Cyber Crime:
We expect
information access at the click of a mouse, live automated lives in
climate-controlled bubbles, and don’t give much thought to the
technology behind it all. The sun rises every day, the computer
turns on every morning, and all is rosy with the world. But our
modern lives are ruled by complex information systems built on
foundations of silicon sand.
Europe’s most sophisticated online markets are
ripe for savvy webmasters looking for steady traffic. A
recently released study by Jupiter Communications, Inc. indicates
that ecommerce and information sites (both U.S. and European) are
too focused on short term high volume traffic and sales while
ignoring the long term building of consumer relationships.
Holographic
and Humanoid Companions:
As our lives become
more and more isolated, we seek company from our constant
companions, the machines. Holograms are
already in use as interactive guides and playmates, but the complete
personal companion may be just around the corner in the form of
humanoid robots.
Cystic Fibrosis:
Cystic
Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic progressive disease caused by an
inherited genetic defect. It affects all mucus secreting tissues,
but particularly the respiratory and digestive tracts. The most
common fatal genetic disease in Caucasians, 90% percent of CF deaths
are due to pulmonary (lung) infections.
