Launching a Journey through the Digital Realm- Welcome to TechKelvin!

 Hello! I am Kelvin Kgarudi, an first year IT student in Eduvos Nelson Mandela Bay. Welcome to the introduction post of TechKelvin, a place where I take you into the world of Technology with my academic and personal explorations in technology.  Who is Kelvin Kgarudi? I am an student an Information Technology(BSc in Data Science), which includes machine learning and programming. I began loving IT since I was a kid, I was exposed to programming and coding at the age of 14 that was when I began growing interest in the world of information technology. I like going to hackathons, along with my fellow friends. I was also inspired by sci-fi comic book classics like 'Neuromancer' and cyberpunk landscapes of 'Transmetropolitan', and the space opera sagas of 'Saga'.  I am a problem solver and I love learning about new stuff, especially related to Technology. From programming to the latest app developments. I will share my view of how these changes can reform the future. ...

The Rise of Quantum Computing: A Glimpse into the Future

The Rise of Quantum Computing: A Glimpse into the Future   1. What is Quantum Computing? Quantum computing is a type of computation that harnesses the unique properties of quantum mechanics, which is the fundamental theory in physics that describes the nature of very small particles, such as atoms and photons.   2. How does it differ from Classical Computing? Classical computers, like the ones we use daily, process information in binary, using bits that can be either 0 or 1. Quantum computers, on the other hand, use quantum bits or "qubits." A qubit can be in a state of 0, 1, or both (a phenomenon called superposition). This allows quantum computers to process vast amounts of information simultaneously. Quantum computers operate under physical conditions, while classic computing involves digital conditions.  Quantum computers can differ from classical computers by their bits. Classic computers use bits like 0s and 1s only, while quantum computers use bits called qubits wh...

   Augmented Reality (AR) in Everyday Life: More than Just Gaming! Introduction  Previously we on quantum computing. Today we are embarking into the world of augmented reality or virtual reality. Buckle up as I am about to share my discovery on Augmented Reality. First Encounter with VR   I was introduced  into ARs at 2014 at the age of 10 when I was in grade 4. My friends took me to an mall in Potchefstroom at a gaming center called Fantasia. It was my first time using VR in Fantasia. I was in a extraterrestrial post-apocalypse virtual game where I had to combat aliens using laser guns and canons. It felt amazing, because I felt I was in the actual game and that is what makes it fun and enjoyable. Evolution of VR gadgets   Virtual reality headsets were introduced around the early 90s. It tremendously evolved after 2010, the new versions of it were introduced by Oculus which raised 2.4 million, HTC and Sony for PlayStation 4 in 2014. Google developed a...
