During her stay at my place, I took her to a garment retail store in south Delhi, where she bought some dress materials for herself and few others back in Manipur. It was a new experience for her to see the computerised billing deploying Barcode. She became very curious about it. Being an automation person, I explained her the technology and the associated technologies she uses in her day to day life without knowing much about it.
Bar code is a simple group technology of AIDC. Few technologies like Radio Frequency based Identification (RFID), Smart Card Technologies, Biometric, GPS, Enterprise Mobility all these technologies are from the similar kitty and they make our life very simple and easy. All the AIDC technologies are deployed to collect data from the source without any human intervention for accuracy and speed. Today AIDC is being deployed extensively for integrating many interfaces for Internet of Things (IoT), where machine talks with machines for an easier human life.
Technology has extended our reach in today’s world and it has positive as well as negative aspects too. A positive approach of technology deployment enhances the life of mankind by offering more time for home, relative and friends whereas a negative approach does just the opposite.
Technology enables Smart Homes and enables life immensely, guiding people to destinations, provides modern amenities on one hand and on the other hand can destroy a whole planet with its destructive traits. Thus, it becomes endless topic of discussion for intellectuals whether technology is enabling or disabling us. More on it, in the next issue.
