"The practice known as hedonic price indexing based on "chained dollars" was put into place. computers came to be valued for their potential to increase productivity rather than their actual cost, dramatically inflating both the importance of the tech sector in the economy, and overstating GDP so as to make the number useless. Nearly half the items in America's measure of consumer price inflation are "adjusted." Between 2000 and the end of 2004, for example, spending on computers rose 9.3 percent. Since computers became more powerful, however, the number was enhanced to 113.4 percent." - William Bonner, Addison Wiggin, Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis (Get the book.)

"We use our bodies as we use our cars or computers: giving them commands to take us where we want to go and do what we want to have done. We live in our heads, with little time and inclination to live in our whole bodies. We are losing the ground under our feet. Grounding ourselves in our bodies is a first step; it needs to be followed by another. The stresses and strains of existence also impact our emotional lives, and those too need attention. It is not that we have lost contact with our emotions—we are only too aware of them much of the time. But they are often the wrong kind of emotions." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"I am reminded that while IBM, DEC, Prime computers, and others were spending billions of dollars inventing new computers, two "nerdy" guys in northern California—literally working in a garage—invented the personal computer that changed the world. That company was Apple. And many of the DECs and Prime computers of that age do not even exist today. It is my belief that the truly great breakthroughs don't, and won't, happen in the labs of the big pharmaceutical companies. It is very unlikely that they will happen in the labs of our major universities either." - Pat Sullivan, Wellness Piece by Piece: How a Successful Entrepreneur Discovered the Pieces to His Chronic Health Puzzle (Get the book.)

"Despite reams of studies, we are left with contradictory guidelines about the safety of cell phones, microwave ovens, computers, and other electronics that emit low-level electromagnetic or magnetic fields. We know even less about how the huge fields of energy that encompass Earth affect us. For example, we are only now beginning to explore how the electromagnetic fields that fill the ionosphere impact us." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "He even explored subjects as varied as electronics, computers, chaos theory, and information theory. He felt there was something promising in this bio-energetic approach to healing, but none of the makers of the biotechnologies he knew about or had tried could provide a coherent theory of how they worked. They seemed to be missing something important, but Harry could not yet figure out what that something was. Harry spent more than a year in the United States, and while there he got the education he was seeking." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"And, just like computers, these beliefs become the programs that direct our lives. It doesn't matter whether they are really true or not; the fact that we perceive them to be true turns them into automatic programs that are the blueprints for our future life experiences. We download our parents' beliefs and behave accordingly.5 At our core, the beliefs that we are either capable or lacking in ability, worthy or undeserving, safe or at risk, healthy or sickly, for example, become programs that create our reality as adults. Still, the majority of our accepted beliefs are not true." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "NOXIOUS ENERGY FIELDS Most of us are somewhat aware that electronic equipment like television sets, computers, microwave ovens, heating pads, electric blankets, cell phones, electric razors, and high tension power lines give off radiation or electrical waves that may be harmful. But do we really understand the health implications of electromagnetic radiation? Knowledge of noxious energy fields emanating from certain earth locations is just beginning to be understood. We have man-made electromagnetic force fields (emf), as well as natural ones from the earth, known as geopathic forces." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Electrically, we stress every cell in our body by exposing ourselves to the invisible but unnatural and harmful electromagnetic force fields (emf) generated by electrical devices such as: machinery, power lines inside and outside our homes, radios, televisions, computers, phones, electric shavers, and hair dryers. Our bodies are electrical, and anything that interferes with the free flow of electricity and communication around our bodies or within and between the cells, contributes to disease. Disease is caused by how we live, and the environment we live in." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Gas stoves and heaters emit nitrogen dioxide, ageing refrigeration still contains chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), radiation comes from television screens, microwave ovens, fluorescent lamps and computers. Insulating materials, paints, carpets, glues, tobacco smoke, ovens, vacuum cleaners, air conditioning, all emit fumes, irritants or radiation, and the list goes on. In the last thirty years we have become surrounded by electromagnetic fields, not just from household appliances but also from living near high-tension powerlines." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Modern technologies and computers were derived from the principles of information and energy that came to light through the study of quantum physics; yet with regard to understanding the nature of life and treating the human body, we still rely mostly on old and outdated Newtonian principles. Understanding the way the human body operates becomes relatively easy once we apply the principles of quantum physics. You as consciousness, soul or spirit, are the only true source of that energy and information that run your body." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"An increased risk for breast cancer was found among women who had greater exposure to EMFs (three hours or more of use of computers, mobile telephones, television sets, or household appliances). [In Vivo 19:563-6, 2005] There may be obscure or hidden factors that make risk analysis from EMFs difficult. For example, it is difficult to sort out one type of close exposure (for example, cell phones or computers) from another distant source (power lines). A vigorous scientific debate exists as to whether there is or isn't a health risk from EMFs." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"The Dalai Lama gazes out from the cover of New York magazine with his bald pate covered in electrodes and posed against a bank of computers. The scene is actually a cultural fantasy image: the New York magazine photojournalist has reworked a standard photograph of the Dalai Lama in a way that has the effect of literally draping him in symbols of brain science research. Permission courtesy of New York magazine. Photo illustration by John Blackford, 1998." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) "New York magazine's cover that week sported an image of the Dalai Lama posed in front of rows of computers showing colorful brain scan images. Dressed in traditional monastic robes, with hands clasped and a serene (if slightly puckish) expression on his face, the Tibetan leader had an array of EEG electrodes pasted across his head. " - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"This Infoceutical also is designed to address the bioenergetic consequences of overexposure to electromagnetic radiation, or e-smog, from both man-made sources such as computers, mobile phones, and radio waves—and natural ones, such as solar radiation. It also has a bioenergetic impact on the nervous system, specifically addressing issues correlated to many of the bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, and viral particles—both real and virtual—that may disrupt the nervous system and affect other tissues. Therefore, this Energetic Star has a robust connection to Energetic Terrains." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Therefore, it's usually possible to find people who know something about how computers work and how they can be repaired. No one brings a computer back to the same specialist week after week for years in the hope that constant tinkering might finally pay off. Compared to a computer specialist's well-defined knowledge of his machine's hardware and software, the psychiatrist's knowledge is a pitiful, fuzzy collection of drug-company-sponsored "theories" about the brain and the mind." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Middle managers quit their jobs to become day traders, buying and selling stocks using their home computers. Many start-up companies, with little more than a business plan of how they would make money through the Internet, saw their share prices rise by twenty to thirty times, even though they had never recorded a profit. During this American boom it was the pharmaceutical manufacturers that most consistently excited market-crazed investors looking for fast growth with little risk." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"The various forms of ITC include radios, TVs, telephones, computers, and other technical devices. Mark Macy used a device called "the luminator" in combination with an off-the-shelf Polaroid 600 camera and stock film and has obtained thousands of pictures of "spirit faces" that appear on the film in his presence and sometimes also in the presence of a person to whom a given spirit face was known. (The "luminator" was invented by Patrick Richards of Michigan. It has two counterrotating fans that pull air into vents at the base of the unit and blow it out through the vents at the top." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "In the last quarter of the twentieth century vast quantities of information came to be stored on optical disks and communicated by fiber optics and networked computers. New information technologies rationalized and dropped the costs of production and consumption and led to vast increments in the mining, production, use, and eventually discarding of a wide variety of manufactured goods. The new technologies intensified the transborder flows of information, energy, raw materials, and finished products." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Discovering Interests and Cultivating Passions For parents who are in the habit of relying on digital entertainment to keep their hyperactive or inattentive children occupied the thought of setting limits and restricting exposure to television, video games, MP3 players, and computers may be a little scary. "What are they going to do with their time, then?" you'll ask. You may even wonder if what they'll do with their time will cut into your time." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "This is why it is important that your child's workspace be away from the sight of televisions, computers, media players, and video game consoles?basically anything that will tempt your child to drop his or her pen or pencil and pick up a remote control or video game controller instead. Some parents allow their children to do their homework on the carpet in front of the television set or on their beds with their MP3 players or CD players blasting music into their ears. You know that they couldn't possibly be absorbing much from their homework and their textbooks with these distractions." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Dean Radin Decade: 1990s Study: Radin wanted to test whether an event of mass conscious awareness and focus could move the meters on the sensitive REG computers. He set up five REG computers at three different locations around the world, including the PEAR Lab at Princeton, the University of Amsterdam and the University of Nevada, to determine if they could register the high emotional context of the O.J. Simpson verdict in the global consciousness." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.)

"Its proprietary system, called Holographic Neural Technology (Hnet), for which it now has a worldwide patent, used principles of holography and wave encoding for computers to learn tens of thousands of stimulus-response memories in less than a minute and to respond to tens of thousands of these patterns in less than a second. In AND's view, its system was an artificial replica of how the brain works. Single neuron cells with just a few synapses were capable of learning memories instantly. Millions of these memories could be superimposed." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Some growers own satellite systems linked to computers that monitor weather patterns. During ice storms, radar-activated hail guns fire sonic waves that melt the ice pellets into rain. Leonardo da Vinci suggested planting citrus orchards near streams, so that the water could power heat-generating fans in the winter. Today, digital alarms linked to propane heaters and windmill-like hot-air machines protect crops during chills. Helicopters are flown over plantings to circulate warm air and disperse mist or moisture." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Had he lived to see the impact of computers and the Internet, he would probably have seen the Omega Point coming even sooner. The End of Time At the Omega Point, our evolution's ever-accelerating trend would at last come to an end. But this would not, it must be emphasized, signify an end to the world, at least not in the sense in which we normally mean it. It would certainly mean an end to our attachment to the world; an end to our dysfunctional attitudes and behavior; an end to the world as we know it now. Time itself would not end. Our bodies would live on. So would our species." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "Automated factories produce cars, electric motors, television sets, radios, cameras, computers, and digital watches with almost no input of human energy. In banks, offices, warehouses, and supermarkets, information technology is increasingly taking over functions previously performed by people. Accountants, lawyers, pilots, architects, draftsmen, doctors, engineers, secretaries, and others are being released from many of their routine tasks. The consequence is plain to see. The more developed nations are no longer heading toward full employment but toward ever-increasing unemployment." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "A hundred years ago, the meme of using computers to help us in our work did not exist. Today it has spread to everyone; the idea is firmly implanted within us all. Memes are the basic unit of cultural heredity; like the genes in a cell, they bind us together into a cohesive society. Some memes are useful. Ideas about how to raise children in a loving manner, and reduce the incidence of childhood trauma, are very valuable and can improve the long-term quality of life in a profound way. Others are less useful." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "A laptop of the 1990s has more memory, more flexibility, more functions, and more versatility (and is far faster) than the computers of 1960, which typically required about 2,000 square feet of space just to house them. The exponential increase in computer memory is reflected in Moore's Law, which states that memory capacity doubles every eighteen months. Computer speed follows a similar pattern. Ten years ago, a 10-megahertz chip was the norm; five years ago, the norm was 100 megahertz." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"As a result, they continually leach out from the plastics that make up our computers, TVs, and wire insulation, the insides of our window frames, the upholstery, carpets, and clothing we buy, and the lint from the clothes dryer into the air around us. From there they do not waft away in the breeze or disappear; instead, they fall to the floor and attach to the minuscule bits of dust in our homes. One recent study found PBDEs in every single sample of dust evaluated from seventy homes across seven states from New York to California." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Thinking of Atoms as Data To begin such a comparison, let's take a look at what we know about computers. No matter how large or small, how simple or sophisticated, every computer has a language that it uses to get things done. In our familiar desk- or laptop, that language is a code based on patterns of numbers called bits, which is simply the computerese shorthand for the longer phrase "binary digits." And "binary digits" simply means that all information is coded as patterns of 1's and O's, "ons" and "offs," the shorthand for the polarities that make the universe what it is." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"They are on the airplanes all the time with their computers, working and working and working to the exclusion of having a well-rounded life. People are addicted to sexual activity, alcohol, cigarettes and gambling, a new addiction on the horizon that is going to bring tremendous problems as [local and state] governments continue to finance themselves with the revenue from gambling establishments. Another one is addiction to exercise. I have some patients who, if they cannot run on any particular day, actually go into a form of withdrawal." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)
