NEW YORK (Reuters) - Eight New York residents sued Baidu Inc and the Chinese government on Wednesday, accusing China's biggest search engine of conspiring with its rulers to censor pro-democracy speech. Who said emerging technology couldn't be re-emerging? In the oil crisis of the '70s, Americans bought a half-million of these low-power motorbikes with pedals. With oil prices up, moped could make a comeback for all those potential cyclists who would appreciate a push up the hills. Gas mileage for mopeds routinely tops 70 miles per gallon. I went for a ride with my pastor again today. His scooter is back in working order again, and he's been riding around all day to visit various parishioners. In the public sector, we see gridlock in many varying manifestations-a city and county government that find it difficult to collaborate even when doing so would be in the interests of both; the federal government and states struggling to work out a simple formula by which states produce better results with less money while getting flexibility from the feds in how they do so; or two city department heads who block collaboration because of their mutual rivalry. And the list goes on. Well, the way I see it, we seem to be overcome, swamped and swallowed by the fast and emerging and converging technologies and their technique embedded gizmos that it is really going to take a strong will than we can imagine to wean ourselves off this quicksand and gridlock of this tech/gadget environ which is moving us apace with its dictates, and not ours in any form one may see or understand it. At this present state and stage, we are really Gridlocked within the Media/gadget environs.

Kiplinger Magazine columnist Marty Nemko predicted 13 careers which are really appealing. The statement made by President Barack Obama that expanding U.S. nuclear power production will add jobs and help with the goal of relying more on clean energy sources. All this demonstrate that in coming millennium the economy of the world improve tremendously. Thanks a lot for sharing so wonderful information. But by providing an opportunity for a sober second thought," bicameralism would reduce the possibility that legislation would be the product of momentary public passions or manipulation by political insiders. Video downloads are sucking up bandwidth at an unprecedented rate. A short magazine article might take six minutes to read online. Watching The Evolution of Dance" also takes six minutes-but it requires you to download 100 times as much data. The Evolution of Dance" alone has sent the equivalent of 250,000 DVDs' worth of data across the Internet. Any Library user from computers on-campus. SOAS students and staff only from computers off-campus. One concurrent user only.

I chose this matrix as a tool for analysis for two main reasons: 1) this matrix is a simplified modeling tool which helps to think more granularly about specific affordances, constraints, and general characteristics of each technology as it relates to cognition. It is in itself a cognitive tool, which is pretty awesome. 2) Heersmink has very explicitly built into his matrix the fact that these dimensions of analysis can not be blindly applied to a piece of static technology, but that these dimensions of analysis arise out of particular combinations of (1) the cognitive profile or cognitive capacities of the human agent; (2) the representational, functional, and technical properties of the cognitive artifact; (3) the task environment and context of use; and (4) the kind of epistemic action and its epistemic purpose." (Heersmink, 2014). In other words, this analysis starts off on the right foot by recognizing the integral importance of the specific user, the context of use, the goals of use, and last but not least the actual technological and representational affordances of the artifact. This is particularly relevant, of course, for an effective analysis of the smartphone.

Thanks for your reply. I think we have a lot in common... I totally agree with you about having an advantgage over others when applying for a job by knowing more than 2 languages (I speak fluent Japanese as well). To put things into perspecitive, Chinese(Mandarin and Cantonese) is the 3rd most widely spoken language in Canada ranked right after French(one of Canadia's official language), so it's definitely a HUGE ASSET by knowing the language. And yet those of us who have been engaged in foreign reporting for many years will confess to unease over many of the developments unfolding online, even as we recognize the trends are as unstoppable as globalization or the weather. Too often it seems as if professional foreign correspondents, the people paid to use their expertise while serving as informational filters, are being replaced by citizen journalists who function largely as funnels, pouring insight along with speculation, propaganda and other white noise into the mix. As all individuals make ideological statements (which tend to just be descriptive statements), it is a collective process by which ideologies are transformed. This process is generally an unconscious one. Individuals identify with their ideologies and this allows them to discuss them.

In Washington's case, the disease is right-wing reaction. Its effects have been dire already: drastic economic unfairness, the Iraq war, control of Congress by lobbyists, intractable ideologues infecting the democratic process, and a draconian war on drugs that has filled our prisons comparably to what Stalin did in the Gulag (according to Fareed Zakaria, America's prison population has quadrupled since 1980, almost totally due to drug convictions, and we now incarcerate people at 10 times the rate of many other developed countries).
