My thoughts

In this new world .technology must emulated since in every aspect of life and the many fields-engineering,medicine,education,transport etc all depend on technology .
Robots work efficiently and fast .technology agencies and the world large should follow suit etc

Tech world

Long time ago the world was miles away technologicaly

Promiscuous mode

In computer networking, promiscuous mode or
promisc mode is a mode for a wired network
interface controller (NIC) or wireless network
interface controller (WNIC) that causes the
controller to pass all traffic it receives to the
central processing unit (CPU) rather than
passing only the frames that the controller is
intended to receive. This mode is normally used
for packet sniffing that takes place on a router
or on a computer connected to a hub (instead
of a switch) or one being part of a WLAN.
Interfaces are placed into promiscuous mode by
software bridges often used with hardware
virtualization.
In IEEE 802 networks such as Ethernet, token
ring, and IEEE 802.11, and in FDDI, each frame
includes a destination Media Access Control
address (MAC address). In non-promiscuous
mode, when a NIC receives a frame, it normally
drops it unless the frame is addressed to that
NIC's MAC address or is a broadcast or
multicast frame. In promiscuous mode,
however, the card allows all frames through,
thus allowing the computer to read frames
intended for other machines or network devices.
Many operating systems require superuser
privileges to enable promiscuous mode. A non-
routing node in promiscuous mode can
generally only monitor traffic to and from other
nodes within the same broadcast domain (for
Ethernet and IEEE 802.11) or ring (for token
ring or FDDI). Computers attached to the same
network hub satisfy this requirement, which is
why network switches are used to combat
malicious use of promiscuous mode. A router
may monitor all traffic that it routes.
Promiscuous mode is often used to diagnose
network connectivity issues. There are programs
that make use of this feature to show the user
all the data being transferred over the network.
Some protocols like FTP and Telnet transfer data
and passwords in clear text, without encryption,
and network scanners can see this data.
Therefore, computer users are encouraged to
stay away from insecure protocols like telnet
and use more secure ones such as SSH.

Ways to share your passion in learning

Most teachers in our recent times realy get hard times in teaching.below are some tips for teachers to their students so that they nurture a good learning culture.
1. Be open with your own passion.
—It’s unbelievably boring to learn from someone who doesn’t even seem to care about what they are saying. It’s incredibly inspiring, on the other hand, to have someone talk about a topic with pure joy. If you love something, then show it. It’s contagious.
2. Regularly apply your passion, and tell your students.
—Be an example. If you were thinking about something, working on a project, or just walking along and found something interest that relates to class, tell you students about the experience. What you and your students talk about doesn’t have to be isolated to your classroom. Let them see how what you’re teaching applies to the world beyond the classroom.
3. Get students to apply it, too.
—Whatever your content is, if students have experience applying that knowledge to more than a test,they’ll be hooked. The world is diverse and fascinating. Classrooms, on the other hand, are abysmally isolating at times. Give them a glimpse of the real world.
4. Passion is cool.
—At least, that what we adults
think. Students often shy away from becoming too “academic” or “nerdy” because school isn’t
always presented as something cool. But it is. Constantly remind students that being smart,
passionate, engaged people is cool–and give them plenty of opportunities to be cool.
5. Set goals and reward improvement.
—When students set a goal for their own academic growth, half the battle is already won. Now
they have an internal motivating factor that will help propel them to that next level of success. And lavishly reward students who
make any improvements.

Turning even just one student onto a particular topic is not easy, and getting an entire class
passionate is a true challenge. But with the right enthusiastic atmosphere, students might
just realize that learning can be really, really
cool.
