Careful listening, collaboration, asking good questions—these “soft skills” aren’t always taught in school.

Today’s college graduates need every skill-related edge they can get when it comes to applying for and landing a full-time job.

Numerous surveys and reports indicate that recent U.S. college graduates face a wildly competitive job market along with astronomical student loan debt. More than 40% of recent graduates are underemployed and 16% are working part-time jobs, according to Accenture’s 2013 College Graduate Employment Survey.

One employer survey, conducted by staffing company Adecco, indicates that 44% of responding companies cited “soft skills, such as communication, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration” as the area with “the biggest gap.”

Additionally, a Talent Shortage Survey from ManpowerGroup discovered that nearly one in five employers worldwide is unable to fill positions because they can’t find people with soft skills.

So what are these soft skills—and other critical workplace skills—that are necessary to join today’s collaborative, fast-moving, real-time workforce? Here are five:

IF World is full of Fuzzy then what is fuzzy logic then check out ↓

Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic; it deals with reasoning that is approximate rather than fixed and exact.

Compared to traditional binary sets (where variables may take on true or false values), fuzzy logic variables may have a truth value that ranges in degree between 0 and 1. Fuzzy logic has been extended to handle the concept of partial truth, where the truth value may range between completely true and completely false 

Fuzzy logic has been applied to many fields, from control theory to artificial intelligence.

For example, a simple temperature regulator that uses a fan might look like this:

IF temperature IS very cold THEN stop fan

IF temperature IS cold THEN turn down fan

IF temperature IS normal THEN maintain level

IF temperature IS hot THEN speed up fan 

  Who first coined this subject?

Lotfi Aliaskerzadeh   IEEE Medal of Honor

Who first applied this Fuzzy logic practically?

The Japanese were the first to utilize fuzzy logic for practical applications.

The first notable application was on the high-speed train in Sendai.

It has also been used in recognition of hand written symbols in Sony pocket computers.

Flight aid for helicopters.

Controlling of subway systems in order to improve driving comfort, precision of halting, and power economy.

Improved fuel consumption for automobiles.

Single-button control for washing machines.

Automatic motor control for vacuum cleaners with recognition of surface condition and degree of sailing.

Prediction systems for early recognition of earthquakes.

  Topics coined on this subject:

IBM researchers cram a bit of data into 12 atoms

Nanotechnology engineers at IBM's research lab have demonstratedthe ability to store a single bit of computer data -- a binary 0 or 1 -- in just 12 atoms.

For the sake of comparison, typical computer hard drives require almost one million atoms to store a bit. This research could therefore pave the way to much smaller, faster and more energy-efficient hard drives.

"The chip industry will continue its pursuit of incremental scaling in semiconductor technology," said Andreas Heinrich, the lead investigator into atomic storage at IBM Research in California. He's talking about Moore's Law, the trend that computer power doubles every two years.

"But, as components continue to shrink, the march continues to the inevitable end point: the atom," says Heinrich. "We're taking the opposite approach and starting with the smallest unit -- single atoms -- to build computing devices one atom at a time."

There are two problems when working at these nanoscopic scales. If you have too few atoms you start to enter the weird, unpredictable and counter-intuitive world of quantum mechanics. When you increase to 12 atoms you cross something of a threshold, leaving behind quantum behaviour and going back to a comfortable and predictable magnetic structure.

The other problem is that, at this scale, using magnets to affect atoms can toy with neighbouring bits as the result of the magnetic field. Typical hard drives use ferromagnets where all the atoms are aligned in their spin -- but at this scale it causes the bits to interfere with each other.

So at IBM's lab they used antiferromagnetically coupled atoms, where each atom spins in the opposite direction to its nearest neighbour. This allowed the engineers to pack adjacent magnetic bits much closer together than was previously possible, greatly increasing the magnetic storage density without disrupting the state of neighbouring bits.

This research is something of a breakthrough, but the days of storing your entire hard drive in atoms (something like 10^14 atoms would be needed to hold a terabyte) is a decade or two off.

Drive makers will need a scanning tunneling microscope to individually tweak single or small clusters of atoms -- fine for the 60 atoms you need to store the word "THINK", not great for an iPod's 32GB drive. Plus, the nano hard drive only works at very cold temperatures. Outside a freezer you'd lose your data in minutes.

Microsoft Shares MS-DOS Source Code for First Time Ever

On Tuesday, we dusted off the source code for early versions of MS-DOS and Word for Windows. With the help of the Computer History Museum, we are making this code available to the public for the first time.

The museum has done an excellent job of curating some of the most significant historical software programs in computing history. As part of this ongoing project, the museum will make available two of the most widely used software programs of the 1980’s, MS DOS 1.1 and 2.0 and Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1a, to help future generations of technologists better understand the roots of personal computing.

In 1980, IBM approached Microsoft to work on a project code-named “Chess.” What followed was a significant milestone in the history of the personal computer. Microsoft, at the time, provided the BASIC language interpreter for IBM. However, they had other plans and asked Microsoft to create an operating system. Without their own on hand, Microsoft licensed an operating system from Seattle Computer Products which would become the foundation for PC-DOS and MS-DOS.

IBM and Microsoft developed a unique relationship that paved the way for advancements in the nascent personal computer industry, and subsequent advancements in personal computing.

Bill Gates was interviewed by David Bunnell just after the launch of the IBM PC in the early 1980s for PC Magazine’s inaugural issue, and provided the backstory: “For more than a year, 35 of Microsoft's staff of 100 worked fulltime (and plenty of overtime) on the IBM project. Bulky packages containing computer gear and other goodies were air-expressed almost daily between the Boca Raton [IBM] laboratory and Seattle [Microsoft]. An electronic message system was established and there was almost always someone flying the arduous 4,000 mile commute.”

Following closely on the heels of MS DOS, Microsoft released the first DOS-based version of Microsoft Word in 1983, which was designed to be used with a mouse. However, it was the 1989 release of Word for Windows that became a blockbuster for the company and within four years it was generating over half the revenue of the worldwide word-processing market. Word for Windows was a remarkable engineering and marketing achievement, and we are happy to provide its source code to the museum.

It’s mind-boggling to think of the growth from those days when Microsoft had under 100 employees and a Microsoft product (MS-DOS) had less than 300KB (yes, kilobytes) of source code. From those roots we’ve grown in a few short decades to become a company that has sold more than 200 million licenses of Windows 8 and has over 1 billion people using Microsoft Office. Great things come from modest beginnings, and the great Microsoft devices and services of the future will probably start small, just as MS-DOS and Word for Windows did.

Thanks to the Computer History Museum, these important pieces of source code will be preserved and made available to the community for historical and technical scholarship.
