It all began with an idea. An idea to provide students the appropriate space to exercise their innovation and to hone their technical skills. Be it astronomy, robotics, aeromodelling, electronics or anything you can think of, there’s room for everyone. There’s even a rubik’s cube hobby group. But no one solves a Rubik’s cube nowadays. Except for that robot created by the robotics club which was originally programmed to do so. In 10 years, this hobby group may go extinct because the robot might actually start doing its job. Music club might become a SnT group because they have started creating robots that play music.We will not talk about the HAM club because even 10 years from we’ll find students running after imaginary foxes with giant antennas in their hands.
Electronics Club is one of those clubs which has always been considered as involved in substantial projects. They have been known to aspire making use of cutting edge technology. For instance, numerous projects claim to be augmented reality projects. How far these claims are true is a controversial matter but I guess if they continue on their path, one of these days, they might surpass Google Ingress. Looking at projects like EGlove, one feels that the day isn’t far when we can consider keyboard and mouse as antiquated. What remains to be seen is whether EGlove will still make sense when gaming would have evolved beyond desktop screens to completely immersive virtual reality or augmented reality environments. I have a little doubt about the continuing streak of selfÂbalancing projects because frankly, if people still wouldn’t be able balance their machines, I fear have stretched my imagination a little too far.
Talking about my imagination getting wings, let us talk about Aeromodelling Club. Let us just say birds are going to feel a bit of space crunch because of the number of ornithopters that may regularly take flight to soar in the sky. Needless to say, these bird mimicking machines would have been made by the aeromodelling club after having successfully graduated from its paper/cardboard plane models. With little help from Electronics Club, I think these ornithopters might finally achieve stability in the air. Who knows our beloved aeromodelling club might land a project with HAL. Since most of our arguments are based on the awesomeness of the fabled Programming Club of IIT Kanpur, we believe that this will be the club that will outshine every other club. Consider the project which simulated an ecology. If this model is improved upon, BRAIN’s job will be cut down only to their grotesque cloning arts. There was also this Tron game made during summers and I think the path between the Tron movie and this tron game is a straight line. Finally, it is expected of the sincere dabbawalas of IITK to develop an algorithm that will make algorithms on itsown, thus eliminating all need of human students in this club.
We also have a hobby group consisting of intellectual individuals who gather upon every moonless night dressed in white hooded robes to discuss nothing. They claim to sponsor a hot beverage made of coffee beans but never seem to have tasted this divine concoction. In 10 years, this too shall be rendered obsolete because of the marvellous coders we have in our programming club. They will devise an AI that will contemplate all scientific inquiry. So, finally Science Coffeehouse will be reduced to a bunch of heretics. Since everybody will be using hovercrafts and self levitating skateboards(or broomsticks), the already rusting SAE club will fade into obscurity. Another club with an interesting fate will be the astronomy club. It will probably launch a low Earth orbit telescope to accompany Jugnu. The stargazers are not at a fault here as due to the runaway greenhouse effect, there will be no stars to gaze upon. Speaking of GE, a similar club might become useless- GE3, because there will be no biosphere left to save.
The Business Club might have some scope speculating upon the post dystopian effects that are yet to come. BRAiN might continue to conduct experiments in genetics and keep on playing God with its blasphemous experiments like mutant fly and might even end up cloning cockroaches.
Also programming club will finally end up making an application that can think like a writer and write-optimist , false , pretentious blog posts, unlike this on, in order to please sycophants i.e. the program will write flowery articles on its own. Ergo I rest my case.
