Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

Anant ( without End ) : Anadi ( without Beginning )




That is how our wise sages described the Brahmand ( Universe )


To me, that also seems like a very appropriate description of “ Information – Data – Content “


At different times, I have written :


=========================================================

Parallel to the Theory of Thermodynamics , I would like to propound the
following  as far as the “ Theory of Information “ is concerned :

     
     “ Like Entropy , content keeps growing with each and every human
     interaction, either with other humans or with his environment , and content
     can no longer remain hidden, nor can it be destroyed  “


=========================================================

Ever since Project Manhattan , we are familiar with a self-sustaining  " Nuclear Chain Reaction " - which once unleashed, was impossible to stop 

What we are witnessing thru a billion Mobiles is a similar "
Information Chain Reaction "

We have yet to discover that " Anti - Nectar " but it is possible that one of these days, some S/W geek develops an operating system which deletes / erases , all that AUDIO LOG from the servers of MSPs, as soon as conversation ends !


=========================================================

Under Internet of Things ( IoT ) , each living human will get assigned 50,000 TRILLION , unique IP Addresses , under IP V 6.0 ( including for that packet of food we eat and that bottle of water we drink ! )– that is  10 BILLION  IP addresses for each hair on our bodies !

We will be “ Watched / Measured / Imaged / Listened to / Analyzed / Administered / Governed “, every second of our lives ( - and no one will even ask for any permission ! )

Anyone wearing an AR / VR device ( which will be everyone ! ), will know who we are and what we are doing , at ANY MOMENT !

The Omnipresent CLOUD will tell us, what we should NEED and what we should DESIRE and where we should TRAVEL and what we should SEE !
May be, even how long we should LIVE !


=======================================================

Mobile phones are  V 1.0  of telecommunication

Telepathy will be  V 2.0   of Telephony
  
V 3.0  will be   Tele-Sympathy

V 4.0  will be   Tele-Empathy




 ========================================================

Everything  You   Do  ?

 Yes , it seems everything you do will get,

*    “ recorded “
  
*    “ stored “ in a universal database
  
*    “ searched / retrieved “
  
*    “ morphed “
  
*    “ sold “ ,


-  in order to manipulate you – sometimes for good and at other times , for bad
  


===================================================== 

Technology has advanced so far – and continues to accelerate even faster –
that it is possible to treat  “ Content ( personal  / private data ) “  like an air
molecule , which keeps travelling freely around the earth and gets inhaled a
trillion times ( content consumption ) by a billion humans .


Introduction of 5G and Li-Fi technologies  will speed up this process even further

       

 ========================================================

Nostradamus could have said :

  
“ In twenty hundred and twenty four,

  A Sea of Waves will roar,

  Light will follow Sound :

  And, in Smell and Taste

  Earth will abound ,

  Brain will hide no more

  Your secrets gore  “


500 years later, on  07 July 2017 , I re-envisioned above prophesy ( no doubt, cooked up by me ! ) in :



=========================================================


When I read the following article, I realized that I had postulated above was uncannily similar to the hypothesis being advanced in the following article :



Extract :

Ø  Information might seem immaterial. 
          But within a few short centuries, the total amount of digital bits produced annually
          by humanity could exceed the number of atoms on our planet and, even more
          unexpectedly, account for half of its mass.

Ø  Cell phones everywhere and high social media use mean that almost every human being is generating astonishing quantities of computerized content every day.

Ø  His analysis began with the fact that Earth currently contains roughly 10^21, or 100 billion billion, bits of computer information.

Ø  "This is everything we collectively do," Vopson told Live Science. "Any digital content produced and stored anywhere on the planet by anyone."

Ø  Assuming a 20% annual growth rate in digital content, Vopson showed that 350 years from now, the number of data bits on Earth will be greater than all the atoms inside it, of which there are about 10^50 or a hundred trillion trillion trillion trillion.

Ø  In 1961, the German-American physicist Rolf Landauer proposed that, because erasing a digital bit produces a tiny amount of heat, there's a link between information and energy

Ø  This means that the current mass of information produced every year is insignificant, about the weight of a single E. coli bacteria, Vopson said. But, assuming that same 20% growth per year, half of Earth's mass could be converted into digital data in less than 500 years.

Ø  Assuming a 50% growth rate, half the planet would be information by just 2245. Vopson's findings appeared Aug. 11 in the same journal, AIP Advances.


Ø  A way to alleviate the issues of storing such vast amounts of data might be to develop technology that would keep information in non-material mediums such as holograms, he said
