Tale of Two Tech Hubs: Silicon Glen & Chandiga
securitas writes "A pair of stories about two technology hubs in different parts of the world contrast and document their efforts to flourish as regional technological centers: Scotland's Silicon Glen and India's Chandigarh. The BBC explains that Silicon Glen is still struggling to recover from the technology bust with 15,000 jobs lost in the last year alone. 'Scotland's electronics sector contributes one-seventh of its gross domestic product, directly employs 45,000 workers, and accounts for more than half the country's exports,' which are down 50%. Meanwhile, the New York Times reports on northern India and the birth of a technology boom, as a group of government officials, consultants and high technology entrepreneurs is trying to transform the city of Chandigarh from a 'sleepy farm state capital into the "technology hub of northern India."' The city is competing with other Indian cities by offering 'lower labor costs than India's "first tier" technology hubs, places like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Bombay and Gurgaon, outside New Delhi.' As Chandigarh competes with its rivals for call centers and software development parks, some of those cities are experiencing a labor shortage of skilled workers. These aren't the only two places with such reversals of fortune - how does your region fare?"

morons WANdering about use of term interaction
for the most part, that appears to mean that you sheeples read the pitch, & hopefully pull out
yOUR wallets. that's your end of the 'interaction'.
other possible uses for the miracles of communication we've been given:
disempowering the unprecedented evile that is destroying the planet/population.
how does won login/become a member?
consult with/trust in yOUR creator. get more oxygen on yOUR brains. seek others of non-aggressive
intentions/behaviours.
couldn't be easier. what's blocking all this interaction/cooperation? why greed/fear based
misinformation canpains of course.
you NEVER hear of any corepirate deathmongers touting oxygen, even though it's the best thing for
you/us. perhaps there's no countabull profit in it. another possibility is the overwhelming fear
associated with knowing that a power that exceeds all known before, is in the wings/air.
we're in crisis mode. the lights are coming up. pay attention (to the weather for example). it's
affordable, & tends to help prevent being misled further.
TECH SUPPORT BOTHERS YOU!!!!
