This Kind of a web service or facility or Add-onn or Extension can extremely help to reduce - Cart Abandonment Rates.

This piece of information can be once fed by the user and then used at any other site.

Say No To Paper Resumes

Say No To Paper Resumes

I want to request the Recruitment TEAMS of the world and HR of individual organizations to reduce the demand of carrying a PAPER printed resume while an incumbent arrives for an interview.

An average individual's resume spans 2-4 Pages and the Shelf life of that printed resume is barely a few Hours or a few days. Once the interview is conducted that resume turns out to be waste paper which is primarily unusable.

When we are living this information age and boast of being completely wired across the globe with computers and the Internet and now as of year 2016 also roam wireless across the globe then we can easily make the appropriate resume of the incumbent available on any interface feasible. Laptop Desktop a Tablet.

When we boast about our activities on CSR and showcase the Social responsibility laden events we participated on the webpages of our web-presence why don't we as responsible individuals stop wasting paper in this Internet age!

We as Responsible global Citizens Must stop Carrying the Hard copies of Our Resumes and mention about our contribution towards the Globe and attempt to reduce the Carbon Footprint and eventually Global warming...

A radical change is required where in HRs of top companies should start this Paperless Interview Drives to promote this cause of Saving paper where ever it is extremely feasible to do so.

Neither the HR should demand nor shall incumbents supply paper printed resumes!

Content Date Debate


Keywords: chronology issues, content date debate, content date, article date, content age, dateless URL

My premise: It would be great if all content over the internet had a date associated to it. Creation date | Published date | Completion Date | Refreshed date something of the sort which makes a user aware as to how old is this published content so that the user can take a call on the validity of reference of the content to a specific time frame.

while searching over the internet for similar queries... I found these two articles most close to my premise while I searched for the String "Web Content date debate"

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/great-date-debate/

and

https://contently.com/strategist/2012/04/18/post-chronological-order/


The Other Side of the coin

A blog focused on timeless content — such as recipes, relationship advice, business tips or opinions — could benefit from a date-free blog design. The removal of dates and other unnecessary meta-data allows the blog to look more like a resource and less like a journal or commentary on fleeting issues.

But date removal is not wise for all formats. Consider a blog covering web design techniques or technology trends. While these types of posts are often found without a date, some readers may find it irresponsible not to provide some indication of how old the technique is. Readers new to the techniques benefit more from using current information that is relevant to today’s standards.

Auto Drive Similar to Auto Pilot

Concept - 'Auto Drive' Similar to 'Auto Pilot'

In the automotive industry, we’re rapidly moving from horsepower to processor power. It’s not just the WIFI in the car and the drive statistics. There’s going to be a plethora of self-driving cars in the making and soon algorithms will sync with city traffic patterns to smoothly glide us back to our smart homes.

This article describes a concept mechanism in an Automated car in a complete wired cyber-city.
During these times the city will contain automobiles with driver-less capability which will smoothly sync the traffic across streets and optimize signals and vehicle speeds to gain maximum efficiency for all vehicles.
By default the cars can be driven on Manual Mode but in the case of an even of collusion the Driver will have three different buttons to control such panic situations:

Button One : Standard Auto Drive
Button Two : Ease-in Auto Drive
Button Three : Smart Auto Drive

All three Modes explained:

Standard Auto Drive mode:
Standard Auto Drive mode allows the driver to stop holding the and allow the complete control of the car to be handled by the auto pilot mechanism of the car

Ease-in Auto Drive mode:
Ease-in Auto Drive Mode allows the auto pilot to control the car without any jerk or major movement to passengers such that the car collusion is also managed but there is no damage to the passengers of the car. this happens with a smooth hand shaking between the Manual and Auto Pilot mode which also covers the latency of the Auto Pilot mode's startup and full functioning control

Smart Auto Drive mode:
Smart Auto Drive mode functionality is the best of the above three which will be intelligently always active during all trips of the automobile and even when it is not functional, this mode will be constantly calcualating vehicle speeds, proximity parameters and collusion probabilities of nearby vehicles such that if this mode is suddenly switched on then it won't incur startup mechanism latency and will function as if it was already active providing a safe collusion with less or no damage to the vehicle as well as no trouble to the passengers traveling in the vehicle.

Relative Referance of Articles and Blogs

Mobile application design and development has been ‘the thing’ as of late. With the growing prominence of smartphones, more and more applications are developed. It’s like, we have an app for everything, right?

What makes it even more amazing is that this year, the projected number of smartphone users will be 1.75 billion.

When you read the term "This Year" you wonder which Year is the author referring to since the article that you are reading is not necessarily the latest one and the term "This Year" is such a relative reference... It could even mean 5 years ago if you are reading a relatively old article from the internet....

To solve this problem of relativity for the Year or month in context.... I expect a system, an approach a tag attribute or even a web service for the reason which will take care of the relative reference of time when one refers to this
Year, this Month, this Day or this Hour as to when exactly was this mentioned may be based on the Day Date Time and Year when the article was published and how much time has already passed since then so that the reader can appropriately judge the validity of the context and relativity of the subject matter pertaining to the present time NOW!


For example an article on cricketer Sachin Tendulakar reads today is a the 38th birthday of the God of cricket [ whose current age is 42 Years (DOB-24th April 1973 - Source Wikipedia) as of 2:27 PM 4/5/2016 ]

This would mean that the article is already four years old and the text reference would be great if it reads - Today is the 42nd birthday of the God of cricket!


Expected solutions with Further applications are -

A Reference of when this article was first Published / Edited / Updated
A Correction in Time Reference of the subject or Protagonist - For Eg: 38th Birthday (4 Years ago) and  42nd Birthday as of today!

Solution Proposition in HTML - An (Age)
(/age) tag which encapsulates such relative content Specially useful for News articles and Blogs


(age)
(ageimg)(img src="ageimg.png" alt="Age Image")(/ageimg)
(firstDate)14 Mar 2012(/firstDate)
(ArticleDate)24 April 2012(/ArticleDate)
(ref)http://www.wikipedia.org/sachin_tendulkar(/ref)
(/age)

Probably on the Hover of this tag, the user will be able to get a cross-reference pop up which mentions when the article was first initiated / published , when the article was last edited / updated / republished and the (ref) tag which provides the source of the information in context.

HTML CSS and JavaScript in a Nutshell

A website or a 'web application' primarily deals with a browser; effectively a 'browser engine' which executes code from the server and renders it in the form of HTML which is essentially "Hyper Text Markup Language"

HTML is a markup language largely inspired by SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) which is 'platform independent' (does not depend on the Operating System used), 'device independent' and 'browser independent' and a non-proprietary standard maintained by the W3C Consortium.

CSS, Cascading Style Sheets as the full form suggests is a style sheet language that helps to build the presentation of the web content. It can be rendered in three different ways. Viz. In-line style sheets, Embedded or Internal style sheets and External style sheets.

Lastly JavaScript is a scripting Language which has been standardized in the ECMAScript language specification. It helps to further modify the DOM and do certain dynamic tasks which are not possible with basic CSS and HTML

JavaScript allows you to modify already rendered content in the browser, do stuff on event triggers like document / Browser refresh, Mouse click, Mouse hover and keyboard input with keystrokes. 


In my next blog I will be talking about Effective Web Design and Development, so stay tuned . . . .
