SSD better than HDD

 This is the myth. One of the biggest myths in computing is that an SSD (solid state drive) is always better than a standard HDD (hard disk drive). This idea dates back to when we started building computers. We could fit more data into a smaller amount of space with an SSD, so it seemed like these drives were superior when comparing them against their traditional HDD counterparts. However, this myth has been around for so long and lived on despite numerous setbacks in the industry, that today many people still believe it's valid. The thing is that while an SSD can hold more data in less space, it also has a number of drawbacks that make it less desirable than its HDD counterpart. Yes, an SSD performs faster than an HDD, but only when you send it small amounts of data. The moment your computer starts loading large pieces of data like video games or movies, the speed at which the data is read from the drive slows down substantially. The difference between both drives becomes even sma...

Data Scientist

 "Data Scientist" is a general term used to describe an individual who analyzes data by using statistics and machine learning. Before the advent of these technologies, this role was created as a science-related profession. Data scientists are responsible for collecting, analyzing and transforming data into insightful information that can be used by businesses. This requires them to have an in-depth understanding of machine learning and statistics. Data scientists are pivotal players in organizations across all industries, especially those affiliated with technologies, investing, healthcare and beyond. They may have a very different role to play in each industry by analyzing data for specific purposes within their industry. For example, a data scientist may be used within the investment sector to look at data from the stock market to predict trends and make decisions on which stocks to invest in .  Every day there is growing demand for these professionals because of the growin...

Computer Scientist

 Computer scientists are thinkers and innovators. They ask questions like how can we make a computer do more? What is the relationship between mathematics, logic, and computing? How can a computer help us be smarter or lead happier lives? In this blog post, you will find out what a computer scientist does. This includes programming and designing computers to solve problems in many different areas like space exploration and medicine. You will also learn about the history of computing from mathematician Ada Lovelace to Silicon Valley companies like Apple Inc., Facebook Inc., Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp., Alphabet Inc. (Google), IBM Corp., and Intel Corp. Computer scientists are thinkers and innovators. They ask questions like how can we make a computer do more?

Block-chain Technology

 Block chain technology is the world’s leading software platform for digital currencies. As a decentralized ledger, it records transactions without the need for a central authority, which means that its network of computers can verify and approve each transaction as legitimate. The way block chain works is similar to how a publicly-shared Google Doc updates instantly on every computer in real time. Every single participant has an up-to-date copy of the blockchain that records all transactions. This makes it virtually impossible for anyone to fraudulently alter the blockchain because there are thousands of computers with thousands of copies of this public ledger who would have to simultaneously agree and keep maintaining their agreement. It’s virtually undeniable proof that your transaction is legitimate. The technology is widely used in digital currencies such as bitcoin or Ethereum and has the potential to extend into a wide range of applications, from banking to the Internet of T...

Quantum Computing

 Quantum computing is a field of computer science and engineering which studies the power of quantum mechanics to perform computations. Many experts predict that quantum computers will usher in a new era of powerful tools for intellectual, industrial, and scientific endeavors; it is also theorized that such machines will be able to do things "thought impossible." Despite very recent progress, there are still many unsolved problems—and not just academic ones.  Although based on the principles of quantum mechanics, this rapidly-moving field has its own distinct features, entailing concepts from physics and mathematics. The subject touches on aspects from both academia and industry. Concepts studied in questions of quantum computing include quantum mechanics, quantum programming (or "quantum algorithms"), quantum error correction, quantum cryptography, and the physics of fundamental particles. In classical computing, information is represented by discrete states or bit...
