Computer Groups: 'Clouds' are fluffy soft white things. The perfect metaphor for something relatively harmless, but the reality may be somewhat different. Vast billions of dollars have been poured into setting up the "server farms" that harvest the data, your data, passing through the internet. Only "ANALYTICS" will be powerful enough to help companies to satisfy their need to recoup the costs of setting it all up and maintaining it. How? Perhaps by getting people to buy more "things". |

Economics/Current
Affairs Groups: The
shortcomings of measuring a countries' performance by quoting 'Gross Domestic
Product' has been touched on before. The term was invented by an economist
in the 1930s. We need a more effective measurement tool to match 21st
century needs, says Economist Michael Green. 
Invitation
to all: The combined membership of Universities of the Third Age,
worldwide, is a vast human library of experience. We are more than just
our own personal histories, we are also the sum of all that we have seen
and done and learned, and we need to pass that on to other generations.
