time sales of smartphones has seen a fall.  With this Apple lost its title of most valuable company to new company Alphabet.

This clearly shows the moves of the tech giant into a sector which I yet to be explored. Smart, isn’t it!

India: Caught Short, Why?

Indian Economy and Development is totally dependent on upcoming generation as children are touted to be future of the nation. India aims to be one of the top developed countries in the World but after the Water Aid report, an international non-profit organization, you will be shocked to core!

The survey mentions that in India, there are ‘n’ numbers of stunted children and there is big difference between the height, given the factors of weight and age. Many children do not have particular weight of height according to their age and this is concerning aspect for the nation.

Compared to all the countries across the Globe, India is on the first place to have highest number of stunted children. According to Water Aid organization, some of the factors that play a crucial role in stunted height are lack of purified water, no proper sanitation, and lack of nutrition. Across the Globe, 159 million children under the age of five are stunted one in four children. But in India, it is every 5 children, 2 are stunted.

Situation of Children:-

If India’s population is considered 125 crores, then according to present calculation approximately 16 crore population in India is occupied by children under 5 years, out of which 4 cr and 80 lakh children do not have proper height according to age or weight.
Almost 7 cr 60 lakh kids do not have basic facility of hygienic drinking water. Due to the same, every year almost 1 lakh 40 thousand children are prone to Diarrhea.

As per live news report, almost 60% of children in India face sanitation issues and India is ranked amongst first countries to have lack of sanitation, Nigeria on the second place and Pakistan on third position. 

The report also mentions that according to a recent study suggests that 54% of international variation in children’s height can be linked to open defecation, which spreads deadly diseases and makes children more susceptible to diarrhoeal illness and infection. India has made progress on reducing child stunting, from 48% of all children in 2006 to 39% in 2014.

United Nations Organisations (UNO) Millennium Targets:-

When will India achieve its goals?

Compared to China, Brazil, Vietnam, Thailand, India has more number of stunted children. The above countries are looking after proper nutrition of their countrymen and also making sure that each one gets basic necessities. But if India goes at this pace, then India will be free of stunted children only by 2043.

According to the latest news updates India loses almost 3% of GDP which is a big amount on stunted children, if adequate actions are taken then India can definitely erase the issue of stunted children, thus save a big amount from the economy and take a step towards developed country.

Aliens: Still a mystery!

There has been a lot of buzz about some creatures found on other planet. But no one knows the reality. Scientists and researchers have been working on the same to know if Aliens actually exist. It was recently said that scientists are claiming that an alien life form might exist on Titan, the largest of Saturn moons. The bigger question is how do we communicate and find exactly if they exist or not?

Do alien exist or no?

In a way we are all aliens but we can’t call ourselves as the same as we belong to the same planet. But yes, we are aliens to creatures on other planet. The funny part is in spite of being on the same planet earth; we have not in depth understood language of animals or other creatures.
Since the year 1947, there have been many incidents that have occurred that mark the existence of Aliens. One of the biggest one was the Roswell incident. From then nearly 70,000 incidents have occurred between 1952 to 1969 and approximately 12,000 UFO’s are seen by people across the World.
There was a time when NASA scientists took permission from court to conduct a lie detection test on almost 25,000 people but amazingly 90 % people said the same during the procedure. Thus, proving the existence of Aliens.
Since 1970’s NASA’s scientists are researching in depth but till date the result is awaited.
Past seven and half decades, existence of aliens is a million dollar question. Yuri Milner, a Russian billionaire and also physics scientist was keen to know about aliens and for the same he approached Britain Scientist as well as NASA Scientists. By then NASA has come up with a project called SETI to trace the aliens. Later Urvi miller started his dream project Breakthrough Listen along with London scientists.
Last year, NASA found some living creatures in moon, venus, mars and titam, biggest moon of planet Saturn. According to analyzers, “If such information is available with NASA, it has to be communicated with SETI- wing of NASA too. But unfortunately it is not done. If it’s done then, it becomes easy to trace aliens.”

Behind the story:-

On earth, many changes happen almost every day in atmospheric condition. People living in different parts of world have different complexions, body type etc. Similarly even the creatures differ according to the countries.
According to researchers, “We know that Dolphins are more intelligent than humans. Being on the same planet, we humans are not able to understand what they speak so how can we communicate with Aliens. Also the bigger question is that no one knows how aliens look.”
Existence of methane gases prove that a living creature exist on a particular planet. According to scientific research all living beings eliminate methane gas.
Scientists have said that the advanced technology Spectroscopic used by NASA is not up to mark. It is said that if the equipment is placed on other planet it reflects that no a living beings are present in solar system but that’s not true. Earth has various types of living creatures.
So the analyzers are now asking to focus on latest equipment, technology, and way to communicate with Aliens. Thus, taking the next step towards the hunt for Aliens.

It’s time to celebrate Youth Day!

It is said that flowing water will always be fresh but stagnant water will have nothing new to offer. Today’s generation is like fresh flowing water. Full of enthusiasm, courageous, goals oriented and have more patience, these qualities define the young generation of today and because of these, they are easily absorbed in any working environment.

United Nations Organization (UNO) branch of Economic and social affairs survey states that these days there are some changes in thinking pattern of young generation regarding jobs.

Every youngster after completion of studies in poor and developing countries is looking forward to take the responsibility of feeding the family and get respect in society. They are achieving the same by securing a job.

According to latest survey, across the globe nearly 7 Cr 30 lakh youngsters (aged 14-35) do not have job. Just a few days back in UP, India there was a news that for a sweepers job, many youths have applied. The shocking part is those included Degree and PG students.  This clearly shows India’s no-job situation.

In India, nearly 35cr, 60 lakh youngsters (aged 10-24) are looking for an apt job. The big question is, for this big number it is not only difficult to find an apt job but also to know if he/she possesses the required skill for the job? Off late, Government has also launched number of schemes for job opportunity but they don’t seem to be performing that great.

Everyone is assuming that India will face a difficult situation ahead but that’s not true. UNO gives a ray of hope in the darkness.

Employee- Owners same- same?

Employers offer and employees accept or deny the offer, that was the thinking which was nurtured in youth but now it is slowly changing. As per UNO report and Software company Delloite’s survey, the latest news is that among 29 countries across the globe nearly 7800 young employees are keen to start their own business. This is a good sign for the future.

The best part is the youth is able to implement at the pace of their thinking abilities. If it’s their company then the ownership automatically flows in, thus making them independent. The startup are making news headlines today. Even if they are the owners of the company, they are still working as employees of their company. Thus the owner- employee is same-same!

According to Wall Street Journal Survey, till date worldwide 149 private startup companies got 100 Cr profit each in first quarter of 2016. This sum is almost equal to one wing of a multinational company. The highlight is the startup companies are driven by age group of 25-34 years.

Many MNC’s these days are boosting startups in the best possible way.

Interesting Facts:

-         In upcoming decade, in developing countries there would be need for 60 Cr jobs but currently only 10 % of the same is fulfilled.

-         In Developing countries, 82% of youngsters wish to do their own business but in Developed countries only 52% is thinking of the same.

-         Compared to old adults, youth is 1.6 times keen to start a startup company.
