Continuity of care
pawn thinks: It looks like there's already a tool being developed to carry your medical history. Maybe it isn't a centralized tool, but it least it allows you to carry personal medical information with you at all times.

Can computer gaming make you smarter?
pawn thinks: This is a tough call because I believe both are valid. Gaming does increase a child's ability to problem solve although this is highly dependent on the game. On the other hand, playing computer games can also be a mindless waste of time. Again, I think it is all dependent on the game they are playing. Either way kids should be outside playing and not in front of a television or computer for hours on end.

Is cash necessary anymore?
pawn thinks: Take a look at the biometric payment systems used in Japan. The truth is both cash and credit cards may become a thing of the past sooner than we think.

Open source product design
pawn thinks: I think the things that Nokia has done with experience design is very useful since they make it an experience to use their products based on consumer trends, so in this way consumers are defining their needs while Nokia creates the bulk of the design based on those consumer insights. Nokia often delves into projects and allows both design students and the general public design cell phones (or"mobile computers as Nokia now calls them) that meet their particular needs.

Digital Rights Management, problem or solution?
pawn thinks: DRM is often times able to be bypassed days after it has been created. With software today, there is not protection that cannot be removed. That's why MP3s, files with no DRM capability, still thrive.

Sizes for clothes
ferraribabe thinks: My problem is with length. Why do some (particularly a number of Spanish high street ) stores insist on producing trousers in very long lengths for extremely tall people when most of the population are much shorter? I don't know anyone who can buy trousers from these chains without having to have them altered.

Sizes for clothes
Franq thinks: Buying clothes online becomes so much easier when there's a single standard. When it is based on something measurable, you can even complain successfully when an object is not the size it claimes to be.

Sizes for clothes
BigA thinks: I agree with Dreve. You would never get away with calling most Asian sizes xx-small, x-small, etc. while most American XXX-L, XXL, etc. just to have a uniform global standard. This would hurt too many peoples' egos. Size is more or less relative to your ethnic origin. Essentially it would upset too many people and be bad for the clothing business.

Sizes for clothes
Aos thinks: Reagardless of the size, all clothing comes in dofferent cuts, different fits and styles. The day when you can pull something off a shelf and have it fit perfectly will never come. Body styles are different all over the world. No sizing method could conform to all people throughout the world because of this.

Sizes for clothes
SacredVermin thinks: There are plenty of online converters. Still pretty annoying though... Call it an extension of metric. It isn't Americanisation, it's Globalisation.

Sizes for clothes
idesign thinks: Why is everyone so concerned about egos. Let's get real, if you're overweight, you know it and just because you buy a size 10 versus buying a 14 isn't going to change that you're overweight. Accounting for different cultures is an interesting point, but who said we had to use small, meduim, and large to identify sizes. Just use a numbering system. If anything, it would give people perpective on the diversity in the world today.

Sizes for clothes
AstridF thinks: I get confused by cloth size because I can be M in one brand and L in another. I don’t mind different standardization, if the size within in a standard was comparable.

Measures
SacredVermin thinks: I agree with lucien. Let's just hope that Mars lander impact fiascos are kept to a minimum. However, I find metric easier, even though I was brought up on imperial.
