The whole notion that we'd have a world's fair is among the inaccurate predictions? There still are world fairs. Just the name was modernized. The EXPO 2017 will be in Astana.
As a counter argument perhaps you don't want a fighter pilot firing a missile without actually looking at the control to do so;-)~ So touchscreens in cars are ok for the roof mounted missile launcher!
I think it's exactly the opposite. You don't want the pilot to lose focus to look at some controls in a fast-paced combat environment. That's why HOTAS was invented.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOTAS
This experiment is already done on a much wider scale . - whit the EU and the US as experimental subjects, so to speak. One banning the use of antibiotics for growth enhancement, and one doesn't. A natural experiment, if you want. And there have been pages upon pages of written summaries, reports, studies, etc on the topic, and comparisons, and what not. There even is a transatlantic study group, TATFAR, and here is a visual summary detailing the EU efforts: http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/press/news/130516a.htm
EU legislation on animal nutrition banned the use of antibiotics used for growth promotion in animal feed from January 2006. In 2009 the Panel on Biological Hazards assessed the public health significance of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in animals and foods. It concludes that livestock-associated MRSA represents only a small proportion of all reported MRSA infections in the EU with significant differences between Member States.
So the conclusion seems to be that bannin growth enhancing antibiotic use is a crucial step in preventing the rise of resistant microbiota in those conditions, but (of course) not enough to stop the evolution of resistant strains in, for example hospital environments...
But automation and machines do have changed the structure and efficiency of agriculture and landscape. And greatly reduced the percentage of people working in this sector.
German magazine "Neon", for young adults, maybe every other month. Then "Laborjournal", a free publication about biology-related stuff. And sometimes a American magazine "Esquire". None of the three really regularly, but sometimes I like to look at something else than the screen, and they're a nice distraction in the garden or or the train.
We are not talking about plants, or animals, here, but probably bout some kind of precursor to cyanobacteria, which are commonly called blue-green algae, and also occur in stromatolithes.
I'd like to say: engineering,machine-building, mechanical engineering. Advanced toolmaking. Production of investition goods. But china is already a competition in high-skilled fields, even for germany. And there is not a lot of money to be made in the creative industries. Basic and applied research?
A system like this, operated by the Deutsche Post in Germany, is working since over a year. Works like a charm.
Fast & Reliable. Almost, but not entirely, unlike Slasdot editors.
That's true for a lot of autobahnen in Germany. France, Spain, Italy and Austria, for example, have general speed limits, and also a Toll on motorways, while Germany has (as of now) still no toll for private cars (PKW) under 3,5 metric tons on highways.
I'll have to get one at the end of the year, but don't want to. Why can't they make this new passport scheme opt-out?
People can - and most probably will - sniff my ID via RFID;
I just don''t see ANY advantages this new passport RFID will bring for me.
I'm on my way to a PhD in ecology, but would have been happy with an Associate Degree if it just could land me a job in research, I'm not brave enough to try an Ed Ricketts-like stunt on my own.
Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is the name of a rather recently created german law. I wonder if the english parliament or the senat in washington can top this.
Not On-Topic but needs to be mentioned: "Check out some of the excellent scientific software around.":
Thank heavens for primer3! free and usable; but nothing kids will need.

Might also be the electric heating.

Don't some people use a loud whistle to discourage unwanted callers?
Maybe you are right, but there is a guy who did a toaster from scratch: www.thetoasterproject.org
Is it worth the money?
Doesn't look to fancy. Simplicity can be very expensive.
Terry Pratchett made a good point on this with the "Pork Futures Warehouse"
Is there a big difference to AGM-129 or AGM-86 ? No pilot riding along.

My father did collect paper bags; and there is even a paper bag museum in germany, he gave some of his collection for it.
thanks for the laugh
