ADA LOVELACE

 ( English mathematician and writer )



Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (née Byron; 10 December 1815 - 27 November 1852) was an English mathematician and writer, mainly renowned for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She presented the first algorithm designed to be executed by such a computer and was the first to realise that the machine had uses beyond simple calculation. She is frequently considered as the first computer programmer as a result.

Ada added an elaborate set of notes, simply titled "Notes," to a Luigi Menabrea paper about the Analytical Engine that was translated by him between 1842 and 1843. Lovelace's notes are crucial in the early history of computers, containing what many regard to be the first computer program—that is, an algorithm designed to be carried out by a machine. Some historians disagree with this viewpoint and point out that the initial programming for the engine may be found in Babbage's own notebooks from the years 1836 and 1837. While many others, including Babbage himself, were just interested in the ability of computers to perform calculations and number crunching, she also created a vision of how they could do more than that.

Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning

  Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning  The roots of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are deep, tracing back to the mid-20th century. Alan Turing, a notable figure in the development of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, posed the question "Can machines think?" back in 1950. This ignited the spark that fuelled decades of innovation. The term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined by John McCarthy for the 1956 Dartmouth Conference, the first academic conference of its kind. Machine Learning, on the other hand, made its debut in the late '50s when Arthur Samuel developed a program that could learn to play checkers. Fast forward to the 21st century, we've witnessed the evolution from rule-based systems to machines that can learn from vast datasets and even from their own experiences. The milestones are numerous, from IBM's Deep Blue defeating world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997 to the advent of deep learning w...

           5G and Beyond 5G network have evolved to improve mobile broadband services by increasing communication speeds, reducing latency, and improving reliability. SK Telecom, the largest mobile operator in South Korea, launched the World’s First commercial 5G service, in April 2019. Today, there were 127,50 deployments in 128 countries as of Nov 30,2022. India launched its first 5G network in Oct 2022, making one of the most rapid nationwide 5G network deployment in the world. Moreover, India’s 5G network ranks among the top-performing networks globally. 5G is designed to do a variety of things that can transform our lives, faster download speeds, more capacity and connectivity for billions of devices-especially in the area of virtual reality (VR), the IOT, and AI.  It generating 22.3 million jobs in the 5G global value chain alone. In India, 5G telecom networks are expected to represent nearly 2% of GDP by 2030. The 5G sector will generate revenue...

STEVEN PAUL JOBS  (Cofounder of Apple Computer, Inc. (now Apple Inc) From February 24, 1955, to October 5, 2011, Steven Paul Jobs was an American businessman, industrial designer, media mogul, and investor. He was Pixar's majority shareholder as well as Apple's co-founder, chairman, and CEO. After Pixar was acquired by The Walt Disney Company, he was also the chairman and majority shareholder of that company, as well as the founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. He is widely acknowledged as one of the pioneers of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with Steve Wozniak, who was also a co-founder of Apple and an early business colleague of his. In 1985, Jobs was expelled from Apple after a prolonged power struggle with the board of directors and the company's then-CEO, John Sculley. Furthermore, he contributed to building the special visualizations industry when he financed the PC designs division of George Lucas' Lucasfilm in 1986. The first 3D com...
