In Conrad's Heart of Darkness Africa is described as the "dark continent" not merely because its inhabitants are dark of complexion, but because it is a place regarded as trapped in primordial darkness. In search of Mr. Kurtz, the character of Marlow says, "Going up that river was like traveling back from the earliest beginnings of the world... you thought yourself bewitched and cut off forever from everything you had once known" (Conrad 30). Here there reader is presented with the idea that the whites in Africa are separated from everything they view as "civilized." Many of the whites in the novel believe that Africa's darkness stems from the savagery of its native inhabitants. However, perhaps the conflict arising from the stereotype of the licentious, idolatrous, and duplicitous black does not explain the events of the novel half as well as that of the white man gone wild. In his novel, Conrad shows us that in colonial societies the superego of the individual has the dangerous potential to be ignored and perhaps even permanently suppressed in favor of the id.

It has been argued that nations throughout history have justified imperial conquest by dismissing subjugated peoples as degenerate members of savage races. However, in Heart of Darkness, the character of Marlow observes that in the case of conquerors, "...strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others" (Conrad 4). Marlow recognizes that the world's distribution of power did not arise as a result of Europeans or any other group of peoples' moral right to rule over "lesser beings" in foreign lands. Yet, he also says that "those who tackle a darkness" can be redeemed by an "idea" (Conrad 4). This idea is that of the moral obligation of Europeans to act as emissaries of light bringing civilization to the savages. Therefore, although environmental conditions of the European continent that allowed for rapid technological advancement were all that separated the Caucacasian peoples from the rest of the world, by claiming that brutal conquest was motivated by divine purpose, they were able to maintain their moral high ground. In recognizing this truth, Marlow, unlike the other white men of the novel, is able to see the hypocrisy inherent in the mission to civilize.

Marlow's "company is run for profit," as he is tempted to tell his aunt, and once he arrives in Africa he realizes that this fact creates a moral cesspool where the seven deadly sins are cultivated (Conrad 10). One character who exemplifies some of these is the "papier-mch Mephistopheles." As one of pilgrims, he shows avarice in wanting to be appointed to an ivory trading post and sloth in doing nothing about his appointed task, brick making. Furthermore, envy and anger are displayed when he intrigues against the other pilgrims and pumps Marlow for information. Finally, his silver dressing case is an example of his pride. Marlow, who is devoted to efficiency, is disgusted by the pilgrims' utter lack of initiative, and so he is fascinated by the stories of Mr. Kurtz, who is described as "an emissary of pity, and science, and progress" (Conrad 22). Perhaps there is at least one man who takes seriously the mission of "weaning those ignorant masses from their horrid ways" (Conrad 10).

Nevertheless, Marlow begins to realize that although ostensibly on a moral mission, the white man does much to exacerbate the plight of the "poor savages." Coming across a chain gang on his way to the first station, Marlow describes them as "black shadows of disease and starvation" (Conrad 14). It is significant that these men are criminals in the eyes of their colonial overlords. Their crimes have not been enumerated, and it is a "flabby, pretending, weak-eyed devil if a rapacious and pitiless folly" who has brought what used to be "strong, lusty, red-eyed devils" to such a state (Conrad 13). Later, on the steamboat it is revealed that the cannibals are being paid with nine-inch pieces of brass wire rather than anything readily convertible to food. This ridiculous state of affairs is at once amusing, grotesque, and inspiring. The cannibals, although haunted by "the gnawing devils of hunger" show remarkable self-restraint despite the fact that they are starving (Conrad 37). In contrast, their white companions care only about saving their own skins, and have no scruples about their native helpers dying in the line of duty. In this way the anti-imperialist spirit of the novel comes through, as the reader sees that rather than helping the blacks to become more civilized, the whites selfishly take advantage of Africa's natural resources and exploit its people.

As the novel progresses, Marlow comes to the further realization that although Mr. Kurtz was originally thought by him to be a redeemer, the very embodiment of civilization, is a sham. In the Congo, free from such social restraints as "scandal and gallows and lunatic asylums," Kurtz was free to "take a high seat among the devils of the land (Conrad 44). Overtaken by his greed for ivory, Kurtz engages in unspeakable savage rituals, takes a native mistress, and impales the heads of his enemies on stakes. Therefore, Kurtz is in fact the man with a heart of darkness. He exemplifies the wild state that every man, no matter his culture, is capable of reverting to. This is the truth that Marlow has realized when he says that life in the Congo was characterized by "...fascination of the abomination- you know, imagine the growing regrets, the longing to escape, the powerless disgust, the surrender, the hate" (Conrad 4). It is ironic however, that Kurtz, who supposedly realizes his folly on his death bed when he exclaims, "the horror, the horror" has actually set up a primitive form of empire around the inner station (Conrad 64). He rules the native through fear, and they respect and obey him. Is it not significant then to point out that perhaps Kurtz's fall does not represent the potential to revert to savagery when isolated from civilization, but rather the savagery inherent in civilization itself?

In society a sort of collective conscience exists in the form of codified laws. Yet, laws are often broken, and like the painting of Lady Justice at the manager's station, they are often blind and indiscriminate. Overall, civilization, which Marlow initially believes to be good, is ultimately considered irrational and evil. Mr. Kurtz, who is its greatest product, exploits in the name of progress and subjugates through fear. He is no better than the cruel conquerors that originally took over the African continent, and the hardest thing to accept is, maybe his actions were not unnatural at all. Freud said that the id represents the biological forces acting upon an individual that motivates them to seek pleasure in a selfish way. If all the individuals in society have such a complex, then it is only natural that we take our pleasure at the expense of others. What Marlow realizes at the end of the novel however is that the illusion of civilization is what holds society, and ultimately the individuals of which is it comprised, together. This is why he tells Kurtz's Intended that he died with her name on his lips; he realizes that the truth he has been seeking lies in the darkness, that fallibility is what defines human existence

Inheritance of property cannot occur unless goods are regarded as belonging to individuals rather than to groups and unless the goods are of such permanence that they continue to exist and to be useful beyond the death of the owner. Among primitive food-gatherers and hunters, it has not been uncommon for such personal belongings as weapons or bowls to be destroyed after the death of the owner in order to protect the survivors from being molested by his spirit. Among the Papua of New Guinea and the Damara (Bergdama) of Namibia, the hut of the dead man was abandoned or burned down so as to ban the magic of the disease of which the owner had died.

Among the Herero of southwest Africa, the dead man’s goats were slaughtered and eaten; this custom seems to have been connected with the fear that they were affected by his magic and also with the belief that the spirits of the slaughtered goats would follow the dead owner into the realm of spirits, where he would need them. Belief in providing for the needs of the dead seems to have been the root of the widespread custom of burying with the body or burning victuals, utensils, treasure, slaves, or wives. Tombs have yielded a wealth of evidence of such practices in the cultures of the Stone and Bronze ages as well as in the high civilizations of ancient Egypt and pre-Columbian Mexico. Another way of disposing of a dead man’s effects was to distribute them among remote relatives and friends, as in the case of such American Indian tribes as the Delaware and the Iroquois; distribution of this sort, in the absence of rules of inheritance, could easily lead to quarrels and violence, as frequently happened among the Comanche Indians.

The view of some Marxist writers that common ownership of all goods, or at least of land, was once universal among mankind can be neither proved nor disproved. Group ownership has been widespread but by no means universal among primitive and archaic agriculturalists. It has, indeed, persisted into modern times in India and parts of Africa and Asia, and it played a considerable role in the development of the Teutonic and Slavic peoples of Europe. In Serbia ownership of the land by zadrugas—that is to say, large groups of progeny of a common ancestor—continued into the 20th century.

In western Europe the common ownership of pastures and woods, which grew out of the former system of common ownership of the land of a village, can still be found, especially in the Alpine regions of Switzerland and Austria. While in earlier times colonization of new land tended to be carried on by groups—for instance, the German settlement of the regions east of the Elbe in the 10th to 13th centuries—the Europeans who settled in North America, Australia, South Africa, and other parts of the world during the 18th and 19th centuries regarded individual ownership of land as most favourable to efficient use. In the 20th century, socialist ideas, combined with large-scale mechanization, resulted in new forms of land ownership in common: the kolkhozy of the former Soviet Union, the communes of the People’s Republic of China, and the kibbutzim of Israel. Wherever land is held in common, the death of a member of the group results not in inheritance but rather in a rearrangement of duties and of rights of participation in the produce of the land or rights of temporary usage of the land itself.

Cordelia differs from the traditional 'Cinderella figure' primarily because she does not in any way experience a sense of justice. Unlike in the Cinderella folk-tale, where good is rewarded and evil is punished, King Lear is devoid of all notions of 'fairness' at the hands of the pagan gods that many of the characters fatalistically call upon throughout the play. Lack of 'poetic justice' is seen by some as part of the 'definition' of a tragedy; King Lear takes this to the extreme. The end of the play brings with it a sense of absolute futility: Lear dies in a state of bewilderment, wondering what it has all been for, and bemoaning the injustice of life. He says of Cordelia's death, 'Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life, / And thou no breath at all?' (V:iii lines 306-7), and dies before he can find an answer. The mental state of despairing confusion in which Lear dies is more tragic than the death itself, because it amplifies the already huge sense of injustice. This is accentuated even further when seen in the light of Edmund's statement that 'The wheel is come full circle' (V:iii line 174). The cyclical nature of life will cause the events of the play to be repeated unless something has been learned from them. Whether there is hope depends upon one's estimation of Edgar's character: I believe that the outlook is bleak.

While Cordelia undoubtedly displays traits that link her character to that of Lear, I think that they are fundamentally different on several levels, especially at the start of the play. She is stubborn and proud, like Lear, but importantly she is neither rash nor impulsive, and does not react in the extreme manner that he does when challenged or insulted. Whereas Lear's reaction is to lash out and punish in order to maintain his level of power in a scene, shown by his banishment of Kent and of Cordelia in the first scene of the play, Cordelia has a more even temperament and is better inclined to try persuasion and sound reasoning in order to win someone over, as in I:i, where she argues with Lear as to the value of her love without becoming angry, but protests little when her fate is revealed. That is not to say that Cordelia is pliant - far from it. It is her strong sense of pride and an unwillingness to 'devalue' herself by playing Lear's egotistic game which leads to her banishment and arguably precipitates many of the events of the play. These differing attitudes of wrath and persuasion are equally calamitous and ineffective in the context of the play: Lear's anger is one of many personality flaws that cloud his judgement and encourage rash decisions, while Cordelia's changeable stubbornness leads to her banishment, but does not cause her to contest the decision.

Although, morally, refusing to flatter Lear is the correct action for Cordelia to take, is undeniably admirable, and shows an impressive strength of character in defying the tyrannical king, it can also be seen as self-indulgent, arrogant and overly proud to contest and, effectively, humiliate her father in public. She would do better, knowing Lear's likely reaction, to swallow her pride at this point and comply with the vain whim of an aging man, one who she loves dearly and presumably therefore would not have to lie to flatter him. Cordelia pretentiously picks up that the question posed her by Lear is not 'How much do you love me?' but 'What can you say to draw / A third more opulent than your sisters?' (I:i lines 81-2), i.e. 'What can you say to better their flattery'. Lear misconstrues her answer, but she makes no effort to explain herself. It would be kinder to him for her to answer differently, saving him from his scheming older daughters, but Cordelia thinks only of herself at this point, selfishly preserving her integrity and moral dignity at all costs. Far from being a 'Cinderella figure' caught up in circumstances beyond her control, Cordelia can decide which route to take, and does so unscrupulously and unremorsefully.

Lear and Cordelia are therefore both egotistical, but in different ways. Cordelia is fervently protective of her dignity and honour; she uses personal pronouns nine times in lines 219-228 of act one scene one, during a speech that expresses concern not for that fact that she has been exiled, but that the true reason of her banishment is made known so that people may not think her guilty of an 'unchaste action, or dishonoured step' (line 224). Her concern is in the wrong province. Lear's egocentricity is of a subtly different nature, as he thinks not in terms of purity but of ultimate power. Although the Divine Right of Kings did not exist in the pagan world of the play, it was a major issue for the Jacobean audience and manifests itself unconsciously in the character of Lear. In assuming that he can relieve himself of the responsibility of kingship while retaining the glory, power and respect, Lear shows that he is thinking only of himself and ignoring the inevitably disastrous results of splitting the kingdom will have for his subjects. His psychological problems begin when, having given up the post of king, he finds that he no longer holds the power that he is used to, and his usual method of solving disputes by punishment or exile is no longer possible. Not surprisingly for one who has been in control for so long, Lear finds the experience of being subordinate a testing one, and only after a great sacrifice on his part and that of others does he resolve his inner troubles. The difference between Lear and Cordelia in this is that she has insight at the beginning of the play, and foresees the coming troubles, saying 'Time shall unfold what plighted cunning hides' (I:i line 276), but does not do anything, whereas Lear gains his insight too late, when it is of no use. They are both therefore tragically impotent, a feature common to many of the 'good' characters in the play in their different ways. One of the main themes of the play, and a problem which runs through the course of history, is the need for a compromise between Cordelia's persuasive stubborn insight and Lear's quick acting but unguided wrath. The opportunity for this medium seems to me to be lacking in the characters remaining at the end of the play, giving little hope for the future.

Cordelia clearly inherits some features of her personality from her father, as already mentioned, but her character as a whole is much more complete than that of Lear. She is part of the younger generation who are ironically far wiser and certainly shrewder than the majority of the older generation. However, for all this, they are ultimately no better. While she is not perfect, Cordelia does not suffer from inferiority complexes as Lear does after giving up his crown, and she has a strongly compassionate side. This feature is lacking in Lear until he recognises Cordelia once again in IV:vii. We see evidence in this scene and scene four of the same act of the love Cordelia has for Lear, a pure and 'true' love, as Cordelia says in I:i, the love which she was loathe to dress up in word play for fear of debasing it. She talks of 'My mourning and important tears' (IV:v line 26), and how 'No blown ambition doth our arms incite, / But love, dear love, and our aged father's right.' (IV:v lines 27-8) ­ this is an instance of pure, unconditional love, rare in this play, so full as it is of scheming and calculated feelings and expressions. Cordelia knows that in bringing an army to England she is treading a very dangerous path and her actions will likely be taken as an act of war, as a powerful ruler looking to capitalise on the disarray of a divided kingdom. Cordelia is stressing in these lines that it is nothing of the sort, but in fact a manifestation of pure and unwavering love for her father. One great tragedy is that Lear is responsible for Cordelia's death: she is there solely because of him. Furthermore, Cordelia is killed just as Lear is developing a state of mind in which he can truly appreciate her love, so they are robbed of the good that comes of Lear's madness. He says on being sent to prison, 'We two alone will sing like birds I' the cage. / When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down / And ask of thee forgiveness' (V:iii lines 9-11). Lear doesn't mind being in prison, as long as he is with Cordelia, and he has her forgiveness. The final cruel injustice of Cordelia's death directly causes Lear's death, because it renders his 'rebirth to sanity' as futile as the rest of the events in the play. Without her, he has no raison d'être, and he 'faints', as Edgar says. As Kent notes, 'He but usurped his life' (V;iii line 317): Lear was holding onto life through sheer force of will, and as soon as his will is broken, as it so utterly is by the tragedy of Cordelia's death, his body expires as well.

Other examples of pure love such as Cordelia's are France's love for Cordelia, Edgar's love for Gloucester, to a point, and the Fool and Kent's love for Lear. This unreserved love is impossible for Lear at the beginning of the play. Certainly he is not completely cold, but the love he bears is heavily repressed, often confused, and even misplaced. This leads him to lash out and hurt those who he truly loves; his love is easily turned to hate, possibly because his arrogant egocentricity is in fact concealing a certain level of insecurity and fear of commitment. Lear's role as king has meant that he has had to remain impersonal and removed from his subjects, and even from his family. He is unsure of himself in personal relationships, and needs to be told that he is adored, hence the apparently vain 'love contest' which starts the play. This need leaves him prey to self-advancing Machiavellian schemers like Goneril and Regan, and goes some way to explaining why he is a poor judge of character. The experience of madness, of being reduced to the 'basest and most poorest shape', as Edgar says (II:iii line 7), strips him of the complications of the kingly persona. It shows him what it is like to be 'unaccommodated man', to have only the things absolutely necessary for the sustenance of human existence, something he had no concept of before. The tragedy is that this comes too late: really Lear needed this knowledge when he was still king, as it is useless in his position after his 'semi-abdication'. This knowledge does however allow him to be reconciled with Cordelia, if only for the very short while between their meeting and her death. The change in Lear shows us that there is a parental link at the source of Cordelia's compassion, but the unloving coldness of Goneril and Regan lead us to believe that it must be a weak one. That Cordelia can be strong and yet compassionate is a major factor in determining our liking for her.

Unlike Cinderella, who was in effect an innocent bystander while predestined events shaped her life and her fortune, Cordelia's existentialist attitude combined with her strong sense of duty and honour are key in determining the course of events, which amplifies the tragedy of her fate. Cordelia is a tough character, strong willed and somewhat self-centred like her father, but ultimately she is a better person than he at the beginning of the play, being insightful, loving and pure where he is blind, vain and corrupted by power. Indeed Cordelia is the only character with true power (she is Queen of France) that that power does not corrupt, and therefore the sole prospect for future peace and diligent rule in England. Edgar is too weak and stupid, and although he has improved to an extent by the end of the play, and shows that he can act quickly when he appears to slay Edmund, he lacks the insight required to make a truly effective ruler. His descent into a false 'madness' is the Shakespearean equivalent of burying his head in the sand, a tendency that does not bode well for his rule to come. This is yet another element of the tragedy of Cordelia's death. It is the death of hope.

Introduction

Innovation can be defined as the processes where new ideas are applied to the products, processes, or other aspects of the activities in a firm and transferred to a plant and/or market that lead to increased ‘value’. Innovation is described into two types by the economist: product and process. A product innovation refers to the act of bringing something new to the marketplace that helps to improve the range and quality of products. For instance, the Apple iPod is an innovation compared with the Sony Walkman,which was a portable device for playing music prior. Similarly, process innovation refers to the better approach for making or delivering goods or services. For instance, visiting the specialist and recording for an appointment by touching a screen as opposed to conversing with a receptionist. On the other hand,Technological innovation implies recognizing new technological possibilities, arranging the human and financial resources that are expected to change ideas into useful products or processes, and carrying out effective activities. SA950 3D Monitor by Samsung,Wireless Charging Technology From Ecoupled, Touch Mouse by Microsoft are some examples of technological innovation. Current Technology trend in general refers to the innovation that is recently becoming popular and well known and is promptly acknowledged in the market or industry. Some biggest technological trends in 2020 are:Artificial Intelligence (AI) -as-a-service, 5G data networks, Autonomous Driving, Personalized and predictive medicine,Computer Vision and so on. Emerging technology or say rising innovation is a term generally used to portray new technology, but it may also refer to the continuing development of an existing or current technology. For example,Artificial intelligence, 3D printing, Gene therapy, Cancer vaccines, Nanotechnology, Robotics and so on.

Innovation is currently developing at such a fast pace, that yearly expectations of trends can appear to be obsolete before they even go live as a published blog entry or article. As innovation advances, it empowers much quicker change and progress, causing an increasing speed of the pace of progress, until in the long run, it will get exponential. We are in the midst of the fourth Industrial Revolution, and innovation is advancing quicker than at any other time. Organizations and people that don't stay aware of a portion of the significant technological patterns risk being deserted. Understanding the key patterns will permit individuals and organizations to get ready and handle the chances. As a business and innovation futurist, it is necessary to look forward and recognize the most significant trends. Here are some latest innovative technologies useful for business information systems and they are:Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Robotic Process Automation or RPA, Edge Computing, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), Cybersecurity and so on. Among these, we will identify and discuss in detail about one of the current technology technology trends; Internet of Things (IoT).

Internet of Things (IoT)

Many “things” are presently being built with WiFi connectivity, which means they can be associated with the Internet and to each other. Hence, the Internet of Things, or IoT. The Internet of Things is the future and has already empowered devices, home appliances, vehicles and significantly more to be associated with and trade information over the Internet. Furthermore, we have just started with phases of IoT: the number of IoT devices reached 8.4 billion in 2017 is expected to reach 30 billion devices by 2020. The Internet of things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines and has the capacity to transfer data as information over a network without expecting human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.The meaning of the Internet of things has developed because of the union of various innovations, ongoing examination, AI, ware sensors, and installed systems.In the consumer market, IoT technology is most synonymous with products relating to the idea of the 'smart home', covering devices and appliances;such as lighting fixtures, thermostats, home security systems and cameras, and other home appliances) that supports one or more common ecosystems, and can be controlled by the means of devices related with that ecosystem. For example,smartphones and smart speakers.

If we look at the history, the main concept of a network of smart devices was discussed in early 1982, with a modified Coca-Cola vending machine which became the first Internet based appliance that was able to report. Similarly, Mark Weiser's, 'The Computer of the 21st Century', for example, UbiComp and PerCom produced the contemporary vision of the IoT. The term 'Internet of things' was likely coined by Kevin Ashton of Procter & Gamble in 1999. Though, he prefers the phrase 'Internet for things', at that point, he viewed radio-frequency identification (RFID) as essential to the Internet of things which would permit computers to deal with all individual things. The key behind the Internet of things is the MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor, or MOS transistor),which was originally invented by Mohamed M. Atalla and Dawon Kahng at Bell Labs in 1959. This MOSFET is the basic building block of most modern electronics such as computers, smartphones, tablets and Internet services.

IoT devices are made for consumer use including connected vehicles, home automation, wearable technology, associated health, and appliances with remote monitoring capabilities. IoT devices are the portion of the larger concept of home automation which can incorporate lighting, warming and cooling, media and security systems. For example, Apple's HomeKit, manufacturers have their home products and accessories which are controlled by an application in iOS devices such as the iPhone and the Apple Watch. This could be a dedicated app or iOS native applications such as Siri. There are additionally committed smart home hubs that are offered as independent platforms to connect distinctive smart home products such as the Amazon Echo, Google Home, Apple's HomePod, and Samsung's SmartThings Hub. The IoT can assist in the integration of communications, control, and information processing across various transportation systems. Dynamic association between these parts of a transport system enables inter and intra vehicular communication, smart traffic control, smart parking, electronic toll collection systems, logistics and fleet management, vehicle control, safety, and road assistance. IoTplatform can persistently monitor the location and conditions of loads and resources by the means of wireless sensors and send specific cautions when executive cases occur such as delays, harms, robberies, damages, thefts, etc. This can be possible with the IoT and its consistent availability among devices. Sensors,for example, GPS, Humidity, and Temperature send data to the IoT platform and then these data are analyzed and sent to the users. Significantly, farmers are now able to monitor soil temperature and moisture, and even apply IoT obtained data to exactness fertilization programs. For instance,In August 2018, Toyota Tsusho started an association with Microsoft to create fish farming tools using the Microsoft Azure application suite for IoT technologies related to water management. In addition, researchers from Kindai University created the water pump mechanisms using artificial intelligence to tally the number of fish, analyze, and deduce the effectiveness of water flow from the data. These specific computer programs used in the process fall under the Azure Machine Learning and the Azure IoT Hub platforms.

There are several planned or ongoing large-scale deployments of the IoT for the better management of urban areas and systems. For instance, Songdo, South Korea, the first of its sort fully equipped and wired smart city, is gradually being built, with approximately 70 percent of the business area finished in June 2018. Most city is planned to be wired and automated with a little or zero human intervention. Similarly, a currently undergoing project in Santander, Spain. This city of 180,000 inhabitants has already observed 18,000 downloads of its city smartphone app. The app is connected to 10,000 sensors that empowers services like parking search, environmental monitoring, digital city agenda, and more. Other examples of large-scale deployments underway include the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge Citywork on improving air and water quality, reducing noise pollution, and increasing transportation efficiency in San Jose, California and smart traffic management in western Singapore. Also, one completed by New York Waterways in New York City to connect all the city's vessels and to monitor them live 24/7. Environmental monitoring applications of the IoT typically use sensors to assist in environmental protection by monitoring air or water quality,earthquake or tsunami early-warning systems which might help by emergency services to provide more effective aid.

In recent years, IoT’s major significant trend is the excessive growth of devices connected and controlled by the Internet. The IoT creates opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems resulting in proficiency upgrades, economic benefits, and decreased human exertions.

The number of IoT devices expanded 31% year-over-year to 8.4 billion in 2017 and evaluated that there will be 30 billion devices by 2020.The global market value of IoT is estimated to reach $7.1 trillion by 2020. As consumers, we’re utilising and benefitting from IoT. We can bolt our entryways remotely and preheat our ovens on our way home from work, all while following our fitness on our Fitbits and hailing a ride with Lyft. The IoT can empower better safety, efficiency, and decision making for businesses as data is collected and analysed. It also empowers predictive maintenance, speed up medical care, improve customer service, and offer benefits. However, despite this shelter in the development and appropriation of IoT, experts state insufficient IT professionals are getting trained for IoT jobs/positions. For example, an article at ITProToday says,”we’ll need 200,000 more IT workers that aren’t yet in the pipeline, and that a survey of engineers found 25.7 percent believe inadequate skill levels to be the industry’s biggest obstacle to growth”. Skills needed include IoT security, cloud computing knowledge, data analytics, automation, understanding of embedded systems, device knowledge, and so on. All things considered, it's the Internet of Things, and they are numerous and different, which means skills are required as well.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there are both positives and negative impacts of technological innovation and disruptive innovation. On one hand, Technology enables communication among people and helps to communicate with people all over the world through email, instant messaging, Skype, social media, etc. The internet is the biggest advantage because people get not only valuable information but they can also share their experience. Similarly, Technology is very essential to the students as they can take the online courses and degree online as well. Technology helps the organisation to save time and earn lots of money. They use the technology to communicate, share the information to different people even without calling a meeting or necessarily printing materials. In addition, Technology has improved transportation, mechanized agriculture, improved communication, education & learning process. Despite the fact that technology may have positive changes in the world,on the other hand, there is evidence for the negative role of technology and its overuse, as well. For examples, Social media and mobile devices may lead to psychological and physical issues, such as eyestrain and difficulty in focusing or concentrating on important tasks. It may also contribute to major serious health conditions, such as depression. The overuse of technology may also have a significant impact on the development of children and teenagers. It can also interfere with daily activities or work. A person might be losing sleep or skipping physical activities due to technology use causing stress or anxiety, or physical side effects, such as tension headaches, eye strain, muscle pain, or overuse injuries.

Being overly connected to a technology can cause psychological issues such as distraction, narcissism, expectation of instant gratification, and even depression. Besides, it can also affect users' mental health. The use of technology also has negative consequences on physical health causing vision problems, hearing loss, and neck strain. Last but not least, innovation outweighs positive influence more than negative on company culture as it increases the ability to acquire, create and make the best use of competencies, skills and knowledge. Innovation practices help to build a culture of continuous learning, growth and personal development. Overall, technology has changed the world and it is very essential to us and it plays a vital role in our life.

The concept of the "right to fail" has been widely debated in the context of innovation and progress. The right to fail refers to the idea that individuals and businesses should be allowed to fail without interference from the government or other institutions. This concept is often associated with capitalism, as it is believed to encourage innovation and risk-taking. However, the impact of the right to fail on innovation and progress is complex and multifaceted.

Positive Sides of "The Right to Fail" on Businesses and Innovations

One of the main arguments in favor of the right to fail is that it promotes innovation and progress. The reasoning is that when individuals and businesses know that they can fail without repercussions, they are more likely to take risks and try new things. This, in turn, can lead to innovation and progress. The right to fail also allows for the natural selection of businesses, where the most efficient and innovative companies survive, while the less successful ones fail. This can lead to a more efficient allocation of resources and a more dynamic economy.

The right to fail promotes innovation and progress by creating a culture of risk-taking and experimentation. When individuals and businesses know that they can fail without repercussions, they are more likely to take risks and try new things. This can lead to increased experimentation and the development of new products, services, and technologies. For example, the development of new technologies such as the internet, smartphones, and social media were all the result of businesses taking risks and experimenting with new ideas.

Furthermore, the right to fail also allows for the natural selection of businesses, where the most efficient and innovative companies survive, while the less successful ones fail. This can lead to a more efficient allocation of resources and a more dynamic economy. The competition between businesses can lead to the development of new products, services and technologies that better meet the needs of consumers, while the failure of less efficient or innovative businesses can free up resources for more successful ventures.

Moreover, the right to fail also creates an environment that is conducive to entrepreneurship and small business growth. Entrepreneurs and small businesses are often the ones that drive innovation and progress. They are more likely to take risks, experiment with new ideas and push the boundaries of what is possible. When individuals and businesses have the right to fail, it allows them to take these risks without fear of failure, which can lead to the development of new products, services and technologies.

In addition, the right to fail can also drive the development of new industries and markets. When businesses are allowed to fail, it can lead to the emergence of new business models and industries. For example, the rise of e-commerce and the sharing economy are a direct result of the right to fail, as businesses were able to experiment with new business models and create new markets.

Negative Sides of "The Right to Fail" on Businesses and Innovations

On the other hand, the right to fail can also have negative consequences on innovation and progress. For example, when businesses are allowed to fail without interference, it can lead to a lack of investment in long-term research and development, as businesses may be more focused on short-term profits rather than on developing new technologies or products. Additionally, the right to fail can lead to increased inequality, as the wealthy are more able to weather economic downturns and recover from failure, while the less wealthy may not have the same opportunities to innovate and progress.

Furthermore, the right to fail can also lead to a lack of regulation and oversight, which can lead to a lack of accountability for the negative consequences of failure. This can lead to a lack of protection for consumers and workers, as well as negative environmental impacts. This can also lead to a lack of trust in the system and a lack of public support for innovation and progress.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the right to fail has both positive and negative impacts on innovation and progress. It can lead to increased innovation, progress and efficiency, but also to increased inequality, lack of investment in long-term research and development, lack of regulation and oversight, and lack of trust in the system. It's important for society to consider these impacts when discussing the right to fail and strive for a balance between the benefits and negative consequences.

When engineers took on the task of putting a man in space and on the moon, they knew that there would be an uncountable number of challenges ahead of them. They were breaking new ground but were also creating and discovering everything as they went along. There were many spacesuits before the Apollo missions, many of them prototypes or concepts, but very few were used in space missions. But the Apollo suit would have to be much different from all the rest as it had to go to a place no spacesuit was ever designed to go to, the moon. In this report, I will outline the functions the spacesuits needed to carry out. What type of environment they need to survive in. And what was installed on these suits to allow them to carry out and survive these functions and environments.

The moon’s surface does not contain very many properties similar to those we experience on earth. For starters, it has no atmosphere and therefore no gases are contained inside the non-existent atmosphere. There is no oxygen for the astronauts to respirate because of these properties. Since there is no atmosphere on the moon, it basically shares the same properties at space. Because of this, the moon’s surface is a vacuum. With that being said, the pressure on the moon’s surface is 1.3x10-11 Pa. The earth's average atmospheric pressure is 1.020x105 Pa. That’s 8 Quadrillion times higher than the pressure on the moon. The temperature of space is about 270o C in direct sunlight and -170o C in no sunlight. We do not experience these harsh temperatures on earth as our atmosphere protects us. It keeps the temperature cooler in direct sunlight and warmer when not in sunlight e.g. night time.

The engineers tasked with making the spacesuit for Apollo 11 would have to effectively make a mini atmosphere around the astronauts, but still, be flexible enough to carry out tasks on the surface of the moon.

Spacesuits before Apollo 11 were basically upgraded high altitude suits. Meaning that they allowed the astronaut to breathe in the cockpits of their spaceship during space flight. All models did have a small bit of an artificial atmosphere present inside them, and some incorporated built-in radio communications devices. One thing all spacesuits used in spaceflight before Apollo 11 have in common is the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord was the term given to the tube that connected the spacesuit to the ship. Through this tube, oxygen mixtures were passed through to allow the astronaut to breathe, as well as radio communication wires and vital information. Spacewalks were essentially when an astronaut exits a spacecraft into space, purposely. This was the beginning of the Apollo 11 space suit as many of the same requirements were needed for both types of spacesuits. These spacesuits needed to be able to withstand small meteorites hitting off them along with creating a small atmosphere inside the spacesuits and supply the astronaut with oxygen, cooling, and radio communications. But these suits still had the umbilical cord design incorporated. This was something that had to be scraped for the Apollo 11 mission.

The company ILC Dover, a bra-making company was chosen from a list of candidates to design and create the spacesuit while The Hamilton Standard was chosen to create the life support system, aka the ‘backpack’. For this many, more innovations would be needed to create this masterpiece of engineering. The spacesuit would have to be a soft design for the amount of flexibility that they needed to complete the tasks they were required to do. Spacesuits at the time were between ideas of having a hard design, being mostly made up of metal, or a soft design which would be mostly all fabric. Hard designs would be easier to create and seal effectively, and engineers would be more used to working with metal. But the soft design was superior as it allowed the astronauts greater mobility which would be needed for scientific research and take-off and landing. The spacesuit's oxygen supply would be very different to the ones that came before it. This time it had to be fitted inside a ‘backpack’ (Life support system) that the astronaut had to wear. The oxygen tanks and filtration system were located inside the backpack and was connected to the main spacesuit by tubes. The tubes had a dial on the side of it to direct the flow, there where two options, 50% to the helmet and 50% to the arms and legs. Or 100% to the helmet. The backpack was capable of supplying 2.8Ls-1 or 5.7Ls-1 of oxygen to the suit. The suit could also be hooked up to the oxygen supply of the spaceship, but that function was hardly ever used. The suit also had to protect the astronaut from small asteroids or micrometeorites. The suit's fabric had many layers of different materials to protect against this and other effects of space. The outside layer had a TeFlou® fabric which was very good at controlling and insulating the user against solar radiation. The second layer was something called ‘Super Beta Cloth’. This material could withstand the heat of up to 650oC. This was a must after the fire that occurred in the cockpit of Apollo 1 which killed all three astronauts. The rest of the layers were made up of alternating Mylar® film, Dacron®, and Beta Marquisette, which all worked really well at shielding the astronauts from solar and galactic radiation.

The helmets they had consisted of two parts. The first was the original glass ‘fishbowl’ (pressure helmet) that covered all of the astronaut’s entire head and connected with special fittings that would hold the seal. This inner part had a small valve that could be used to pass food through in case there was an emergency and they couldn’t remove the spacesuits. The second part was the extravehicular visor assembly which went over the pressure helmet and had multiple visors made of polycarbonate and gold-coated polysulfone to protect the astronaut from solar radiation and the intense light from the sun.

The spacesuits were made of multiple layers, one of which went on before the actual spacesuit itself. Under the heavy spacesuit made up of the material referred to in the previous paragraph, an overall layer went on the astronauts. It was called the heat exchange system and was like a modified set of ‘long johns’. The fabric would be covered in small plastic tubes. Through these plastic tubes, cold water was pumped from the backpack to cool down the astronaut from his own body heat. This worked in much the same way as a refrigerator does. In this layer, there was also a system for collecting urine. As the astronauts didn’t have any other means of urinating, a tube was placed inside the astronaut’s urethra (much like in hospitals for bed-bound patients) and was piped out to a collection system in the astronaut’s backpack. As for defecation, a return to the astronaut’s younger years was needed, as they were issued adult-sized diapers for the trip. There was (and still is) no better way to deal with the waste.

This would be the first time that man would have stepped on the surface of any other planetary object in the universe besides Earth. Therefore, footwear would have to be provided. Something that never had to be too developed in the past as other spaceflights didn’t require any landings. The shoe sole was made of a molded silicone rubber while the upper parts were made of more Beta Cloth with layers of aluminized Mylar® and Dacron®. These boots were not the only pair the astronauts wore. Inside these ‘lunar boots’ they had their ‘pressure garment boot’ which was the actual boot that sealed in the astronaut. The lunar boot was more for added protection against sharp rocks from bursting the astronaut's pressure suit.

With all these innovations that were all developed specifically for this landing, engineers were able to supply the astronaut with enough protection to make it to the moon and back, safely.

Conclusions

Spacesuits came a long way in the space of ten years before the Apollo 11 mission. But after that our designs have stayed basically the same despite some upgrades or modifications. This is one of the more significant innovations in the engineering of all time. It allowed us to explore beyond our planet and step onto others. Overall the new spacesuit design was a huge success. Not only did it advance our understanding of materials and fabrics, but it also allowed to ask questions about our anatomy in an environment other than our own. A study that’s continuing to this day.

Introduction

The world around us is changing at a pace unmatched in the human history. So, applying technology and accelerating innovations to find new solutions for old and emerging challenges are of utmost importance now. Healthcare services comprises of hospitals, medical devices, telemedicine, medical tourism, health insurance and medical equipment among many others.

Healthcare industry has become one of India’s largest sectors - both in terms of employment and revenue generation. India spends around 5% of its GDP on health, and yet, the current state of the healthcare system faces significant systemic challenges. To overcome some of these, strategic planning by the government for the provision of healthcare services are urgently required. Also technological innovations and new ideas can only work if designed with a clear understanding of the current set-up’s drawbacks.

“Old ways won’t open new doors” - A common saying

Innovations in health sector

The trends in advancements in medicine were visible from nineteenth to twentieth century. Wherein initially the focus was on improving the nutritional status and later people became aware of the concept of sanitation and hygiene and adopted preventive methods for tackling deadly diseases. This was also the time of development of immunisation and vaccines for diseases like polio, etc. It was this era when people subsequently realised the importance of health and hygiene. Also, they were able to understand what all factors caused disease and illness.

This was followed by improvements in machines for easier functioning of doctors and subsequently led to advancements in surgeries and various surgical procedures. With the current innovations in healthcare sector quality of life and the life expectancy has increased and mortality rates have decreased all over the world. These innovations are numerous and have affected all fields of medicine.

In neuroscience, the technological advancements of CT scan and MRI have helped in understanding the blood supply and working of brain and now along with other forms of imaging techniques we can even detect brain cancers at early stages. Recently, a key gene causing microcephaly (a disorder marked by smaller than normal brain size and mental retardation) has been detected. Immunotherapy is another treatment modality with the potential to significantly extend survival for cancer patients, without any negative side effects or heavy pricing like that of traditional chemotherapy. It helps our immune system fight cancer.

Perhaps the biggest contribution of medical innovations is in the field of genetics and research. Gene sequencing is used in molecular biology to study genomes and the proteins they encode. Information obtained using this allows us to identify changes in genes, associations with genetic disorders, identify potential drug targets and also the population at risk. There are many more such innovations and their contribution to diagnostics and treatment is tremendous.

Another medical innovation which has gained popularity recently is Artificial intelligence. It deals with the simulation of intelligent behaviour in computers. The capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behaviour and perform tasks with greater speed, accuracy, and lower resource utilization.

The use of new surgical procedures with latest technology has decreased the post-operative risks in heart surgeries or any other major surgery. Many disorders that in the past required extensive operations can now be treated with laparoscopic interventions. This has resulted in decreased time, increased efficiency and decreased costs for the procedure.

The Robotic surgery is also gaining a lot of attention because it is minimally invasive surgery and involves a lot of precision, decreased blood loss, less pain and quick healing. Recently robotic surgery of thorax was being performed in Delhi.

In the current scenario where, diabetic patients are on a rise, it is very important to discover new treatment modalities for them. Apart from the drug therapy, many new surgical procedures have been developed in this respect. Biocon (leading pharmaceutical company) has not only developed Insulins in India but has also developed two affordable novel biologics for the benefit of cancer and psoriasis patients in India.

Health and information technology

It is one of the less explored areas in the health sector. IT is used mainly in corporate hospitals or big pharmaceutical companies. Although now the trends are changing. Among all the medical innovations, the use of TELEMEDICINE has been perhaps the most beneficial to the patients as well as the doctors. It involves the use of telecommunication and information technology to provide clinical health care from a distance. It is the best way to treat patients who live far away from health care facilities. It potentially reduces hospital visits and travel time. The technology is also useful in medical education and training of doctors and paramedical staff located in remote locations in the country.

Next we have Biosensors and trackers which are basically used to monitor health. A clinically applied biosensor is used to monitor blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Apart from these, Electronic Health Record (EHR) is finding its way into many health care settings. It systematically collects electronic health information about individual patients, records it in digital format which can be shared across different health care centres.

Digital health knowledge resource is a concept where contents are stored in digital format in digital medical library. It is designed to assist physicians, health professionals, students, and medical researchers in finding health and scientific information to improve, update, assess or evaluate health care.

Medical tourism

Another innovation which has gained popularity in recent times is Medical Tourism. It refers to people traveling to a country other than their own to obtain medical treatment. Medical tourism is a growing sector in India. The primary reason that attracts people from other parts of the world travel to India is cost-effectiveness, and also the treatment facilities offered are at par with developed countries.

In this respect, cardiac surgeon Dr. Devi Shetty is striving to make access to quality healthcare non-discriminatory. He is the founder of Narayana health, Bangalore and has successfully made medical care accessible and affordable to the masses. His hospital offers heart surgeries at a fraction of what it costs in developed countries and is a medical Mecca for patients from Africa and other parts of the world. The cost of open heart surgery in this hospital is quite less as compared to the ones in America, and the success rates are as good as in the best American hospitals.

The rise in technical advancements have led to a hike in costs at which these facilities are available to the customers. This has increased the imbalance between the rich and the poor. Many people from the rural areas or those belonging to weaker sections of the society cannot access these medical innovations because they are too costly. But these are in the best interests of humanity and in the long run these innovations and advancements may raise our quality of life and standard of living.

Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced. Entrepreneurs need to search purposefully for the sources of innovation, the changes and their symptoms that indicate opportunities for successful innovation. And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation. (Drucker, 1986)

Innovation is an important tool in entrepreneurship. It helps provide resources with a new capacity to create wealth.

Seven Sources of Innovation

When we talk about innovation in a systematic manner, we need to monitor the areas where we can innovate. These areas are known as the sources of innovation. The first four sources lie within the business or the industry. And the last three are sources from outside the industry. These are:

    • The Unexpected Source

This could be an unexpected success or failure of a product/service that leads to innovation

    • The Incongruity Source

This comes from a difference between what a product/service actually is and what everybody else assumes it to be.

    • Innovation based on process need

This comes by redesigning the weak spots within the process of a business.

    • Changes in industry structure or market structure

Innovation can also come from changes in the industry which push a business to find a new way to make them successful.

    • Changing Demographics

A change in the demographics of the target customer can lead a business to innovate new products/services for the customer.

    • Changing perceptions, mood or meaning

Over time the people & population changes and so do their perceptions. Innovations can arise from these changing ideas in the customer group

    • New Knowledge

Any new knowledge, scientific or non-scientific, can lead to a oath of innovation

Types of Innovation

Depending on the type of technology & market – existing & new, we can categories four types of innovations.

    • Incremental Innovation

This is the most common form of innovation. When innovation takes place in an existing market with an existing technology, the innovation is referred to as incremental innovation. It uses existing technologies to improve a product/service being offered to the customers in an existing market. Today, all companies utilize incremental innovation to improve their business. It can be a small change in just the way the product is viewed by the customer. For example, it can be introducing a new feature on an existing website.

    • Disruptive Innovation

Also known as Stealth Innovation, disruptive innovation is when business uses a new technology to provide the customer with something new in an existing market. It takes time for disruptive innovation to get recognized by the market as the new technology is often difficult to understand. Generally, disruptive innovation starts at the bottom of the market & slowly captures the customers in the market. A great example of disruptive innovation is the Apple iPhone.

    • Architectural Innovation

Taking existing technological knowledge and incorporating it into new markets is called Architectural Innovation. The risk involved with architectural innovation is very less as it relies on proven technology & its benefits. The technology is then made to adapt to the expectations of the new market.

    • Radical Innovation

Radical innovation gives birth to new markets and new technology. It creates something revolutionary. For example, the creation of the airline industry involved the use of a new technology to create a new market segment.

In this short paper about self driving cars I state that the responsibility lies on the inventors of the self-driving cars for ensuring the safety of the people on the road, except in some cases which are to state below, together with the supporting opinions.

The most important certainty that we have, is that, before self-driving cars began existing, human beings went through a procedure of formulating innovative ideas, which led up to the final stage of invention. Human beings in their true nature, may err, hence, it usually happens that, they might design algorithms but because they are not machines, some logarithms consist of errors. The innovators of these self-driving cars are promising, proper data collection in the self-driving cars, providing a quick deployment, high and deterministic performance, along with the efficiency that is incredible in terms of application, controlling, packet processing and signal processing, all through artificial intelligent. All the promises they have, do not dismiss the fact that, self-driving cars are a result of human input and thus cannot be 100% safe.

Innovators of self-driving cars or computer engineers, behind the invention of the self-driving cars, must be held responsible as they are the ones promising the safety of their products. An example can be given in these ways, as much as the owner of the food brand that resulted in food poisoning unintentionally, in the society is held accountable, so should the computer engineer who put together self-driving cars. In as much self-driving cars have the potential to dramatically reduce 90% of all crashes that result from driver error, the 10% must be accounted for, if it is at an expense of a human's life. A human life is of great value and possess human rights which need to be always respected. The legislation has also put in place measures to punish violations against those rights. Thus, if self-driving cars injured or killed a human being, there must be a party who will be accountable for the incident. Now, exception will come into play in cases where human beings have been negligent in the sense that, the party being hit by the car was reckless, was drunk and was at fault or the party operating the self-driving car, neglected precautions that must be followed, prior to operating the car.

So, despite its capabilities it requires a proper route planning, decision making, motion planning and vehicle control in the road that is shared among the other vehicles that are either human centered or self-driving human assisted vehicle or the fully self driving cars and the pedestrian. Until such has been established properly, the responsibility will lie on innovators and inventors excluding in cases of exceptions.
