CULTURAL QA 08202421
Technology-Base Quora QA- Compiled
Q1 How was the first home computer in the 1980s different from the
computers that are in our homes now?
G My note- In India we had home computers very common by 1997 only
KR What is the use of then home computer in India except unusable
information?
In 1989-90 I had a poicket sized module in which I was able
to program Basic prgram. And I learnt basic from an institution where the
Balchander movie table top was available. Home computers weere sparodic and
wifi was not there. Then came slow buffering wifi. I could do charts and
tables; I was so elated then that I can do monthly budget and Provision
store list, then I thought as jiffe. That can be transferred to that hand
module. Then in 90s followed by obol, Visual Basic etc.
Q2 Why haven’t people figured out how to live forever yet?
KR If anyone wants to learn from 2024 graduate as a learned pl do
so. How to live -who said- was not figured out? Mr G is unaware because he
has no consciousness. Sanatana Dharma was not a religion bONLY A WAY OF
LIFE ADVOCATED; AND IF g LIKE WOULD NOT LOVE TO READ AND FOLLOW WHEN HIS
15000 TO 20000 GENERATIONAL ANCESTOR (35 YEARS AGENERATION AND ABOUT 7000
YEARS THE OLDEST IN INDIA) OF HIS FAMILY AS HE IS DOING TODAY-DID THEN; and
did not know the way of life and first time a graduate 2024 has to take
class for his current genetion, ; and he does not read or think; WHOSE
MISTAKE IS THAT? wE ARE THE FIRST TO TEACH THE UNIVERSAL VERSES- HOW TO
LIVE.
Q3 How did people live before personal computers and cell phones?
Would you prefer living in that time or now, with all our current
technology advancements?
KR People in India lived by reading from vedic periods, atleast
7000 years before. Every century some thing entred the society and every
society lead a fine life and they had to do all in 12 hrs instead 24 hr, so
they were quite busy. Busier than today. Rig vedam says hat they were
doing. I was reading a lot of books. That was period when home women were
reading newspapers and magazines. But there were many who did nothing also
and was asking in 2024 what were being done also?
Q4 Why can't Japan manufacture mobile phones like China?
KR Silly Q and A. Japan has a variety of cell phomes embedded
with whole facililities. China phones are not accessible in USA viz chips
wont work in OPPO like. But all Japanese phone does. My son bought me a
cell when he went to Japan.
Q5 Is Great Britain as technologically advanced as the United States?
A5 Darran SMITH, Lives in South East UK (1973–present)Mon G The
USA is backward. Its education is bad. The UK publishes nearly 50% more
scientific papers per population and over 3 x as many books per population.
Constantly saying our monarch is too expensive but your presidents cost
more and seem intent on causing wars. In some cases internally like a
toddler with a tantrum (Adolf Trumpler). You might have stealth fighters
but you still use wells which is unusual in a developed country, your
education is bad, your healthcare costs a fortune but has maternity deaths
higher than some parts of Africa (who also have better education in some
ares too). Your food is full of toxins banned all over but still in your
food due to your bribery and corruption levels that are insane. Your
propaganda via uneducated parents, media that rarely tells the truth and is
censored worse than anywhere except North Korea and education. History in
particular is more fantasy and delusion than substance. Claiming you have
won wars everyone outside the US knows you lost.
KR: The annual Best Countries Report, conducted by US News and World
Report, BAV Group, and the Wharton School of the University of
Pennsylvania, reserves an entire section for education. The report surveys
thousands of people across 78 countries, then ranks those countries based
upon the survey's responses. The education portion of the survey compiles
scores from three equally-weighted attributes: a well-developed public
education system, would consider attending university there, and provides
top-quality education. As of 2023, the top ten countries based on education
rankings are:
United States 1
United Kingdom 2
Germany 3
Canada 4
France 5
Switzerland 6
Japan 7
Australia 8
Sweden 9
Netherlands 10
UK There are over 150 universities in the United Kingdom.
The University of Cambridge and University of Oxford (often referred to as
Oxbridge) are generally considered the best universities in the UK, with St
Andrews University, UCL, and LSE often highly ranked too.
The 24 Russell Group universities are also recognized for their commitment
to industry-leading research and an outstanding learning experience. Among
this group of top universities are Durham University, Imperial College
London and the University of Bristol.
The UK’s higher education institutions are all held to strict standards by
the government.
The consistently high quality of education in the UK helps to keep it at
the forefront of global research. According to the British Council,
although it represents just 0.9 per cent of the global population, the UK
produces 14 per cent of the world’s most highly cited scientific research.
US The USA has one of the largest education systems globally, with over
4,000 higher education institutions. Arguably the most famous are those in
the Ivy League; eight universities in the North East of America that are
renowned for their academic excellence, social elitism, and admission
selectivity. They include world-famous Harvard University, as well as
Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia, Yale and the University of
Pennsylvania.
In many countries, post-secondary institutions are called universities.
However, in the US, the words college and university are often used
interchangeably.
There are many different types of US college/university; some are public
(state-funded) and others are private (privately funded). Public
universities are often bigger in size than private ones and are
characterized by lower tuition costs.
There are also those termed ‘research universities’, which can be public or
private universities, and have high research activities.
Finally, there are community colleges; two-year colleges that award an
associate’s degrees (transferable), as well as certifications. Community
college graduates most commonly transfer to four-year colleges or
universities to complete their degree.
Transferring between American universities is far more common in the US
than the UK in general, and can be a great way for students to graduate
with a degree from a more highly ranked institute.
UK As a UK student, you must decide what you want to study before you
apply for university.
It is not possible to simply apply to study at a university without
detailing the specific course that you are applying for.
All of your classes will be related to your degree subject.
Another thing that varies between the US and the UK higher education
systems is the typical teaching style. Degree studies in the UK tend to be
heavily lecture based, although some smaller group tutorials, or seminars
are also included.
Being largely lecture-based, UK universities put a focus on self-directed
study, meaning depending on which subject you study, you may have
relatively few ‘contact hours’ with your tutors, when you are attending
lectures or seminars.
UK university study may include the occasional assessment, but it’s not
uncommon for students at UK universities to have no formal assessment until
an end of term, or even end of the year exam.
Degrees are awarded as first-class honours (equivalent to GPA 4.0), upper
second-class honours (equivalent to GPA 3.3-3.7), lower second-class
honours (equivalent to GPA 2.7-3.0), and third-class honours (equivalent to
GPA 2.0-2.3).
US in the USA, you have until the end of your second year of
undergraduate study (sophomore year) to declare a major (the subject your
degree will be in). Instead, you will study a core curriculum of arts,
humanities and science classes, alongside the subjects of your choosing.
This allows you to explore various disciplines and find which one suits you
best before you choose your major. The broad range of subjects you will
study at a US university means your degree will generally take longer to
complete than in the UK.
Those who wish to specialize in medicine, dentistry, veterinary or
engineering fields must first complete their bachelor’s degree before
undertaking a postgraduate degree in their chosen profession.
The USA system uses plenty of lectures, but these might be incorporated
much more with smaller seminars or workshops than in the UK.
Often, US university students have more assignments to complete and more
classes to attend. Those classes will also often include a lot of active
discussion between the students and the professor. In fact, a large part of
the overall grade at a US university will be based on class participation.
Universities in the USA in general are much more assessment-based than
their UK counterparts and students are likely to have weekly, bi weekly or
monthly assessments, which will be combined with a final exam for a final
grade.
Assignments are graded as A to F and at the end of the degree, a grade
point average (GPA) is calculated.
More recently, the compound annual growth in publication output for the
world was 4% from 2010 to 2020 (Table PBS-1). Country-specific growth rates
vary widely by country. Among the 15 largest publication producers,
countries with compound annual growth rates above the world average were
Russia (10%), Iran (9%), India (9%), China (8%), and Brazil (5%); those
with the lower growth rates were Japan (-1%), France (-0.3%), the United
States (1%), the UK (1%), and Germany (1%). The countries with low growth
rates are those that built their scientific capacity decades ago and
continue to maintain their scientific research. The worldwide growth of
publication output, from 1.9 million in 2010 to 2.9 million in 2020, was
led by four geographically large countries. China (36%), India (9%), Russia
(6%), and the United States (5%) together accounted for about half the
increase in publications over this time period. AND NEVER UK SIR.
FYI: Sweden gives the best smart education; Korea has high standards; Japan
leads in Maths 2nd UK. Hence check anything when biased minds gossip in
QUORA.
