Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) can currently enable paralyzed patients to control robotic limbs using thoughts alone.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Invasive BCIs (like Neuralink, Synchron) have enabled paralyzed individuals to control cursors, robotic arms, and communicate via thought in clinical trials. Non-invasive BCIs (EEG) offer limited control. Challenges: signal resolution, surgical risks, and long-term stability. Represents frontier of neurotechnology and assistive devices.
Which technology enables visually impaired users to interact with smartphones using voice commands?
- OCR
- Screen Reader
- Speech Synthesis
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Accessibility features combine: Screen Readers (TalkBack, VoiceOver) narrate UI elements, OCR converts images to speech, and Speech Synthesis provides audio feedback. Integrated into Android/iOS for inclusive digital access. Critical for digital inclusion and assistive technology questions under Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act.
The satellite-based system for early warning of cyclones and floods in India is operated by ________.
Answer: IMD / ISRO
IMD (India Meteorological Department) uses INSAT/GSAT satellites, Doppler weather radars, and numerical models for cyclone tracking and flood forecasting. ISRO provides satellite data and infrastructure. Early warnings enable evacuation and disaster preparedness, saving lives and property. Critical for disaster management questions.
India is among the top three countries in terms of 5G network deployment speed as of 2026.
- True
- False
Answer: True
India achieved one of the world's fastest 5G rollouts, covering 300+ cities within 18 months of spectrum auction (2022-2024). Driven by competitive telecom operators, government policy support, and indigenous technology development. Important for telecom infrastructure and digital India questions.
Which Indian mission successfully demonstrated in-orbit docking technology in 2024?
- Gaganyaan-1
- SPADEX
- Aditya-L2
- NISAR
Answer: SPADEX
SPADEX (Space Docking Experiment) successfully demonstrated autonomous rendezvous and docking of two spacecraft in Earth orbit in 2024. Critical technology for future space station modules, satellite servicing, and human spaceflight. Represents India's advancement in complex space operations. Important for ISRO current affairs questions.
The smallest unit of data in a computer that can have a value of 0 or 1 is called a ________.
Answer: bit
Bit (binary digit) is the smallest unit of data in computing, representing either 0 or 1. Eight bits make one byte. All digital information - text, images, audio, video - is ultimately stored and processed as sequences of bits.
HTTP is a secure protocol for transmitting sensitive data like passwords and credit card information.
- True
- False
Answer: False
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) transmits data in plaintext, making it insecure for sensitive information. HTTPS (HTTP Secure) uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect data in transit. Always use HTTPS for login pages, payments, and personal data.
