Fully agree with Bugmaster. Unfortunately, Stanislaw Lem is not very well known in the USA. Other than the things you mention he also predicted virtual reality. He is a great visionary and a great thinker, not just an SF writer.
Of course unification makes sense. There is plenty of software that is used globally (e.g. the browser that you are reading this in - would you want to create a different browser version for each country?).
Even just for Western languages Unicode obviates the need to deal with different codepages.
These exercises worked for me, too. I had backpain for over a month. A few days of practising the exercises, and the pain was gone. Since following McKenzies advice how to avoid backpain, I haven't had any problems.
I used the book by McKenzie "Seven steps to a pain-free life".
Carinasoft sells a very nice and powerful astronomy simulation software. Includes detailed planetary data as well as the complete Hipparcos star catalog to enable "virtual star voyages". Mac and Win versions.
