"The Internet is, of course, an important technological advance in its own right, and it, as well as other developments in computer technology and robotics, does promise to have an unpredictable and powerful impact on our future. But we may question what impact the Internet and the computer revolution should have on the valuation of existing corporations. New technology will always have an impact on the market, but should it really raise the value of existing companies, given that those existing companies do not have a monopoly on the new technology?" - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Essentially it is a combination of X-ray and computer technology that means a three-dimensional picture can be built up of tissues of the body, particularly soft tissues such as lungs, which do not show up so well on X-rays. þSkin tests can show whether the asthmatic is allergic to any specific substances that may be triggering attacks. Skin prick tests are usually painless. A drop of allergic extract is placed on the skin surface and a prick made at the same spot with a needle." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"But it's useful to know that advances in computer technology have brought the cost of the Freeze-Framer down from thousands of dollars to $275 on the Internet—still a lot, but a big improvement. This form of biofeedback may thus be within your reach to try at home, whereas just a few years ago only a handful of specialists could have afforded it. And besides reducing overbreathing and stress, my colleague Dr. Paul Lehrer tells me that use of a method similar to Freeze-Framer was effective in reducing pain and improving function in FM patients." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"JEKYLL AND HYDE What all this means for the global game is that a small town in India can have wayward dirt roads and power shortages at the very same time that it has cutting-edge computer technology. It can have malarial mosquitos and biomedical engineering. So, if you are gung-ho for globalization, it is a simple thing to point out the improvements and call for more of the same." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"She needed to study English, as all university courses in Ethiopia are taught in English, and she wanted to study computer technology. Two months later I received my first letter in English from my new daughter. It began "Dear Dad," and ended with, "I thank you for your innocent gift. Your daughter, Rehima." Kaldi's Goats Bring Coffee to the World (Maybe) Ethiopia is the only country in the world so heavily steeped in coffee ritual." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)

"Computers in Medicine Another source of help in practicing evidence-based medicine, one that's increasingly available to doctors and hospitals, is computer technology. Medical informatics is the term that is applied not only to the use of electronic medical records, but also to so-called decision support programs that can be integrated with electronic medical records. Many doctors recognize the difficulty they have keeping up with the literature, and would welcome authoritative, evidence-based information just at the moment they're making decisions." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L. Patrick, Hope or Hype: The Obsession with Medical Advances and the High Cost of False Promises (Get the book.)

"In fact, nothing directly came of this idea and it was not until the advent of computer technology a decade later that this dream of storing a large number of 'information signals' came to fruition.1 However, this got the two men started on research and development, together with bio-physicist Ludger Mersmann, and what they came up with in 1977 was a machine which certainly changed the face of future medicine. We are still only two decades into its development, and so it has far from fulfilled its potential yet." - Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.) "This is certainly an advance over the 'manual programming' of the MORA machine and an obvious benefit of computer technology that lends itself to the situation. But the chief technological advance the BICOM boasts is the use of a band pass, a cyclical passage of a narrow 'information window' up and down the scale from 10 Hz to 150,000 Hz. This innovation is based on the observation over many years that therapy works best if oscillations are returned in a relatively narrow range. Otherwise the cellular dynamics may be given too much to deal with." - Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.) "It has taken advantage of available computer technology and is accordingly dubbed the BICOM (Bl-ological COM-puter). It has around a thousand pre-programmed case handlings, with pre-set frequencies and timed units based on the pooled knowledge of many practitioners of the MORA school. Among the problems which can be dealt with in this easy way are: Problem Pre-set Programme eye inflammation (520) bladder irritation (490) diabetes (45) muscular pain (630) hacking cough (540) wound healing, stimulating (931) selenium metabolism, stimulating (804) and so on..." - Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.)

"A remarkable example of the possibilities opened up by new computer technology and applications was the Apollo Program. On July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong (b. 1930) stepped onto the surface of the Moon, an event that marked a technological and propaganda triumph for the United States." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.) "Computer Networks Improved computer technology in the 1960s made possible interconnected computers and greater flexibility for users outside the data processing department. One of the most successful adaptations of networked computers was American Airlines' SABRE computer reservation system. Developed in the early 1960s as a way of keeping track of one airline's sales of seats, SABRE was extended to travel agents' desks in 1976, presenting a choice of seats on many competing airlines." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"But I stress that when I say the Matrix is like a computer or software program I am only using this term to symbolise the theme of what I mean because today's computer technology helps me to describe these concepts. When it comes to the Matrix, even the most fantastic of today's computers and software is like comparing roller skates with the space shuttle, and even that gap does not tell the full story." - David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.)

"Once in place, the scope of the basic care package could be expanded as the system realizes savings derived from standardization, more efficient computer technology, and the end of market-based medicine with its required profits, stock options, and generous executive-compensation deals. The health council could save money by creating an enforcement agency that would pay for itself by ferreting out fraud, which may run as high as $200 billion a year. One possibility would be to decriminalize health care fraud and make it a civil offense." - Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele, Critical Condition: How Health Care in America Became Big Business (Get the book.)
