THE FIRST BIG WIN OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE........

              It was 11th of May 1997. It was the most spectacular and at the same time a controversial chess event in the history of the game in which the world champion in chess Mr. Garry Kasparov had tested the defeat not from another chess player but from a machine developed by IBM called Deep Blue which is a supercomputer.From 1945, the research was going on artificial intelligence but the successful implementation was not really there that would of real help in day to day life.So, it was the first time that human intelligence has to bend the knees before human made machine's artificial intelligence.the big question was how deep blue had beaten the world chess champion?
                             Well, the answer was pretty simple.The speed of Deep Blue having weight of 1.5 tonne and memory of 200 GB  was 133 MHz/sec.It's implementation was basically done on the basis supercomputer. Parallel processing technology was used to make deep blue.Due its 512 processors, deep blue was able to review approximately 20 crores chess positions in just one second and just look at Kasparov! the world champion at the most could think of 2-3 chess positions per second. From this fact, one could easily imagine that to review 20 crores chess positions Kasparov would have taken at least 2 years and in such a case the defeat of Kasparov was already written, one can say without any hesitation from this fact!(watch the video on this link: ‎www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UWMUjLezPk‎)

                                 So, it was the first and biggest win of artificial intelligence(A field which is generally inclined towards the creation of intelligent machines and softwares , also called machine learning) which is just growing and growing day by day and there is no doubt the day is near when the transplantation of human mind into a robot will be easily possible with the help of AI but it can have some adverse effects. It is very difficult but a proper study and research can definitely do the job.

E-COMMERCE INDUSTRY AND OVERWHELMING RESPONSE TO ONLINE SHOPPING FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.....

                        The internet technology is growing day by day and one major contributor to this internet world is e-commerce industry.online banking, domestic and international payment systems,electronic tickets, shopping cart software,teleconferencing or instant messaging, all these things are possible just due to electronic commerce.

                        It is now the most important part of  big  corporate and financial companies as they can now use the internet to exchange financial data to facilitate domestic and international business.its popularity is just increasing as in 2012,e-commerce sales topped $ 1 trillion for the first time in history.

                   

                       Online shopping is the most classic example of advancement of online marketing through internet technology.online shopping has become has become increasingly popular over the past decade.In 2012, U.S. e-commerce sales amounted to 289 billion U.S $ up from 256 billion U.S $. in 2011. The number of U.S. digital shoppers is  expected to grow from 137 million in 2010 to 175 million in 2016 according to e-marketer estimates.that is how the online shopping is the future of e- commerce

                        Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce company that became the biggest online retailer on the planet last year, has invested most of a massive new $206 million funding round in Shop Runner, a rival to Amazon.com.  

                        As part of the deal, eBay sold its 30 percent stake in Shop Runner for a profit, the Wall Street Journal says.

                                               ShopRunner, which offers free two-day shipping on products from thousands of brands, which essentially have their own company store on the service, should be familiar territory for Alibaba. It’s an extremely similar business model to its Tmall service in China, which manages e-commerce operations for thousands of companies in China.                  

     Last year, Alibaba sold or managed the sale of a staggering $157 billion worth of merchandise, including $3 billion on just one day. Yahoo still owns about a quarter of the company, which Marissa Mayer has said she would consider selling to finance Yahoo’s ongoing return to Silicon Valley relevance.

                                              In this the way, the e-commerce and the online markeing and shopping industry is moving ahead and ahead and certainly there is no doubt that the e-commerce giants like amazon, Ebay and Alibaba and the newcomers like Flipkart , jaboong and many others to name and to come will take this e-commerce industry to the special heights in near future.for now, a very happy online shopping!! 

                            

THE RISE OF SHIKHAR DHAWAN FOR INDIA AND HIS STYLISH WAY OF TWIRLING THE MUSTACHES...

         Well, No one can forget the disastrous whitewash done by  England and Australia on their own backyards in 2011-12. Inspite of putting the best team in England and Down under, Indians failed to achieve even a single victory in tests and everyone including famous experts thought that India's cricketing future is bleak, there is  no batsmen who can replace the likes of Sehwag, Dravid, Laxman , Ganguly and obviously Tendulkar.

         But, God plan things beautifully and he send one fearless man in Indian dressing room who now an integral part of Indian Team for each and every series. He is none other but a mustache man Shikhar Dhawan. Definitely, his sublime knock of 187 off just 174 balls in Mohali is just hartening to watch. The way he arrived at crease, the way he went  after the pace attack of australia was just refreshing to see and after becoming the fastest debutant centurian, the way he took off the helmet and received applaud from the audience by twirling the mustaches was enough to take a hint that he is going to be the next one man army of Indian cricket team. From there on, this guy has never stopped. The way he steps out of the crease against the pace bowlers is just stunning to watch. His effective strokeplay has grabbed the attention of the viewers and experts all over the world who follow cricket by close quarters.

               Those strokes, the on-the-walk cover drive and the mid-air upper cuts, he possessed since his pre-teen days. They got him buckets of runs at the U-19 level and fetched him a few centuries in the Ranji Trophy. But international cricket was different, and Dhawan, tortured by his failures, knew it. "If given a chance again, I would like to play my strokes with confidence, without worrying about the situation or the pressure. You see, confidence will get me runs. Runs will get me chances. Chances will give me more confidence."these are his worlds and that is what he has done. His confidence is just amazing and his approach towards the game is positive enough to add many more laurels to his and team's credit.he is definitely an asset for the team now but still there is a long way to go to fill those big voids created by the big people and hopefully, he will definitely fill those voids in his own stylish way.
