Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview

History has  time and again  rewarded men who have lead  the  revolutions of industries with immortal like status of their names and the ideas those names represented. Even fewer so have managed to do so more than once in their lifetime but perhaps there is only one man in history to have consistently achieved said feat  across multiple industries  repeatedly, decade after decade. With the Apple II and it’s significantly faster microprocessor and built in memory along with an audio amplifier, a speaker, a jack to connect joysticks for gameplay as well as a cassette tape drive in the 70s, the Macintosh with it’s revolutionary GUI and bitmapping technology running on an exorbitantly priced Motorola 68000 microprocessor chip despite of which it still stood at a retail price of under a thousand dollars  not to mention i t  was  the very first microcomputer to be operated by a mouse  released  in the 80s, the iPod, a piece of hardware that transformed the way music is consumed with it’s sto

Subjectivity to Art: A Pillar of Identity

 Art of all kind and form remain through some ways united by viewing and opinion. A person’s work is bound to the words of others, it is but a quintessential process to producing and publishing the very piece. Artists have learnt through experience to listen and even crave to some extent, opinionated individuals who view their work in light of openness, anything can be said, anything can be felt. Reviewing is the transaction of valuable thoughts between the maker and the viewer. It’s significance is displayed many a time throughout history yet up the subjectivity of creation seems to be in a diminished state with the modern works.  External influence on subjectivity could be detrimental to art and all its forms considering that the authority of interpretation stands with no one not even the artist. The work can deciphered to have as many meanings it can without the fear of general consensus. While the themes, modes and material used can be agreed upon, the comprehension of the final pr

A Look At History’s Greatest Fathers

Image
History’s August 31 2018 article titled History’s Finest Fathers state some of the remarkable parental related deeds of many reputed figures throughout history including Czar Nicholas II, Charlemagne, Mark Twain and even the father of modern science, Charles Darwin.  So in light of Father’s Day, let’s make an attempt to break down the qualities listed in their specific paragraphs, a few intriguing similarities arise to the surface and perhaps give us an idea of what the role of a good father actually entails. Sacrifice, Endless Duty and Responsibility are common terms thrown around during the conversation of father figures but what exactly are those sacrifices, duties and responsibilities. Can some acts be considered lower or larger compared to others? Are these norms beneficial to parenting or harmful? And perhaps most importantly, what attributes constitute a good father all in all? From the consortium of personalities in the article, we see that many of the men listed here had broke

Hypocritical Act Potentially Caught: WHO

 On February 9 2020, BBC News published an article carrying headlines of WHO’s official investigation analysis regarding the origins of SARS-Cov-2. Head of the World Health Organization, Peter Ben Embarek claimed that it was “extremely unlikely” that the virus would have been spread through misconducts of any sort from a laboratory in China. At the time, the rather obvious anomaly of the sheer speed with which not only the investigation but also the verdict was passed out should have raised eyebrows at the time. Yet the public majorly dismissed any conclusions that were not deemed official and concurred to the statements issued. The rising spread of the pandemic and the beginning of a global recession could be the reason for the lack of public heed to something as strange as this entire matter. Equanimity should have led us to the right standards of questioning and rational decisions yet disregarding the fastidiousness with which we should have assessed the entire situation, due to our

My Experiences Learning Russian

Image
 I have always been with aquiver to communicate with people from all over the world. Polyglots have always seemed intriguing and are taken for granted by many people. For the people who do not know, Polyglot refers to a person who is fluent in 25 or more languages. And so with this enthusiasm and optimism in mind, I decided to learn a language at the very least conversationally through out the quarantine season.  At the beginning, I genuinely did not have any specific language in mind and just kept on researching. When one day, it struck me. I was watching an episode of The Umbrella Academy when one of the protagonists begins to be interrogated in Russian. Russian I thought, I have always had a fascination for the language from movies, shows and books so I thought to give it a shot.  In hindsight, it is almost comical of me to have thought that a predicament would arise due to the lack of  high quality, easy to understand Russian language lessons on the internet but I couldn’t be furth

How Social Media is Endangering Lives in the Pandemic

Under the traumatizing and seemingly lasting effects of the pandemic, Many people on social media still remain in denial of it’s existence entirely. While on surface level this might seem minor and insignificant, the consequences of such posts, comments and videos can play a huge role in the combat against COVID-19.  As avid users of the internet, all of us have certainly at some point come across uncertified news from various sources that lack credibility. This very inexistence of credibility is why we dismiss such articles. But there are often pieces of information on the internet which have less obvious detections of the lack of credibility. Such information confuses the viewer and this is where the problem begins to stem.  While some nations have recognized the dire consequences of these false articles and placed fines and charges against it. Unfortunately, many nations might not have acknowledged the severity of the matter and therefore social media was not regulated.  As a result

How The Elections Really Happen

Image
Everyone has obviously heard of the term ‘democracy’ and know that elections play a huge part in what constitutes the values of a democracy. Elections around the world are done through the method most of us are familiar with, the popular vote. In the popular vote as you already might know, the candidate with the most votes hence the most popular candidate wins.  While most democratic nations comply with this system of election and voting, the US seems to have a far more unique method to it all. The US is the only country to have an ‘electoral college’. So the votes given in by citizens aren’t used in a similar fashion as they are in the popular vote system. The citizen votes are then used to elect who votes from the electoral college, a body of delegates from each state, who then vote on behalf of the designated state.  This sounds complicated as of now but it is indeed important to know that the version of election most of us understand is an extremely watered down version of the actu
