3D printing for Health Care

I gave the link below about the Click on-line article about the 3D printer which recreated a smaller replica of a human face. There was a development brought to light today that is really comforting in that it actually serves a more practical purpose - creating artificial blood vessels for lab-made organs. A real world application no less. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14946808

Materialization Now Available. We Just Need De-materialization

BBC's Click online takes a first look at 3D printers and shows how to reproduce a human head (somewhat smaller).

Comparison of Views: Gartner and Wired

On Saturday I watched a very interesting 25 minute talk by Kevin Kelly from Wired which reduces the future of the Internet to six verbs, representing six large-scale Internet trends:

1. Screening
2. Interacting
3. Sharing
4. Flowing
5. Accessing
6. Generating

The Primary Verb = Sharing - Anything that can be shared will be shared.

This morning I came across an article that I had filed back in February in which Gartner highlights five long-term, overarching, and interdependent trends affecting the enterprise software industry:

• globalization
• implementation
• modernization
• socialization
• verticalization

It is not possible to compare the articles from the point of view of content as it would not be comparing apples with apples. Both are interesting in the environment to which they apply. However, from a linguistic angle it is interesting that Wired chooses verbs and Gartner prefers a suffix on the verb to give the noun which describes the act.

Vodafone Germany just announced its decision to launch of two devices under its own brand in the tablet market.

The operator said that the two tablets would be available to its German distribution channels in November but it declined to provide details on pricing or which hardware vendor was supplying the two devices.They said that the new Vodafone Smart Tab 7 (with a 7-inch screen) and Tab 10 (with 10-inch screen) will use the Android Version 3.2 Honeycomb operating system with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and memory of 1GB. The tablets will have internal storage of 16GB, which can be expanded via microSD card to 32GB. Full story.
