Artificial Intelligence 

A machine gaining an artificial brain

Artificial Intelligence or AI(as most people prefer to say) can be defined as the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and copy their actions. In simple words, a way of making a robot or computer act and think like a human being. Us humans learn from experience, machines with AI can also do that. Video games can be an example where AI is most commonly used, where the computer is made to act like another player. Even though AI is a huge achievement and an advantage for Human life, some people consider AI to be a danger to humanity if it progresses without any limit.

Types of AI

• Reactive machines: These AI have no memory and are task specific.
  
• Limited memory: These AI systems have memory, so they can use past experiences to inform future decisions.
• Theory of mind: This type of AI will be able to understand human intentions and predict behavior, which is a necessary skill for AI systems to become complete members of human teams.
• Self-awareness: AI systems of this category will have a sense of self, which gives them consciousness. Machines with self awareness will understand their own current state. This type of AI could pose a threat against humanity, if it ever exists.

Some points on the importance/uses of AI :

• AI converts repetitive(boring) learning and discovery through data.
• AI can do all risky things for us humans.
• AI is available 24/7.
• AI takes faster decisions.
• AI adds intelligence to existing products.
• AI adapts through progressive learning algorithms to let the data do the programming.

Uses of AI in different fields/areas/things :

• Security and Surveillance
• Sports and Activities
• Manufacturing and Production
• Video games
• Transportation 
• Healthcare
• Virtual Assistant
• Retail, Shopping and Fashion
• E-commerce 

Amazon Alexa 

Google Home

Google Assistant on Android mobile devices

These are some of the popular AI or Virtual AI devices.

Some facts about AI : 

• Most AI bots are female.
• Some products people buy are being suggested by AI.
• Stephen Hawking thinks AI will make a lot of jobs disappear.
• Humans are smarter than any type of AI, for now.
• By 2021, 80% of emerging technologies will have AI foundations.
• The wearable Artificial Intelligence market will reach $180 billion by 2025.
• China plans to use Artificial Intelligence to gain Global Economic Dominance by 2030.
• Microsoft is infusing AI into everything they deliver across computing platforms and experiences.
• The Artificial Intelligence of Google is much smarter than Siri's, according to three Chinese researchers.
• In 2017 Facebook researchers shut down AI bots after they started talking to each other in their own language unknown to humans.
• Everyday we are getting close to an era when AI robots might demand rights just like humans, which might cause a war between robots and humans.

• Online courses are available any time (for almost 24 hrs) to any student with a computer or any device and Internet access.
• Online students can study right from their homes, saving time, gas etc. i.e they don't need to walk to school and be late.
• Online education often costs less than regular method of learning.
• Online education feels like a new way of getting knowledge, studying from home almost makes it a whole new experience.
• Online education helps students get more knowledge about technical stuff by the daily use of electronic devices for online study.

• Learning through the internet is not sufficient as face-to-face interaction is not possible.
• During online tests students can easily cheat for they are in their territory and its impossible for teachers to figure it out.
• Connection problem can be a huge issue especially in the middle of an online class as many important lectures can be missed by the students.
• Due to connection problems or slow internet audio and video problems can occur or students can just lie to their teachers about having internet issues and disable the video or audio.
• Many students don't have internet access at their home which makes it harder for them to get online education.

TEEJ

Teej is celebrated by Nepalese and Indian Hindu women, who fast, worship lord Shiva and perform different musical activities all over the country.

Teej is a generic name for a number of festivals that are celebrated in Nepal, Northern and Western India. In Haryana, Haryali Teej is celebrated on the third day of the bright half of the Lunar month of Shraavana. Haryali means 'green', which refers to the lush plant growth, that the welcome rains of the monsoon season brings to the region. Teej celebrates the beginning of monsoon following the hot summer months. Teej refers to the third day that falls every month after the new moon, and the third day after the full moon night of every month.

During Teej Festival, Nepalese women will dress in their beautiful red saris, fast to honor Lord Shiva and pray for a happy marriage. The festivals of Teej are primarily dedicated to Goddess Parvati and her union with Lord Shiva. Nepali Teej Festival is the first grand festival coming at the end of the rainy season. At that time, the sky is clear and sunshine is cozy. Women celebrate Teej by dancing, singing, getting together with friends and telling stories. Only females receive a public holiday for this festival.
