PARADIGM…

One that serves as a patter or model.

A set of assumptions, concepts, values and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.

PARANORMAL…

Paranormal is an umbrella term used to describe a wide variety of reported anomalous phenomenon.

The word paranormal consists of two parts: para and normal. In most definitions of the word paranormal, it is described as anything that is beyond or contrary to what is deemed scientifically possible. The definition implies that the scientific explanation of the world around us is the ‘normal’ part of the word and ‘para’ makes up the beyond, contrary, or against part of the meaning.

HAPTIC…

relating to the sense of touch.

Haptic technology refers to technology which interfaces the user via the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations and/or motions to the user. This mechanical simulation is used to create haptic virtual objects. This emerging technology promises to have wide reaching applications. Although haptic devices are capable of measuring bulk or reactive forces that are applied by the user it should not be confused with touch or tactile sensors that measure the pressure or force exerted by the user to the interface..

http://www.landliving .com/

Believe me, this is a wonderful site for people from all diverse fields, as the site contains abundance knowledge of art, architecture and living, for people of all ages. It contains information related to all aspects related to the Human Life and the surrounding environment.

The best feature of the site is the way in which it has been presented. Not creating a mess over the website with numerous advertisements and haphazard arrangement of the hyperlinks, the website is very well organised in different sections, categories (for articles of same kind ), archives etc.in order to make it more userfriendly. All information is provided in a regular updated format, but at the same time, it also provides with the option to look out for more specific categories as per ones own convenience, under the headings of Accessories, Announcements, Appliances, Architecture etc. Placed towards the right corner of the webpage.

The information is broadly regarding the lifestyle and design in today’s modern world. Apart from this you can also find several solutions for interiors and designing along with well elaborated examples, materials and methods.

It also covers information about the venue’s of the oncoming exhibitions, expos and events. From my point of view it is a very good source of information, help and knowledge for all, and there’s lot more that one can gain from the site.

http://infosthetics.com/

As far as this site is concerned, it is also a very good website stressing more on the advanced information and technology. It is a very good source of information if one has a special interest in the informatics.

There are several hyperlinks available which provide ample information on  How Google Works Infographics (Portfolio.com). Expressing Information Courses, Visualization as metaphor (Form Follows Behavior), infosthetics visualization essay blog , Artistic data-based visualizations etc.

At the same time it provides various shopping options too, for the kind one wants. Also there are many hyperlinks for the more elaborated details. I feel that this is a good source for gaining knowledge in the field of advanced informatics.
