    Study Notes

    Technology in Current Affairs

    Artificial Intelligence (AI)

    • AI refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, and decision-making.
    • Applications of AI include:
      • Virtual assistants (e.g. Siri, Alexa)
      • Image and speech recognition
      • Autonomous vehicles
      • Healthcare diagnostics
    • Concerns surrounding AI include:
      • Job displacement
      • Bias in decision-making algorithms
      • Privacy and security risks

    Cybersecurity

    • Cybersecurity refers to the protection of computer systems, networks, and sensitive information from unauthorized access, theft, or damage.
    • Key threats include:
      • Phishing attacks
      • Ransomware
      • Identity theft
      • Data breaches
    • Measures to prevent cyber attacks include:
      • Strong passwords and authentication
      • Regular software updates
      • Encryption
      • Employee education and awareness

    • Concerns surrounding social media include the spread of misinformation, cyberbullying, privacy violations, and addiction and mental health impacts.

    E-commerce and Digital Payments

    • E-commerce involves buying and selling goods and services online.
    • Digital payments include online transactions (e.g. PayPal, credit cards), mobile payments (e.g. Apple Pay, Google Pay), and cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin).
    • Benefits of e-commerce and digital payments include convenience, global accessibility, increased efficiency, and job creation.
    • Concerns include security risks, data privacy, and inequality in access to digital infrastructure.

    Newton's First Law

    • Also known as the Law of Inertia, which states that an object will maintain its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force
    • An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move with a constant velocity, unless a force is applied
    • A force is required to change the motion of an object, and this law applies to all objects, big or small

    Inertia

    • The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, which is a measure of its mass
    • More massive objects have more inertia, making it more difficult to change their motion
    • Inertia can be observed in three ways:
      • Resistance to change in motion
      • Maintaining velocity
      • Maintaining direction

    Conservation of Momentum

    • The total momentum of a closed system remains constant over time, according to the law of conservation of momentum
    • Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity (p = mv)
    • In a closed system, the total momentum before a collision or interaction is equal to the total momentum after the collision or interaction
    • Conservation of momentum applies to all interactions, including collisions, explosions, and other types of motion, and has many practical applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and astronomy
