technology

At the moment I'm reading a handy little book, made up of short introductions to the latest trends in thought and technology. Some of them I'm familiar with ('Citizen Journalism' is one of the entries for example), but many more are new, and I thought I'd share some of the most interesting, in alphabetical order.

As we deal with electricity problems, high food prices and climate change, many of us are hoping that life will return to normal as soon as possible. But I have a feeling we haven't fully realised how radically our world is changing, thanks to current developments. In a few years, 'normal' is likely to be something completely different from what we're used to now.
