One Big Roller Coaster

The Evolution of Technology from Stone Tools to Quantum Computing- Part 2

 

Quantum computers are advanced machines inspired by quantum physics. They operate by studying and controlling the behavior of atoms and particles, which is completely different from a regular computer. Although it as an upgraded and advanced version of the computers we use regularly, is not exactly the next generation computer. Meaning, you cannot build a better table just by adding more and more tables together. In the same way, it is not possible to build a quantum computer just by adding classical computers together. A classical computer performs operations using classical bits which can be either zero or one. In contrast, quantum computer uses quantum bits or qubits which can be both zero and one at the same time. 

Let’s say you’re playing a game of flip the coin on your computer. In this case, there is a 50% chance that either if you will win. The computer will take heads and tails as bits of zero and one and depends on only these two results. On the other hand, a quantum computer also has these possibilities including a possibility of a mixture of both heads and tails, both zero and one with some portion of zero and some portion of one. Due to do this uncertain possibility, your chance of losing shall increase. Whether you choose heads or tails, the outcome will still be there between both possibilities, just like a mixture of sand and rocks. Even though the portion of sand is very little in that mixture, you can’t say that it’s not there. This property of superposition empowers the mesmerizing concept of quantum computers.

 Just like the other technological transformations around the world, quantum computers have the potential to impact our lives in numerous ways including security and healthcare. They can be used to create private keys for encrypting messages from one location to another. It will not be possible to copy the unique an unbreakable key of quantum uncertainty. This functioning is already tested by some global companies and is connected to over 17 billion devices globally. Although it is still under research work, quantum computing is the future of our coming generations.

A Brief Dive into Programming

To New Beginnings

Admittedly, computer skill is indeed the new norm of literacy. Needless to mention, almost every profession nowadays needs a basic grasp of computers. Automation, social media marketing, e-commerce, GIS and remote sensing, big data, and many more are IT-based that are administered by professionals with intermediate to advanced IT skills. Among these, programming or coding is the element that allows users to communicate with machines and computers. It blends logical thinking with creativity to develop something that makes life easier and much more pleasurable. 

Programming can be easy to get the basics while being quite challenging to master it.  Coding might be puzzling at the beginning due to the different learning styles and techniques taken by others. The best way to tackle this problem is by crafting one’s own curriculum based on the type of learner one is. Following that, they may begin fishing in the enormous sea of resources. Not to add, remaining focused on developing one skill before moving on to the next is critical in learning how to code. Having far too many ideas simultaneously can be distracting and demotivating. 

There is a common perception that somewhere out there exists an ideal language for beginners in programming; this is in fact not true. A programming language is basically a tool that IT people use to code instructions for computers to operate. A web developer believes that JavaScript is the best-suited language for a newbie to learn. A data scientist favors Python over any other language. A game developer can be a big fan of C++. But, at the end of the day, what matters is what you’re attempting to do with your instrument. Loops, conditionals, functions, and other fundamental programming principles are all the same. The distinction is primarily syntactical. 

Although there are a lot of perks to becoming a qualified programmer, one must always update his or her competencies to keep up with the fast-changing competing world. In fact, there is a huge demand for programmers worldwide, which has resulted in an exponentially expanding number of people entering the industry. Because the competition is fierce, one must develop a cheerful attitude, task management skills, rapid learning capacity, and the ability to work well in a team to succeed.
