First post of this blog was in December 2011. First few post of this blog contained links to interesting websites pertaining to Digital Image Processing (DIP). The blog was created to mimic an online bookmark facility. Next, the online bookmark was thrown open to the public. This move was in consonance with the tradition of science. The growth of science can be attributed to two reasons. Objective reporting backed by sufficient data and timely dissemination of knowledge (inference of the experiments) to the scientific community. Because of this, hypothesis were tested thoroughly and hypothesis which passed the test made into theory and others were summarily rejected. This feature improved the credibility of science and became a 'brand' per se.
In early days of the blog, finding an interesting website and posting it on blog was highly exciting. Over a period of time excitement after an upload started dwindling. To regain the excitement, articles on latest topics were written and uploaded in the blog. Article titled 'Super Hi-vision' which was written on July 2012 was the first article in this blog. It attracted more visitors and created a sense of accomplishment in me. Writing an article required undivided attention and few hours of time. So, weekend were sacrificed for writing and uploading an article. As usual due to passage of time 'excitement' level started dwindling. In the year 2014 on wards I pushed myself to write thousand worded abstract articles.
I stumbled upon the interrelationship between technology and society. The wide gap created between technology and society by the present pedagogy made me really sick. I felt it is my duty to propagate the idea of 'holistic approach' rather than 'parochial approach' followed by present educational system. Few Socio-Technical (ST) articles were written and uploaded. I regained the sense of 'high' after writing the article. But amount of effort and time required was very high. So, number of post per year was reduced to six from prevailing 12. Writing ST articles brought few problems. First, weekends were lost. Second, one cannot set hard deadline to get an idea. It has to emerge on its' own. Forcing ourselves will be counter productive and create a mental depression. This phenomenon is common among the artists and writers. Number of visitors to ST articles are relatively low. Writing ST articles under the blog titled 'A to Z Digital Image Processing' does not augur well. Setting aside the above stated problems, If I continue to write then I will end up as a masochist (a person who likes to inflict himself or herself).
Thus it is decided to go back to the roots i.e. find interesting website and upload it in the blog. You may call it as U turn. I will call it as course correction. Yes. View differs.
