Impact of Technology

Think of the days when there were no computers and no modern means of transport. Human life was highly restricted due to the unavailability of technological applications. Now we have the world is at our fingertips.

Think of the days when there were no online messengers, no emails and no cell phones. Indeed cellular technology made it possible for us to communicate over wireless media. Web communication facilities have worked wonders in speeding long-distance communication. On the other hand, they have deprived mankind of the warmth of personal contact. Emails replaced handwritten letters and communication lost its personal touch. With the means of communication so easily accessible, that magic in waiting to reach someone and the excitement that followed have vanished.

Moreover, we have become excessively dependent on technology. Is so much of dependency good? Is it right to rely on machines to such an extent? Is it right to depend on computers rather than relying on human intellect? Computer technology and robotics are trying to substitute for human intellect. With the fast advancing technology, we have started harnessing artificial intelligence in many fields. Where is the digital divide going to take us? How is our 'tomorrow' going to be?

The impact of technology on society is deep. It is both positive and negative. Technology has largely influenced every aspect of living. With the developments in technology, we may be able to enjoy all the pricey luxuries in life but at the cost of losing its priceless joys.

Understanding Native Android Application

Understanding a native code and the NDK

Android uses the Dalvik virtual machine to run apps. It interacts with device-agnostic, cross platform commands into instructions. An application code is written in Java or other language that is translated into Java. Machine specific details are not handled by the code; instead, the Dalvik virtual machine manages various details such as the processor, graphics, memory, etc.

In most of the cases, the speed and memory overhead is a valuable exchange. In some cases, developers need greatest performance. In both conditions, the Native Development Kit lets developers embed C and C++ components in the app. It allows developers bringing most performance-intensive pieces close to the hardware. But, using this technology makes the entire process a little complicated.

When should Android developers use native code?

Using a particular technology, such as programming language and tools for Android application development mostly depends on the skills of developers. But developer's familiarity with C or C++ cannot be merely a reason to use the NDK. Unless, development team is proficient to handle this technology, they should not use it.

Many times, using native code technology can be beneficial. This method is useful in processing data or computing physics and graphics for games. Other good reasons include access to existing native libraries and high-level code.
