News services that read our minds can be controlled


Do you use Google or Microsoft or any other similar news app to stay updated with daily news ? Almost all news apps are ' smart ' and after analyzing our usage , they start to decide on their own what news we are most interested in.

So sometimes it happens that you have clicked on a news piece , but then the ' News for you ' section of the same type of news gets crowded. Or some kind of news you are not interested in but showing up in that feed. Go to the options for such news , you can say whether you want to see more of that type of news or not.

Similarly, some sources of news can be completely blocked.

Image
New Delhi, Dt.10.Jul.2021.Saturday The powerful solar storm generated on the surface of the sun is rushing towards the earth at a speed of 1.6 million kilometers per hour. The solar storm could collide with Earth at any time on Sunday or Monday. Scientists have warned that it could disrupt satellite signals, as well as affect aircraft flight, radio signal communication and the weather. According to a weather forecasting website, the storm, which originated in the Sun's atmosphere, could affect a part of the Earth's magnetic field, causing people living near the polar regions to see a rush at night. The US space agency NASA estimates that the wind generated by the solar storm is moving at a speed of 1.6 million kilometers per hour. It is possible that its speed may be much higher than estimated. As a result, atmospheric temperatures may rise outside the Earth, affecting satellites and disrupting GPS navigation, mobile phone signals and satellite TV. Increasing currents in ...
