TOP 5 ADVANTAGES OF USING NETWORK IN VEHICLES

By analysing the impact internet has made in improving our lives we can think of extending the concept of network furthermore to make living more smooth. Just by thinking out of the box for a while we can stumble upon the idea of applying network to vehicular traffic and see some tremendous advantages.
Oh!!... GEEK STUFFS you might have told yourself by now, don't be in a hurry to hit the close window button because what you are now going to read can be understood and digested totally by a novice person. So.. why not give it a try??

Well if you are reading this line then you might have probably decided to go ahead and read further and I will try my best not to disappoint you. Coming back to our hot topic of vehicular netwroks, you might ask what exactly are vehicular networks?? Well its pretty simple. Right now you are browsing the internet from your pc. You can thus access information and resource stored on other computers through the internet. The reason this is possible is because your computer is connected to other computer via a network. This forms a network of computers. In the same way when vehicles are equipped with infrastructure to form a network we call them vehicular networks.

When vehicles form part of a network they can communicate with other vehicles as well as a base station. Just as the same analogy as your pc and internet. When successfully implemented we account to many uses which make our living smooth safe and easy. So let us see the Top 5 uses of vehicular networks.





1. Speedy treatment at accident spots : Usually when an accident occurs help doesnt arrive until someone reports it; which usually people are afraid to do as they might get into trouble. Instead if vehicular network exists, the victim vehicle can immediately transfer its status and location to base station which will be having a rescue team in stand by. Care should be taken that the network infrastructure should be robust enough to sustain the accident and transmit its status.




2.Locate suspects or auto thefts : Imagine you own a beautiful car and unfortunately it falls prey to some car robbery. You may shrug off your shoulders and say I have a hefty insurance. I agree but what if your car is used for bombing a place or any other immoral activity?? I am sure everyone wants to nab the culprits and punish them. You need not go so far because a vehicle with network can always transmit its status and thus be located. It is to be noted that this is not the discussion of GPS system as its a quiet different topic.




3.Avoid speeding and traffic violation : Many of us might have fallen prey because of other's mistakes on the road.People who violate the rules tend to make such mistakes more. A simple way to handle this is that whenever a traffic rule is violated like sppeding or ignoring signals etc, the vehicle sends its entire details to the base station by which the guilty can be penalised.

4.Dynamic updation of timings : All of us have experienced the trauma of waiting at the bus stop at some point or the other. Public transport tend to be late than the schedule timing. This might be because of the trraffic or any other inevitable cicumstances as a result of which people end up spending a lot of time waiting at the bus stop. On the other hand if public transport vehicles are networked with bus stops, they can dynamically update their exact timing of arrival, thus avoiding unwanted waiting and queues.





5.Aovid Collision : Vehicular Collision is the last thing anybody wants. If vehicles are networked, firmware of each vehicle can communicate with the other maintaining a safe distance and thus avoiding collision. The collision indication may be calculated by speed , distance or any other parameter.




To sum up networking is a vast area filled with resources which when exploited in a good way yeilds innumberable benifits to mankind.

Your abandoned Social Networking Sites- A villa for Hackers !!

Prior to touching the heart of the topic let me tell you a small story. Ben was a happy man who stayed in his bunglow and ran a good business downtown.Everything went on with the same pace until one fine day Ben incurred an immense profit at his work and decided to change his lifestyle. He abandoned his house and moved to a big city to start a new venture.

Ben now had so much of wealth that he didn't feel necessary to rent or sale his former property. Unfortunately after few months some crooks noticed the anarchy at his property and used it for their job. When cops found out that there was something wrong going on there they busted the place and finally busted Ben. Ben inspite of being innocent had to pay heavily for his ignorance.
The scenario of Ben is pretty similar with most of us today. The only difference is that his property is physical and ours, virtual which makes it more easy for a misuse. Many of us sign up for different Social Networking sites. Provide our information and use them for a while, until we find a better one. A most common example is that of people migrating from Orkut to facebook. In doing so people never log in to their previous accounts for months togather; unaware of the status of their profiles in those sites.
Ever imagined how hackers can misuse those accounts for their jobs?? International Intelligence Agencies always track the communication between suspected terrorist groups to learn their moves. This has made the bad guys to switch to other means which might be an abandoned profile. One such profile can be used to threaten someone or to cause a mass viral attack.It can also be used to market some illegal products. If your profile is one among them then ultimately its you who is held responsible.

So what happens to be the solution??

The answer is quite simple. If you are not using an account then you can simply close it.If you do not wish to close it then just visit it once in a while to see what is happening. Remember, Hackers use only inactive accounts because they always carry the risk of being traced. So follow any one of the above steps and stay safe.

The Swag Saga

Things seem much better and comfortable when we stare life through its rare view. Before proceeding ask yourself a question; how would life seem if this comfort level hits a cent percent? Feel exciting? Great! If on the other hand you feel you dont really give a damn on how things are or how they should be, then please hit the red button with cross mark on the upper right hand side on your screen. You can really find better things to do rather than wasting your time reading this. If not then please proceed.

Well! you have opted to read further, then let me describe a scenario to you. All you have to do is to imagine yourself in this scenario. So, here we go.
How about a life where you can keep talking to your friends on the phone without spending a single paisa? You use electricity to its fullest and are not billed at all.The roads on which you drive are better than the beds on which you sleep.Travel anywhere in your city in the public transport without payin a single rupee.The plenteousness of water is such that you may be forced to have a swimming pool in your backyard.Watch a movie with friends and you are required to pay only what you pay for a cup of tea these days; and so on.

So how was the imagination? I know after reading this you have included me in the list of eccentric people you have ever come across. Its expected, but trust me, this imagination can be a reality if you really want it to be. Ever wondered why things are so expensive? Its because of the tax that is levied upon them. You are taxed for everything. You are taxed if you are born,you are taxed if you die,you are taxed if you are live. If you know anything under this sun for which you are not taxed for, then please let me know in the comment box below. So comming back to the talk on tax,I strongly feel we all are being Swagged in the name of tax.

Do you know the tax you pay is used to feed terrorists?? Kasab has become a star overnight and is receving royal treatment for what he has done and the treatment is through your money. To talk about the most debated CWG which incurred a whopping expenditure of Rs50000+ crores all into the kitty and swiss bank accounts of our so called politicians.Just google the salaries of MPs in India, the previlages they enjoy would most probably would'nt be given even to the Kings in the ancient times all from your money. The same money wich you earn working hard.In return they give you scams, The 2G scam, CWG scam,Adarsh scam and the list is endless.

How about a clean system wherein a person takes only what he deserves? You say its impossible? May be true, but even if implemented to a half way you will be not far from the life which you imagined moments ago. Change your perspective, who knows it may bring a reform.
