plugs into the electrical system and a USB ( universal serial Bus ) modem
that creates the connection to the life force.

What is the quote on 20 year fixed term money ? Where do I go next ? How

The
Star Office 5.1 is a good example. It runs on open platforms and can be
updated, reconfigured to include sound and video telephones, and doesn't
need to be completely installed on every terminal but can run off the system
network.
In
doing web pages, Netscape Composer, MS FrontPage, and Star Office use different
forms of code, HTTP ( hypertext ) different Java scripts, and can mess
each other and the author up. Now since they ( Netscape ( AOL ) and
Sun - part of the NOISE group, Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun and everyone
else - ) are enemies they may intend to screw each other with the author
in the middle.
and
too many other changes that work here but not there - audio plug-ins, ActiveX,
virtual machines, XML, etc. Etc..
This
is why the complex stuff has to be up-stream on the server if the communications
systems can communicate with each other.

kind of device you are using ) and what you want - voice, e-mail, conference,
word processor, accounts, pay a bill, collect a bill etc.
The
standards have to be set by SOMEONE - it can’t be done by a voluntary committee
as in the good old non commercial days when the DOD and NSF controlled
the net. It can’t be done by government ( too slow ) IT has to be global
- the EU and Asia are involved - sometimes well ahead.
The
WWW system standard was set at CERN - and the UN or a global trade or international
postal telecommunications agreement could set up a fast working body the
approve PROTOCALS. Now MS does the global job but is clearly not neutral
or trustworthy, since it is worth a good share of the almost trillion dollars
in systems sales.

The
People's Liberation Army (PLA)is forging close ties with China's powerful
Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPT).
The
developing alliance, as a result of PLA's control over a sizeable portion
of the radio frequencies used in cellular communications, could eventually
create a third nationwide carrier.
The
PLA and MPT are currently laying the groundwork for a mobile phone network
that will be called the "Great Wall Network". It will use an advanced digital
standard called "code division multiple access" (CDMA). CDMA is the latest
U.S. digital standard, it provides higher capacity gains over current analog
systems than the global system for mobile communications (GSM). GSM is
the main European standard being currently implemented by the MPT and Unicom.

but
not clear to most reporters and observers. This is one way to visualize
what is happening.
There
are a new products call Web-TV, the network computer, advanced note books
with cell phone built in, and important advances in satellite communications,
Wideband / Broadband, cable modems and copper wire telephone services.
Imagine
you have a black box which provides universal communications services:
video telephone, Internet, fax, e-mail, cable TV, regular digital TV, CD
music and games, had digital storage in Zig-a-bites, and wireless modem
in 10 Meg-bits per second or better.
The
question is who is the Service Provider ?
Imagine
companies, schools, homes where instead of millions of PC the same black
box provides all the applications, data banks, on-site and computer home
workers at their work stations.
The
applications programs are downloaded with the data. A 10 Mb program takes
1 seconds to down load the functions being used at that moment.
The
program "runs" on the CPU of the black box, not time share terminal, but
is fully integrated with the wide area network and the Internet. Who provides
the software, systems management, data storage, and where is the server
?
It
could be the satellite companies who own the high ground and the critical
link in the whole system.
There
is the fight between Alcatel Alsthom 1/8ALSF.CN 3/8's Skybridge and Motorola's
Celestri to get bands to develop and compete against Microsoft's Teledesic,
which is backed by Boeing (BA.N).
These
become the first global telephone ( tele-communications ) company with
direct services to companies, and local service providers. MCI-World Com
-BT- ATT - DT -Sprint have to get into the Satellite Internet business
FAST or be replaced.
They
are behind using analog rather than digital systems they should have made
universal 20 years ago.
I don’t
see much future for WIRE including cable after 2000, and the growth markets
are in China,
The
USS -was, Eastern Europe, Latin America, which add up to double the number
of users and four times the amount traffic every 18 months at half the
cost per unit. "
For
technology , analysts said the trend within Asia could move towards
the personal computer as a cheaper, commonly available product.
"Malaysia,
Singapore and Hong Kong will probably lead the way as far as futuristic
technology into the next millennium, but I wouldn't count out very strong
IT investments in China," said Brian Kornegay, a senior personal computer
analyst at IDC. "

73 percent more, on average, than private-sector employees. Providers of
software services in particular, he said, are finding current economic
trends to be extremely favorable

The
main line press has caught-on to the power of the internet ? What wiredbrain
and others ( mainly Netscape, Oracle, ( considered to be a source of wise
counsel or prophetic opinions. b. An authoritative or wise statement or
prediction ) IBM, SunMicrosystems and the NOISE group ) have been talking
about since Netscape 1.0 and WINS connections - the virtual office and
the Network Computer has now arrived in the PC world.
"
The
new concept ( only to you ) goes by a variety of names: instant
Web office; virtual office; instant intranet; Web tone; Internet dial tone;
and so on.
The
idea is to provide everything a user needs on a central server. Users can
then access that server over the Internet with just a terminal and a phone
line.
Then
they "rent" Internet and intranet applications for as little as $10 to
$20 per person per month. (That's a fraction of the per-user cost of an
in-house intranet.)"
and
a box that cost 10 % of a PC work station ( $500 vs. $5,000 ) and doesn't

main frame, then the PC now the NC -
There
is now a immense industry we can call IT
“INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY”.
IT
now represents the critical modern enterprise growing to be a quarter of
all economic activity.
IT
is a greater engine for growth than railroads in the 19th century, oil
and chemical industries in the first half of this century. IT is equal
to the auto industry, which reached 25 % in the 1950s. “IT” like the auto
industry includes the hardware ( the computer or car), the infrastructure,
(communications and networks or the roads) the energy ( software or oil
) the services, ( consultants and staff or Gas Stations ) and parts ( modems,
drives, or car radios ). IT includes the computers ( the car ), the roads
( the telecom business ), services ( software ) and the social educational
infrastructure.
IT
provides
the web of life for modern enterprise - design, production, distribution,
sales, of goods and services. IT is the growth industry and in labor market.
There
are millions of new jobs and additional people needed world wide.
Unlike
the auto industry the IT business evolves quickly. New hardware computers
and chips, new methods of communications, new applications evolve quickly.
IT is quickly becoming one unified, highly complex living system on a global
basis.
The
whole is more than the sum of the parts - synergy that comes from elaborate
interactions.
There
are critical “flash point” - global telcom systems based on satellites
connect to earth stations that can use telephone lines including new high
bandwidth technologies, optic fiber, wireless broadband, and cable connections.
The
high bandwidth connections use improved modems to provide support for networks.
These
new networks provide what have been called telephones, television, personal
computers, and something new - beyond what now are common utilities.
The
common base system is the “browser”, which will provide all of the application
in a Java type objects - in a Video User Interface (VUI) using chips that
can handle digital TV and Digital Hard Drives for storage all as parts
of the new super modems.
IT
is why the DOJ Microsoft case is important. What was called the “operation
system” OS now becomes VUI, an interface between a “terminal” ( telephone,
TV, and PC = NC ) and a communications media.
The
interface uses program “packets” as well as content “packets” the operational
software is contained within the data .
The
difference between program and content no longer is significant. With bandwidth
the “word processor” is attached to the files and comes as an instant updated
package at the moment of use. This is Netscape’s, Oracle and others “vision”
and the real challenge to Microsoft.
A few
studies have been done on the effect of computers on learning, motor coordination
and even social skills, but they are missing the greater point.
The
Internet is an invention more like democracy, religion or mass transportation.
It affects us less as individuals than on our functioning as a society.

Information
Technology which is already our biggest business. IT, computers and telecommunication
is bigger than transportation, construction even government.
The
reason for growth without inflation is the major shift in the means of
production and distribution. Economic models based on physical assets and
goods ( agriculture, mining, manufacturing, wholesale and retail ) factory
utilization, inventory miss the big picture.
The
means of production are intellectual, distribution by services such as
educational, medical, financial, design, media, telecommunications, electrical,
and global relationships.
The
shift is from "objects" to "forms", from things to concepts and ideas.
A big shift. see

what is going on in China's telecom market. For the third year Information
Gatekeepers Inc. (IGI), in cooperation with the Telecommunications Industry

on China's telecommunications development. This year's conference will
put specific focus on the wireless and data communications markets in China.

Herb St. John's Wort has been know for it's psycho-somatic significance
for thousands of years. BUT, until, official scientific, controlled studies
proved that it is as effective and a lot safer than widely used and highly
profitable, expensive prescription drugs, Herbal treatments didn't officially
exist.
The
French and Germans "pharmacies" have always sold herbal alternatives.
Their
health plans have always paid for holistic care. Why ? Because they work
as well, are cheaper, and almost all medical complaints have psycho-somatic
complications.
Since
the late 1980's China and the Far East has doubled the growth rate of the
industrial West and Japan. North America is now second to the UC ( European

second to Europe's 25 %. Asia including Hong Kong and it's Empire in Southern

People's

and will begin to dominate politically, a vast part of the global economic
system in the early part of the next century. This perception of current
economic realties is almost completely absent in the west.
The
coverage of the Hong Kong transfer gave no idea of the Global power shifts.
Hong Kong, and the Cantonese industrial area, is now more politically and
economically significant than Great Britain. What accounts for the rapid
generation of wealth in Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China
?
The
official politically correct attitude has to do with actions of Government
leaders.
There
maybe something there but not much.. since various actions have had various
effects and there is not a clear, documented and proven policies for economic
development. Otherwise, the Aid Agencies and the World Bank could do more
good than harm. Planning, MITI, Economic liberalism is touted in where
it doesn't exist, in Singapore, freedom described as a cause of economic
development, in clearly undemocratic authoritarian states such as Taiwan,
Indonesia, Malaysia, etc. Maybe it's not political but technological...
We
have hear about the globalization of banking due to improved communications.
After banking comes shipping, and original equipment manufacture, (OEM)
where parts can be designed, manufactured and assembled on a global scale.
China has grown on the low wage industries, stuff toys and cotton goods,
but that kind of development. As it was in Japan doesn't do a whole lot
and is slow.
China
is not slow, but its going at the speed of light, technology transfer doesn't
take generations but seconds.
The
other secret is a long tradition of learning, respect, cooperation, and
internal order - harmony - balance - is the highest value.

Also individual firms are often members of a semi-formally organized
trans-industrial network organization called "firm
groups" or "(horizontal) keiretsu ," usually
with a bank or a trading company as the leader or the main "care-taker."
Another
example of a business network organization is the so-called "vertical keiretsu,"
composed of a big firm and its subsidiaries and/or subcontractors.
There
also are a series of "trans-world" network organizations, formally or semi-formally
institutionalized, which connect individual industrial "worlds" to organizations
belonging to other "worlds": political, mass media, academic, consumer's
unions etc., all mediated by concerned governmental offices.
Its
most representative form is that of legally established "councils" (
shingikai ) both on national and local levels. A council usually has
a large number of sub-councils, sectional meetings, small committees, etc.
each specializing in one particular area or problem. Also there are less
formal (not established by law) and thus "private" counselling groups or
study groups for ministers, chiefs of bureaus, etc., again with their numerous
sub-committees.
The
members of such organizations consist of former officials of concerned
ministries; representatives of relevant industrial associations, labor
unions, or consumer groups; and other learned or respected figures (scholars,
journalists, etc.).
The
concerned government department acts as secretariat.
These
groups are typical network organizations in that they regularly meet, their
members and the secretariat bringing in information to be shared by all.
They
use this information to obtain a common perception of the present conditions
surrounding them both at home and abroad, as well as to forecast future
trends, and to reach overall consensus on how the public and private sectors
in question should respond to those environmental conditions, especially
to their changes.
The
final conclusion of such joint discussions is usually confirmed in the
form of a document (often called the "vision" for a certain industry).

especially one in which scientific and technological change has a strong,
adverse impact on social, political, and economic structures: "This brave
new world of science . . . offered broader opportunities for greater success
to more people. At the same time, it scarred those who could not reap its
benefits" (W. Bruce Lincoln). [After Brave New World, title of a novel

The
neurological biochemical model of the nervous system, information and response,
is to foster a dynamic interaction within a changing environment. To see
what you need to see, to hear what you need to hear, to feel what you need
to feel and react quickly.
The
Internet mass communications business is just that, the electrical and
chemical transmitters for global business and social interactions. How
can it help everyone be more effective at doing what they do and do what
they have never even dreamed of doing. ~ I was struck by the idea that
every company has a style fixed where it was founded.
The
railroads did not move into trucks or airplanes because they did not define
themselves as in the transportation business but as organizations that
ran railroads.
They
carry their 19'th century management climate into the present. IBM has
the flavor of the 1950's, Mr. Watson Sr. didn't want to do computers, just
provide office machines, Jr. was allowed to try. Office products and sales/service
continued to dominate IBM. Microsoft, Netscape, G.E., NBC, AT&T, the
cable companies, the media giants, Time/Warner, McGraw Hill group, don't
really know what business they are in and for good reason. It is more than
doing what we now do better, stronger, higher and faster but do new things
we have never done before. Forbearance is required. ~

than the " powers to be" hedging it all and setting the rules to benefit
themselves. Sharing, empathy, honest, liberty, equality, in the division
of the spoils are functional attitudes vs. greed, uncaring, anti-social,
