growing day by day but what we need to

growing day by day but what we need to remember we need to think of technology

remember we need to think of technology

remember we need to think of technology as a tool and services we should never

as a tool and services we should never

as a tool and services we should never start thinking that technology is going

start thinking that technology is going

start thinking that technology is going to rule us we will be always ahead of

to rule us we will be always ahead of

to rule us we will be always ahead of the technology means if technology has

the technology means if technology has

the technology means if technology has been developed by somebody and that

been developed by somebody and that

been developed by somebody and that somebody is no-one but the human brain

somebody is no-one but the human brain

somebody is no-one but the human brain right so if I don’t know how many of you

right so if I don’t know how many of you

right so if I don’t know how many of you know that your brain is the only

know that your brain is the only

know that your brain is the only mechanism through which real random

mechanism through which real random

mechanism through which real random number can be produced I hope all of you

number can be produced I hope all of you

number can be produced I hope all of you know

know

know this any random number which is produced

this any random number which is produced

this any random number which is produced by computer will be using some formula

by computer will be using some formula

by computer will be using some formula at the back end so it is always

at the back end so it is always

at the back end so it is always guessable it is different that normal

guessable it is different that normal

guessable it is different that normal human being might not be able to guess

human being might not be able to guess

human being might not be able to guess that number which is going to be guessed

that number which is going to be guessed

that number which is going to be guessed by the computer but if you know

by the computer but if you know

by the computer but if you know programming very very well and you know

programming very very well and you know

programming very very well and you know the formula behind that randomness of

the formula behind that randomness of

the formula behind that randomness of the random number then you can produce

the random number then you can produce

the random number then you can produce that number so that means any game which

that number so that means any game which

that number so that means any game which you play any system which is generated

you play any system which is generated

you play any system which is generated by the computer is going to be based on

by the computer is going to be based on

by the computer is going to be based on some random mechanism which is going to

some random mechanism which is going to

some random mechanism which is going to be guessed right so it is the only human

be guessed right so it is the only human

be guessed right so it is the only human brain which is real random that means if

you are telling me choose out of the

you are telling me choose out of the three colors black white and blue by no

three colors black white and blue by no

three colors black white and blue by no means you can guess what what color I am

means you can guess what what color I am

means you can guess what what color I am going to guess out of this but if you

going to guess out of this but if you

going to guess out of this but if you are using a computer for that you will

are using a computer for that you will

are using a computer for that you will be able to find out what guess at this

be able to find out what guess at this

be able to find out what guess at this particular time it will give you right

particular time it will give you right

particular time it will give you right so with this I just wind up my session

so with this I just wind up my session

so with this I just wind up my session and with a message that learn technology

and with a message that learn technology

and with a message that learn technology share technology but do not think that

share technology but do not think that

share technology but do not think that technology is the only thing in life

technology is the only thing in life

technology is the only thing in life your human Humanity is more important

your human Humanity is more important

your human Humanity is more important than using technology and using these

than using technology and using these

than using technology and using these tools right thank you very much
