Did you observe Hysteresis phenomenon in WhatsApp ??

Hysteresis behavior implies changing of output depending on the direction of input.

We observe this phenomenon across many subjects. The below image shows the Hysteresis observed with respect to the Magnetic field.

Magnetic Hysteresis

Now, coming to the topic, if you open WhatsApp, we can observe similar behavior when we swipe through "CHATS" to "STATUS" and back.

When we swipe from CHATS to STATUS section, the chat icon will not disappear immediately when status comes and will disappear only when the chats section completely disappears ( it means the icon will be there even if we have a small part of the chats section on screen), and then we have the camera icon.

We can observe the same thing with the camera icon in the status menu when we move back to chats from status. The camera icon will be there till the status section disappear completely. But it means the icon will be there even when we enter chats, which is against the previous observation that the chat icon will be there even if we have a small part of the chats section on the screen.

It means that the icons are behaving differently depending on the direction we swipe, which comes under Hysteresis behavior...

So it's time to check on your mobile !!

Bye-bye strict timetables...! - The Bloggers League 2022

Author: Rama Subrahmanyam (ramasubrahmanyam.m@gmail.com) When we are planning for multi-tasking, we divide our time and allocate it for each task. That is a great thing, as it gives a chance for incremental growth, eventually getting compounded... Scheduling makes us punctual; sometimes forces us to be punctual if someone is counting on us, say an examination, office meeting, so on... Besides strict things, some activities should happen at planned times, like sports, gym, etc. But, we still have things, that can be done in our free time - say reading books, solving puzzles, or learning something of our passion. Should we also maintain the timetable in those cases...? Well, may not be that necessary... We get used to a task at the same time if we have a strict timetable; In a way, can also affect our peace... Suppose due to urgent work, we missed a task - We may develop a bad feeling, ...

25 and Disappointed: Survival should not mean Struggling

There are days I wish I could just leave my job. But I don’t do it. Because I need to pay my rent. I need to eat. I don’t have any other income. I am afraid that I am not alone in this. I see people who are smart and talented - doing things they don’t love. They settle. Not out of choice, but out of fear. The fear of being homeless, being hungry. They live in a world that demands payment of bills more than anything. That brings a simple, maybe naive thought: What if food and shelter were guaranteed for everyone? What if one need not be working just to survive? Is it wild to wish for these? Are these not the basic human rights… If the basic needs were covered, what could we become? Artists, teachers, thinkers, healers - they are made out of passion. People can volunteer more, care for the elderly, innovate better, or take time and get a chance to do things slower… The working class would not have to burn themselves to keep the lights on. The poor wouldn’t have to beg. What if peopl...
