A Life-Saving Synthetic Womb Has Been Discovered

Theory Random No Comments

For ages now, human beings believe that nature cannot be reversed. One thing is that for a new life to be brought into this world, a newborn must grow inside a womb. Scientists are making interesting discoveries. In the modern, the mortality rate is quite worrying but believe it or not, scientists are doing their best to see that this is minimized.

You could be wondering how they are doing this. Recently, scientists made it possible for a premature fetal lamb to continue developing in a synthetic womb. The synthetic womb called a bio bag resembles a woman’s uterus.

The Lamb Survived

Using 105-day old lambs, this new discovery was tested on how effective it is and it proved to be quite effective. During the 4 weeks that the lambs were in the bio bags, they continued to develop normally as they would inside a uterus. The purpose of the artificial womb creation proved to be met as the lambs developed lung and hair without issues.

At What Age Were The Lambs Placed In The Artificial Womb?

According to the scientists, they should be placed in the artificial womb after they start developing. This comes in handy when they are born prematurely and cannot survive on their own. These bags will sustain them until they can survive on their own.

Can This Work on Human?

Premature births lead to numerous deaths of newborns every year. The age at which the lambs were placed in the fluid-filled synthetic womb is equivalent to 22weeks of a human fetus. It is not yet clear whether it can currently work on human development but there is hope that something similar is possible.

This Is a Life-Saving Device

At the age that the lambs were put in the womb which is about 22 weeks in a persons’ development, none can survive on their own and this is one reason infants born at below 30 weeks don’t survive. This “womb” that has been improvised is life-saving as it creates that natural condition to sustain fetuses.

A benefit of the Synthetic Womb to Human

If these artificial wombs become a reality in the development of human being, the benefits will be immeasurable. The mortality rate will be significantly reduced and chronic diseases in premature newborns will be a thing of the past.

This is a very important discovery and although it has not been tested on human beings, it clears the doubt that it is possible to save lives of the newborn. Newborn deaths are a huge menace that with such discoveries, it can be positively dealt with.

According to history and extensive research, human beings are the most intelligent and curious living organisms on the entire planet, and due to this reason, we are capable of inventing new things. From the age of the caveman who forged the first sharp-edged tool, down to the development of the internet and power grids, numerous advancements are uniquely ground-breaking.

Barely twenty years into the new millennium, this century has already displayed profound inventions reminding us that creativity and curiosity in the human brain will always explore for fresh technology and innovations. Below are eight spectacular innovations of the 21st century

Is Society Being Controlled By the Media?

Theory Media No Comments

Many people believe that the society is controlled by the media. For some, it’s a bit hard to say what original means because everything you wear, eat, listen to, and act are the things that you’ve seen not things that you’ve invented. It’s a prime example of how media controls the society.

News media will tell you the news, tell people what’s important, and what to listen to. Fashion designers, on the other hand, control what you wear. If you’re in the club listening to music and had couple of drinks, a particular song will make you act crazier, controlling your behavior.

Screens Surrounding the GlobePeople are surrounded by different forms of media, regardless of where you go. From watching televisions to travelling in your car, you will encounter a kind of message that somebody wants you to take notice of.

If you think that the media you encounter during your typical day, it might encompass internet, radio, TV, advertising signs or posts, email, and messages in the workplace. Constant bombardment of messages both subliminal and conscious, enters one’s brain in an ordinary day.

You might think that you choose to ignore the information that enters your conscious mind, yet each time you hear or see some kind of media your brains register it. Therefore, if you’re exposed to something often, your subconscious will recognize that message. The messages from those who produce the media might be anything from a public service announcement providing you a kind of service through telling how good some products are and that you should purchase it. With the media messages being an essential part of communication, it’s no longer a surprise that most people are being controlled by the media.

If somebody controls media distribution, they might find that they accumulate lots of government friends due to the reason that government like every media message that involves them in portraying them in a light to public. Bad media coverage may break or make a government. That is the reason why there’s no doubt that the news media and government have a close relationship. But, why would people believe what media shows?

There are some people who wanted to stick with the truth and ignore the things that would just confuse them. However, since media is powerful and almost everyone is being controlled by it, there’s a higher chance to be part of a media-controlled society. Regardless of how you stick with the truth, if most of your friends or closest family members believe the opposite things, you might as well believe what the media tells you. If you don’t want this to happen, it’s best to find out the real story behind a message. Take note, media is also controlled by human beings. And as a human being, there’s still something you can do about it and that is by telling yourself to be neutral.

Never believe the media immediately, be smarter than that. Instead, use the media to your advantage such as sharing your opinions about something.

Putting Conversion Theory To The Test

Theory Conversions No Comments

Theories are great when there exists an actual way to prove them. The we can determine if the theory was true or not.

Take for example when someone builds a website. In most cases the website owner wants to get the people on the site to take a certain action. A common goal is to obtain user’s email so that a relationship can be created between the website owner and the email subscriber. Using a sales funnel the ultimate goal of this partnership is usually to sell the subscriber something of value, and in most cases sell repeatedly throughout the life of their connection.

increasing-profitsIn such an example the website owner will have a conversion rate target. The conversion rate is the percentage of website visitors that convert into email subscribers. The higher this ratio the more subscribers the website owner will gain from the same amount of website visitors. So obviously they want the value of this ratio to be as large as possible.

Now when the website is first being built we have no way of knowing what the actual conversion rate of a website will be. We can guess and predict what the value may be, however all of these assumptions will simply be a guess. Taking into consideration the vast amount of case studies and data that has been collected and shared by others around the world on conversion rate optimisation, an educated guess may be achieved. However a guess none the less.

Only when the site is ready and made live can a real world test be put in place to test the theory. Will the educated guess match the real world data? It will most likely be close if it came from an experienced internet marketer.

At this moment we enter another opportunity for a theory to enter the plan ahead. As we mentioned the website owner wants his conversion rate to be as high as possible to gain more email subscribers. So he sets out on a mission to increase his websites conversion rate.

To achieve such an increase he must seek our a conversion rate optimisation service provider to help him achieve his goals. Through extensive research and experience on the subject an expert team will put their theories to the test, ideally one at a time.

A conversion optimisation expert can quickly scan a webpage and can not only identify chances to the page that will improve conversions, they will also know which changes will have the greatest impact. Of course even the most experienced on this subject still holds theories in their mind. Using past experiences they can improve the closeness of their theories to reality, however even they will not know the true outcome until after a test has been completed.

By only testing one change at a time they test their theory that their proposed change did in fact improve conversions. Of course if it did not then it is just a simple case of reverting that change back to the original state and trialing another change. While this seems harmless if you were making many wrong assumptions then you are not improving your conversion rate at all and are making very expensive errors. This is why you should always employ the services of an experienced conversion rate optimiser to gain the best outcomes for your goals.

If We Build It – They Will Come. Really?

Theory Random No Comments

Surely you have heard of this saying.

If we build it – they will come.

Crowd-with-hands-upIt is often said while talking about launching a new business or product. Of course it sounds like it originated a very long time ago when they may have been talking about building a stadium for a sporting event. Regardless, the overall meaning of this saying, or theory is the same.

The theory suggest – all that is required is to provide or offer something and you will attract people who want it. The classic “Supply and Demand” model of business that we all learnt in school. However it is not always that easy. Especially in today’s super competitive markets.

Often this is the start of a brain flash of a new million dollar idea (well they wish). Someone thinks hey all I need to do is create this thing, people will flock to me to buy it and I’ll be rich!

However as any new business owner soon realises, simply offering a product or service does not magically put food on the table, so to speak. We know this as there are countless of businesses all around the world that have fantastic products and services for sale that can literally change the world, however they don’t have the marketing or exposure they need to be found, and unfortunately they end up going out of business.

So while people may have great ideas and they believe that all they need to do is to create their product or service and people will come, unfortunately this is not always the case.

So when will this theory be true?

On the flip side this theory can and does appear to be true quite often. However what we don’t usually hear about it all the other background work that goes on to achieve such a success story. Well then, lets have a look at some of these initial steps that need to be taken to ensure a flawless success.

  1. A suitable market is identified
  2. An problem is found that this market complains about.
  3. You locate or develop a product or service that solves this issue
  4. You market this product to this market by getting a message directly to them
  5. If marketed correctly the market will understand that they need your product in order to solve their problem and then they will come to get it.

Of course we can go into more specifics for each point but you get the picture. By doing the initial market research before launching such a business idea you will have much greater chance of achieving success.

Then you will be able to reap the benefits of having a product or service that many people will track you down for.
