If you are interested in advances in technology and how they might effect our precious resources (water, food, land, air, energy, time), relationships, society, explorations (space, ocean, the human body), lifestyles, transportation, education, medicine, health care and fashions, then this web log is for you. It is also for you if, like me, you see technology as a route to growth that is almost without end.

Note from Technophile: Babel Fish does a great job of translating individual posts, but cannot deal with my homepage (which contains many posts). To translate an individual post (article), just scroll down to the bottom of the article and click on the time of the post (your cursor will turn into a hand when you move it over the time - called a "mouseover" - when it does, just click on it). A new page will load containing just the individual post (article). When it does, just click on the flag, contained within the graphic below, that represents your country and Babel Fish will translate the post (article) into your language (a little techno-magic - and sort of like a reverse tower of babylon)!
