5 Stars Review of the Ted Fishman segment
The subject is China. Fishman tells Rose about the vastness of Shanghai, the incredible dynamism and pace of the city. He talks about the rural millions deposited in its neighborhoods, about the great gaps in wealth the formally Communist country now has. He talks about the intellectual piracy which has helped accelerate the greatest leap forward. China’s leaders understood that to move their society they would do well to steal from the world whatever it had discovered, patented or not.
Rose asks the right questions , about Chinese ambitions, capacities, limitations. Fishman is balanced in his presentation admits there is much only the future will answer. China is a long- term potential military rival. The whole arrangement which now prevails with China holding so much of U.S. Government debt, is worrisome. The Chinese do have great ambitions, and they have great problems. The pollution problem is impossible and with the Economy continuing to accelerate even environmental measures of the kind China should have and has not yet introduced, will not solve it. China is still growing and its population estimated minimally at 1.3 billion may truly be closer to 1.6 billion. i.e. the statistical error in estimating the population of China is equal to the three - hundred million which is the U.S.’s population.
This was a fascinating conversation and Rose would have been wise to give Fishman the whole hour, and bring in with him a number of other China experts.
The Cell Phone Revolution
April 29, 2009 by Phone Technology · Leave a Comment
The Cell Phone Revolution is a revealing look at the enormous impact this small device has had on the way we live — and the surprising dead ends and detours it took along the way. From a futuristic dream at the 1939 World’s Fair — the cell phone became a reality some thirty years later. But it took another decade while corporate giant AT&T and family business Motorola battled each other, and government red tape, to get the phone on the market — and another decade to get it right. Meanwhile, countries around the world adopted the new technology with ease. The Inside Story of the Cell Phone takes you behind the boardroom doors to hear what was really going from the people who were there at the birth of a technology that has forever changed the way we relate to the world…and each other.

There are charities, but they will often not take outdated computers. So what should consumers really do with their e-waste?

But today, the cell phone can perform all of these functions. In Japan, consumers can use their phones to pay for purchases and program their DVRs remotely; home computer use is actually declining among the younger generation. In the United States and Europe, cell phones and mobile devices are beginning to have a similar impact. This panel from the 2008 Milken Institute Global Conference asks whether the smart phone can actually replace the PC.
