WhatsApp's technique of curbing forwarded messages works, 70% less viral messages

Ahmedabad. 28 April 2020, Tuesday

The easier it is to spread rumors and fake news on social media, the harder it is to monitor. But if the social media company wants to see it, it can curb it in the blink of an eye.

Fake news spread like wildfire on social media after the Corona virus spread around the world. WhatsApp then restricted message forwarding to one person, before any message could be forwarded to five people at once.

WhatsApp's trick to curb rumors has worked. Forwarded messages on WhatsApp have dropped by 70 per cent since the company's decision. WhatsApp has provided the information.

WhatsApp released a statement saying there was a 70 per cent drop in fast forwarding messages. What is special is that this change has been seen in just two weeks after the launch of the feature.

The World Health Organization also warned all countries around the world about the news going viral on social media. Let's say that if a message is forwarded more than five times, then WhatsApp considers it as a highly forwarded message.

It is to be mentioned that in the year 2018, WhatsApp first curbed forwarding, after which a message was forwarded to five people at a time. The decision to limit message forwarding to five was followed by a 25 per cent drop in viral messages. Two years later, the technique has reduced viral messaging by 79 percent.

New delhi date. 26 April 2023, Wednesday Not even 24 hours have passed since last week's solar flares reduced in intensity. There, the American space research agency NASA has once again expressed the possibility of solar flares. NASA said that the storm from the Sun will be more dangerous than before. This storm is going to have a direct impact on the world. It can also have a major impact on the Earth's magnetic field. Due to which GPS and internet connection may be interrupted. What are solar flares? According to NASA scientists, solar flares are caused by massive bursts of plasma and magnetic waves from the Sun's core. As a result, billions of solar particles can be scattered all around. Its impact on the solar system cannot be stopped. A week ago, a storm in the form of solar flares was observed in the solar system. His light also came to earth. The Indian Ocean was the most affected by the solar storm.

Palm projection smartwatch coming?

Image
As various technology companies file patents for the design of the next technology, we can predict what kind of products we will be able to use in the future. Samsung recently filed a patent for its upcoming smartwatch. Which shows that this smartwatch will have a projector built-in! The smaller screen in smartwatches compared to smartphones in general hinders its usability. The Samsung company has tried to find a solution by adding a projector to the smartwatch! The wearer of this smartwatch will be able to project the screen of the smartwatch onto their palm. Hence, you can benefit from a display that is twice as large as the screen of a smartwatch.

World Asteroid Day 2020: Why is this day celebrated today?

Image
New delhi date. 30 June 2020, Tuesday It was a fateful morning. People saw a very bright and intense light on the earth just like the sun. Ten minutes later a loud explosion was heard. This was a huge explosion. Witnesses said the blast was so powerful that the ground shook like an earthquake. Hundreds of kilometers away, the windows of people's houses were broken. About 80 million trees were uprooted within a distance of two and a half thousand kilometers. As if the abyss had not been broken. This horrific event was caused by the collision of a huge asteroid (meteorite) with the Earth. The collision caused an 8 km deep pit to fall into the ground. This place has been deserted for more than a hundred years. Even today no tree or plant can grow here. This event is considered to be the largest asteroid collision in history. The event took place on June 30, 1908 in Tunguska, Russia, known in the astronomical as well as space world as the Tunguska Event. Not only this, in the world ...

NASA's Artemis-1 launch in trouble again, mission hit after fuel leakage

Image
Washington, September 3, 2022, Saturday As part of America's plan to go to the moon, the Artemis-1 mission is back in the spotlight. NASA scientists discovered fuel leakage and engine failure in the rocket just hours before launch. This is the second time a mission has had to be postponed in a single week. Ortemis-1 mission was to be launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Hence, a new schedule will be arranged for the third time in the near future. However, the date and time of the third attempt has not been fixed. NASA's Artemis mission aims to send a man to the moon by 2025. Currently, a capsule named Orion has been prepared.

84 Earth years are equal to 1 year on this planet, captured by James Webb using infrared wavelengths.

Image
Washington, April 27, 2023, Thursday Some give great importance to the number 84 in the philosophy of life according to the scriptures. There are millions of galaxies and billions of stars in the universe. One of the planets around the solar system is Uranus, the American space agency NASA has shared a picture of Uranus. This image was taken from the James Webb Space Telescope. Uranus is the 7th planet of the solar system orbiting the Sun. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft passed through Uranus Pass in 1986, the camera imaged Uranus as a blue-green round light, but no surrounding ring of light. According to NASA, the image taken by James Webb of Uranus using infrared wavelengths shows that the planet has bright rings around it. A special feature of Uranus compared to other planets in the solar system is that it orbits at a 90 degree tilt on its axis. Hence any season on Uranus is extreme. Here in the polar region the sun is bright for years and then it is dark for as many years. This is...
