In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto Michael Pollan See book keywords and concepts

After all, just in the last decade or two we've somehow found the time in the day to spend several hours on the Internet and the money in the budget not only to pay for broadband service, but to cover a second phone bill and a new monthly bill for television, formerly free. For the majority of Americans, spending more for better food is less a matter of ability than priority.

Tinnitus retraining programs: These involve counseling and using broadband noise exposure, a type of wavelength that we are commonly exposed to on a daily basis, to habituate a person to tinnitus. TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE Traditional Chinese medicine categorizes tinnitus into two common types: the first is due to excess heat in the liver and the second is due to deficiency in the kidney. Herbs: The herbs and patent herbal pills listed below are available from Chinese herbalists.

Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it Sue Palmer See book keywords and concepts

There are now a vast number of websites offering information, advice and even virtual counselling services or parenting courses - as long as you have broadband, it's never been easier to call on the instant advice of people who've been there before. As I trawled the web investigating these sites, I felt as though I was visiting a succession of 'wise men and women'. Instead of dispensing their wisdom from a cave on the edge of the village, they're now out there doing it via the Internet. Similarly, television is regularly used to spread good ideas and useful knowledge.

UNICEF MAGIC - media activities and good ideas by, with and for children) Mind the gap The positive side of life in the electronic village described on pages 266-270 applies mainly to wealthier families, the sort of people who would read this book, and probably have broadband access, sophisticated viewing habits and a high level of media literacy.

Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century Alex Steffen See book keywords and concepts

The prototype "green machine," unveiled in Tunisia at a United Nation's technology summit, runs on Linux software and sports a color LCD screen, 500-megahertz processor, wireless broadband, DVD drive, and 500 megabytes of flash memory. Mesh networking capability allows the machine to communicate with its nearest neighbors, creating an ad hoc local network. A hand crank allows users to charge the battery far away from the electrical grid. The goal for production models is for one minute of cranking to generate enough battery power for a hundred minutes of use.

As access to the Internet becomes more commonplace and broadband connectivity supports affordable worldwide multimedia distribution, our sense of who we are and how we relate is changing. Though mindshare is inherently limited, and new media outlets don't tend to gain mass audiences, a "long tail" of bloggers and multimedia users—as Wired magazine editor Chris Anderson calls it—is developing smaller, loyal audiences and becoming part of a global conversation. Media circulates through social networks with many dynamic nodes and connections, repeatedly shared rather than wholly consumed.

The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century James Howard Kunstler See book keywords and concepts

Or software? Or broadband? Or plastic? By extension, one would have to admit the possibility that scientific marvels await in the future that would be difficult for people of our time to imagine. Humankind may indeed come up with some fantastic method for running civilization on seawater, or molecular organic nanomachines, or harnessing the dark matter of the universe. But I'd argue that such miracles may lie on the far shore of the Long Emergency, or may never happen at all. It is possible that the fossil fuel efflorescence was a one-shot deal for the human race.
