Data warehousing for Human Life - Cntd....2

On the second question, people are known for their diversity:

I Agree, All the business are known for their diversity.
But how are we comparing them, analysing them  for our organization growth?
There are many factors that can be compared, analyzed without losing their individuality.  

Simple example
“Can you compare Google and Facebook, apart from fact they are in technology business and their Mobile OS?”
Most of the people say a big “NO……” Facebook is in social networking business and Google is in search business,’ how can you compare?’
But if you take a closer look, face book is more or less following Google path. Facebook is doing what Google had done for advertisement.
Google networked the entire advertisement platform through their ad sense across the Internet, what Facebook is doing is they are networking all the contents across Internet by their API’s.

Similarly if we look closely, we can compare and analyze individual’s life and still they can retain their own individuality.There are lot of aspects which we can learn from other people that are not impacted by time, technology and locations.

The objective of this new application,
  • Is to provide insight about the personal life of individuals?
  • It is to provide insight of individuals whom we care?
  • To compare our life with individuals, whom we love to (provide if they are ok in sharing theirs)?
If I had an opportunity to analyze my learning curve with Larry page (CEO of Google), I would have retrospected my self with his dedication principles to my dedication principles.

How many young cricketers want to be Sachin?
How many technologists want to be Steve Jobs?
How many investors want to be Buffet?

As most of successfull people are having a greater desire to contribute something back for the society they are ready to share their experience, but the time is stopping them for doing so. 
For all successful people time is everything !!!!

Similarly most of us want to analyse how our role model experience can help us achieving our goal.
For us, we can’t afford to meet buffet by paying millions of dollars or fly from Asia to meet Steve jobs. 
So, the only problem now is, ‘How we can achieve this setup without effecting individual’s privacy, time and money? ‘.

If we have a system,’ where buffet has to spend less than 5 minutes a day to share his day’s inspiration’, he may be ready to share. This will change the life of millions across globe.The system or application which we are talking here is to provide a plat form for such a mutual sharing. Not only mutual sharing, analysing them over a period of time and growing our self. I see, “what data warehousing had done to business in past 10 years to business, we can achieve the same for human life in another 5 to 10 years”.


Till I reach you back   “MERRY CHRISTMAS”   to all……

One of the reader said, the technology had given best for all peoples at same time increased divorce rate in UK?
Is there a technology can help in minimising this ……..

Data warehousing for human Life - Contd...1

Most of the people asked an interesting, but the same question when they read my article,
How can you compare between individuals?
1. One set of people said, a decade or couple of decade ago we never had Google, Facebook, IPod etc...The life style had completely changed, how can you compare them?
2. Other set of people said 'how can you compare individuals? they are known for the diversity.'

Let me take a deep look at the first question:
At high level it seems it is very difficult and we say we can‘t. Let us take a closer look.
There is an old saying “CHANGE is the only thing that never CHANGES over time” and we are true, our life style changed over a period of time.
We have become more dependent on gadgets than our self
We are having more artificial engagement & entertainments at our disposal.

I remember, my dad use to multiply two four digit (1234 * 9876) numbers without using calculator and give me the accurate answer in less than 30 seconds. That was the power of individual brain 30 years ago.
My dad is not a PhD or some genius, he is just a diploma holder, who worked very hard for his living.
He used to say his father is more intelligent than him. That was the power of human brain couple of decades ago.
Can I do a two three digit (123 * 987) multiply. Nope!! I require a computer or a calculator to do that. Though I can do two digit multiplications (12 * 98).
Who knows our next generation may require the electronic gadgets to even do the two digit multiplication.

What is the reason for this huge memory drain, within a family generation?
Is it the new gadgets in the environment, or the food habits or the parents’ life style that caused this memory drain? 

Is it not true, we as an individual should know
  • How our life had changed after getting addicted to gadgets?
  • How our relationship changed with our parents, friends, Kids after using the instruments?
  • How my medical cost went up after the purchase of one or series of gadgets?
  • How our memory power had reduced over period of decades?
  • How my earning power had increased, health had increased over the period of time?
These types of questions can be answered if we have a data warehousing for our own life.
This type of answers helps us to retrospect our life. This will help us to re – organize our priorities, so that our kids will have the mathematical power of our father and the luxury of gadgets as ours.
By analyzing our self we can say, does the change happened over a period of time around me is good for my personal life? Or is it taking away the good from me?

Gandhi (Who is as called father of nation in INDIA) who is father of non-violence said “if you want to bring in change into the environment, you implement all the change to yourself before asking the environment to change”. Don’t this data warehousing for human life will help us to achieve those good things?

It is not required for a corporation to pour in billions of dollars to analyze these information’s. We can do it our self, by simple discipline in the data collection process.
Today’s technological advances have provided us the necessary tool to reorganize our self.

Please let me know your thoughts on this topic this will help us to reach a common ground to redefine our own life.

Oops!!  I will answer the other question raised in the following post....

Data warehousing for human life


I always thought that the technology growth or any inventions are helping all humans or at least one group of humans.

I was playing with my 3 year old daughter. As every one know kids at this age ask most of the intelligent questions. She casually asked a question to me
Daddy, am I active like mom or you? (Of course she asked this question in her mother tongue).
I answered her you are active like your mom.
Then she asked, when she was at my age does mom used the laptop mouse on her left hand or right hand? (We were asking our daughter to use mouse with her right hand)
I was starring at my wife searching for answer ……..
Then I started to give a long answer.My daughter just starred at me for some time and went back to her laptop.

I started to just re access the conversation we had.
Since parents are the first teachers and kids always want to know how they are performing compared to parents.
She just wanted to know, does she is growing like her mom or dad?
Her laptop usage is as whom? Which seems to be a valid question?

Professionally I design data warehouse, provide business Intelligence solutions to answer these questions for various businesses. But I could not answer the same question to my daughter in a proper way.
Though we never had nor even heard of  computer at our early ages, I could not answer do we had used right hand or left hand for our activities during drawing , writing etc.. in our early ages
No data points to substantiate. If we are lucky our parents or grand parents may remember.

I asked myself “why don’t I have something to analyze my own life?”
Deep thinking on this topic made me to realise that, we as technocrats build lot of intelligent tools to make correct decision for business and to correct if there was any red flags in the business process etc…
But, had we built some thing to do the same for our personal life?
I see a list less benefit for man kind by having such a system
- Our kids can compare their habits with parent’s habits
- Parents can see any psychological changes at an early stage, which will help kids to correct easily
- Young adults can see how he is performing with parents or even comparing with grandparents or even with a person who is performing well in their area of interest
-  Etc…

Always we have other side for any such new technology or road blocks in implementing this technology
Your feedbacks are very valuable for this new technology to evolve….
All comments are welcome.
