Our interactions with Chitkara University are covered in Technology Connect
Congratulations on the 100th edition of the Technology Connect newsletter! I have been receiving this newsletter since Vol. 2, Issue 23. In fact, that issue highlighted the topic of 'Digital Jewelry', which I liked very much since we ourselves are working on wearable electronics. Another issue was an article on Memristor, an important fundamental component long predicted to become a reality one day. More recently an article highlighted the use of 3D printing for prosthetics applications, which is an important use of this evolving technology that fulfils a very important social need. Our own interactions with Chitkara University have been covered by the editors of Technology Connect newsletter a couple of times and it feels good to have been highlighted. Sagar Juneja, the editor and his team are doing a commendable job in bringing this newsletter out on a regular basis and keeping large numbers of readers up to date with relevant topics of significant technological importance. I wish them good luck and I look forward to reading issue number 1000!

It is an excellent solution from Chitkara University
There are so many technological advancements happening around in multiple domains but it is not possible for anybody to remain updated with all of them. An excellent solution to this problem from Chitkara University is Technology Connect. It gives an opportunity to get ourselves updated with the latest trends in technology. Like for example an article "IOT: Management and Analysis of Data" published in Technology Connect throws light on problems faced & issues to be addressed during the management and analysis of data being sent by IoT devices. Technology Connect use very easy to understand language and thus appeal to wider audience. For example article entitled "Phising - A social engineering attack" gives detailed information about this cybercrime in simplest of words. Similarly, the article "E-Waste for Water Treatment and Electricity Production - A Solution from India" gives the information that how e-waste could be reused, for example e-waste like LED, LCD glasses could be used for electrode material in MFCs (a technique used for waste water treatment).

It enhanced my knowledge in the areas that were not much familiar to me
Congratulations for the 100th Issue milestone! Being from Electronics background, I was fascinated with the terms like Machine learning, Big Data, Data Mining etc. Technology Connect has published a number of articles related to these areas and thus helped me in developing understanding about them. "Machine Learning" is one such article which explained how machine algorithms are being used by e-commerce companies. Another article "A Glance into the Future with Big Data and Super Computers" described the use of Big Data and super-computing techniques for future prediction which was very interesting to read. Hoping to read many more interesting articles of Technology Connect in future as well.

It added a spark to innovate, both in faculty as well as students
Since the release of its first article in June 2015 to the 100th issue in September 2017, Technology Connect has added a spark to innovate both in the minds of faculty and students. One article that I particularly liked was "4G mini towers on street lights, traffic lights and trees" published last year. It provided a good insight on how can the challenges of hardware complexity, installation cost and lack of availability of space for setting up towers can be overcome and the dream of making smart cities can be realized with this new technology.
