I don’t know why I am writing this post. BUT yeah I want people to know how important our health is!! I will be writing few things against computer but that doesn’t mean I am against it.
I know computer reduces human effort but it is not a HUMAN BEING.
Human body is so very well organised that no other things in the world can beat it. YES!! Not even computer which has been developed so much in the recent years. No wonder that it’s still improving but can’t beat human body in its perfection( I am talking about human body and its functions NOT about a human being. There is loads of difference
)
Human body can think on its own and do whatever it wants whereas computers works only to our command. Human brain can store a huge amount of memory where no hard disk can and yeah there is no such thing called limited memory space in human brain.There are numerous back-up functions if things go wrong in the human system. A slightest change which is injurious to the body will be recognised and rectified on its OWN. I don’t think computers can do this on its OWN.
If our body is attacked by a foreign agent, antibodies are immediately liberated by itself to fight against it but if a computer is attacked by a virus, an upgraded version of Anti-virus should be installed to delete it.
If at all Anti-virus was installed before the attack, it might act immediately but most people usually don’t prefer this because of a side-effect. It makes the system slow. This may be compared to vaccines. Even vaccines are given for specific foreign agents against which antibodies are not produced naturally by our body. But vaccines never slows down any process in our body.
( I have heard of LINUX operating systems which doesn’t get affected by virus at all.Some people might be thinking of this when going through this paragraph. No defence against it people. I am just trying to compare at the basic level
)
A small common example for back-up function.
The person vomits few minutes after consuming a poison. That is because our body will be trying to eliminate the poison and prevents it from getting absorbed. It can’t be removed that way completely but it tries its best to avoid serious complications.Its main aim is to protect our body in all possible way.
There are many such functions which amuses us when we read about it. What I have mentioned above is a simple small example.This one might have not surprised you at all. But there are lots of things about our body. I sometimes get goosebumps when I read those. Don’t worry!! I won’t be writing all those here and bore you guys. I think I have already done it.
I just want people to realize how well organised our body is and it would be nice if they know about it. If you are interested, try to find out more about it see how great it is. Try to know about our own body before learning about man-made things. I am again stressing the point that I am not against computers.
After all everything has got its own advantages and disadvantages. I wouldn’t have shared this with you people without a computer.
I just took it for a comparison.
I hereby sign out apologising if I took a lot of your time.
Take care of your health. Don’t neglect it. You have one life. Enjoy it to the fullest.
Firstly, one can NEVER compare technology to nature. Technology is the product of the amazing human mind. Secondly, since you have made that comparison already, many things are to be noted.
You have talked about the abilities of a computer. What it can and cannot do. So I would like to mention a point here. You have said that computers can never match the human brain. Very true and accepted. Have you heard about AI – Artificial Intelligence? Yes, we program a computer to be intelligent. The human mind is remarkable mainly because it can LEARN new things and adapt quickly. However, a computer as of now cannot LEARN. And however, people have already started research and have also tried to implement many things where the computer can be programmed to learn. Even then, it’s our product. But once that is accomplished, it COULD be better than us because it knows no tiredness or illness. And it does not require sleep.
Also, you have compared the antibodies to the anti-virus software of the computer. And you yourself have said that LINUX, which is a UNIX based Operating System DOES NOT HAVE VIRUSES. Why? Because we programmed them not to.
I see this as the first step to achieving the things I mentioned earlier.
And lastly, you have asked everyone to first learn about the functionality of our own body before learning that of a computer’s. To this I ask one simple question. If EVERYONE were to study the functions of the human body, why do we need doctors at all? Another question. How at all do you expect a person to study enough of his own body and then start studying technology before he reaches an age where he wouldn’t be able to implement anything that he has learned?
Overall, a brilliant post. You have looked at it from many possible perspectives and have thought about situations. BRAVO!!!
PS: I am really sorry if the comment turned out to be a post by itself.
But this is a topic that elicits discussion.
HA HA…No need to be sorry…I was expecting loads of things like this since its about computers
Firstly, regarding AI- You yourself have proved how efficient it is.I think you have that conversation on your blog. Even if they improve,how intelligent it can get??
Now coming back to your questions…I have a same answers for both the question.
I AM NOT ASKING EVERYONE TO STUDY MEDICINE. I AM ASKING THEM HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE ABOUT IT. AT LEAST TO SUCH A EXTENT WHERE THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES UPTO CERTAIN EXTENT.I AM ASKING PEOPLE NOT TO NEGLECT THINGS
What I have written in my blog post is just a VERY small implementation of AI. Care to search for more?
You would be amazed.
Oops…!!:O I’m so sorry da..
Appu dear, its an awesome piece of your brain that you’ve put up here!! Gr8 job I must say… Its was nice to know a few things in regards to the technology part n also refreshing in regards to the human science part.
All in all,its a wonderful precise information presentation!! Nice..
For this- “How at all do you expect a person to study enough of his own body and then start studying technology before he reaches an age where he wouldn’t be able to implement anything that he has learned?”
So in this case, how do you think the doctors have been studying about the human body in a matter of 5yrs(+2yrs for MD) n also implementing their study in their professional practices to treat the humanity??
No doubt, the study of the human body is unlimited n still has many new things to be discovered as there are theories yet to be proved!! But what is so far known, doesn’t require an individual’s lifetime to read n learn about.
Best part is,this only takes 4yrs to read n learn it all!!! ha ha ha ha ha….
No offences!! Just a piece of information…
So, 5yrs is sufficient to read enough about the human body n then also about the technology which would require 4yrs or so,..human brains has no limits you see!!! Later the implementation can also be done very much in their present lifetime. There might be people who have already done such achievements as well [Do care to find them if time permits!]
Lastly, you must have heard about ‘Biomedical engineering’, this is 1 such field were people get to read enough about the human body in health n disease & also about technology which is indeed in concern to the human body again.
But yet again, since the topic is about the human body n computers,there’s no point in implementing anything!! Except for learning how to take care of yourself with the help of the information that you can get through this technology i.e., computers n internet in addition!
THERE’S JUST 1 BODY YOU HAVE,TREASURE IT! TAKE CARE.
Annie dear, You have just replied to Pavan’s comment.But what about THE post I have written??
Such an amazing article. U can visit my blog to read mine articles XD
