The Web Life

We know that engaging too much with technology can give us a lot of benefits. It makes us live in a world full of convenience. The utilization of technological pieces of machinery is within our control. Honestly, there’s nothing much to complain about it. But with these too much conveniences and through the unordinary ways we deal with a lot of stuff around us, are we safe around these innovations?

The Advantages And Disadvantages

Technology makes everything move faster, and that is something that all of us humans undoubtedly love about it. Let’s say for technical reasons, we don’t have to spend too much time finishing a project because there are machines that can work triple-ways better than human resources. We don’t have to waste too much energy repeating the same process over and over again because the devices are designed to fulfill that purpose specifically.  Technology lessens the burden of us having to watch over each production we have. However, within these advantages lies a hidden truth about innovation. “There is also little doubt that all of the new technologies, led by the Internet, are shaping the way we think in ways obvious and subtle, deliberate and unintentional, and advantageous and detrimental.” Jim Taylor Ph.D. said.

Since technology is created to serve humankind, it shouldn’t have to take over. Yes, it makes everything easy, but we shouldn’t depend on it too often. The dilemma with a lot of people is that they see technology as something that can make them forget about working, moving, communicating, and socializing. This kind of actions potentially damages not only the physical and emotional aspect of a person but as well as his psychological state.

The Technological Damage

“I believe most of these fear-mongering claims about technology are rubbish. There are several common myths of technology addiction that deserve to be debunked by actual research.” As Christopher J. Ferguson Ph.D. in clinical psychology explains. Loving technology too much can be very devastating. That’s because it hinders us to look after for negative signs. We get blinded by the idea that technology saves us from a day-to-day endeavor. We think that there’s no end on its benefits. It makes us believe that too much utilization is okay as long as we don’t see or feel anything wrong about it. However, according to most research, technology dependence can pose a risk of having brain deficiency. Technology dependence can become too addictive. And as we continue to use it without limitations, we create development issues. It establishes relationship problems that trigger emotional and mental negativity as well. It hinders us from getting physically active and a lot more.

Let’s say we often use our mobile phones. Most of us don’t have limitations as to where we should only use our gadgets. Sometimes, we even bring or put it in places that cause potential bacterial risk. There are also cases that we involved ourselves too much on it that we cause harm and accidents to ourselves. We spend most of the time glazing at our devices not knowing that it can generate a long list of eye problems such as blurred vision, changes in color perception, and even burning sensation. There are also cases that it can lead to brain degradation that causes stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, and depression. “As adults, we have leveraged technology to accomplish amazing things in our lives: we do our work, manage our social lives, consume news and entertainment, even make new purchases for the holidays, all with the push of virtual buttons. Despite being cognitively mature, emotionally resilient and capable of delaying gratification, we struggle to set limits on our own usage.” Jyothsna Bhat, PsyD said.

It’s true that technological advances already improved our lives. But our dependence on it through each passing changes everything. The new page of this innovation impacts our social, physical, mental, and environmental factors.

MATLAB, which actually means matrix laboratory, is considered a fourth-generation language.   It was initially built to provide easy access to matrix system software. It is widely used for programming arithmetic, technical, and scientific computation and deciding on courses of actions.

The common uses of MATLAB include

• Development of algorithm
• Simulation
• Prototyping
• Data analysis, research, visualization
• Engineering graphics
• Application development

 

MATLAB is designed to be a kind of interactive system.  It handles a batch of the necessary data element without using dimensioning.  With MATLAB, solving technical computing problems is made easy, like those that involve matrix or vector expressions.

 

MATLAB In Schools

MATLAB is being taught in universities in their introductory and some advanced courses in the area of mathematics, science, and engineering.  It is a software for students to provide them with the same device as that of professional engineers and scientists.  This is a helpful tool for students to have fun in doing their projects, excel in their field, and acquire career skills.  MATLAB mobile allows students to have access of the software from their iPad, iPhone, and even Android devices.  It can also be accessed through their web browser with MATLAB Online.

MATLAB In Business

Business, engineers, and scientists trust the efficacy and ability of MATLAB.   It is very reliable in making research, data analysis, and design process.  MATLAB is widely used in the engineering field and by IT teams as it supports image, sensor, telemetry, video, binary, and real-time presentations.  Its machine learning capability, complete set of statistics, neural networks, system identification, and prebuilt algorithms for financial modeling and control system designs are helpful in assisting people in the fields of finance.

 

Toolboxes

Toolboxes is a group of application-specific solutions.  It is professionally developed for MATLAB users.  It allows them to learn and make use of specialized technology.  Toolboxes consist a collection of MATLAB functions or M-files that could enhance your MATLAB experience.  It will enable you to solve particular types of problems.  They are available in signal processing, neural network, control systems, wavelets, fuzzy logic, simulation, and more.

 

Main Parts Of MATLAB System

MATLAB Language

A multitude or array of programming languages that have control flow statements, data structures, function, input and output, and object-oriented programming features.  You can do a little programming for you to create quick programs rapidly.  It is also applicable for substantial programming for you to create a complex application program.

Working Environment

The working environment consists of an assembly of tools and facilities which you can work with when you are a MATLAB user or programmer.  The facilities include handling variables in your workspace.  It enables the user to import and export data.  The tools will allow you to manage, develop, debug, and profile M-files.

 

Handle Graphics

This is the software’s graphics system which consists of important commands used for data visualization of two and three dimensions, animation, image processing, and graphic presentation.  It also has some low-level commands to enable you to customize the looks of your graphics.  You can also create a full Graphical User Interfaces with your MATLAB application.

 

Mathematical Function Library

This consists of an extensive collection of computational algorithms.  It includes the basic functions like summation, sine, cosine, and complicated calculation.  It also comprises sophisticated tasks from matrix eigenvalues (linear system of equations), matrix inverse to Bessel functions (cylinder function), and fast Fourier transforms.

Application Program Interface (API)

This is useful when you are to make C and Fortran programs that interrelate with MATLAB.  It has the ability to call routines for MATLAB as dynamic linking, working with MATLAB as a computational engine, and if you are to read and/or write MAT-files.

 

MATLAB has made math life easy for students especially when answering their calculus homework.  Business, engineering, and other professional environments utilize its capabilities to use signal processing techniques to explore and analyze data.   MATLAB is very useful in enhancing their portfolio and go on with their business better than usual.
