The value of critical thinking
Critical thinking is, roughly, "the art of being right". Good critical thinkers get closer to the truth more often than people who lack this skill. And being right matters..

Sensor Networks

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a network made of many small sensor nodes (or motes) and one or more base stations (also called sinks), which centralises the data gathered by sensor nodes.(Source: wikipedia) Their applications are numerours, some of them are

• Industrial Control and Monitoring
• Home Automation and Consumer Electronics
• Security and Military Sensing
• Asset Tracking and Supply Chain Management
• Intelligent Agriculture and Environmental Sensing
• Health Monitoring

Optimization

Optimization can be applied in numerous areas, Computer Science, Financial, Manufacturing, Road Planning, System Control and many more.

Optimization is the process of modifying a system to improve its efficiency (Source: wikipedia)

Value of Learning !

A mythical metaphor for learning... by Tom Clark
According to Snorri Sturluson’s Edda, a thirteenth century Icelandic textbook on poetic style, the gods possessed the
best boat of all time, named Skidbladnir. It was the biggest of ships and it had two magical properties that set it aside
from any other large ships. First was that, whenever it was becalmed, it could summon a wind from any direction to
fill its sails. Second was that it could be folded up so small and light you could carry it in your pocket.

Skidbladnir is the best metaphor for the value of learning I have yet come across. Part of the attraction is its
evocative suggestion of a good that is valuable in absolute terms, is of minuscule encumbrance, and is capable of
transforming the very conditions in which it operates. Those three qualities define learning very well. Especially the
learning that characterises original research.
