Relation Between Tools And Technology With The Homo Sapiens

Posted on by Nirmal Anandh1 Comment

Looking at the past you may then to think about the connection between tools and humans. You may wonder was it the humans who made the tools or did tools make the humans. There are several scientists who have this view that the Homo sapiens species or the humans were the first cyborg that evolved over the ages as an outcome of technology.

Timothy Taylor, a renowned archaeologist and anthropologist at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom, said in his theory that humans evolved from the proto-human primates simply because they knew how to use tools.

Explaining his theory of this evolutionary path of humans Taylor further said that the use of tools suggested and supported the fact that in the olden times, as well as today, the concept of “survival of the weakest,” prevailed. He said that:

Technology allows humans to amass biological deficits such as loss of the sharp fingernails and heavy jaw musculature that gave rise to the cutting tools and stone tools respectively.
Such changes resulted in the lowering down of basic aggression and facilitated the increase in manual dexterity for both males and females.
Such biological deficits are not only the matter of the past, he says and it even continues today. For example, human eyesight these days on an average is worse than that of the early humans that lived 10,000 years ago.
He also pointed out that just like other animals do, humans do not usually adapt to the surrounding environments. Instead they adapt environments to them.

All these facts and explanations point at another confusing aspect. Since the Neanderthals are considered to be symbolic thinkers that probably made art and had also designed exquisite tools with the bigger brains that they had, does that make them smarter?

No, it is just that humans are more extended through their technology even though most of the people in this planet live in cities rather than villages.

Evidences to prove

There are a plethora of evidences that corroborates this fact and show that there has been a significant overall decrease in the size of the brain of humans as compared to those humans living on this planet about 30,000 years ago. The alarming fact is that this trend seems to be continuing.

There are several reasons for it but the most significant one of all is that humans can outsource their intelligence. They do not need to remember a lot of things as the Neanderthals had to because now the humans have a computer to do that for them.
That means, the technology and tools have eliminated the need for the humans to maintain such an expensive and often dangerous biology any more. It signifies that over the passage of time, humans will continue to become less intelligent, biologically.

However, Taylor is not the only one to believe in the fact that tools of some specific kind came to existence even before the Homo sapiens.

In his book Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human Richard Wrangham said that making fire and cooking food was a human-making technology. He argued that:

It is easy to digest food that is cooked rather than eaten raw and it also far less likely to cause any disease.
It also provided immense amounts of energy needed by the bigger brains of humans.

This over time resulted in a smaller and much weaker digestive tract in comparison to the previous ages.

Comparing Taylor and Wrangham theory

However, if you compare both Taylor and Wrangham theories you may find that both of them may be correct. In fact, there are several tools and technologiesthat may have combined to influence the evolutionary path of the Homo sapiens.

Paradoxical as it may sound, both Wrangham and Taylor suggested in their report rightfully that humans are technological by nature which is why humans are also sometimes referred to as Trans-humans.
Another staggering fact about the revelations of these two specific theories is that humans are certainly not the outcome of the evolution just as the way other primates are. If the Taylor and Wrangham’s theory holds true, humans are the evolutionary product of the technological pressure and its selection on a species.

They say that erectus developed from habilus because of technology and, concomitantly, the Homo sapiens evolved as a classthat maximized the use of technology.

This means, if you believe technology is natural and the Homo sapiens are the natural product of this technology, then there has to be a specific boundary between the two. Is it the human beings themselves? Wow! In other words, it would mean to be human means to be cybernetic because all humans are the species that is specifically born of technology. Period!

Tools of mankind

Since humans are used to tools and technology you will find that most use some kind of tool or the other in their daily life activities. Right from the cooking range to the refrigerator, from the mobile phones to the ceiling fan, you possible cannot imagine a human being living with the using any type of tool at all.

Moreover, the use of technology is also extensive among the humans. Not only you use technology to gather information or news, you also use it to plan your next moves to make it work best for your benefits. For example, if you want to get rid of your debts you will not choose any option without going through a variety of reviews such as debt consolidation or debt settlement reviews and weigh the pros and cons of each to select the right way to get rid of your debts.

That means since the time human beings started to exist and till the time they will exist, they will continue to use different tools and technologies just to make their life better and improve its quality.

Therefore, inventing tools may have been the biggest challenges to humans throughout history but it is necessary for the mankind to survive putting in less effort and time in any specific activity.

Instagram Influencer Marketing Essentials for Social Media Marketers

Posted on by Nirmal AnandhLeave a comment

Instagram influencer marketing has gathered a lot of traction in recent times even as marketers try every trick in their armory to get closer to their target audience and connect with them. According to research, it is already a $2 billion industry, market watchers predict that it will grow fast to become 10 billion in the next couple of years.

Despite its widespread adoption by large brands and it emerging as a viable career option for many Instagram users, many people are still not very clear as to what influencer marketing really is and what impact it can have on your business. Some insights into the concept that will serve marketers well in 2019 and the years to come:

What Is Instagram Influencer Marketing

Instagram influencers are those people who have a large number of engaged followers due to their celebrity status, domain knowledge, or any other attribute that provides a reason for their followers to respect them and love them so much that they are amenable to taking their advice or recommendations.

Businesses in virtually any industry will be able to find a number of influencers that their target audience looks up to. The emergence of this aspect of influence has opened up a huge opportunity for marketers looking to make a better impression of their product credibility and brand reputation to potential customers who may not perhaps be convinced that the product has the attributes they seek.

Influencer marketing on Instagram or for that matter on any social media is akin to what brand ambassadors are used for by marketers in traditional advertising, only social media allows a far greater degree of interaction that is not possible in conventional print and TV advertising.

Also, influencer marketing has gained enormous momentum because it allows brands to reach potential customers in a way that is more genuine than compared to traditional advertising. Influencer marketing involves building up relationships with targeted influencers who can recommend products or services to their followers with who they have a loyal and strong relationship that cuts across many aspects of their lives. Taking an Instagram screenshot of the brand sponsorship post is also a popular way of spreading the message among the followers.

How Much Do Influencers Charge

As is common with all services, influencer charges also vary a lot depending on a number of factors like the industry, the number of followers, and the engagement rate. The rate of engagement is more than the number of followers because unless the influencer has a hold on the follower base, the money invested in influencer marketing would just be wasted. According to industry studies, brands work out exclusive arrangements with influencers who can demonstrate engagement rates of upwards of 10%.

Typically, influencers may quote a dollar figure per post for every 100,000 followers; while the figure may not seem impressive, you need to factor in the fact that many of the top influencers have followers running into millions. The earnings are often good enough for them to treat their income from brand sponsorships as their primary income. While only a top brand would be able to afford a star influencer like Kylie Jenner who charges up to $1 million per post endorsed, smaller businesses are often quite happy to work with smaller influencers but who command respect in a narrow niche.

Who Is an Influencer?

Just about anyone can be an Instagram influencer; the only criterion is that you should have a reasonably large but highly-involved follower base. The extent of your influence over your audience will decide how successful you can be as an influencer. If you can demonstrate that people take your suggestions seriously, you could be a very valuable proposition for a brand wanting to make inroads into a fresh target audience. Brand managers will generally research you and your account to ensure that your followers represent their target audience and the following and engagement is authentic.

The genuineness of Instagram influencers is often called into question because there are many influencers who are not above using bots and sophisticated software programs to automatically like and comment just like human followers. The problem with these ghost followers is that they are not real people and brands cannot sell to them. However, to the trained eye, spotting fake followers is not very difficult as they only respond to posts of people in a specific target demographic or posts that contain a certain hashtag. Also, their response is standard and does not start a genuine conversation like an actual follower.

Genuine influencers will also not accept random brand sponsorship contracts because they have a real follower base and need to take into consideration their interests failing which, they are liable to ruin their own credibility and provoke follower attrition.

Genuine influencers also like to craft their own content for the brands they endorse rather than just push across a communication from the brand. At the end of the day, influencers have to ensure that all their posts reflect their own personality and should not appear to be out of place. This is the reason why influencer marketing is more of collaboration than just a commercial relationship.

Working with Instagram Influencers

If you are a brand wishing to cultivate Instagram influencers to increase your brand awareness or bottom line, you need to first decide on a budget because a sustained involvement with an influencer can be pretty expensive. Often micro influencers with a smaller following may be the answer for budget restrictions.

You also need to figure out whether the influencer is a good fit for the brand and whether the followers represent your target audience. Then, you need to perform due diligence of the Instagram account to measure the engagement rate and spot inconsistencies that become apparent when followers have been bought or bots used to artificially elevate the account performance statistics.

Conclusion

When brands face intense competition for market share, it can be a wise idea to move away from playing a price warrior or investing heavily in traditional mass marketing tactics. Influencer marketing for brands, both big and small, has already proven its effectiveness. While the results may take some time in coming, the impact is usually far deeper into the consciousness of the target audience.

Modern Form 2 SMS Marketing is a Strategic and Continual Process

Posted on by Nirmal AnandhLeave a comment

The primary intent of marketing is to reach out to more and more clients and the most effective way to do so is by making the most out of SMS marketing. However, the process is not as simple as you may think and certainly does not involve and end with sending SMSs at random to the people out there.

You have to follow a specific strategy so that it helps you in several other aspects such as to determine:

The type of customers to target
The type of message to create
The right time and day to send these messages
The specific technique to follow
The right type of gateway to use
The right kind of tools and software to use and
The ways to monitor the messages and analyze the results.

All these consideration will ensure that you reach out to more and more people out there easily and more effectively and thereby increase your organic traffic and chances of conversion. In addition to that, you will need to follow a specific strategy as under.

When it comes to SMS marketing strategy, you will first have to formulate a plan for your approach. Next up, you will have to determine the tools to use such as ‘Plug-n-Play’ code samples, mass text message app and others. This will ensure that your integration of SMS with traditional marketing does not become a headache but is more effective instead.
Using of proper SMS gateway will keep things simpler and more result oriented which is why you will also need to choose some of the best and top software packages to integrate SMS properly with any system so that it works perfectly as desired across all channels and platforms.
Since SMS marketing is a strategic and a continual process, such an organized approach will reduce the chances of errors and lapses that will eventually and inevitably jeopardize the final outcome of it.
Using on or off systems and form 2 SMS will enable you to send out text messages through your website that will contain the product description and contact details. Since this is a two way approach, it will also help you to collect the mobile numbers in the process. This will help you in a great way for your future marketing campaigns.

Apart from extracting names and email addresses from the incoming text responses, you may also ask for a few additional data in the response while running a SMS campaign. To extract all such data in a more usable format you can use the best nifty excel tool.

The SMS pricing

Is price is what you are worried about as you should be being a responsible business owner, do some research to find out the lowest cost provider but make sure that they do not compromise with the quality while sending the SMSs in bulk.

The Explanation about why Hadoop is ruling

Posted on by Nirmal AnandhLeave a comment

Hadoop, the open source and a software platform are managed by the Apache Software Foundation who has been established as the very helpful source to store a vast amount of data efficiently in a cheap rate. But what it Hadoop exactly and what has made it so special?

Fundamentally, it’s a method for storing large informational data crosswise over conveyed groups of servers and then running it through “circulated” examination applications.

It’s proposed that your Big Data applications will keep on running in spite of when singular servers or bunches come up short. Plus, it’s likewise intended to be effective, in light of the fact that it does not require your applications to carry extensive information to your system.

The framework of Apache Hadoop software allows for the scattered processing of huge data sets across clusters of computers using plain programming models. It has the design to scale up from a distinct server to thousands of machines, and each of them is offering local calculation and storage. Rather than rely on the hardware system to distribute high-availability, the software library is planned to detect and manage all the failures at the application level and is delivering a highly accessible service on top of a cluster of computers, though each of which has the probability of failure.

If we examine deeply, there’s even more magical at work. Hadoop is an almost completely modular composition that makes it incredibly flexible, which means you can swap out almost any components of it for a diverse software tool. That makes the architecture extremely supple, as well as strong and efficient.

Evolve of Apache Hadoop

Google’s MapReduce is the main inspiration which is applied to part an application into little divisions so that it keeps running on various hubs. Mike Cafarella and scientists Doug Cutting has made the called Hadoop 1.0 and propelled it in the year 2006 to help transportation for Nutch web index.

By 2012 November it was available to the public through Apache Software Foundation. As part of its modification, a second version has also been launched after long revision form Hadoop 2.3.0 on twentieth Feb 2014 and has some major changes in its framework.

MapReduce introduction and Data Processing Framework

The information handling system or the data processing support is the instrument that allows you to work with the details. As a matter of course, this construction is based on Java and termed as MapReduce. Reasons why individuals hear more about the MapReduce side of Hadoop instead of HDFS:

It’s the tool which really gets prepared information.
It has a tendency to make people crazy while working.

In a “typical” normal database, information is found and examined with the aid of questions, based on SQL. On the other hand, Non-relational databases make use of questions not just on SQL; rather utilize other inquiry dialects to drag details out of the stores.

But don’t be mistaken thinking that Hadoop is simply a database: It has the mechanism to store data and to pull data out of it whenever you have the necessity, rather the truth is that Hadoop can be defined something more than mere information warehousing framework – It consists of MapReduce for data processing.

The working phenomenon of MapReduce is based on job series, and every job comes with a specific Java application that actually went deeper into the details to extract the required data. When data seekers prefer to use MapReduce, they can enjoy high-end power and flexibility; the additional complexity includes tremendous unpredictability.

One more component is there to make Hadoop that makes it one of a kind: All of the capacities portrayed here go about as appropriated outlines.

A database utilizes a variety of machines, and the work will be partitioned out in this process. The greater part of the information sits on at least one machine, and the majority of the information is housed on the set of servers.

On the Hadoop group, the details present inside MapReduce and HDFS framework are kept on each machine in the group. This comes with two rewards: it adds recurrence to the framework in the event that one machine present in the group goes down, and it extracts the information after preparing to program into comparable machines where information is put away, which speeds data recovery.

At the end when a solicitation for details come in, the MapReduce generally makes use of two segments, a Job Tracker that is usually available on the Hadoop ace hub, and Task Trackers that is available on every hub inside the Hadoop arrange.

The course of action goes directly: The Map part is put into practice by the Job Tracker partitioning figuring employments up into characterized parts and moving those occupations out to the Task Trackers in the group where the required information is put away. When the action is running, the right compartment of information is simply reduced back leading to the Hadoop group, and then joined the data set varieties available on the majority of the bunch’s equipment.

Why must you have Hadoop?

The blast of Big Data has enforced the organizations to use all the technologies that could help them to handle the complex and formless data in such a method so that they can use maximum information extracted at once and they are analyzed without any delay or loss This need grew the advancement of huge information innovations that can procedure different tasks on the double without a disappointment. Here is a portion of the highlights of Hadoop as recorded underneath.

Conclusion

Hadoop has seized the Big Data market by making a big storm and the multinational organizations are also getting benefitted by its reliability. Though there is more to judge if it is the single player who will dominate the market or not, its continuous improvement has made it a good choice for the big companies.

Learn All About Programming through Programming Assignment Help

Posted on by Nirmal AnandhLeave a comment

Technology and innovation have become a part of our daily lives now. Every industry today is becoming digital, incorporating computing systems and networks. As a result, tech skills are highly demanded in the industries. There is always a need for programmers who have the power to create the best!

Hence, if you have chosen computer science or computer programming as a subject in your school, college or university, you have already taken the first step to a bright future. But what if you are facing problems in learning to program on your own? Well, programming assignment help can make things better. Let us see how.

What is Programming Assignment Help?

To help students understand the complexities of programming languages, many programming assignment help services are available online today. These are generally a group of programming experts who have in-depth knowledge about the programming curriculum taught in schools and colleges.

These experts take a student’s queries and provide with explanatory solutions at an affordable price. Students can provide a deadline by which they want the assignment solutions and the assignment helpers ensure that the students receive the solutions on time.

How Programming Assignment Helpers can help you learn Programming?

Comprehend your programming questions easily

Many times students face issues in understanding the programming requirements. As a result, they are not able to come up with correct solutions. A programming assignment help can make them understand the requirements of the programming questions easily by providing them with correct solutions. As students would go through the assignment solutions, they will be able to understand the questions in a better way. In case if students find that the solutions are incorrect or incomplete, they can seek assistance and get their answers reviewed by these experts once again.

Get better with the syntax and semantics of programming language

It is important for a student to understand the syntax and semantics of a programming language. It not only helps them in writing correct code but also in understanding the unique features of a particular programming language. The assignment helpers provide accurate solutions to the assignment queries to the students along with proper documentation which in turn helps the students understand how to write programs and the important things to consider while writing a program.

Learn to code faster

There is clearly no point of spending hours on solving complex programming questions when a student has no idea how to code. Taking help from a programming specialist makes it easier for the students to understand what approach to follow while solving a programming question. Instead of wasting time in attempting a question without any clue of how to find the solution, students can delegate their assignments to the experts and spend time studying the topics.

Solve programming queries without the hustle

Students generally have no idea about planning a code. The practice of unplanned coding can be harmful in their professional career or when students learn advanced programming. Along with efficiently written assignment solutions, students can ask the assignment experts to share the drafts of their assignments and understand how they actually planned the solutions. Students can thus learn about the possible solutions to a problem and why the assignment writer chose a particular method of finding the solution. This is also known as code optimization.

Debugging is not difficult anymore!

A crucial aspect of programming is testing. Students often have no time to debug code on their own. Sometimes it becomes difficult for them to understand the meaning of an error in their code and hence they are unable to rectify it. Programming assignment helpers can make the code written by students error-free. They can also specify the meaning of different errors that were there in the code and how they resolved those errors.

Understand someone else’s code in a breeze
