8 Amazing Facts about Digital Indian

🌕 According to McKinsey’s ‘Digital India’ report of 2019, the benefits of digitising India are impressive, although only 40 per cent of the population has internet

access, and there is uneven adoption in businesses, leaving considerable room for improvement.

🌕 A McKinsey survey has found Sections of Indian business that 80 per cent of firms say digital is ‘top priority’, but only 41 per cent say their digital strategy is

fully integrated in their company’s strategy.

🌕 India has the world’s highest data usage per smartphone at an average of 9.8GB per month, a new report by Swedish telecom equipment maker Ericsson

said.

🌕 Over 21 per cent of those signing up at online outsourcing sites worldwide are Indians, second only to the Americans.

🌕 India is now second only to China in many dimensions of digital adoption —number of wireless phone and Internet subscribers and those accessing social media.

🌕 Eventhough India is still at the bottom of a list of 17 countries in overall digital adoption, but it is moving faster than any other country, barring Indonesia

🌕 India has the 2nd highest FinTech adoption rate among the major economies in the world.

🌕 According to Internet Security Threat Report 2017, India is 3rd most vulnerable country in terms of risk of cyber threats (e.g. malware, spam & ransomware etc.)

How Energy conversion from coal is done?

Single generator sets of over 600 MW are now used in the UK, though there are many smaller generators in use. A 600 MW generator can supplythe average needs of over 1 million UK households. Three or four such generators are typically installed in a single large coal-fired station which isoften sited close to a coal mine, away from the city dwellers who consume the electricity. Such generators are usually driven by a compound arrangement of highpressure, intermediate-pressure and low-pressure turbines, increasing in size as the pressure decreases. Modern turbines rotate in a speed range from 1500 to 3500 r.p.m., usually 3000 r.p.m. for the UK’s 50 Hz system. For large coal-fired plant the steam pressure could be 25 megapascals (MPa) with steam temperatures of 500–600 °C to improve the thermodynamic efficiency. In nuclear reactors, which operate under less demanding conditions, the steam is superheated to about 5 MPa and 300 °C. Modern water tube boilers are complex and have ...

How Bulletproof glass works?

Shattering the science behind what makes the breakable unbreakable Bullet-resistant glass works by absorbing a bullet’s kinetic (movement) energy and dissipating it across a larger area. Multiple layers of toughened glass are reinforced with alternated layers of polycarbonate – a tough but ﬂ exible transparent plastic which retains the see-through properties of glass. As a bullet strikes the ﬁ rst glass layer, the polycarbonate layer behind it forces the glass to shatter internally rather than outwards. This process absorbs some of the bullet’s kinetic energy. The high velocity impact also ﬂ attens the bullet’s head. Imagine trying to pierce through a sheet of cotton with the top end of a pencil. It would be very difﬁ cult compared to using the sharp pointed end. The same principle applies here. The ﬂ at-headed bullet struggles to penetrate the layer of polycarbonate. As the bullet travels through each layer of glass and polycarbonate, the process is repeated until it no l...

How Coal mining is done?

Coal miners literally move mountains to feed our insatiable appetite for cheap energy There’s something brutally simple about coal mining. Take away the monstrous new machinery and ecofriendly marketing jargon and it’s the same dirty, dangerous job it’s always been: ﬁ nd the black stuff and dig it up. The two major schools of coal mining are surface mining and underground mining. To qualify for surface mining, the coal seam must lie within 60 metres of the surface. The miners’ job is to remove all of the ‘overburden’ – the cubic tons of rock, soil and trees above the coal seam – and expose the coal layer for extraction. The main tools of the trade are dynamite and dragline excavators, 2,000-ton behemoths that can move 450 tons of material with one swoop of their massive buckets. Perhaps the most dramatic and controversial surface mining technique is Mountaintop Removal (MTR), in which miners use explosives and heavy machinery to literally knock the top off a mountain – up to 200 ...
