The GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are any organisms including animals and plants having a modified genetic material such as DNA. These modifications are done according to an artificial approach. Remember, these modified are never expected in nature. This technology is also famous as "Modern Biotechnology." According to some experts, it would be better to call GMO technology as Gene Technology as it involves alteration in genetic materials. Use of this modern technology provides scientists a chance to improve any animal or plant. This improvement requires combination of desires features. For example, we humans desire to have cows giving more milk by consuming less fodder.

Why GM Foods are produced? It is a basic question. These foods are produced to benefit either the producer or end consumer. Producing a high-quality food product with less expense is a desirable factor. Genetic engineering allows the agriculturists to develop such foods such as fruits, vegetables and more. Initially, the GM food producers develop seeds and distribute these seeds in markets. They market or promote the GM seeds so producers (farmers) will accept these innovative seeds. The only aim to bring these seeds to the market is to create direct benefits for the farmers.

On the other hand, the GM foods are also attractive for the plant protection experts. There are hundreds of insect pests, diseases and infections damaging the animals and plants. Foods obtained from the damaged or infected organisms remain in low quality. These foods also fail to attract the buyers. This is a direct loss for farmers. Plant protection techniques such as pesticides or other chemicals are applied to kill the pests and harmful germs. However, these applications are dangerous for the consumers and environment. The GM crops and animals will come with modified resistance. This resistance will keep them safe from different damages so the final product will be of smart appearance and high quality.

Assessment of GM foods is necessary to evaluate different factors. Safe consumption is the first priority. Genetic modification seems beneficial but it may be dangerous for the users. During the process of gene modification, there are chances of getting undesired medications. Altering the gene sequence to achieve the desired feature may have impact on other genes. These undesired modifications could be positive as well as negative. National Food Authorities are responsible for the checking or assessment of GM foods.

What is the process of safety assessment? Normally, the experts focus on different factors including direct health effects, allergic reactions, any components containing toxic effects, the stability of altered genes, nutritional value of GM foods and any unwanted impacts of gene insertion.

Is there any health concern? Introduction of GM foods aims for the benefits of humans. However, it is not a natural thing that's why scientists are worried about the negative consequences. For example, scientists believe that changing genetic makeup of foods may change the same in consumers. This could lead to allergic reactions as well as genetic transformation and out-crossing.

What types of GM foods are available in the markets? You can find different types of GM foods. Plant-based foods such as fruits and vegetables are available with high nutrition. On the other hand, these are also available with pesticide or herbicide free status. All these things are interesting for the consumers as they want to consume safe foods.

In the 1950s and 60s, the Futurists were saying that there will be flying cars, robots and other technologies in the early 2000s. Instead, we are using Smartphone, Live Streaming and other Social Networks in 2019. Today, futurists are saying that there will be impressive technologies that might change the world.

Most of the famous companies, manufacturers and brands are frequently using automation. Nowadays, the idea of artificial intelligence is also getting recognition. Social media networks are great example of artificial intelligence. Scientists are also working to make artificial intelligence systems to detect the fraud and hacking activities online. Synapse is a famous company allowing the users to contribute in automation and learning models. This will definitely change the artificial intelligence economy in business sectors.

Have you watched movies having superheroes? These superheroes come with modern technologies or attributes such as flight, X-Ray Vision, special strength and night vision. Is it possible to have these features in real? Scientists are trying hard to improve human body features and attributes. Nowadays, they are working on superpowers but in a scientific way. Introduction of Nanoparticles is a great achievement in the field of science. Researchers are going to create improved version of Nanoparticles for the betterment of mankind.

According to the recent reports (2019), a group of researchers is looking forward to bring amazing proposals at the upcoming American Chemical Society (ACS) in the National Meeting and Exposition. "There are only visible lights whenever we see the universe. This is amazing as it brings the attention towards new horizons," says Gang Han (PhD). Gang is a principal investigator working on the Nanoparticles. He also believes that adding new improvements such as Near-Infrared Vision will give us more power to see the universe in a new way. This technology may enable humans to study astronomy with the naked eye or have improved night vision without using modern tools.

Human eyes can detect the visible light having a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm (nanometers). Use of Near-Infrared Vision may bring these limits to 750 nm to 1.4 micrometers. Just like thermal imaging cameras providing us night vision, the human eye will be able to see in the dark. However, the night vision tools or devices are inconvenient and bulky. This is why researchers are working on modern Nanoparticles to bring further convenience in this matter. "Injecting the NIR Vision with a modern technology known as UCNPs (Upconversion Nanoparticles) will give positive impacts," they added. This technology uses rare elements such as Ytterbium and Erbium. These elements can convert low energy photons into a much higher energy green light. This green light becomes visible for mammal eyes.

Is there any study published worldwide? Yes, there are several research studies available for the readers. A year ago, a team of researchers from Massachusetts Medical School published a study showing positive outcomes of UCNPs. They injected the technology in the eyes of a mouse and monitored the activities. The results were highly promising as the mouse was able to keep the injected gene and transform the NIR Light.

On the other hand, the mouse was also able to find survival routes in a test. Researcher made a Y-shaped tube having one opening in water while second at the surface of table. They trained the mouse to swim in water. This training was given so the mouse will move towards the visible light across the water. However, they were amazed when mouse left the water route by following an invisible light in the other part of tube. This light was invisible to other mice having no UCNPs injected.

A group of scientists is now planning to inject this UCNP in the man's best friend, a dog. This project aims to deliver dogs NIR light vision so they can see in the dark. Let's see the results of this study. The experts will become able to develop Nanoparticles that will give humans night vision after seeing the results of experiments on dogs. It means that humans are close to get superpowers in the future.

5G which is a Fifth Generation cellular technology is now available for use. This is an interesting leap in the field of wireless devices. This high-speed internet technology will enable the users to stream and download without any problem. It will also improve the data sending and receiving tasks.

5G technology proposes best data rates (10 to 100 times) faster than the current 4G networks. Now users will see downloading in Gigabits per second. Forget the Megabits per second because 5G will completely change your experience.

On the other hand, introduction of 5G technology will make it possible for different applications, software and hardware to work. There are several technologies unable to perform according to expectation. However, these technologies will do the best job in fifth generation networking. For example, the transformation of downloading from megabits to gigabits is a special attribute for users. Now you will download the movies, clips and more within a few seconds. On the other hand, 5G is also going to change the automation and artificial intelligence sector forever. The virtual technology applications will also become frequent in this network.

Besides data rates, the emerging technologies are going to have a big support in presence of 5G. Users who expect betterment in the Smartphone, Laptop and other devices will see the promising results. As a matter of fact, this new fifth generation networking will enable the businessmen, organizations and others to perform the technology based tasks within one-thousandth part of a second. IT sector will also get new reforms. The older technologies, infrastructures and networks will definitely require upgrade in future. Remember, 5G is not available in all the countries. There are a few countries using this modern technology at public level. Actually, implementation of this technology requires installation of new infrastructure and servers. More time is also needed to complete the prerequisites.

Is 5G Dangerous for us?

No doubt, technologies are launched for the benefits of mankind but there are some side effects too. It is necessary to focus on the side effects. The 5G technology is going to transform the IT sector completely. Experts are saying that replacing the old technologies will increase the cost because of the new installations and infrastructures. This would be the first thing most economists think about after seeing 5G in the fields.

On the other hand, the health effects are also prominent. The new technology is expected to use radiations. Light or energy moving with great speed in the space will definitely have negative impacts on the nature. Ionizing radiations are dangerous for the human skin as well as chemical bonds inside the body. This radiation can break the chemical bonds damaging the DNA and skin cells. A team of researchers proposed that implementation of new 5G technology will change the brain cells. This is going to make things more complicated. Brain tumors will become more common.

On the other hand, increased ionizing and non-ionizing radiations will also increase the heat in atmosphere. This will lead to global warming which is already a huge issue for mankind. According to experts, 5G technology is beneficial as it will transform the economy, industry and users. However, it is also expected to make certain damages. There is a need to focus on the precautionary measures to avoid negative impacts.
