Can computer gaming make you smarter?
moderator thinks: For those of us not involved in the gaming world...

MMORPG = massive multiplayer online role-playing game


Intrusive advertising
moderator thinks: This discussion was begun in direct response to negative criticism received from one of our online banner advertisements. Due to our automatic filtering system, several comments were moderated and, as a result, were removed from the site. This was not our intention. We will be placing the comments back on the site and encourage those who have seen the banner campaign to give us your feedback, positive or negative. We want you to have your say and help Philips create products and expereiences that simplify your life. Thank you for your contribution.

Is Technology boon or a beast?
Yun thinks: Only the Technology that can improve our lives is a boon...

Is Technology boon or a beast?
Jade thinks: Technology should benefit consumers, I agree that the products advanced by new technologies should be as simple to use as the "boxes" they come in with - I believe this is the mission of companies like Philips. There is no point if I have to spend time reading through that instruction *book* while I can read Harry Potter instead, is it?


Travelling lightly
newbie thinks: We should try to make use of what resources we have and use it to its maximum capacity to better our lives without much damage to the planet and its natural resources.

Out of control email inbox
JBonnin thinks: Hail to Gmail! Just a click and...

Hooray, no spam here! :)


Are newspapers and magazines a dying medium?
newman42 thinks: I've seen that the internet version of a newspaper or magazine has beome more of a supplement and not a replacement for the medium. I don't think the need to have a form of portable reading material will go away any time soon especially considering the resources needed for electronics versions and the difficulty of reading on a computer or other type of screen.

How can we avoid remembering passwords?
Glampner thinks: It's difficult to keep track of them all but iris scanning is scary sounding also.

I'm at a loss....

Registerin­g for this site wasn't easy, either. It took 3 times before I could read the security code through all the lines!


How can we avoid remembering passwords?
Redpebbles thinks: While we are waiting for a solution to be given to us by technology... For now I have a quick and dirty solution. I'm currently managing all my passwords and login details by using an excel sheet. I know it's not ideal nor safe, but at least I'm able to manage all of them without having to remember them all together ;-)


Inhabiting the Moon and Mars
jimyproton thinks: We should definitely inhabit other planets. Humans are at the top of the food chain, which means that they are the ones most affected by the extinction of other creatures. Think of the ecosystem as a huge pyramid. Each species is a block in the pyramid. When a species is extinct, a block is removed. Think about what happens when too many blocks are removed. The answer is quite simple: the pyramid will collapse. When the earth becomes over-crowded, only the fittest species will survive, which means that some species will die out. The earth is approaching overpopulation. It may be hard to see, but the effects of 7 billion people have a big impact on the earth's surface, especially since many people use way more resources than what they need. In order to produce more resources, humans need to free up land on which to grow them. Where do they put the former human inhabitants? The first solution is skyscrapers. There should be cities completely composed of superstructures, which can house millions of people. Once that is taken care of, move to the moon. Once that is taken care of, move to mars. Technology makes it possible to solve the problems with overpopulation, with the effects lasting for 100,000's of years.

The only problem is people who are not willing to move into crowded structures. Not everyone believes me, and in fact some of my readers are probably disagreeing with me right now. People are selfish, they want their own land, and they will destroy the earth to get what they want. They gather resources for themselves, not having any concern for other people who are dying due to the effects of the loss of resources. They are blind, and they refuse to see the ecosystem collapsing. There is no way to make everyone agree with this, so that is what the law is for. Call me Spartan, but if people refuse to see the ecosystem collapsing, other people should not have to suffer for it. Once technology has provided decent living standards in superstructures, people (except for farmers) should be forced to move into the structures in order to make room for the resources that they need. The only way to do this is for the nations of the earth to unite. However, that is never going to happen, and the human race is probably going to die out because of selfishness and dogmatism. Sin is a very bad thing, and the tortures it creates are horrible in every sense of the word. All we can do is pray that God will have mercy on the earth and unite its nations in technological advancements. I mean that, and we really do need to pray. Let's do it right now.


Managing contact lists
Aos thinks: I like to keep all my contacts within Gmail although this doesn't help when I change to a new cell phone. It's getting easier now that phones are equipped with data cables to interface with the computer, but there is still not a all-in-one solution that I have found to store all my contacts.

What's the biggest issue with tech today?
wicherbos thinks: Is it too many cables, to many remotes? YES!!!

Ever tried to connect a couple of items like digital TV receiver, TV, home cinema? You need to be a specialst, and at least end-up with 3 remote controls if you ever get it working.

So wait till set makers start producing what we want, in stead of what they invent
