An event conducted in Michigan suggested parents to not share too much information about kids on social media as it could put them at risk. A new study has found that an increasing number of parents across the globe have been posting too much information about their kids on social media and putting the little ones at risk.

The study has been conducted by researchers from the University of Michigan’s C. S. Mott Children's Hospital. The researchers found that more than 50% parents who were included in the study shared personal information of them and their children. This could help other people with wrong intentions to identify the location of a child. The study also stated that about 56% parents surveyed shared embarrassing or private information of their children.

On Sunday, a group of anti-robot protestors marched in the streets of Austin, home to the South by Southwest (SXSW) culture and tech festival, to highlight concerns about the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).

The group cited concerns about the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and held signs that read ‘Stop the Robots’and ‘Humans are the future’. The protest group included 15 to 20 undergraduates and was led by 23 year-old computer engineer Adam Mason.

Five decades back, for the first time an astronaut carried out a spacewalk. On March 18, 1965, Russian cosmonaut Alexey Leonov completed a 12-minute spacewalk.

Leonov and others who followed him wore specially designed space suits. They were tethered and had helpful gadgets to manage their movements. If tether would not have been present, the astronauts would have floated into empty space.

In that scenario, their rescue would not have been possible and death was for sure as oxygen supply ran out. It is sure that all these fears must have come into the mind of the first astronaut to conduct the spacewalk.

China has successfully completed its first 118 days of deep sea manned submersible mining in the India Ocean. It has found large deposits of precious metal and has also found different hydrothermal areas.

China’s mission named as Jiaolong has discovered new hydrothermal deep-sea fissures that emit hot water. It is considered that the findings could pave way for more research in resources of seafloor sulfide deposits that are rich in different metals.

The hydrothermal sulfides are the deposits having copper, zinc, gold and silver. They are formed after the chemical reactions and remain on the seabed. The mission was a matter of concern for India. But China has taken approval for the same in 2012.
