10 year Challenge

|10-year Challenge

The 10-year challenge is a trending challenge amongst the youth and celebrity. It has become a trend on Instagram and Facebook. This trending challenge is hopefully not as dangerous as the famous "Blue Whale Challenge". But the question arises:-
  • What does this challenge actually means?
  • Who gave this challenge?
  • What is this challenge is for?


Secret Behind 10-year challenge

Here we are revealing the secret behind the 10-year challenge.

The #10YearChallenge was fun and memes until last week when a tweet moved thousands of people to worry:
"Are we unknowingly helping giant corporations to improve their algorithms for biometric identification and age progression?"
The #10YearChallenge gained widespread traction on social media this month. It calls for posting two photos of yourself side by side one from today and one from a decade ago - to show how you have changed. People are participating mostly on Facebook and Instagram, which is owned by Facebook.
Some made jokes, paid tribute to old hairstyles or drew attention to issue global warming. Celebrities posted glamour shots that showed negligible changes from one decade to next.

But one post went viral without featuring any side-by-side photos at all. It was written by Kate O'Neil,(Kate O'Neil) the author of the book 

"Tech Humanist: How You Can Make Technology Better For Business and Better for Humans." 
"Me 10-years ago probably would have played along with profile picture aging meme going around Facebook and Instagram. Me now: ponders how all this data could be mined to train facial recognition algorithms on age progression and age recognition," she tweeted last week.
Her words hit the nerve. People responded with concerns about whether they were helping the tech giants get better at identifying people. O'Neill's post got more than 10,000 re-tweets and more than 20,000 likes.
Lauren A Rhue, an assistant professor of information systems and analytics at the Wake Forest School of Business, said the #10YearChallenge could conceivably provide a relatively clean data set for a company that wanted to work on age-progression technology.
"The risk is giving up any type of biometric data to a company is that there's not enough transparency, not only about how the data is currently being used, but also the future uses for it," she said.
Facebook has responded to concerns about photo and privacy in the past. The company said it does not intend to help strangers identify you, and has repeatedly pointed out that users can disable face recognition in their personal settings. As for the 10-year challenge, Facebook said it's just a fun trend."The 10-year challenge is a user-generated meme that started on its own, without our involvement," it said on Twitter.

सातवें आसमान पर चलना, चल सितारों के जाल पर चलना (Saatvein aasmaan per chalna | Kumar Vishwas | Jashn e rekhta | Wo shayar Badnaam)

Saatvein aasmaan per chalna | Kumar Vishwas | Jashn e rekhta | Wo shayar Badnaam गीत सुनिए, आज पहली बार गा रहा हूं, आपको अच्छा लगा तो ही पूरी दुनिया में गाऊंगा।  सातवें आसमान पर चलना, चल सितारों के जाल पर चलना दिल बिना देवता की काशी है (काशी में शिव हटा दो तो केवल शव रह जाता है), जिसमें हर घाट पर उदासी है  कुछ है चटका हुआ सा मुझमें भी, तू भी कितने जन्म से प्यासी है मेरे अश्कों के ताल पर चलना, सातवें आसमान पर चलना...  जब किसी के आंगन में पुरुषार्थ, विजय, सत्ता, शक्ति, धन, ऐश्वर्य और सामर्थ्य उतारता है, तो घर में बेटे को भेजता है, और जब त्याग, तपस्या, माया, ममता, प्रेम उतराता है तो बेटियों को उतारता है, सुनिए...  यूं रिवायत की आग में जलकर, बंदिशों वाले गांव में पलकर  तूने अनगिनत सितम उठाए हैं, रस्मों-दुनिया की राह पर चलकर  छोड़ अब दिल की चाल पर चलना, सातवें आसमान पर चलना...  तो जानेमन मैं तेरे नाम ये भोपाल लिखता हूं...

लोग कहते हैं मुझे प्यार सिखाना आये, कुमार विश्वास

लोग कहते हैं मुझे प्यार सिखाना आये, मैं जो गा दूँ तो वही सारा ज़माना गाये, फिर भी एक गीत है जो प्राणों में चुपचाप पड़ा, कई जन्मों से मेरे होंठो पे आना चाहे; आखिरी गीत वही मुझसे गवा दे सावन, इश्क बुझता है इसे कुछ तो हवा दे सावन; उसके पैर की एक पायल … उसके पैर की एक पायल ने ही सबको पागल बना रखा है खुदा का शुक्र है कि उसने दोनों पैरों में पायल नही पहनी उनकी ख़ैरो-ख़बर नहीं मिलती / कुमार विश्वास उनकी ख़ैरो-ख़बर नहीं मिलती हमको ही ख़ासकर नहीं मिलती शायरी को नज़र नहीं मिलती मुझको तू ही अगर नहीं मिलती रूह में, दिल में, जिस्म में दुनिया ढूंढता हूँ मगर नहीं मिलती लोग कहते हैं रूह बिकती है मैं जहाँ हूँ उधर नहीं मिलती " नहीं हम में कोई अनबन नहीं है , बस इतना है कि अब वो मन नही है ! मैं अपने आप को सुलझा रहा हूँ , तुम्हें लेकर कोई उलझन नहीं है...!"
