10 projects on the future of Google

10 projects on the future of Google

Google X   สุดยอดโครงการในอนาคตของกูเกิล

As you know, Google - is not only a search engine: The company is a world leader in the creation of gadgets, internet services, and more. The most curious development team is engaged in a secret Google X, and among their projects -  here are 10 ideas that the Internet giant seeks to bring to life. 

1. Car without a driver will make road traffic safer

Experts of Google X for several years working on the project Driverless Car Program. 
Negotiations are underway with the authorities for permission to test the self-governing vehicles on public roads - as long as this agreement only states of California and Nevada. 
A fleet of ten vehicles with test systems allow run over more than 480 thousand km (as of August of 2012), and of course, tests are continuing. However, it is unclear when such a system will be commercially available. 

2. Google Glass will change the way you think about gadgets

Having put on those glasses, you can forget about the screens of smartphones and computers - the right information will always be available in only one eye movements. 
One way to look up - and before you calendar, email, social networks, weather, in general, everything that you want. 
Google Glass makes a revolutionary technology available to a wide range of people so far only a few lucky people, mostly developers and journalists were able to get a working prototype of points, but the consumers opportunity arises next year. 

3. "Smart House" according to Google

The technology, called Android @ Home, will fully automate all of the life support system by connecting to the Internet, for example, while you are not home, a refrigerator will be able to order the necessary products itself, and coffee maker to make coffee exactly to your arrival. 
Android @ Home will connect all electrical appliances.

4. Space elevator

According to published in the journal «Time» information Google X team in 2011, the year included the idea of ​​a "space elevator" in the so-called list of "What if ...". I must say, the very concept of this method of delivery to the orbit of people and goods put forward by K. Tsiolkovsky in 1895, the year. 
Do not wait for Google's early implementation of this idea - the development of "lift into orbit," presents many technical challenges, and all the more likely to say that to implement this idea in life is impossible. However, it's probably Google thus "cover their tracks" to save the process of developing a secret.

5. Watch a smartphone based on Android

Recently, it was reported that Google is preparing a direct competitor iWatch from Apple - a watch, combined with the smartphone: of course, watches SmartWatch smartphone from Google will use the operating system Android. 
This latest «must have»-new to the gadget lovers will be available early next year.

6. Google will take care of your health

The Internet giant has a stake in the company Adimab, engaged in the development of diagnostics and treatment of various diseases, which would bring a variety of technologies and methods to combat diseases. The revolutionary idea is the invention of miniature sensors involved in the search and optimization of antibodies produced by the body - to start treatment only need to swallow such a sensor. 
Another development in the field of Google Health is a subsidiary of iPierian, creating the technology of "cellular reprogramming» (cellular reprogramming), which will fight the disease by modifying cells.

7. Internet airships cover the entire planet wireless

Google's ambitions as a provider of Internet reached all-time highs - the company is developing airships that will provide wireless connectivity the entire planet, including remote regions in Africa and other parts of the Earth. 
If the project is realized, the "world wide web" will get about another 1 billion people - mostly residents of the "third world."

8. Game console based on Android

The popularity of the Android platform is growing all over the world, and Google is seeking to use its potential to the maximum. 
«Wall Street Journal» spoke about the development of the gaming console from Google, which is designed to be a "killer" similar technology "Yabloko» - Apple TV: game console from Google allows you to run any Android-games directly on your home television.

9. The way Google determines the development of smart phones Motorola

Buy Google of Motorola Mobility (transaction was $ 12.5 billion) to become the owner of the first allowed 24.5 thousand patents and designs. 
Under the wing of the Internet giant will release a smartphone Motorola Moto X based on Android, which has all the modern features and characteristics, as well as, of course, a number of trendy "chips", which has no rivals - release date already quite close.

10. Eco-friendly sources of energy

The company Makani Power - developer of advanced technologies in the use of wind and solar energy: Google previously invested in the company a lot of money, and recently acquired in its entirety and included in the project, which deals with Google X. 
The best-known development Makani Power - wind turbines, hovering at an altitude of almost 300 m to 650 m-minute and allow to generate electricity out of thin air.

Internet Connection Problems

Internet Connection Problems

Sometimes Internet connection problem can be our frustration. Rather than pressing F5-key and  trying to reload the website when we experience a problem, here are some ways we can troubleshoot the problem and identify the cause.

Ensure we check the physical connections before getting too involved with troubleshooting. Anyone could have accidentally kicked the router or modem’s power cable or pulled an Ethernet cable out of a socket, causing the problem.

Ping

Ping  (wikipedia.org) is a computer network administration utility used to test the reach-ability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer.

The name comes from active sonar terminology which sends a pulse of sound and listens for the echo to detect objects underwater. 

One of the first things to try when our connection doesn’t seem to be working properly is the ping command. Open a Command Prompt window from your "Start button" using the "cmd" command  and type a command like ping google.com .

Modem & Router Issues

 

Sometimes our modems or routers can cause the problem of Internet connection. A modem is a device that communicates with your Internet service provider (ISP), e.g. TOT, while the router shares the connection among all the computers and other networked devices in our home network. In my case (and also other students' cases ) , the modem and the router of mine is the same device, so it is called the "modem-router".

 Let's take a look at the modem-router. If green lights are flashing on it, that’s normal and indicates network traffic. If we see a steady, blinking orange light, that generally indicates the problem. 

If the lights indicate that either devices are experiencing a problem, try unplugging them and plugging them back in. This is just like restarting our computer. If we still experience problems, we may need to perform a factory reset on your router (to see its manual). 

Facebook Data Center

Facebook Data Center 

At the edge of the Arctic Circle in Lulea (Sweden) is the newest data center Facebook. The Center handles data about users of social networks around the world. 
ณ ชายขอบของเส้น Arctic Circle  (เขตอากาศหนาวเหนือ ตั้งแต่เส้นอาร์คติค เซอร์เคิล (Arctic Circle) ถึงขั้วโลกเหนือ เขตนี้ได้รับแสงเฉียงจากดวงอาทิตย์ปีละไม่เกิน 6 เดือน เป็นเขตที่มีประชากรอาศัยอยู่เบาบาง)  เมือง Lulea  ประเทศ Sweden เป็นศูนย์ข้อมูลแห่งใหม่ของ Facebook  ศูนย์ข้อมูลแห่งนี้เก็บข้อมูลของผู้ใช้เครือข่ายสังคอมออนไลน์จากทั่วโลก  (น่าจะรวมเด็กนักเรียนของเราด้วยแน่นอน เพราะเด็กเราชอบและใช้ Facebook กันมหึมามหาศาล จนอาจจะเรียกได้ว่า เป็นกิจวัตรประจำวันไปซะแล้ว)

1. Data center in Lulea became the first data center outside of the U.S..
ศูนย์ข้อมูลแห่งนี้ เป็นศูนย์ข้อมูลแห่งแรกของ Facebook นอกประเทศสหรัฐอเมริกา

3. Facebook Guide believe that Lulea is likely to be one of the most efficient and sustainable data centers in the world.

Facebook เชื่อว่า ศูนย์แห่งนี้จะมีทรงสิทธิภาพ และเก็บข้อมูลได้อย่างยั่งยืนสุดๆ

5. All the equipment in the center provides electricity to the local hydroelectric power plant that runs on renewable energy, thus reducing the number of backup generators for more than 70%.

อุปกรณ์ทั้งหมดในศูนย์แห่งนี้ จะใช้ไฟฟ้าจากพลังงานสะอาด คือจากโรงไฟฟ้าพลังน้ำที่อยู่ในท้องถิ่น ซึ่งเป็น renewable energy (พลังงานหมุนเวียน)  จึงสามารถลดจำนวนเครื่องกำเนิดไฟฟ้าสำรอง (backup generators) ได้ถึงร้อยละ 70

7. In addition to the energy of the water, the center is also used by the northern cold air to cool the servers that store photos, videos, comments and "likes." Any excess heat is used to maintain a comfortable temperature in offices. 

นอกจากพลังงานสะอาดที่ได้จากไฟฟ้าพลังน้ำแล้ว  ศูนย์ข้อมูลแห่งนี้ ก็ยังอาศัยอากาศหนาวที่พัดมาจากขั้วโลกเหนือช่วยระบายความร้อนจากเครื่อง Servers (เครื่องแม่ข่าย) ของศูนย์ฯ ที่เก็บรูปภาพ วิดีโอ และ comments และ likes ของผู้ใช้เฟสบุ๊คจากทั่วโลก  และที่สำคัญความร้อนที่เกิดจากการทำงานของระบบเหล่านี้ จะถูกนำไปสร้างความอบอุ่นในสำนักงานอีกด้วย (เพราะอากาศที่โซนนี้หนาวมากนั่นเอง ตามที่กล่าวแล้ว)

8.

9. Almost all of the technology at the center, from servers to power distribution systems, based on the work of Open Compute Project - community of engineers from around the world, which is engaged in designing storage centers.

เทคโนโลยีของศูนย์ข้อมูลแห่งนี้  ตั้งแต่เครื่องคอมพิวเตอร์แม่ข่าย (servers) ทั้งหลาย ไปจนถึงระบบการกระจายข้อมูล (distribution systems) จะทำงานอยู่บน Open Compute Project ซึ่งเป็นระบบเปิดที่ให้วิศวกรของระบบเฟสบุ๊กจากพื้นที่ต่างๆ ทั่วโลก สามารถเข้ามาใช้งานร่วมกันได้  

15. During the first week of work, the coefficient of efficiency of energy consumption in the new center Facebook was 1.07.

ในสัปดาห์แรกของการใช้งาน the coefficient of efficiency of energy (ค่าสัมประสิทธิ์การบริโภคพลังงาน) เท่ากับ 1.07

18. The inscription on the wall of the center: "What would you do if you have nothing to be afraid of?"

คำจารึกที่ผนังกำแพงของศูนย์ "คุณจะทำอะไรดีเอ่ย ถ้าไม่มีอะไรที่ทำให้คุณกลัว?"

20. Center Manager - Joel Kelgren.  ผู้จัดการศูนย์
