There have been numerous reports suggesting a connection between radiation from mobile towers with incidence of cancer, which is a valid cause for concern. Mobile towers use non-ionizing radiation that does not pose a cancer risk, but it’s important to make doubly sure when it’s your health at stake...

It’s 2034. : When self-driving cars kill, it’s the code (and the coders) that will be put on trial.
***************************************
A drunken man walking along a sidewalk at night trips and falls directly in front of a driverless car, which strikes him square on, killing him instantly. Had a human been at the wheel, the death would have been considered an accident because the pedestrian was clearly at fault and no reasonable person could have swerved in time. But the “reasonable person” legal standard for driver negligence disappeared back in the 2020s, when the proliferation of driverless cars reduced crash rates by 90 percent. Now the standard is that of the reasonable robot.

The victim’s family sues the vehicle manufacturer on that ground, claiming that, although the car didn’t have time to brake, it could have swerved around the pedestrian, crossing the double yellow line and colliding with the empty driverless vehicle in the next lane. A reconstruction of the crash using data from the vehicle’s own sensors confirms this. The plaintiff’s attorney, deposing the car’s lead software designer, asks: “Why didn’t the car swerve?”

Today no court ever asks why a driver does anything in particular in the critical moments before a crash. The question is moot as to liability—the driver panicked, he wasn’t thinking, he acted on instinct. But when robots are doing the driving, “Why?” becomes a valid question. Human ethical standards, imperfectly codified in law, make all kinds of assumptions that engineers have not yet dared to make. The most important such assumption is that a person of good judgment will know when to disregard the letter of the law in order to honor the spirit of the law. What engineers must now do is teach the elements of good judgment to cars and other self-guided machines—that is, to robots.

*Why is Jio charging only for data and giving voice free* ?

There is a technical explanation to it.

*Jio has only 4G capability* and no 3G or 2G. Other existing operators have all the three.

The existing operators transmit voice over 2G and 3G and 4G is used only for Internet data.
But on the other hand *Jio uses a technology called VoLTE where even the voice is transmitted as data packets over the 4G network*.

Please note this is different from mobile data which is only for mobile internet - *technically this transmission of voice through 4G is called Packet switching*. Means packet switching is different from Mobile data which is only for mobile internet . This is the reason why even if one switches off mobile data in a Jio connection, calls are placed.

If your phone is not VoLTE enabled you will be able to make Calls only if you download the Jio app.

*While the Jio technology is superior and latest, a Jio user ends up using huge additional data for every voice call he makes*.

Thus in Jio one uses data for voice and Internet .....

So on Jio be prepared to consume high amounts of data and this is precisely Jio's catch....and that is why Jio charges for only data...

Another piece of interesting information.

Wow, the whole country is excited listening to news about Reliance JIO and their 4G LTE data plans. But, *before you dump your existing operator or connection* for Reliance 4G LTE, you need to understand whether there is really any benefit. Let me talk about the Rs.499/- plan as most of us may prefer that.
Reliance Jio is giving 4GB of data on the Rs.499/- Plan. The Reliance JIO uses VoLTE (Voice over LTE) Network. VoLTE stands for Voice over LTE, by which you make voice calls over the data network. So that effectively means all the outgoing and incoming calls are going to consume data from that free 4GB. So, you may think how much data may get consumed for every call.

Let’s take WhatsApp call as a benchmark. For every WhatsApp call on 4G LTE, data consumption can be about 780 KB for a minute (various sites have reported it after thorough testing). So, a user on a 4 GB monthly plan will have a total of 5,128 minutes or about 84 hours of WhatsApp calls. Now, replace the word WhatsApp with regular calls each month. *Remember that this is for both incoming and outgoing calls*. If you make or receive a call, the data meter starts ticking and you may be talking for hours thinking it is FREE but it’s not. *Reliance says “Unlimited 4G at night*” and you may again think that you can browse or talk for hours from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM. But that’s not correct, the night as per Reliance is from 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM. If you want to be awake that time to utilize the free data, Good Luck with that. I’m just talking about calls here and usage of FB, YouTube, Twitter, other apps that use Internet are not considered.

So *what about regular operators* ? These operators (Airtel, Vodaphone, Idea etc) use 4G for data and 2G or 3G for voice calls. When you make or receive a call, it does not consume regular data. On the top of it, they have 4G speeds for your browsing or WhatsApp calling. With these regular operators, you will at least be peaceful that you are not consuming data when talking on phone. *Think before switching*.

The Grass always looks Greener on the other side.👍
