Revolution in Reservation

India need Anti Reservation

In order to develop our country, we are primarily dependent on of course the farmers, and comes the next and most important thing education, here my argument is not on our poor education or the students who might or might not be intelligent, I am talking about the equality, opportunity provided by our country.

Recently Kerala was in news, where most of the students have left their caste column blank. When the students only don't need the reservation then why the heck we are rushing towards reserving seats.

And of course how can we forget the politics and the business among the people, they don't bother of being educated or providing the right education, they just want their business to run, i don't know where they are heading towards, and what they want to prove to the world or at least to them. I feel there is no humanity left.
Because as I am growing I have noticed only the growth in buildings of schools,colleges, and off course buildings of private institutions, I know you want to show that you have sophisticated class rooms,ground,outdoor everything, but where is the knowledge?? do we get any knowledge out of it? They have some syllabus, we need mug up then again the papers get leaked, or the teachers help only to prepare for exam purpose there is no such things as life lesson.what our kids are learning, I cant imagine such things are happening around us, bribe, leaking papers, selling of reservation seats, there will be auction for who pays more on seat, buzz-off, its disgusting. I am ashamed to even share it.

Few days back our farmer defense minister and the chief minister of Goa who has recently expired, said in one of his speech elaborated his before and after childhood experience, narrated by Manohar Parekar “I am from the village of Parra in Goa, hence we are called Parrikars. My village is famous for its watermelons. When I was a child, the farmers would organise a watermelon-eating contest at the end of the harvest season in May. All the kids would be invited to eat as many watermelons as they wanted. Years later, I went to IIT Mumbai to study engineering. I went back to my village after 6.5 years. I went to the market looking for watermelons. They were all gone. The ones that were there were so small.

I went to see the farmer who hosted the watermelon-eating contest. His son had taken over. He would host the contest but there was a difference. When the older farmer gave us watermelons to eat he would ask us to spit out the seeds into a bowl. We were told not to bite into the seeds. He was collecting the seeds for his next crop. We were unpaid child laborers, actually. He kept his best watermelons for the contest and he got the best seeds which would yield even bigger watermelons the next year. His son, when he took over, realized that the larger watermelons would fetch more money in the market so he sold the larger ones and kept the smaller ones for the contest. The next year, the watermelons were smaller, the year later even small. In watermelons the generation is one year.

In seven years, Parra’s best watermelons were finished. In humans, generations change after 25 years. It will take us 200 years to figure what we were doing wrong while educating our children. Unless we employ our best to train the next generation, this is what can happen to us. We must attract the best into teaching profession."
(Excerpt from a speech by India’s Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar at an event hosted by the Federation of Gujarat Industries in Vadodara, India on 11 September, 2016. Transcription by Eisha Sarkar)
Simple but far sighted.. we lost a good politician.
Here what I want to share with you is the we have failed to give knowledge to a new generation, and the environment around us is polluted with lot more things which I am discussing in my next article.

When you compare with the other country and the system they have for their youth is far better than us. We say our system will consider merit, but no we are surrounded with category, kota all that stuff.

I personally believe that the reservation should be on the basis of income, ability, performance.
We all know that we have right to education , no doubt that we have all the right to question to fight on what we want and how we want it to be.

Positive side of Indian Education system :-

Students go through many exams in their learning years. It teaches to analyse our strengths and weaknesses consistently.
Indian education system emphasizes competitive spirit. Competition teaches students to unleash their full potential.
Indian schools teach basic knowledge in all subjects.
Annual system in school years helps slow learners.
These days a lot of positive changes are happening in the education system of India. Emphasis on practical knowledge is increased.

Drawbacks of Indian Education system :-

Rote learning. Emphasis on memorizing the facts rather than thoroughly understanding the concepts.
Completely relying on text books.
Giving more importance to text books than the teacher. There is no autonomy to teachers.
Students have no freedom to think creatively and to question the content in the text books.
Taking marks as assessment of student’s talent, when marks can be easily obtained by memorizing the pre-written answers from the text books.
Students are not being taught why they are learning the particular subjects and topic. Text books do not mention how the topics are relevant in the practical life.
There is no incentive for teachers to encourage critical thinking in children.
Lack of infrastructure.
Most of the syllabus is in theoretical form.
Dearth of capable teachers in government schools.
Low salaries of teachers.
Pressurizing students for marks and grades. Student suicides are increasing day by day.
Students are learning the subjects just to reach to the next level, i.e obtaining admission from the good college.
Indian govt is spending only 3% of its GDP on education.
As the Govt unable invest enough in the education sectors, private institutions roped in, and the result is High cost of education.
No control of govt on fee structure of private educational institutes.
Ethics aren’t being taught in schools. And the result of this is many educated persons lack ethics.
Very low teacher to student ratio. As a result, teachers are not able to concentrate on each and every child. According to Right to Education, there should be one teacher for every 30 students.
High prices of higher education in India. Indian Govt isn’t investing in the higher education aspirants.
Rise of coaching centers for competitive exams and private tuitions for school children are is resulted by the poor education system, which couldn’t make students job-ready.
Our text books do not mention the importance of physical activity and the extra curricular activities. Most of the schools in India do not have play grounds.
Not encouraging research and innovation.
Not teaching students about how to deal with daily life struggles.
Incentivising hyper-competitiveness rather than encouraging to co-learn.
Shortage of text books for govt school students.
No proper career guidance available for students.
Most of the govt school students are unable to do basic math. This reveals the negligence of teachers.
Not everyone has access to school. A lot rural areas still have no schools. And there are many single teacher schools.
In the top 100 universities list by ‘Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings 2016’, none of the Indian universities could make into the list.
What Indian Government is doing :-
- The ‘National Policy on Education’ was framed in 1986 and was amended in 1992.
- New Education Policy (NEP) is going to be formed in 2016 to bring revolutionary changes in Indian education system.
- Rashtriya Madyamika Abhiyan, 2009 – This scheme aims to enhance access to secondary education and to improve its quality.
- Vidyanjali scheme, 2016 – to encourage extra curricular activities in students.
- Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA), 2013 – A mission to finance massively in state universities. But this wasn’t successful as expected.

What might be the idle education be like?

Today am gonna share you something about a real life incidents we experience in school and college, which every one of us have come across it. So the intention here is not to degrade or either to complaint, lets just think and know what exactly is happening and where we are going wrong.
I want to highlight that no one is perfect as no one is correct either.But with the good guidance we can achieve anything in the world as we say Nothing is impossible.

Well, when i was in school I am quite a hesitatitive and reserved kid, who just read whatever comes, jotting it and mugging up, never had an idea of we actually need to understand and can apply in real life!! isn't it strange? When a student have no idea of what the education is exactly, what it needs to be done, to get a basic education, the logic behind and the main concept basic education must be, then how would he lead or how may he/she might be able to face the higher levels?
I remember when I was in college, pursuing a degree in computer science and engineering. It was Java class. It was the new session, And a professor came in, who just had finished might be same degree or i mean to say a fresher - came in, cleaned the board which was cluttered with definitions from the previous lecture, and wrote in block letters:

JAVA

We watched silently, wondering what is going to follow. Unlike some of us, I had no idea of this language before as it was not included in our school curriculum.

The professor, scribbled 3 more words on the board below JAVA in his atrociously difficult-to-read handwriting. And then, the professor began what appeared to be his daily chant.

“Listen students…In order to understand JAVA, you need to know the basic concepts of Object Oriented Programming or OOP, which is the building block for learning JAVA.”

It was a 2 hour long lecture. By the end of the first hour, he was done with the basic principles of Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance and Polymorphism. I was confused whether to listen him carefully or i need to jot down notes for future reference. Doing both at a time did not seem to be a good option, given his speed of shuffling from one topic to another - which could give even Rajdhani Express a serious complex!

In the second hour, he scribbled some pieces of code on the board and continued, “This is Constructor…that is Overriding…that is Overloading”, as he simultaneously gave small examples.

This went on for the next few months, with Java theoretical lectures being conducted in this manner twice a week, and a dreary, dull Practical class once a week. By the end of the semester, we were expected to be ready for interview in Core Java, with additional basic knowledge in Applets.

Truth be told, by the end of the semester, I could not even write 10 lines of code properly without consulting the text book. Same was the case with most of my friends. Except those who had learned JAVA previously in school or had special aptitude in coding, most of us ran into tutions to somehow pass the semester.

Just imagine, we were learning one of the most prominent computer languages in the world, with very little hands-on work on the computer itself! And the entire dependency is on the black-board n the text book! Not to mention our Express-like Professor!

The fallacy in the system and lack of clear knowledge in the students were caught during job interviews when the interviewer asked us conceptual questions, leaving most of us stunned and horrified!

Now, JAVA was just an example. This is applicable for most science and commerce related, and some even arts related subjects. A lot is wrong with our education system. We learn A LOT by heart, but have very little understanding of how to implement that same knowledge in real life.

We are made to practise a hundred derivations and deductions in Physics and Chemistry, yet most of us do not know what is the physical significance of the derivations!

Remember, Farhan’s dialogue in 3 Idiots?

“Salt Water is a great conductor of electricity. 8th Standard Physics. Humne pada tha…Saale ne APPLY kiya”

Translation -

Salt Water is a great conductor of electricity. We had only read it in Physics text books in the 8th Standard, but he(the hero of the film) applied it!

Now, this is a fun scene. Of course, we do not need to behave like Rancho here. But the implication is clear.

So, what is ideal education? One, with a little more experimental, demonstrative studying. One that encourages students to explore various authors. One that helps us relate the formulae with real life situations. One that encourages to analyze, and not just mug up.

Look at this Professor, and see how he teaches Physics:

Here is an example of an interactive English class:

How about History class?

Students give instant attention to lessons when the lecture is made more interactive with activities, quiz, etc. And to achieve this, expensive gadgets may not always be required.

I hope this answers your question…:)

Yes, you heard it right, but before going to the point, that the Indian education system is far better than other countries, this is sure for a while.

As the fact that we know is every system has a bugs and it need to be updated time to time, thus the point behind the title.

Undoubtedly present education system in India needs update as we are following the same pattern from our ancestors continuing from 1990’s, as in 2018 there is a lot of changes in overall world and these system lacks in giving opportunities to those who completes and graduates, this will make us think that Education is just a certificate not a qualification in India, which makes us puppet where we fall for little satisfactions and with more expectations, which is making us weaker in our ability. This is the one main reason for increasing un-employment in India.

Many students in India complete bachelors and masters and do they at least end up with joining as executives in Mnc’s without related to their education background? No? Amm.. yes for some extraordinary people. In some scenarios, few Indian youth without education makes more very good career with great bank balance. Many startup founders and business owners has no MBA, but they take very good and innovative strategies in marketing, for them MBA is just a qualification. Actually they had very good practical knowledge and command on the particular field and they aim for success.
This is where we are lacking with our present education system in India. Actually higher education needs more practical and real life case studies to understand more about the concept and there is no such education system in India. Over population and government policies and schemes makes higher education available for free in India, without the proper plans and pre-requisites for higher education gives poor in quality. A thing which available for free doesn’t taste good, this will correctly apt for current education system.

Quantity or quality

Quality

The education we are getting is knowledge based or quantity based? Are we getting the quantity of education or only the quantity? We need to analyse deeply, we need to have dig into it.

According to my knowledge we are only getting the quantity of education. Our system lacks education in quality.

However we are bound with the facts that if our percentile is less then we can’t survive, but the story behind getting highest is mug-up the quantity of what we have mugged it. The more we mug up the more chances of highest marks. Here am not judging the IQ or knowledge of students, in fact we have the extremely talented students ever. No doubt about that.

Am talking about the education we get, am talking about the environment we are getting to acquire knowledge, we don’t have any exposure towards the ongoing things outside the class, school, college, region, state, country and world and so on.

In other country they don’t have tests or exams until they reach to their higher primary level (class 5). They will just teach by their teacher about how to behave? How to tackle real life problems?

How to get rid of the real life situation? How he/she can get exposure to the real world? And they will most importantly try to build the confidence and self- esteem, which is now a days very important in which we lag-off.

We even have one subject called value education, it teaches us the behavioural pattern and the values and ethics with that we do have many a subject and exams and grades, we will be warned by the words like if u get good marks and good grades you will be promoted to the higher level, if you fail to this you will be continued with the same class as considered failure, and that particular student will go to some lower sections like c or d, which even lowers the confidence and the interest of the students in studies.

They will be treated as prisoners who are dull, not eligible or not capable to sit with other intelligent students. But with my experience those are the students who will achieve something or anything in future. But with that situation some will go in depression, they do undergo the teasing of their classmates or other students, and the scolding and stricter teacher and parents. This may lead some very critical problems and mental issues, the student has to fight with themselves to come out from the depression, it’s horrible.

The students in private institute are treated as factory workers where they need to do homework, classwork, handwork and hard work, even after doing that also they can’t be able to tackle or face the exams which the institute itself will decide and they will be provided a manual for the exams which is a short notes and covers all the syllabus, if you do that you will clear the exam. Awesome, isn’t it?

This is how the students getting spoiled by giving spoon feeding activities, which might affect in future. They will be trained as the horses, who just see what the rider want to show or what the rider what it to see? It just follows the instructions given by the rider, not what it wants to see, It really doesn’t know anything like where it is going and where to stop? It just has no idea; in the same way, our students are, they will be controlled and instructed by the teachers and parents.

These private institute and public institutes will insure at the initial step when the student is getting admitted, that they will provide all the facilities like stationary, cloths, transport facility, and extra classes like tuitions etc. but by charging extra, this shows they are making education as business.

With all this facility also he/she may fail. Because we need to have 100% knowledge base education, but the only focus of the institute is to grab money and students, the more the students the more the money comes.

If this is the situation of the institutes with the latest technology equipped and fulfilled with the resource, then what about the government schools and colleges? Where they lack in resources, place, no equipment, not much exposure to the reality, but they sometimes get topped. I mean to say is intelligent students with interest and curiosity to learn new things can learn anywhere without any resources and systematic way of study.

Small story:

Recently in some article and in news I have read that a village girl who is poor and does all her home-works and homeworks too has secured 1^st grade but comparatively the urban girl/boy might not get good marks, but she has all the resources, materials and experts guidance high class teachings but she dint get through, why? What might be the reason? Was it because she was unable to meet the requirement like what she needed or how she needed to be prepared? Did she fail in preparation? Or did the teachers fail to prepare her? It’s all unclear.

There should be a standard and quality of education, the planned strategy and the dynamic ability of teachers where they need to mould with each and every student’s because teachers are the creators and the god for the students. The quality of education lacks in India as Charles Murray says in his Real Education.

Conclusion: Back to the Reality

We need to change the way the schools do business. We also need to redefine educational success.

My targets are not the usual suspects. I do not inveigh against high dropout rates, low test scores or obdurate teachers unions. My indictment is much broader. The education system is living a lie.

Ancient Education Vs Modern Education

Ancient education

Ancient education:

In ancient times, India had the Guru Kula system of education where anyone who wishes to study should have to go to a teacher's (Guru) house and had to request to be taught by a guru. If he/she accepted as a student (shishya) by the guru, he would then have to stay at the guru's place and help in all activities at home. This has not only created a strong bond between the guru and the shishya but also taught the student everything about running a house and most importantly facing the real problem in their real life.

The guru taught everything the child wanted to learn, from Sanskrit to the Holy Scriptures and from Mathematics to Metaphysics. The students have to stay as long as he/she wished to or until the guru felt that he had taught everything he could teach for taking the challenges everyday life. All the learnings were closely linked to nature and to life, and it is not only confined to memorizing some information or gaining the knowledge.

The modern school system came to India, including the English language too, originally first by the Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay in the 1830s. The curriculum was confined to modern subjects such as science and mathematics, and subjects like metaphysics and philosophy were considered unnecessary. Teaching was confined to classrooms and the link with nature was broken, as also the close relationship between the teacher and the student.

Establishment of Modern education

The Uttar Pradesh Board of High School and Intermediate Education was the first Board set up in India in the year 1921 with jurisdiction over Rajputana, Central India and Gwalior. In 1929, the Board of High School and Intermediate Education, Rajputana, was established. Later, boards were established in some of the states. But eventually, in the year 1929, the board was amended and it was renamed to Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). All schools in Delhi and some other regions came under the Board. It was the function of the Board to decide on things like curriculum, textbooks and examination system for all schools affiliated to it. Today there are thousands of schools affiliated to the Board.

Universal and compulsory education for all children in the age group of 6-14 was a cherished dream of the new government of the Republic of India. This is evident from the fact that it is incorporated as a directive policy in article 45 of the Constitution. But this objective remains far away even more than half a century later. However, in the recent past, the government appears to have taken a serious note of this lapse and has made primary education a Fundamental Right of every Indian citizen. The pressures of economic growth and the acute scarcity of skilled and trained manpower must certainly have played a role to make the government take such a step. The expenditure by the Government of India on school education in recent years comes to around 3% of the GDP, which is recognised to be very low.

New schemes and development in Education in India

Right to Education

In recent times, several major announcements were made for developing the poor state of affairs in education sector in India, the most notable ones being the National Common Minimum Programme (NCMP) of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. The announcements are,

1. To progressively increase expenditure on education to around 6 percent of GDP

2. To support this increase in expenditure on education, and to increase the quality of education, there would be an imposition of an education cess of all central government taxes.

3. To ensure that no one is denied of education due to economic backwardness and poverty.

4. To make the right to education a fundamental right for all children in the age 6-14 years.

5. To universalize education through its flagship programmes such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and Mid-Day Meal.

Practical education vs Theoretical education

The insight of the topic.. continuation...

We know that education is the stepping stone for us to lead life. It is not only with the Academicals study but with that we need to take care of the real life study the practical study.

Now the academics or the today’s education is like the business they are making money by producing the students who can’t cope up with the competition and be failing to win their life’s battle. They are getting confused about choosing a career, what to choose? What is the right path for them to lead? DO you know our India is producing the largest number of engineers who are excited to start their career with enthusiasm, with courage but at some point they will get exhausted they lose their stamina, keep on complaining about the things, they are already caught up into a trap called bucket carrier?

We are bound with the fact with that if our percentile is less we can’t survive, but the story behind getting highest percentile is mug up. Here am not questioning the ability or the IQ of the students, in fact, we have the extremely talented students. No doubt about that. But we lack with the type of education we get, the quality.

Yes! You heard it right I am talking about the quality of education we have in India. In the other countries, they don’t have exams until we enter to class V which is primary level.They just teach them about the behaviour and to be ethical or how to be socialised, which our youth doesn’t know exactly. We do have a moral education but with that, we need to read many a thing which gets stuffed into our tiny brain. They just communicate with the people to whom they interact daily or only with the few people.

Let me share the 5 reasons of which we feel how important the practical education is

1. No need of mugging and memorising

No mugging or memorising

Some people born talented who can memorise at a glance, but don't be a bookworm, think innovative and learn practicality which saves time with that you doesn't need to cram and stress your brain.

2. Develop a better understanding

Better understanding

It improves the understandability of a person.When we only learn concepts we don't understand deeply, when we apply it in reality i.e practically, we definitely understand it better.

3. It improves skills

Skills

It improves the skillset, when we do training exercising, innovating new things all the practical knowledge which can only be achieved with applying theory practically.

4. It is more interesting and easy

Study is Interesting

When we do lab and experiments, how we get excited and interesting but when we listen to some history or some theory classes we do get bored. What I meant to say is, it makes us curious and interesting so as to understand it easily.

5. Can motivate teamwork

Teamwork motivates

In a practice session or when we discuss with friends and teachers it would do wonders with giving insights with everyone's site. you will get the concept very thoroughly when u discuss.I do remember the previous day of the exam, it really would help you grasp the important points and you understand it truly at that time.

What is the importance of practical education rather than the theoretical education?

Hey, People...!!!

Emphasis:

Education For Life

Education..! Education..!! Education..!!! everywhere in everything.. in everyone… in a different way... Through a different means.

Everyone needs the education to survive, to lead a good life, to earn a good job and a good position.But what if? we didn't get a proper way of education?? it would be tragic.

As a student, I want to share some real and the more saddest part of our education system, we are in a digital world and the country and the world is progressing in a drastic way, but we still are in an old school syllabus, where we need to mug-up the whole syllabus, we need to memorize the whole information, just to pass, if and only if we need good grades in the exams.

But here I would like to tell what we are going through, Right from the starting of school, with a first teacher who we believe is a mother and till our college level, we are made to read and read only to get good grades. what about the knowledge? DO we lack? yes, we do lack in digging the valley of knowledge, but.. this we will be analysing and getting realised later at the stage of getting a job or leading further life, at that time we start feeling, oh..! I would have generalised the topics and the concepts when I got the chance.

But when we start realising, whatever we have had got to learn so far and have spent many years, those are just the basics things which helped us to go further. but at the same time, we need to know about the value of knowledge, we cannot mug it up, we need to earn it.

It happens only when the root cause of the teaching goes well.We need to change everyone's mind, of getting only good grades and the most fearful thought of examination.And we need to change the present education system, where we lack in practicality we do get only the theoretical knowledge, which really keeps us secular from the actual experiences because of we only emphasis on the theories, which are someone's inventions.We can't always use theory over reality.

For education to prepare children for meeting their life realistically, it should encourage them to learn from life itself and to view a body of knowledge that has been passed on unquestioned from one generation to the next.

Competition needs to be there and it is must, but not with the cost of stress to giving up if we fail to give our best and also, with that we need the education which will help us in every aspect of our life. So that we can only focus on our goals, focus on our aims, which only happens if we emphasise on practical or real education rather than the so called traditional or theoretical education. Which relates us to the real world.

Hence we need practical education not merely theoretical education.

Tune up, and follow my posts until we all reach out the desire of education.

Lesson for life

Education in India.

Hey, Guys..!!! greetings..!!!

Here comes my Logo..!!!

Education for life logo

I am here to announce about my upcoming Blog, where I will discuss our education system of India.I think we need a change, I mean we need to it, education requires a revolution. Till now I didn't feel that our present system taught us the education for life.Some of us fail in life's exam, examination for life; where we do get a do or a live situation, we really get frustrated of facing every day's new challenges and the competitions, it really sucks, it ruins our lives. But at the same time competitions and challenges are gives us motivations and encourages us to live a livelihood life.

But what if, we do get failed in such things?? we get frustrated, we lose self-confidence, we lose our interest to do things, and we start compromising at every step and keep on blaming our faith, people, circumstances etc, which are nowhere concerned and nothing to do with, and we start thinking to end up our life.

This is happening because of the tradition of our country, the education system, right from the beginning of our birth we need to start learning: learning is a good and a healthy habit but.. what if, it comes in a huge and a non-systematic approach??We have had quantity, not quality, we lack in quality of education, It really sucks, and it really is affecting our everyday life.

Let's discuss and let's join hands get the solution for the very important cause. A cause of education. Let us help each other to get Education For Life and education for living, which has to begin with my blog.

Let me clear you that education is not only getting graduated, not only getting good grades in academics, those all do not help us to survive for the reck of the life. We need to be educated with the whole and sole.

As the saying goes, be the change you want to see; that means we need to change our self through our own thoughts.My blog will offer you the direction for the people who feel that education should mean more than an acquisition of facts, more than intellectual exposure to a vast number of untested concepts, more than a pragmatic preparation for employment.

It would be an exalted call for change, based on our deep insight into the potentials of every one of us. We will discuss how to nurture creativity, wisdom and intuition in each child, and how to tap his/her unexplored capabilities.Hope you guys wait for my blog to be published and help me to grow that blog, I need your support.

Thank you in advance.

My Mom is the Best

Mom, Mother, Maa...!!! We call you by many names, but the meaning is same, the creator of our life. She introduced us to the world and the world to us.

In my views nothing is as important as her. Some people realizes it later when we are not in a state to change the past.

My mom is the best in fact everyone's mom is..!!!

She gives life at a risk of her own life.

But she never complaints.

She struggles to raise us,

By taking challenges all over.

She want to give the best qualities ever,

And expects us to be a good person.

She want us to be well educated,

but never compromises with the paychecks.

She will struggle to give luxuries,

by sacrificing her own needs.

She want to give all the happiness,

without any expectations.

She is the goddess of purity.

She is the idle of prosperity.

She takes the pain of womb.

not thinking of a bane for tomb.

She is the world in itself.

Words cannot describe you maa..love you.

Gadget Review- Technology Updates

Now, you are your cloud!

SPARSH

Lets you conceptually transfer media from one digital device to your body and pass it to the other digital device by simple touch gestures.Our digital world- laptop, TV, smartphone, e-book reader and all are now relying upon the cloud, the cloud of information: SPARSH explores a novel interaction method to seamlessly transfer something between these devices in a real fun way using the underlying cloud. Here it goes. Touch whatever you want to copy. Now it is saved conceptually in you. Next, touch the device you want to paste/pass the saved content.

Smartphones have been around for at least several years now, but they still have certain limitations. Despite having a plethora of wireless technologies built-in--Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, etc.--there's no simple way to transfer "clippings" of data from one device to another. But a new research project at MIT called Sparsh is aiming to fix that oversight.

Sparsh (the Hindi word for "touch") isn't an app, at least not in the way we generally use the word. It's a tool that's supposed to be part of a mobile operating system, like "undo" or "select all," running within apps at all times. It creates a virtual cloud-based clipboard where any data, like a phone number or photograph, can temporarily live until it's "pasted" to another device.

For it to work, at least two devices need to be Sparsh-enabled. A user wanting to share data becomes, in concept, an avatar for a copy-and-paste-like function. The person touches data on a device, such as a photo or text, and Sparsh sends it to the cloud. The same person then touches another device, and presto! The relevant information is pasted in as if it had been copied from the same machine.

Sparsh isn't the only tool for transferring small amounts of device-to-device data on the scene. Indeed, a popular iPhone app called Bump allows people to trade photos, apps, contact info, and even music from one phone to another simply by bumping the devices together.

Bump is very cool, but it requires both the sender and recipient to be running the app. In addition, it's not open with what it can send or where it can send it--it only works from phone to phone, and while there are many options for things it can send, there are more things it simply can't. Sparsh aims to live in the devices we use at the operating-system level, meaning it would seem intuitive to use and be available within any app for almost any type of data.

This software is a research project worked upon by Pranav Mistry of the MIT Fluid Interfaces group. The project SPARSH technology explores a novel interaction method to transfer data from one digital device in a real fun way using the underlying cloud.Touch to copy the data and touch on another device you want to paste/pass the saved content.
