Facts about Google Career Courses that will ‘Dilute’ University Degree

Google introduces new ‘career certificate’ courses that will enable participants to wade into high-paying jobs without necessarily earning a university degree. Most of the courses will take about six months to complete, unlike most degree programs which take up to around four years to complete.
High education would likely be ‘disrupted’ with Google’s program in four disciplines namely: user experience (UX) design, data analytics, project manager and or IT support professional. 
Google explores effective means to give learners everything they require to get employed in their chosen fields at a cost of $39 per month. The total cost will be up to around $240 or lower, depending with how fast one finishes each course.
Upon completion, graduates can share their resume directly with employers such as Verizon, Walmart, Accenture, Deloitte, Bayer and Anthem among others. Google proclaimed that it will open apprenticeship program to aid certificate holders to gain more skills and hire hundreds of apprentices in coming years.
Kent Walker, a senior vice president of global affairs at Google, was quoted by Inc. Magazine, saying that: “We will consider our new career certificates as the equivalent of a four-year degree for related roles.”
The certificate that will be offered by the tech giant will be easily recognized by most companies and industries across the globe because Google is a household name. The programme will be cost-effective. Other employers might emulate Google by designing job training strategies rather than hiring graduates who are inept in industrial skills.
The online certificate course could help employers to rapidly expand their expertise and unraveling hidden talents from diverse localities. Google states that its certificate program is “product agnostic and tailored to help individuals land jobs at any company, across any sector.”
Google is already offering online courses in collaboration with Coursera. Some of the best Google courses are Data Engineering with Google Cloud, Google Cloud Platform and Android Basics. The giant search engine Company also offers a free course dubbed Fundamentals of Digital Marketing.

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

Why President Ruto risks being impeached

President William Ruto is treading a dangerous political path. His recent allegations over bribery in parliament might hound him out of office. The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
