Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing production systems by combining machines, data, and smart technologies to create smarter factories. It builds on the development of Industry 3.0, also known as the Digital Revolution.

Industry 4.0 is all about bringing in advanced tech to make factories smarter and more efficient. What’s fascinating is how Industry 4.0 is transforming our traditional manufacturing systems. Can you imagine machines talking to each other and even fixing themselves when something goes wrong – that’s IoT at work! For example, if a machine starts to have issues, it can let us know before it breaks down, saving time and money. AI helps us make the whole production process faster and smoother by figuring out the best schedules and improving quality. Plus, these technologies make our factories more environmentally friendly for us by reducing waste and energy usage. Of course, some researchers have raised concerns, like the risk of job loss and the cost of upgrading old systems, but the benefits outweigh the cost!

The fourth industrial revolution is reshaping the manufacturing world, bringing amazing benefits but also a few challenges we need to think about. We are excited to see where it takes us!

Two men, one field, distinct cultures, and separated by centuries: Ibn Khaldun, known for his work on the Muqaddimah (Introduction), and Comte, known for the development of Positivism.

Western society often tends to overlook the achievements and contributions of non-Western people. They view the world from a Eurocentric perspective; this implies a belief in the superiority of Western civilization. If you look into the EV industry, Western media always highlights Tesla while downplaying China's BYD, even though BYD offers superior value compared to Tesla. Returning to our discussion of Ibn Khaldun and Auguste Comte: Khaldun, from Andalus, modern-day Spain, saw a cyclical pattern in social change, while Comte saw a linear progression. These two differing views were formed based on their surroundings. Ibn Khaldun observed the rise and fall of dynasties and the power struggles within society. Auguste Comte lived during the time of the French Revolution, when traditional, religion-based society was being replaced by secularism. However, both indicated social cohesion as a factor in the downfall of societies, but Ibn Khaldun introduced this concept centuries earlier as Asabiyyah, meaning social cohesion or solidarity. On the other hand, it was Comte who coined the term "Sociology" and promoted it as a scientific discipline. The bias of Eurocentrism and the rising number of secularists overshadowed the works and contributions of Ibn Khaldun, while giving Auguste Comte the title "Father of Sociology," as he introduced the "Religion of Humanity," overthrowing the supernatural-centric society. The motto of his religion was "Love as a principle, Order as a basis, and Progress as the goal." It is amusing to find the relevance of this motto in our society, which is far from the West.

Ibn Khaldun and Auguste Comte both contributed heavily to the field of sociology, but one remained within the boundaries of religion and promoted solidarity in the face of power struggles, while the other sought to create a new religion to establish social stability. One was religious, and the other was secularist, and the world crowned the secularist.

The term was coined by Harry Brignull, a recognized thought leader in the UX field, on July 28, 2010. The purpose of dark patterns is to keep users hooked on the platform at the expense of users' time and privacy.

Signing up on Facebook is very easy, but deleting or deactivating your Facebook account is hard! This is called Roach Motel; this kind of design makes it very easy to sign up for an account but extremely difficult to cancel. Also, by default, we tend to select "Agree to Terms & Policy" of any social media platform, thinking it is not important, but in reality, we are responding to our cognitive biases. When suddenly we are bombarded with lots of information that we do not understand, there is an incentive to overlook the information. Here, the incentive is to quickly move to the next step. Because we have social proof, we tend not to care about the things written in the platform's "Terms & Policy"; as a result, we lose our privacy. Moreover, with the help of dark patterns, social media platforms are becoming more addictive day by day, giving us its fruit—Brain Rot. Accept it or not, the prowess of dark patterns can make you easy prey when you enter a platform to do something, but it will make you stay longer and do things unproductive of your time.

Controlling the usage of dark patterns is very difficult, but the good news is we can still control our behavior. If we stay focused and use social media platforms purposefully, we can get ourselves out of the nest of dark patterns.

Our beloved gadgets may one day not just help us but completely outthink us. Sounds like science fiction, right? Let me break it down with some relatable examples to make it easier to understand.

Imagine a machine solving complex problems like climate change or curing diseases in seconds that would take humans decades. For instance, what if an AI could design a medicine tailored for you before you even got sick? Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? Now, let’s talk about another amazing power of Superintelligence: creativity. Yes, machines can be creative, too! Picture an AI writing books, composing music, or even creating stunning art. Ever heard of AI-generated songs that sound like they were sung by your favorite artists? Like Ronaldo singing “Sweety tumi ar kedona.” That’s just a small taste of what Superintelligence can do. But here’s the catch. What happens if these machines start making decisions we don’t understand? Imagine asking an AI for help with global peace, and it decides the best way to achieve it is to eliminate conflict and humans along with it. Scary thought, isn’t it? For example, do you remember the two Facebook bots, Bob and Alice, who created their own language to communicate? Researchers couldn’t understand what they were saying, so the experiment had to be shut down because it was very dangerous and concerning.

So what’s the key takeaway here? Superintelligence has the potential to be both a friend and a foe, depending on how we guide its development. Recognizing its power and preparing for its impacts will allow us to harness it for good.

Is it fate or devotion to a promise? In his teens, Jensen Huang told his girlfriend (now his wife) that he would become a CEO at the age of 30. We must admit he was so concerned about the promise that he became a CEO and co-founded NVIDIA, a multi-trillion dollar tech titan.

Jensen got his first job at the age of 16 in a local Denny's, working as a busboy and waiter. Surprisingly, he included this job role in his LinkedIn profile, indicating his work ethic and respect for every job. His journey started in the semiconductor industry with LSI and AMD, and after quitting his job to co-found NVIDIA, he ran into a problem when trying to write a business plan. In an interview, Jensen said, “I had the worst elevator pitch ever.” But how he got the finances to start NVIDIA was very intriguing. Nobody evaluated his business idea; rather, everyone evaluated him because his idea didn’t make any sense to any investors. Now the question comes as to why he was at the center of interest in funding NVIDIA. The reason was simple: he built a legacy of hard work, passion, and resilience to overcome obstacles.

After getting all the fame, Jensen Huang is not sitting in his comfort zone. The journey of his innovation continues.

The two persons signing the instrument of surrender on the 16th of December 1971 were Lt. Gen. A.A.K. Niazi from Pakistan and Lt. Gen. Jagjit Singh Aurora from India.

The war was between Pakistan and Bangladesh, but an Indian army general signed the surrender paper with Pakistan, and it should raise our eyebrows. The question that comes next is whether the Independence War was a greater part of the Indo-Pak war.
We had Major General M.A.G Osmani the commander-in-chief of the Mukti Bahini and it was he who divided Bangladesh into 11 sectors for military operations. But he didn't appear to sign on the surrender paper. Or Osmani may be stuck in a toilet because he ate street foods and had loose motion so he asked his beloved Jagjit Singh Aurora to sign the papers on his behalf.

There are a lot of explanations we need to understand this situation. For now, enjoy the victory day without the League of Apa. Happy Victory Day!

Why do we have a day for philosophy? Seriously, in a world obsessed with speed and technology, it might seem odd to take a moment to sit back and ask, "Why are we here?" But that’s exactly why World Philosophy Day is so important. It’s not just about honoring old ideas or ancient thinkers—it’s about reigniting our passion for asking the big questions that still shape our lives today. From the nature of existence
to the ethics of artificial intelligence, philosophy remains the unseen force behind many of today’s breakthroughs. And here’s the fun part: it’s not as boring as it sounds. In fact, philosophy could be the key to unlocking the future.

Think about it—without philosophy, we wouldn’t have the foundations of modern science, ethics, or even the way we govern ourselves. Take Cognitive Science, for example. The way we understand our minds and develop artificial intelligence can be traced back to philosophical questions about thought and consciousness. The Philosophy of Computing and Information is more relevant than ever in a world dominated by big data and privacy concerns, shaping how we handle digital information. Then there’s the Philosophy of Mathematics, which forms the logic behind the algorithms that power everything from Google search results to self-driving cars. And what about the Philosophy of Physical Science? It’s helped us ask the right questions about the universe, leading to breakthroughs in quantum physics and space exploration.

These aren’t just abstract ideas; they’re the foundation of the technological
revolutions we see around us. One of the most profound examples is the creation of the computer. Early philosophers like Alan Turing pondered the very nature of computation and logic, paving the way for the invention of the machine that transformed human history. From those early musings, we got computers, which evolved into the smartphones, AI, and digital ecosystems that define our world today.
What started as deep, philosophical inquiry is now the cornerstone of the tech-driven age we live in.

Philosophy doesn’t stop with technology—it shapes how we navigate society. “Aesthetics” challenges our views on beauty and art, pushing the boundaries of creativity. “Applied Ethics” and “ Meta-Ethics” make us think deeply about right and wrong, influencing everything from environmental policy to medical practices. As issues like climate change, bioethics, and social justice become more pressing,
“Normative Ethics“ helps us set moral guidelines for navigating these challenges. And with ongoing debates about identity and equality, the “ Philosophy of Gender,
Race, and Sexuality ” continues to play a crucial role in how we understand ourselves and the world around us. “ Social and Political Philosophy ”, meanwhile, remains at the heart of conversations about justice, governance, and human rights,
shaping the very laws and policies that govern modern societies.

As World Philosophy Day approaches, we have a golden opportunity to celebrate and reinvigorate this ancient art of deep thinking. It’s not just about dusty old books and forgotten names—it’s about embracing philosophy as a way to unlock the mysteries of our rapidly changing world. Whether we’re talking about AI ethics, the future of democracy, or even space exploration, philosophy provides the framework
to critically analyze and navigate these complex challenges. This year, let’s not only honor the past but also reignite our curiosity and passion for philosophical inquiry. In a time when technology seems to have all the answers, perhaps it’s time to start
asking better questions. After all, the next big revolution might just come from the ancient art of thinking deeply.

And here’s one final question to leave you with, a mystery that has puzzled thinkers for centuries and still challenges us today: “ What is consciousness? ” Where does it
come from, and how does it fit into the material world? We’ve built machines that can process information faster than humans ever could, but can a machine ever truly be "conscious"? Or is consciousness something far beyond the reach of science? The answer remains elusive—but maybe, just maybe, the key to unlocking it lies in the
very philosophy we celebrate today.

The saga of men is an exciting adventure, transforming from rugged cavemen hunting mammoths to the diverse individuals we see today. Picture them—spears in hand, gathered around the fire to much evolved and multifaceted men of today has turned our heads. This journey has its fair share of triumphs and stumbles. So, on this International Men’s Day, let’s celebrate this amazing evolution—a lively story of growth and change, showing what it really means to be a man in our ever-changing world!

Once upon a time, in the age of hunting and gathering, men and women were equals in their quest for survival. Picture this: men, with their spears, prowling the forests for game, while women gathered nuts, berries, and herbs, tending to the little ones. It was a true partnership, where teamwork ruled. However, with agriculture’s rise, men seized control of land and resources, stepping into dominant roles while women were pushed into domestic duties. Thus began an era where men led and women followed.

The Industrial Revolution saw men trade fields for factories, shouldering the burden of providing for their families. Society puts immense pressure on men to be the breadwinners, defining their worth by their ability to work. A man was expected to be tough, unyielding, and always in control.

But as the world shifted into the post-industrial age, men’s traditional roles were challenged. Women broke free from the domestic sphere and jumped into the workforce, prompting men to rethink their identities. Men were no longer just providers, they were now expected to be partners, fathers, and emotionally available.

Today, in our globalized world, men are still evolving. The roles they once played - hunter, protector, provider have been rewritten, but the pressure remains. Men are doing better in emotional and nurturing roles, becoming more present as fathers and partners. They’re also increasingly vocal about mental health and vulnerability, breaking old stereotypes. But the struggle is far from over. Historically men’s roles were clear: protect and provide. Today, success is more complex, involving not just work but emotional strength, social responsibility, and active involvement at home.

As we celebrate International Men’s Day, we recognize the strides men have made. They are more engaged, more emotionally aware, and more open than ever before. But it’s also a day to reflect on the challenges they still face. Men are still pressured to perform, to be strong, and to "have it all," often without the support they need.

So, here’s to men those who have grown, those who are still growing, and those who feel uncertain about their place in this changing world. May the future bring them balance, fulfillment, and the freedom to be both strong and vulnerable. Happy International Men’s Day. Your revolution is ongoing, and the world is watching. But remember, there’s still work to be done, and together, we can navigate this journey into a brighter future.

Ever wish your diet could be as personalized as your Spotify playlist? Well, get ready—genetic testing and personalized nutrition are here to transform how you eat!
Say goodbye to cookie-cutter diets like keto that leave you feeling cranky,
carb-deprived zombies, and hello to a diet designed specifically for you. Yep, we’re talking about a meal plan that fits your DNA like a custom-made suit.

Genetic testing is like having a backstage pass to your body’s secrets. It tells you how you process carbs, fats, and proteins, giving you the ultimate cheat sheet to fuel yourself properly. What’s even more exciting is that parents can now use this technology for their kids too, ensuring that their little ones get the right nutrients while
avoiding food sensitivities or allergies. By adopting this approach, parents can rest easy, knowing they’re not just guessing based on their child’s likes and dislikes.

Imagine a 10-year-old girl undergoing genetic testing to discover the best nutrition plan for her, setting her up for a lifetime of health and wellness. Personalized nutrition isn’t just about fixing what’s wrong; it’s about preventing future problems and
optimizing health early on.

Here’s the kicker: it’s not just about losing weight; it’s about avoiding the dangerous side effects of diets that don’t suit you. Some folks, unaware of their genetic quirks, have suffered severe consequences from extreme dieting—even life-threatening ones. Personalized nutrition ensures you're not just guessing when it comes to your
health.

Imagine this: You might find out you have a slower metabolism for fats, meaning that trendy high-fat diets could be doing more harm than good. Or maybe you process carbs like a pro so that low-carb diet you’ve been suffering through? Totally
unnecessary!

And for parents? Smart tracking apps can monitor your child’s food intake and give real-time recommendations, ensuring their diet stays balanced and nutrient-rich. Flexible meal planning becomes a breeze when you know exactly what your child’s body needs, helping you avoid guesswork when it comes to potential issues like lactose intolerance.

Why waste time experimenting with diets that feel like punishment? You deserve a plan that celebrates who you are, right down to your genes. Get your DNA tested, tailor your diet, and say hello to a healthier, happier you—and your family!

As autumn paints the skies in rich hues and the air fills with a festive buzz, Diwali, the grand festival of lights, arrives to illuminate homes, hearts, and hopes.
The festival of Diwali, cherished as the Festival of Lights, is more than just a holiday. For millions, it is a time of joy, hope, and heartfelt tradition, where family, friends, and communities gather to honor the victory of light over darkness. But as years have passed, the essence of Diwali seems to be evolving, raising the question: are we still celebrating Diwali for what it truly is, or are we losing its meaning in the rush for new clothes and grand displays?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗶: 𝗔 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆

Diwali is rooted in a powerful story of courage and compassion. According to Hindu mythology, Diwali celebrates Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya after a long, arduous journey and his ultimate victory over the demon king Ravana. To welcome him home, the people lit thousands of oil lamps, or “diyas”, a symbolic act of overcoming darkness with light. For centuries, this story has been retold as a reminder that no matter the challenges, good always prevails, and every hardship we endure will ultimately lead to light.

Yet, Diwali is not only tied to this tale. For many, it also celebrates the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity, who is believed to visit homes on Diwali night, blessing them with abundance. Additionally, in certain parts of India, Diwali marks the end of the harvest season, symbolizing gratitude for nature’s bounty and hope for future abundance. These legends remind us that Diwali is not just a festival but a symbol of joy, devotion, and hope.

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗶 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁

Historically, Diwali was celebrated in simplicity. Families would clean their homes, light earthen lamps, create colorful “rangoli” patterns, and prepare sweets. Diwali’s purpose was deeply personal: people reflected on the past year expressed gratitude and looked forward with hope. In villages and small towns, friends and neighbors would gather to share meals, exchange handmade sweets, and offer heartfelt blessings. The focus was on strengthening bonds and embracing renewal, rather than on external displays.

Children eagerly awaited the lighting of lamps, symbolizing a world lit up with positivity and warmth. It was not about grand celebrations but rather the joy of togetherness, love, and prayers for well-being.

𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗶: 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗺–

But with every passing year, Diwali seems to be caught in a wave of change. Shopping malls flood with promotions, fireworks displays get bigger and louder, and social media showcases grand Diwali parties. The meaning of Diwali, for some, has become overshadowed by consumerism and extravagance. The tradition of handmade sweets is often replaced with store-bought treats, and diyas are swapped for electric lights. Instead of reflecting on values like compassion, humility, and thankfulness, some focus on luxury shopping, fueling a cycle of spending and waste.

The most obvious shift has been the surge in firecracker use, which, while beautiful, has severe environmental impacts. In some cities, the air becomes very dirty after Diwali, and the smog can stay for days. This pollution makes it hard for children, older people, and anyone with breathing problems to be outside. We have to ask ourselves, “Is this what Diwali is meant to be?” The festival’s joy should bring harmony, not harm, to our surroundings. By losing sight of the true meaning of Diwali, we risk turning this sacred festival into just another opportunity for consumption, missing the very lessons it teaches.

𝗗𝗶𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗶’𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁

Beyond materialism, Diwali offers us a moment to pause and look within. The light of a diya is more than just a physical glow—it represents the light of knowledge, empathy, and kindness within us. Diwali reminds us to leave behind our grudges, forgive one another, and start anew. It is a time to reconnect, not only with family but also with the values that make us feel whole. Real Diwali is when we light the inner lamp, when we find peace, and spread love that extends beyond our own home.

Critics often argue that many of us have lost touch with the real purpose of Diwali, but the beauty of the festival lies in its ability to invite reflection. It encourages us to think beyond shopping and fireworks, and to give to those less fortunate, to cook traditional meals together, to share memories, and most importantly, to embrace gratitude. That’s the Diwali that feels real, the Diwali our ancestors celebrated with little more than a diya, a meal, and each other.

𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗶’𝘀 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

Diwali doesn’t have to be about grand gestures. Sometimes, the simplest celebrations are the most profound. Imagine a Diwali with fewer fireworks but more laughter, less focus on new clothes but more on sharing meals and making sweets together. This isn’t just a festival; it’s an opportunity to touch each other’s lives in meaningful ways, to show that joy can be found in simplicity.

Let us honor Diwali’s past by celebrating its true spirit—welcoming light into our hearts, sharing joy with those around us, and being mindful of the impact we leave behind. This Diwali, may we all pause to remember that it’s not the biggest display that matters but the warmth and love we share. And maybe, just maybe, that’s the kind of celebration that will make Diwali truly shine.

In recent months, Bangladesh has been sweating under more than just the summer heat—an escalating electricity crisis has gripped the nation, causing daily power outages that leave homes baking, factories slowing down, and wallets shrinking. Businesses are forced to pause for hours, with production lines coming to a standstill, and jobs hanging by a thread. Amidst all this, a surprising culprit has silently taken over the streets: the electric rickshaw, or E-Rickshaw.

Lovingly called the “Deshi Tesla” by fans, these rickshaws might be a quick fix for beating Dhaka’s traffic jams, but they’re wreaking havoc on the nation’s power grid. They consume electricity like there’s no limit, leaving the rest of
the country in darkness. Worse still, their low-quality braking systems have turned highways into danger zones, with accidents piling up as these underpowered vehicles weave through traffic. These E-Rickshaws, designed
for short urban commutes, are ill-equipped to handle the challenges of highway travel, putting lives at risk every day.

And if that’s not enough, there’s the questionable way they get powered up. Many rickshaw operators are illegally tapping into electricity poles, adding more strain on the power grid, which contributes to the cycle of load shedding and sleepless nights. It’s a reckless game—one that could easily spark electrical fires, adding yet another layer of danger to an already fragile situation.

The result? Rolling blackouts that last hours, families tossing and turning in the dark, unable to sleep, and Gen Z, stuck without their precious Wi-Fi, staring at the ceiling and wondering: “Is this really worth it? Should we let
these E-Rickshaws rule the road, or should we fight for a future where we can sleep peacefully at night?”

For years, the government has tried to ban these E-Rickshaws, but drivers continue to protest, fighting for their livelihoods. These drivers rely on their rickshaws to support their families, and the solution isn't as simple as pulling them off the streets. This is where Gen Z comes in. If any generation can bring real change, it’s them. After all, they’ve done it before. In the July Revolution, they took control of the streets and reshaped the traffic system after August
5th. Now, they have the chance to step up again—not just to get these illegal vehicles off the road but to also advocate for justice for the drivers who depend on them.

Gen Z can lead the revolution once more, not only by pushing for stricter enforcement of the E-Rickshaw ban but also by demanding that the government
provide better alternatives for these drivers. Retraining programs, job opportunities, and sustainable transportation solutions could be the key to solving both the electricity crisis and the livelihood struggles of those affected.

At the end of the day, it’s about finding the right balance. We need to ask: Do we want to continue riding into darkness with these dangerous E-Rickshaws, or do we want to unplug them and secure a brighter future?

Gen Z, the choice is yours. You’ve already shown the nation what you can do when you unite for a cause. The electricity crisis is just another challenge waiting for your leadership. Stand up, raise awareness, and demand change. Just like you brought justice during the July Revolution, you can take charge once again. Unplug the illegal rides, and let’s restore power to the nation—both literally and figuratively!
