DenOfEarth writes "The Economist has published a series of articles detailing some of the issues facing our current society and the technological leaps and bounds that are leading to the future internet society. They include: Protection of Privacy, Constant internet connectivity, Copyright 's Role in the Future, Technology-based Democratic Process, Government Authority, and Social and Political Ramifications. There's a good deal of information to waste one's time with here, but some good discussion is bound to come out of it."

Re:Didn't Sony already develop the x-ray camera? by Knobby · 2003-01-24 10:57 · Score: 4, Informative

Sort of.. The SONY camera measured light in the IR spectrum and used that to enhance the images in low-light situations. If you enabled this option during the day, it would allow you to "see through clothes".. Of course, we're not talking about detail.. Just large scale features..
