Introduction

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that, since the mid-20th century, has been the dream of scientists and engineers, but has only gained significant momentum in the past decade. Its role is growing day by day in our daily lives, business environments, and industrial production. This article comprehensively examines the historical roots of AI, how individuals have incorporated AI technology into both their personal and professional lives, its positive and negative impacts on society and lifestyles, and how it is integrated into high-tech sectors such as electronics, communications, satellites, space, and aviation—analyzing what these applications mean for both employees and company owners.

  1. The History of AI Use and Its Place in Daily Life

Historical Development and Foundations

The origins of artificial intelligence can be traced back to the question posed by Alan Turing, “Can machines think?”, in the 1950s. The 1956 Dartmouth Conference, with contributions from pioneers such as John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, and Claude Shannon, marked the official recognition of AI as a discipline. Although early on, limited computing power and a lack of data restricted the scope of AI applications, the development of expert systems in the 1980s led to the first practical examples in fields like finance, medicine, and engineering.

The 1990s witnessed the evolution of machine learning algorithms, and with the advent of big data, deep learning, and neural network-based methods in the late 2000s and 2010s, AI became central to both individuals’ lives and institutions.

Oda Başkanı Mesut Tokay bugün TUYAD Başkanı Hayrettin Özaydın’ı Ataşehir merkez ofisinde ziyaret etti. Esnafın sesi olarak teknik Servis esnafının yaşadığı önemli sorunları aktardı; bunlardan biri de sağlıklı hakediş alınamaması, işçilik ücretlerinin şu an ki mevcut ekonomik şartların altında kaldığını belirtti. Servis esnafının artan işletme maliyetlerine şöyle de bir örnek verdi, bir tv kurulumuna en az iki tecrübeli deneyimli personel gittiğini, yerinde servis hizmetine bir araçla gidildiğini, bu aracında yakıt masrafının, bakım onarım masrafının da arttığını, eğer bu aracı kiralamak istese en az aylık 25.000 tl + KDV bedeli olduğunu ve üretici ve ithalatçı firmaların bu zor şartlar da çalışan servis esnafına, işletme sahibine hak edilecek işçilik ücreti vermediğini söyledi. Sağlıklı işçilik ücretleri olmayınca hayatını idame edecek servis çalışanı da sağlıklı maaş ödemesi olmadığı için, servis sahipleri çalıştıracak personel bulamamakta, böyle giderse imalatçı ve ithalatçı firmalarda kendilerine servis istasyonu bulamayacaktır. Haberin tamamı için röportajı https://youtu.be/HGXHn8pHb9o izleyebilirsiniz, sayın Mesut Tokay‘a yapmış olduğu ziyaretleri için teşekkür ediyoruz.

 

As natural disasters have become more common and intense lately, infrastructure is being damaged and new solutions are required. It is important to use existing communication tools in place. Satellite technology has many useful uses for minimizing the impact felt from these devastating events.

 

In order to establish communication with different regions in the same geography in the event of a disaster, uninterrupted communication to the Internet via satellite antennas, data transfer through satellite technologies, which are the common areas of use of all communication tools, can be provided from anywhere and uninterrupted technology transfer.

 

A continuous and uninterrupted access to the broadband internet system can be provided from anywhere in the world with satellite antennas. Satellite antennas are not just a means of watching TV.

 

In many parts of the world, for example in New York, people may prefer satellite internet. In 2010, there were 450 thousand satellite internet preferences in this city alone. Or, dish antennas are used to access the internet in places where cable and fiber still cannot go. Cable and fiber connection is not required to access the internet network accessed by dish antennas. Satellite internet can be preferred as an alternative to cable and fiber for individual use.

 

Satellite internet technology has the power to receive and send important data by simply providing energy without any hindrance when a disaster occurs.

 

Satellites sit securely above the earth’s atmosphere and provide communication to address wide geographical locations, there will be no obstacle in front of them to interrupt communication.

 

When broadband internet is reached, it will be possible to communicate information with each other in data centers, which are the common meeting place of all networks.

 

Instead of damaging the underground cables in an earthquake, tsunami, flood or hurricane and waiting for their repair process, emergency satellite systems will provide communication immediately.

 

Broadband satellite internet systems are VSAT applications. With the right planning and application, many lives and property can be saved in an emergency by communicating.

 

In particular, VSAT satellite systems, which are easily installed and commissioned in the event of an earthquake, will immediately transmit the status of the region or, if there is a fire, the images or the degree of coldness to the relevant people.

 

VSAT KA-KU band satellite internet systems allow teams to establish emergency communications even when terrestrial forms of communication are down. In addition, they are very suitable technologies for continuous communication in mining, farm or sea areas where there is only electricity and no infrastructure in the normal period.

 

The satellite communication system consists of two main elements, the ground station and the satellites in space. The communication between them is provided by the so-called satellite dish antennas.

 

The biggest advantage of satellite communication systems is that they provide simultaneous communication to many users within the global coverage area in locations where there is no terrestrial infrastructure, and they become almost the only communication source in natural disasters.

 

All of this demonstrates that satellite technology is a vital component of disaster relief efforts today and in the future.

 

Various organizations have been formed for the commissioning of this important system in the event of a disaster. Manpower and knowledgeable manpower are needed not only for the existence of the system, but also for its activation in the event of a disaster.

 

The address and contact information of the people who are given pre-disaster training are collected in one center or even in several centers, and this information is also available for use by international aid organizations.

 

In our region, TUYAD carries out these training activities and has directed previously trained VSAT installers to the region in the last earthquake. Now, by training more experts, many people who will put the systems into operation in a disaster that may occur all over Turkey have already started to be registered in the system.

 

NASA launched the Earth Science Disasters Program in 2006 to use its key space-based assets to save lives and property in times of crisis. They analyzed the information from his satellites.

 

As you can see, it is possible to monitor and study a wide variety of disasters via satellites. Governments and private companies around the world are using technology to provide targeted, efficient assistance to disaster areas. As the consequences of climate change increase, satellites, along with data-collecting analytics software, will become more effective at predicting natural events and subsequent relief efforts.

 

TUYAD has been a trusted name in the satellite industry for 23 years. Our non-profit organization is an association where very important brands of our country come together and organizations that have a voice in various countries of the world are members.

 

During a disaster, of course, experts are needed to work on the rescue of the wrecked. Health teams and fire extinguishers are also needed. Security forces are also needed. Satellite technology experts have also been included in these needs. And we will continue to support our existence in this field voluntarily.

 

HAYRETTİN ÖZAYDIN

CHAIRMAN OF TUYAD

Dear representative of our industry,

We are taking our place with our TUYAD Stand at the IBC Fair, which will take place on September 9 – 12, 2022 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

As the leading organization in Content, Media, Entertainment and Technology, IBC is an important channel for the promotion of our industry.

The special issue of our ‘Digitalyasam’ magazine will be distributed in the field of magazines at the fair.

You can introduce your products and services to the participants at the booth of our TUYAD Association.

We are at the IBC stand 8.A46.

 

There are four types of TV viewing options: terrestrial, satellite, cable and internet. With the widespread and accessible internet, OTT, which is the most comfortable option, has started to be preferred more.

 

OTT (Over The Top) is defined as watching the media and all kinds of content over the internet without cable and antenna. Your television should be compatible with this and it should be compatible for a long time. The most known operating system in this regard and the tool that allows you to watch the broadcasts on your television without any problems is the Android system. Google developed this system and offered it to our service, but it is not very innocent, in fact, it contains a lot of commercial income.

 

Its rival, IOS, works more widely on mobile. In other words, while IOS is preferred more for the display on mobile phones, Android is preferred for televisions. When buying a television, it is necessary to research well whether the software hidden in it is licensed. We must make sure that a television produced by a company that has a contract with Google is purchased. Otherwise, future software updates will make your broadcasts unwatchable and it will be possible for your television to become idle.

 

Internet television has made itself more prominent with the increase in platforms. There are movies and serials shot only for broadcasting on the internet. Now there are movies that we can watch whenever we want and leave it unfinished and continue later. This comfort is only possible with internet TV.

 

Now we will have much faster internet with fiber internet and 5G, whose preparations have been completed in mobile.

 

The internet, which is still at the top of TV viewing options, is also the leader in platform subscriptions. This situation does not change in our country and all over the world.

 

It is expected that all platforms will be broadcasting on the internet in the next decade.

 

Even in the worst geographical situation, 5G will be at least 100 times faster than the internet speed we use now. Thus, we will have the opportunity to watch 4K, 8K and even 16K images in a very short time. So, high speed internet will start a revolution in video streaming quality.

 

The giants of the media and the most well-known movie companies will find their place on internet TV. We can see the closest examples to this with the applications that appear as shortcuts on our smart televisions.

 

We will not only get used to watching TV, but also to smart solutions at home with simultaneous smart TV. TV will become the operating system of the house. With the voice command Google Assistant, all electronic and electrical systems will become manageable. If you don’t want to miss this, you should definitely search for a Google license when buying a smart TV. It is not difficult to research this. The license of the brand can be queried from Google. For an easier way, you can ask TUYAD.

 

Viewer habits and TV viewing ratings can also be reported very easily from here. Of course, national channels are a service that governments all over the world have the society watch as a social project. While subscription is required for other encrypted broadcasts and premium content, FREE IP TV broadcasts are offered to you free of charge and with the simple application of your TV manufacturer.

 

When we say OTT platforms, don’t just think of internationally known ones. Each country’s own broadcast bundles carry their service to the internet over time and are primarily preferred here. This is what happened in Turkey. Although Netflix had an overwhelming subscriber dominance at first, local Blu TV soon became the leader.

 

OTT is the leader in many aspects such as broadcast quality, content placement and management.

 

By 2022 and beyond, the content industry will be faster and higher quality. Platforms that fail to do this are doomed to perish and remain far behind.

 

OTT will mean the most economical use for the internet, which offers not only images but simultaneously music, smart data collection and smart solutions.
