The Mars and Venus syndrome

Before I read an article which, I, almost have reproduced here, I really had no idea of the phrase, "Men are from Mars and women are from Venus!".

Read on to know what's the matter!  

MEN THINK IN BOXES AND WOMEN IN CONTINUUM: A woman experiences life as a continuum where every moment is connected. Therefore when she encounters a conflict in a relationship, a woman wants to stay and talk about it. When she is not listened to, she does not feel valued. She cannot move from one problem to another experience without the earlier one being resolved. In contrast, men think in boxes. It is like they have opened one box this moment, closed it the next minute and opened another.

RECOUNTING PAIN: When you share a painful experience, a woman may also share a similar experience that she has had. Her thought in sharing the experience is to convey that she understands the pain. A man will also narrate his experience in a similar situation but his focus and pride will be on how quickly he got out of the pain.

MEN TALK IN GENERAL AND WOMEN IN DETAILS: When you ask a man how he feels, he may give a vague answer and say that there are some difficulties. He is looking for solutions and wants to be left alone till he finds a way out. Whereas, a woman will want to share in detail how she feels, what made her feel that way etc. She dwells on the experience and expects her partner to be listen.

Men look at moving out of an experience quickly and finding solutions. This is to avoid feeling vulnerable when encountering conflicts. Women want to express their vulnerabilities and be understood. They want to be listened to, and given attention when they are sharing their experience.

Knowing such information helps in understanding the difference between the nature of men and women. The responses, which are the basis of complaints like the one given at the column’s beginning, are not to be looked at as against each other, but part of one’s nature.

Are You Suffering From Nomophobia???! Well! 'm not!

Nomophobia is the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. The term, an abbreviation for "no-mobile-phone phobia", was coined during a study by the UK Post Office who commissioned YouGov, a UK-based research organization to look at anxieties suffered by mobile phone users. 
"It’s not real until a TV news organization throws a label on it. Nomophobia, according to MSNBC, is the fear of being without your mobile phone, and wouldn’t you know it, it’s on the rise.
The story says that cellphone use is either a healthy way of staying connected or a dangerous obsession. According to a survey cited in the story, 66 percent of people responded with a fear of being without their mobile phones.
The story cites a few particularly sad cases, including a woman who even takes her phone to bed with her (my phone has my alarm on it, so I do this too). She says that she only has real conversations with her child over Facebook and the phone (an improvement over the classic parenting problem of barely talking to your kids at all). She takes it to the shower, she takes it to the bathroom, and reading this article is meant to make you feel that you’re just like her.
It’s hard to pin this on the device itself, though. For me, it’s more the knowledge that I deal with people in different time zones, that speed is essential to my job, and I want to know what people have to say to me, when they say it. It’s a symptom of the oft-cited interconnected world of which I, as a blogger, have become an unwitting apostle. It’s also a nervous tic – don’t know what to do with your hands, check your phone.
Nomophobia is an example of displacing blame onto technology. Blame the phone, not the anxiety or obsessive disorders that make you feel compelled to check it all the time. Phones have a way of bringing out the worst in people like the woman in the article, or me. But in the end, it’s all just a reflection of your own problems." SIC FORBES

Maybe it is wrong to call this a phobia.
For a phobia is generally an 'irrational fear', and that pang of anxiety when you are without your mobile in this brave new connected world is perhaps an understandable feeling.
But either way, for 66 per cent of us, being with your phone at all times is an obsession that occupies every waking minute.
If you think you may suffer from nomophobia - or 'no mobile phone phobia' - then the warning signs are:

• An inability to ever turn your phone off
• Obsessively checking for missed calls, emails and texts
• Constantly topping up your battery life
• Being unable to pop to the bathroom without taking your phone in with you.

The number of people afflicted with nomophobia was revealed in a study by SecurEnvoy, and shows a rise from a similar study four years ago, where 53 per cent of people admitted the fear of losing their phone.
In the latest study, of the 1,000 people surveyed in the UK, 66 percent said they felt the fear.
Young adults - aged between 18 and 24 - tended to be the most addicted to their mobile phones, with 77 per cent unable to stay apart for more than a few minutes, and those aged 25 to 34 followed at 68 per cent.

Power of Human Mind

According to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn’t matter in what order the ltteers in a word are, the only ipormoetnt thing is that the frist and lsat ltteers be at the rghit pclae.

The rset can be a total mses and ou can still raed it without problem. This is because human mind does not read every letter, but word as a whole, just like you did now!!!

3G Technology Today & Tomorrow

Cellular technology has progressed tremendously since its invention. With the first cellular telephone networks, developed by Bell Labs and AT&T, cellular technology began to make leaps forward in ease of use, voice quality, and data communication. The miracle of technology we know today as the cellular phone was made possible by a steady stream of innovation that continues on into the future 3G technology, the current standard in cellular service, improved cellular service even more. On the network side, it was even more efficient than 2G and allowed much faster data connections that approached broadband speeds. It also allowed a consumer to use both voice and data features on their phones at the same time.

However, the march of technology goes ever forward, and now thee is a fourth generation of cellular technology just over the horizon. Unlike previous generations of cellular network technology, 4G is not designed around voice services but is designed around the internet. It will also do away with many of the cellular network incompatibilities between carriers and countries. It have blazing fast data speeds starting at 100Mbps (approximately DSL speed), and top out at 1Gbps (approximately LAN speed). It is designed to be used with both mobile phones and static computers.

Unlike today, most US and international cellular carriers will use the same network standard that is called Long Term Evolution (LTE).

The developments in cellular technology promise a worldwide network of mobile voice and data communication like we’ve never seen before. Imagine a broadband connection to the internet and crystal clear calls anywhere you go. 
Get ready for 4G.!!!

Science & Religion

We all agree that the universe we live in has been intelligently planned. We take the help of science as well as religion to explain the same. Science, like religion, requires faith. We make so many assumptions to explain various phenomena in nature. We believe that the laws of physics are reliable—that’s a kind of faith. We set up experiments that can test and verify these laws.

 

Science attempts to understand how the universe works. Religion attempts to understand the purpose and meaning of the universe. Science has many inconsistencies. Even the general theories of relativity and quantum mechanics are not consistent with each other. Yet we think each one of them is correct. So too in religion; science does not allow free will like religion.

 

Consider the subject of revelation. It is part of the history of religion. But there are revelations in science too, except that a revelation ‘is not called a revelation, but it is called an idea, a flash of genius, a new invention’.

The more we understand about science and religion, the greater is the possibility of bringing the two streams of thoughts closer together for the better understanding of the universe.
