I Speak my mind

               Transactive memory is the word of century. We are living in a world where every bit of information is in our pocket by the click of a button. Every one has heard of the story of "genie from the bottle", today this genie has taken the form of Search Engine. It is more like a god who will grant you any thing you ask for, sorry typed for. If i am not wrong voice activated searches are also ready to be launched or already launched.              Our definition of intelligence is, how much a person know, in this case how much data can a person store in his/her memory, that is why we have iphones, smartphones, tablets etc, so that we don't have to store or remember in our brain. We always related intelligence with memory, which is not. By this definition today's gadgets can store enormous amount of data and not only that today they don't have to store any thing, instead storing is done in some place else and you can access it  from any where, every where

Today, our country again witnessed another accident in an unmanned level-crossing in UP. More than 30 lives were lost. It is not an isolated problem that has been going on only in Indian subcontinent. But even in developed countries such accidents are unavoidable. In England in 2002-03 more than 2000  deaths were reported by such collisions.           In India there are 38341 level crossings present in which 16549 level crossing are manned and 21792 level crossings are unmanned.Its time we should automatise the level crossings. There are many successful amateur projects that has been done that shows automatic level crossing system is possible.In USA they are trying a system called "TRAX ALERT" which is in its experimental mode. In this system a series of signal modules are paved in the line of track and this modules signals if train is approaching.          An automatic level crossing monitoring system using WSN(wireless sensor network) had been proposed by Alka Dubey and
