“Revolutionizing the World: The Advancements of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality” – By Bhanuka – eLanka Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are the latest technological advancements that are changing the way we interact with the digital world. These technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way we work, learn, play, and communicate. In this article, we’ll explore what AR and VR are, how they differ, and their various applications and impact on various industries. What is Augmented Reality? Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that enhances our real-world environment with digital information. AR adds digital elements, such as images, videos, and sounds, to the real world through a device such as a smartphone or tablet. The most well-known example of AR is the popular game Pokémon Go, which uses the camera of a smartphone to project digital creatures into the real world. What is Virtual Reality? Virtual Reality ...

Curiosity, Not Coding: 6 Skills Leaders Need in the Digital Age – by Linda A. Hill, Ann Le Cam, Sunand Menon, and Emily Tedards Source:hbswk.hbs.edu This is the third and final article of the “Leading in the Digital Era” series. Read parts one and two. Leaders who set out to reshape their companies to compete in a fast-evolving digital world often come to a daunting realization: To transform their organizations, they must first transform themselves. However, the qualities they need to develop aren’t the ones you might expect. You might think an organization in flux needs a steady hand, someone with foresight and experience who plots a sensible route to cautiously and competently travel. And, of course, companies need leaders who are also digitally literate, right? In actuality, our research highlighted that none of these characteristics matter as much as you might think when it comes to leading digital transformation. In fact, 71 ...

The next generation of computing: DNA Computing By Aditya Abeysinghe Silicon-based microprocessors changed the digital world. Data processing of devices from IoT (Internet of Things) to super computers is handled by these tiny electronic chips. Early microprocessors had limited processing speed, yet, at present, even the smallest devices could process billions of digital operations within seconds. However, with growing computational needs, there is a limit of capacity that these chips could provide. Therefore, a new type of processing has been long thought as a solution to computation demands.  How DNA Computing began DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) computing was first termed in 1994 when Leonard Adleman a computer scientist at the University of Southern California described about using DNA to solve the “travelling salesman” problem. Also referred to as the directed Hamilton Path Problem, the problem is about finding the shortest route between a number of cities such that, each city is ...
