"Artificial satellites, fiber optics, digital coding, computerized switching, faxes, video links, and other advances in telecommunications have woven an ever-thickening web of information flowing around the world: billions of messages shuttling back and forth at the speed of light. We, the billions of minds that make up this huge "global brain," are being linked together by the "fibers" of our telecommunications systems in much the same way as are the billions of cells in each of our brains." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"The decline in the sense of stability in the local community, coupled with the increasing dominance of telecommunications in our lives, brings with it the rise of a culture dominated by celebrities. The celebrities' stature seems often to be enhanced by stories of their enormous market values. Celebrity status, in turn, enhances the value not only of celebrity individuals but also of celebrity firms and celebrity cities and resorts. Especially subject to such an impact are glamour stocks and housing in glamour cities or famous vacation areas." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"We, the billions of minds that make up this huge "global brain," are being linked together by the "fibers" of our telecommunications systems in much the same way as are the billions of cells in each of our brains. Through this rapidly growing network of light, we can share ideas and experiences not just with those around us, but with anyone, anywhere on the planet. We are moving beyond civilization, in its literal sense of "making into towns," into globalization. We are moving into a world without walls, where distance is no separation." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"So, for example, a commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission knows that if he or she votes in favor of agency action that offends the interests of the major broadcast, cable, and telecommunications companies, he or she can expect that those companies and their Washington area law and lobbying firms will not be sources of future gainful employment when that Commissioner enters the private sector. The same is true for the commissioners of the Federal Trade Commission. The effect extends beyond market positions to financed chairs at universities." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

"The Cellular telecommunications and Internet Association reports that in 2007 there are more than 180 million subscribers in the United States, up from 110 million users just three years earlier. Experts estimate that by 2010 there will be 2.2 billion subscribers worldwide. Cell phones are becoming so ubiquitous that soon there will be no control group against which to compare their risks." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"TTY= teletype (for the hearing impaired) TDD= telecommunications device for the deaf done within ten minutes; after that time, the oil will have penetrated the skin and cannot be washed off. Wash clothing, gear, or pack material in plenty of hot, soapy water, with chlorine bleach added, if possible. Stubborn cases of poison ivy that do not respond to proper treatment are often due to repeated contact with contaminated clothing. POISONING There are literally thousands of substances, both natural and synthetic, that can cause poisoning." - Phyllis A.

"They hope for futures where teachers can supplement meager libraries with online books, where telemedicine—the use of cell phones and other telecommunications devices for diagnosing and treating patients in remote locations—supplements the limited resources of rural hospitals, where local artisans can sell goods to a global audience online, and where the next generation of students writes computer code for international businesses." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"He had a steady job with a large telecommunications company, which also employed his father. Miraculously, against modern trends, in 2003 Pete was still working for the same corporation, despite it having changed ownership. After marrying, Barbara and Pete moved eight miles up the road. Barbara's dad still feels put out about this because, for him, it is now a day's trip to visit them. Even this short move broke up the close community which he had been used to all his life. Pete's parents had grown up in London, so he was a little more used to the idea of living in different places." - Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.)

"Internet, the global telecommunications network that connects us all, and you'll find more than 23,000 titles. Search for books on shipping containers and you'll find fewer than 200. After all, who wants to read about container ships and the cargos they carry? Yet these homely metal boxes are the key component in an astounding network of ships and ports that allows goods to flow freely around the world." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "Mike majored in biology at the University of Washington in Seattle, after which his career in the private sector included a stint with a large telecommunications firm and stints managing radio stations in major markets. He has published numerous articles and papers, and does frequent interviews with the media. As an accomplished presenter on the societal implications of emerging technologies, he has addressed conferences and groups in North America, South America, Europe, and Great Britain.

"Your boss wants you, your kids want you, you've got telecommunications gadgets that beep and buzz in symphony, you've got deadlines, you've got bills, you've got meetings, you've got twenty-minute traffic backups, you've got six appointments in four hours, and you've got about wee much patience to juggle it all. And, oh yeah, how about a little lovin' for your neglected honey-poo? While Calgon may have achieved advertising immortality with a slogan that capitalized on our overstressed society, most of us are so beaten and bruised and burdened by stress that we've actually gotten used to it." - Mehmet C.

"Imagine this vast network of nerve cells as the telecommunications system of the body. It conveys information to other cells in remote parts of the body and receives critical details about function from other like organisms. It is classically taught that these nerve cells, called neurons, decline rapidly with age. It is also taught that brain cell death is permanent and that these neurons are incapable of regenerating. It is believed that the rate and number of decline are associated with degenerative diseases of aging, such as senility. In fact, this is merely a corresponding observation." - Richard, Dr. DiCenso, Beyond Medicine, exploring a new way of thinking (Get the book.)

"Much of the research funding is provided by the telecommunications industry just as much of the research funding on more general electromagnetic field research was provided by the electric power industry. It may not surprise you to learn that the highly publicized Danish Cancer Society study that exonerated cell phones and the yet-to-be completed IARC study are directly funded by the industry.16 Whether this affects the design of the studies and their outcome can't be determined. One group will have an answer in 2009, after they complete a long-term animal research project." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"Over the following fifteen years, the EU member states, Jensen said, ceded three quarters of their governing mandate to Brussels, in areas ranging from environmental regulation to food safety, accounting standards, telecommunications policy, and oversight of corporate mergers." Until then, advanced environmental thinking was pretty much limited to the national level in countries like Germany, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia. But after Maastricht, those ideas started filtering their way into the EU." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"We've all read the headlines: Massive fraud in the accounting, energy, telecommunications, insurance and health care industries. Wall Street scandals. Products put on the market with harmful defects kept from the public. Untold devastation of the environment. Avaricious executives raking in hundreds of millions as their firms sink. Predatory lending practices. The ship is taking on water. It's enough to make you want to jump over the side. How did we end up here?" - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"It predicted, "The telecommunications industry will pare itself from ten or more major players to about three or so; mergers will lead to cultural turmoil as well as union and employee unrest, especially in the local and interexchange mix; workers in the industry will be paid less, work harder, and have fewer unique benefits and perquisites; and prices will fall for end users in some cases, but customers in some parts of the country will be no better off when the telecommunications revolution is over than they are today." - Carl Jensen, 20 Years of Censored News (Get the book.)

"The Cellular telecommunications & Internet Association hired a man to head up a $28 million research program looking into the possible health effects from cellular phone use. Amazingly, the industry's own research showed that heavy cell phone users experience an increase rate of brain cancer deaths, development of tumors, genetic damage in the cells, as well as other negative health issues. 32.

The harbinger of the bad news for the public was aptly titled the telecommunications Deregulation Bill, which moved through both houses of Congress. As the name implies, the bill eliminates virtually all regulation of the United States communication industry." - Carl Jensen, 20 Years of Censored News (Get the book.)

"Like the electromagnetic impulses of modern telecommunications, our material world takes on coherent form only when it makes contact with an appropriate receptor, such as one of our five senses. At least that's what David Bohm thought. He hypothesized an implicate order to the universe, in which all that we see is encoded in patterns of pure energy. Only the peculiarities of human perception translate this mass of writhing energy into the familiar explicate forms of our three-dimensional universe." - Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe, The Einstein Factor: A Proven New Method for Increasing Your Intelligence (Get the book.)

Jerry Eisenberg, CEO of ORBCOMM, said the relationship with VeriChip provided yet another new and important industry that will use their satellite system and its ground infrastructure network to transmit messages globally." - David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.)

"Commercialization of Medicine Sets a New Tone In the last two decades of the twentieth century, medicine joined many other disciplines that had already begun moving away from control by the government toward control in the private sector, including the utilities, the airlines, the telecommunications industry, and even to some extent, the military. Professional values, of course, are not etched in stone, but evolve in the context of the mores of the times." - Jerome P.

"Companies that operated cable systems in several cities around the county, such as telecommunications, Inc., Cablevision, Comcast, and Warner-Amex, became known as multiple system operators (MSOs). These companies started by controlling the hardware of cable distribution—the network of cables that connected the master antenna or satellite receiver to individual households. The costs of wiring cities for cable were enormous, and many of these companies took on huge debts to finance the installation process." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"More problematical is the widespread disruption of computers, navigational equipment and telecommunications apparatus. Fortunately this is not too common an occurrence. But it is hardly surprising, in view of the brain's electrical properties, that at these times people's behaviour may become disturbed. It isn't common knowledge, but there is a marked rise in psychiatric hospital admissions at times of peak sunspot activity. This statistic alone makes it clear that the sun's rays can be bad for us and that Gaia isn't all sweetness and light." - Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.)
