How we might actually visit the exoplanets?

Hi All,
            Of the hundred million viewership count for a big sporting event how many of them actually watch the match live in the stadium; not more than a couple of thousand or may be a hundred thousand if it's something rare, similarly I personally don't feel many of us will ever visit outer space or some fancy new planets even in next 300 years and frankly with robotics advancing at a pace faster than our pace of advancement in space travel technologies it would only be a matter of prestige or a rare reason to embark on a deep space manned project beyond mars and not due to a genuine scientific exploratory premise.
Now I know what you must be thinking that my views are too pessimistic but I beg to differ and in fact I think this will happen in just 30 years now suddenly I must be sounding a bit too enthusiastic or a fan of Elon musk but no I am just suggesting that this will happen with the help of not our rockets but our visualization software, zettaflop level supercomputer ran simulations and giant telescopes which are being planned by various organizations as well as deep space based telescopes which will offer us and when I say "us" it means the global middle class and not just the millionaires or billionaires with an opportunity to experience the landscapes of other planets and virtually visit other planets from the comfort of our PC or virtual reality devices and in some cases specially designed theatres for this sole purpose; now jump a fifty or a hundred years more and you will realize the potential and scope of this phenomenon of virtually visiting other planets and asteroids with ever improving technologies and ultimately this might develop into a new form of entertainment industry with the help our future generations who would have by then grown allergic to what we today perceive as entertainment just like people now don't watch gladiator style battles in stadiums but prefer to play a Xbox or PlayStation game instead however I conveniently forgot to mention the scripted WWE matches which the people still enjoy

I brokeup with my StartUp

In a not so cute romance novel a cute looking girl meets a seemingly smart boy and they seem to get along well with one another and the rest you can read from any of the many romance novels available on eBay but their is a new kid in the block which is cheesy enough to give your mind a High blood pressure.

These seemingly inspiring books with titles like "How to become a millionaire in billion ways?" or "how to be the next blah..ionaire read(billionaire)" are warming the virtual shelves of E-book stores of all shapes and sizes which are called "start-up romances".
Now let us dissect into the source of inspiration of these inspirational books and you might find yourself surrounded by romance schemes and plots of all kind mentioned in the teen specific romance novels

Remember the formula romances which well might had been prescribed by the male doctors from the medical romances of M&B however outlandish it may sound but the same formula holds true for a “start-up idea” in these old kind of new books called "start-up romances"  where an unevenly cooked up start-up venture in the form of an attractive girl or a handsome hunk enters into an ideal world romantic landscape and the rest is again available on ebay where portrayal of the start-up phenomenon is done in the same way writers deal with love affairs.

But the problem starts when people after getting inspired from these novels start thinking of reaching multimillion dollar start-up valuations without realizing that nurturing a start-up is much more difficult than being in a high school relationship.

Actually the real life story unfolds in a very similar manner in both the cases unlike the novels that is with each passing day the interest and the so called love towards your start-up heads south without exception if the “start-up idea" doesn’t meet our expectations which was once fueled by our initial excitement and euphoria regarding a start-up which led us to drawing conclusions like “Yes” “this is it..this is the gate with the Bill in it”,“Hell yeah..i am the next jobs”.

Now replace the word “start-up” with “love interest” and you will know exactly what I am talking about and very soon people start discovering that may be "this wasn't right read(shouldn't have invested into this)"  or "this isn't working anymore read(i need to take a job)" and lastly "we need to move on read(i am worked up)" the only seemingly difference in this case is that a "worked up" start-up might ruin your finances more than a broken relationship even if you discount the mental turmoil an individual might face in both the scenarios.

Actually the above story is unfolding in more cases than one so much so that start-ups are like the relationships which sprout in suburban colleges where kids end up screwing each other's semester grades more than anything else trying the freshly baked romance dishes on each other inspired from romance novels not realizing that "the dish" was out from the oven well before their parents decided to marry.
But the Irony is neither the formulas of romance novels nor the romanticized business books with half baked start-up success stories can help us attain the desired results in real life.

On a brighter note this can be said that great start-ups are like great relationships which survive the test of time and even if it doesn't they leaves us with ample sweet and sour experiences which ultimately makes us wiser.

Can you Start me up?

Their were days when people dreamt of becoming "the next bill gates or Steve jobs" but then the internet start-ups came and everything changed
Earlier start-ups meant starting a brick and mortar business built over a new technological, market or social innovation but nowadays internet start-ups have taken their place which are much easier to start but at the same time much more prone to "endups" as well.
One more intriguing point is that today too many start-ups depend upon borrowed ideas from the net which is otherwise fine until unless you start typing...

"New ideas for start-ups" on the Google search bar.

A start-up which is inspired from an another start-up doing well is bound to fail because you might end up following a mirage.
but why?
simply because so many people in the world are thinking about the same thing at the same time that whenever you will try to emulate a particular start-up or a internet business model; its most likely that you are already part of a queue(which is to copy the successful model) which will lead you to nowhere

If a start-up idea is not fueled from within and as a result of the surrounding environment(including your online life) it is bound to fail just like an Iron Man suit will fail without the "legendary Arc reactor".

Similarly a start-up which doesn't have its own "arc reactor" is bound to end up being a heap of scrap similar to what could happen to an Iron Man suit without the energy source.

Therefore a great start-up will always have its own "Arc reactor" no matter what; it can be an idea, a unique talent or even a trade secret but one thing is for sure that without it their is no point wasting time building "Iron patriots" or Iron suits which cannot fly because we are not fortunate enough in the real world to have a friend like Tony stark who would lend you his "Arc reactor" which he invented due to circumstances more than anything else.

Nine quick routes to a Failed Start up

"Nine quick routes to a Failed Start up" is an attempt to inform people about things which wait for a average MBA graduate outside his College.
Hi All,

First Way: Not planning the revenue model early on.

Second Way: Having more partners than actually needed

Third way: Over Investing in the initial phase

Fourth way: Being generous with your employees,customers,suppliers and partners.

Fifth way: Lacking periodic audits notably checking the profits and viability every fortnight.

Sixth way: Trying something outlandish

Seventh way: Believing in unsubstantiated market predictions and surveys because in real life these surveys counts for a big zero.

Eighth Way: Over believing on your employees about their ability

Ninth Way: Business Plans because their are none which actually succeed in real market without alterations and modifications.
Thanks for reading

Can you make me an Android Phone?

Almost everything is said and is being discussed as far as 3D printing is concerned if you refer to tech sites and blogs but as soon as you dig deeper into it and start analyzing its impact on the global economy and manufacturing space; things start to turn hazy.
Firstly most of the factories and industrial complexes would face closure in emerging markets as well as in the US because of 3D printing taking over the global manufacturing scene which eventually would happen sooner or later though.
But there is a bigger question which we need to think over which might or might not get discussed in the near future which is
Are we willing to take such a great leap in terms of technology?
3D printing coupled with robotics in next 200 years can effectively render the industrial complexes and industries obsolete which in turn might make physical labor a thing of the past and this might have huge implications on our current socio-economic order and employment patterns therefore frankly speaking maybe this is the real reason the policymakers, as well as corporations, are taking things gradually because they do understand this game-changing technology and its impact better than us and as it is said in the movie "Man of Steel" that "world is not ready for it yet" or we can think that Chinese can still do it in a cheaper and in a more humane way even if that sounds a bit metaphorical in away.
However, the technology is still not there yet but should eventually evolve and graduate to Mall like manufacturing plants were semi-customized electronic goods, as well as household products, could be designed and manufactured on spot for the customers.
Maybe you and I will not see the light of that day until of course, you live in an environment controlled penthouse with bio-engineered food intake and regular organ transplants which should hopefully enable you to live on until the turn of 22nd or 23rd century.
This might be noted that the above article is a part of tech-speculation.

We might do without Time Travel?

Although the Wright brother's first flight video is available in the YouTube how many of us can truly enjoy that video without noticing the outdated quality in which it was shot and the back ground piano score with which it was released but with ever growing tribe of video-loggers in YouTube continuously uploading video-logs and the amazing speed at which this data is being updated in terms of never seen before street views and personalized experiences shared at a breadth taking speed which someday would result into viewing our past on a scale never before imagined by our present or previous generations.

People have been dreaming of being able to live the wonder days from the past be it the beetles concert day excitement or when the people gathered in times square to celebrate the V-J Day or may be a just an unimportant but vibratious day when it was called "The tenderloin" and this dream of us have motivated many Hollywood movie directors to come up with tales involving time travel(into the past) or movies set in those era to help us live those days.

By one count with over 1 billion users and 300 hours of videos being uploaded to the YouTube every minute which is forming a database of our present at an magnitude which can easily with the help of some simulations in future can help people literally live in their past and live the moments and life they missed while being busy taking the regular walk of life.

Imagine if our grandfather had the chance of living his first Rock concert by way of a video-log which if could have been recorded in those days with a UHD 3D camcorder by one of the thousands present with him in that concert and this very thing is being done not for our grand parents but us by none other than YouTube.

May be most of us have realized it already or may be some will figure it out eventually that the ongoing Vlog phenomenon will very soon make us all experience our good old days in a never before way.

Whatever the future may hold in store for us but for me which may sound to some a bit chivalrous but still this Vlog phenomenon could be the next best thing available to us after "Time Travel".

Private Planets

"People who haven't watched Movies like Avatar and are unaware of the concepts of Death-star should avoid sarcasm"~A Failed Sci-Fi movie director
Every now and then we hear about people and corporations buying islands in order to develop a family resort or Very High Net Worth Individuals trying to buy private islands with sprawling pent houses in the name of privacy but still they end up criticizing the media and people for trying to spoil their privacy and freedom.

Then we have audacious people like Sir Richard Bronson who are trying to leave earth for quite sometime now with little success to cheer him up but we also have people like Elon Musk who is ambitious enough to develop rocket engines similar to soviet ones for his space program although with better and more practical goals among the people who are looking forward to leaving this planet; then we have a corporation(although not for profit) called "Mars One" who have set their sight on Mars like moving to Mars is their birth right and they shall have it no matter what.

Therefore contemplating private planets as the ultimate epitome of seclusion and privacy for Earth's ultra rich people in future(in order of a couple of centuries) may not be that far fetched after all; but the question which is more cumbersome is
How?
Firstly we should be able to develop technologies such as spaceships suited for Deep space travel along with it economic uses for the resources potentially extracted from other planets to make such a project economically viable even for potential "trillionaires" of future but wait a minute

Do we have planets close enough to our home in order to pursue this wildly impractical but literally heavenly dream of owning a planet?

Actually "Yes" and "No" both because we do have many suitable real estate options(Rocky planetoids and Moons of Gas Giants) in our Solar System but actually they are not classified as planets in the strictest sense of the word(which is that it should have a direct rotational axis around its star) in fact we have 146 moons in our solar system which are rocky enough to land quite a few spacecrafts.

Secondly we need Space entrepreneurs on the scale of a million times of Elon Musk and his SpaceX to fund such endeavors in the future and then the most important thing which is Pricing
So what should be the price of a planetoid up for grabs?
Logically guessing it should be based on its proximity to earth, Level of difficulty in inhabiting it, Extractable natural resources etc.

The most unimportant but necessary thing needed will be the survival of our current global order without any newer regulations and treaties which may get enforced in the future which could restrict investment outside Earth by private institutions because then unforeseen complications can arise between the governing bodies and the private investors in question which could lead to Legal battles over the control of real estate in space between contenders.

But we can only hope that they don't fight "Space battles" on the lines of European navies of 17th Century fought for newer colonies far away from Europe because by that time we humans would have matured or would we?

But i heard Europeans were quite wise and gentle in those days and they too had treaties but when the time came..............they played "Age of Empire:Gold edition" with each other.
