Bill from Youtube channel engineerguyvideo has come up with an awesome tutorial video explaining the concepts of how fibre optic cables work and how they are used to send data/messages. In this short and concise, yet very clear video ( clocking at just 5:36 minutes), the primary concepts of the working of fibre optic cables have been discussed. Have a look at the video embedded below.
The brilliance of this video lies in the fact that how he has managed to capture the intuitive facts and bare-bone concepts of what could potentially be a complex topic of discussion replete with jargon et al.
It allows viewers to quickly grasp the concepts without being bombarded with unintelligible jargon.The mark of a great teacher if you ask me. He did more than enough explanation in those 5 minutes.
And there’s one thing that comes into my mind after watching this video – TUBES, I tell you. The whole internet is nothing but a series of tubes (or maybe complexly connected in series and parallel or a different arrangement in a different dimension).
This brings me fresh memories of the time that I had to get a new keyboard every three months. Courtesy – Mortal Kombat, that was the time when we believed in the theory that the force of keyboard strike is directly proportional to Liu Kang’s kick. Enjoy!
And whilst we are in the Mortal Kombat zone of discussion, here’s one very awesome “Forever Alone – Tech Meme”.
The oh-so-very addictive meme sensation of the century, the cat who also is a pop tart floating in space with a rainbow trail has just entered legendary territory. So you’re not familiar with what I am talking about. Ok, Techkeyla is here to rescue you from this meme ignorance. First up, the image.
Have a look at the progress bar in the video above. Yes, that’s right. That’s a mini Nyan Cat. Man, the original website is addictive enough, and my record of Nyan-ing is 450 seconds [ coz I wanted to remain sane]. But one things universally true. I want the ringtone.
You read that right. This one was spotted by Reddit user – Classic1977. No details are known about the specifications of the machine being advertised, but by the looks of it, it is an Acer netbook which promises to provide – HD Internet (whatever the fuck that means). Don’t trust me? Have a look at it yourself.
What next will they start offering? The internet in 3D ? And while we are discussing all things HD, have a look at the following advert of a contact lens product which promises to somehow magically let your eyes perceive the world in HD. *Facepalm* Have a look at the advert below.
