In contrast to the conclusion of Connections, in which Burke said that computing and communications might be controlled by a computer science élite, in the conclusion of The Day the Universe Changed he suggested that a worldwide revolution in communications and computer technology would allow people to instantaneously exchange ideas and opinions. Burke has also been a regular writer for Scientific American and Time, and a consultant to the SETI project. Burke has received the gold and the silver medals of the Royal Television Society. In 1998 he was made an honorary fellow of the Society for Technical Communication.[3] Television series and documentaries by James Burke:

San Francisco-based startup Coin may not have launched yet, but it has created a hardware platform that others can use to build their own products in the process of developing its own.

Coin Debuts Arduino-Based Bluetooth Low Energy Development Kit With iBeacons Potential

Today, Coin announced that it will offer up an Arduino Bluetooth Low Energy module that’s designed to be small and easy to integrate into hardware hacks and products of all kinds. The $22 kit includes an Arduino-BLE board and 6-pin header that should be fairly broadly applicable for building Arduino-based hardware that can communicate with iOS devices. That means you’ll be able to talk to Apple’s new iBeacons service, which uses BLE to perform a number of functions, including ones that people normally associate with NFC like tap-based payments, in theory. The applications are many: there are tons of devices like Tile that use BLE to serve lost-and-found functions, for instance, and increasingly health and fitness wearables employ the low power tech.

Everything from beverages to commodes--and a staggering list of other products you might never imagine as global merchandise--are fair game for the savvy trader and are bought, sold, represented, and distributed somewhere in the world on a daily basis. As an exporter, you'll act as a middleperson, selling various domestic goods for American manufacturers or producers to foreign buyers.

The Market Your customers can be producers or manufacturers of any domestic goods you care to target. Needed Equipment All you need to get up and running are a computer system, a laser printer and a fax machine. 3D printing. An ORDbot Quantum 3D printer. 3D printing or additive manufacturing[1] is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D printing is achieved using an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes.[2] 3D printing is also considered distinct from traditional machining techniques, which mostly rely on the removal of material by methods such as cutting or drilling (subtractive processes).

Artisanal mining

They are not officially employed by a mining company, but rather work independently, mining or panning for gold using their own resources. Small-scale mining includes enterprises or individuals that employ workers for mining, but generally working with hand tools. Artisanal miners often undertake the activity of mining seasonally – for example crops are planted in the rainy season, and mining is pursued in the dry season. However, they also frequently travel to mining areas and work year round. An estimated 13 - 20 million men, women, and children from over 50 developing countries are directly engaged in the artisanal mining sector[1] Beam Your Health Up.
