ATHLETES OF INDIA AT 2024 OLYMPICS | PARIS

Image
There are just two years left when the whole world will witness the future stunning performances by athletes at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games which will commence on Friday, 26 July 2024 and end on Sunday, 11 August 2024. India is hoping to outdo their own record this time. During the recently concluded Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the Indian athletes took 61 medals home that were just a bit short of the 66 which they had taken home during the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast in 2018. Which has raised the standards for the next Olympic Games in Paris.  Shooting was not included in the Birmingham Games and getting almost equal medals, despite the fact that shooters had earned 16 gold medals in the Gold Coast tally of 66 it shows the fact that Indian athletes have developed in other sports as well and that assures it is going to be an exciting show in Paris. In Tokyo 2020 too, India was awarded seven medals including Neeraj Chopra's stunning gold in javelin throwing, showcasing

THE RISE OF ROBOTS IN JAPAN

There is a fair possibility that a Japanese business is behind every robotics innovation you hear about in the news. Why? You might be surprised by the response; it has a lot to do with demographics (relating to the structure of population). Although we typically identify the post World War 2 era with population growth, Japan actually saw a fall in population following the war. The enormous loss of nearly a generation of young men, along with the ruined economy, low morale, and destroyed infrastructure, significantly slowed Japan's population growth. Japan also has very restrictive immigration policies and culturally is not as welcoming to outsiders as other countries. It also has the highest longevity rates of any country in the world! What results, then, from a large proportion of elderly individuals and a decreasing population qualified to care for them (and pay for their care)? You get robots. The rise of personal-care robots is the real revolution in robotics, even tho
