The thing, what probably makes national identity


Kimmo Huosionmaa

Every nation has their way to behave, and we know the most of those sometimes iconic ways to react in the social situation. And sometimes we might think, "why some Italian, Finnish or Irish behave like that?". We see the "national way of behavior" in the traffic lights every day, and we might sometimes think, why some nation behaves a little bit different way that we behave, and what is the origin of that behave, where person scream and yell together in the traffic light.

But when we are thinking about the origin of those things the reason for that might be the thing, what is called "social enriching". The reason for social enriching is, of course, similar to genetic enriching and it's similar to the thing, what is similar in normal working life. We, humans, are individuals, who want to be with similar persons as we are, and this is the reason why ancient people made groups and tribes, and in fact, the nations and states are supertribes.

Nationalism is one way to behave in the groups, and there are many traditions in the nation for making people like together. Our parties and traditions are part of our national identity. National identity has roots in the tribes and village communities. Thinking about our natural personality, and the need to be with similar persons as we are in the same times good and bad thing. Good is that if we like to be together everything is easy, but if we are thinking this thing in the point of view of the working life, we might need to think opposite way than our nature says.

The nationalism is not always a problem, but the militarization is, and the last thing is almost every time connected with nationalistic thoughts. And in the eyes of many people, the most visible thing in nationalism are the lines of the tanks and military persons. The censorship and another kind of political way to make the work of the opposition difficult is always connected with nationalism.

And that might be a very bad mistake because everybody needs sometimes advisors. Sometimes we are all making mistakes and this is the reason, why the governments and high-councils of the big firms are manned with professionals, who have very big salaries because the decisions need very strong professionals and knowledge for supporting them. They need professionals, who know the law and of course, the technology is very important to handle, if there is a technical product for marketing. Or if the product is the service-oriented application, must those persons handle the technologies and other vital skills for making that service comfortable.

In real life, there is no perfect person exists, and that means there must find the people, who say something against us. We cannot be objective every time when we are making decisions. When people are thinking, that some decision is best, there might be found many errors. And this is why there is opposition in politics. Political leaders need to see also the opposite opinions, that they can see every part of some law. Those things are always very influential, and that's why there must always make good analyses when political leaders are making their decisions. This is, why politicians need opponents for talking about the legislation because if the law has many holes, there would be more problems than benefits about new orders, what gives rules for the all nation.

The new 3D printers are coin-size systems.

"The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to repair a wobbly bicycle wheel or a component for a critical medical operation. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, RLE" (Scitech, Tiny Titan: MIT’s Revolutionary Coin-Sized 3D Printer Fits in Your Pocket) Researchers created a 3D printer that is coin-size. That kind of printer can create things like microchips. But it's possible. Those tiny 3D printers can also work in extremely large-size projects. In simplest models, the 3D printers are positioned on tracks. The 3D printer itself is the tool, that can be part of the modular production systems.  There are visions of high-temperature metal printers installed on the gantry cranes. That makes those crane printers that can make even ship-size things. The crane that the printer controls can move back and forth and the printer can move horizontally. This kind of thing can turn the crane into a high-temperature 3D printer, that

Quantum computers and ultra-fast photonic microchips can danger even the most secure communication.

"Quantum computers could pose a major security risk to current communication systems in 12-15 years with their exponentially greater speed and code-breaking ability. (ScitechDaily, Today’s Most-Secure Communications Threatened by Future Quantum Computers) Quantum computers can break entire binary cryptography. And that makes all communication unsecured. That is one of the greatest threats in quantum computing. And this brings the arms race to the quantum age. The quantum computer can create codes that any binary computer can break. But the quantum computer can also break old-fashioned codes. And that makes it an ultimate weapon and sabotage tool.   Quantum computers can change the measurements of the ammunition in factories by changing the system calibration. Or it can delete databases from the opponent's computer systems. This thing can delete all SIM cards from mobile telephones. In peacetime, the hackers that operate using quantum systems can steal the names of the counter-

Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.

  "ZEROe teams powered on the iron pod, the future hydrogen-propulsion system designed for Airbus’ electric concept aircraft." (Intersting Engineering, Airbus's ZEROe: First engine fuel cell powers up for hydrogen flight) Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.  Airbus Zero is a testbed for fuel cells that are used in commercial aircraft. The problem with aircraft is always noise and pollution. If the aircraft uses electric engines. That decreases noise levels and cleans the air, especially around airfields. Lightweight solar panels that can be installed on the wings and body of aircraft can give electricity to electric engines. And they can extend an aircraft's operational range.   The thing that makes this kind of system interesting is that the "flying cars" or cheap VTOL aircraft can use them as a power source. The hydrogen power cells can give energy to electric aircraft at night time. And that makes them m
