There are many factors which are prompting this in SK. I am not a native but I have been residing in South Korea for 2 years.
-This place is the mecca of broadband internet access. I mean anywhere and everywhere in the country, everyone is connected at speeds that would humble first world nations. Not that SK isn't first world, economically they are, socially it's another story... -Everyone and their mother, uncle, step-sister uses IE explorer. Most Korean sites are designed for IE and don't work with any other browser. -The networks are dirty, before I had a physical firewall, ZoneAlarm was registering 1000+ intrusion attempts a day on my system.
Put your average mom and pop who don't know any better, in an online banking situation in this environment, and you are asking for disaster.
It will probably set a precedent for many online banking SOPs in the west.
For those idiot western media brainwashed idiots who don't know a thing about Korea, get a clue, nobody gives a damn about eating dogs or even hears about North Korea more than once a month here, just listen to your dear leader dog tell you who to attack next.
and where does bio-tech technology fall in all of this. Foret about only hardware driven machines. How will they interact with our bodies in 30 years. Just a thought. 30 years is a long time.
yes... and also for the people that are deprived of the anonimity of the internet and love going through those western style swigning doors to look at the goodies on the boxes
I have to agree and I am a little suspicious about the long term effects this will have on the wine industry, although the trend has been in this direction for the last few years. The homogenization of wine crops over an area and over time goes against everything that makes wine appreciation worthwile.
You could draw an analogy between wine and theater.
The theater differs from the movies in the way that the audience knows that they are assisting a unique event where there are subtle differences in the play and in the interaction with the audience each and every night, and where once in a while something totally stands out in the performance and makes it truly unique. Whereas at the movies, however good the movie may be, you can be assured that what you are seeing will be exactly the same as what everybody else will see, and if you see it again it will again be the same.
The same can be said about winemaking, some years a vineyard will produce a crop that has had more exposure to the sun, more rain, etc... Even the fruits and nuts which grow next to the grapes any given year will greatly affect its taste, this is what makes wine appreciation and comparison a delightful experience. The homogenized and controlled approach ressembles cinema in the way that it aims to deliver the same experience over and over again with the least variation.
I realized by monitoring your searching habits that we have sooo much in common...i too am an only child. i too have been a vegetarian since the age of 8. i too became a vegetarian because i saw a demonstration of laser surgey on a chicken at a medical conference with my father.
i too can speak fleuent Hebrew, French, and Japanese.
i too have hobbies such as : Dancing, Reading, Writing, Acting, Ice-skating
Can we please one day get together and watch Friends and Ellen together??
...is people who make mistakes in english when trying to write proper english. I often get email with spelling mistakes such as: forth instead of fourth, wich instead of which, parliment instead of parliament or suppose to instead of supposed to... and the list goes on and on.
Often this is from people who are well educated, PHDs and MBAs.
English isn't my first language and even I notice these errors.
Quite frankly I'd take L33T speak when appropriate and voluntary over spelling mistakes in common english.

With statements like that from their leader I'd hate to see what US govt officials have to say about embryo cell research and cloning...
