Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Nordic and East Asia, Korea. they are high record to IT industry index kind of telecom, internet, computers and socializing, etc. And the advancement of their country is at the forefront of globalization too. According to IDC analysis of the Information Society Index in south Korea is ranked 8. Looking for IDC, although there national information index of the material is about 2004. but Information Index of the world figured out you can see at a glance. Nowdays, Korea’s trade surplus in the information technology sector reached a record of $7.2 billion last month. I think Korea's major export factor is the high-tech IT industries. However, these industries are sensitive to the changes and they should be a pioneer in the market. it is unstable and anxious in country economy. Galaxy S which led by Samsung are competing in the smart phone market. and I use I phone by apple. Related to the emotional part of the design and marketing are leading in the Apple. At least for me. Is there someone like steve jobs and bill gates in Korea?
----------------------------------------------------- Korea’s trade surplus in the information technology sector reached a record of $7.2 billion last month, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy said yesterday. IT exports rose 17.4 percent to $14.1 billion from a year ago, and imports jumped 22 percent to $6.9 billion. The previous surplus record had been set in August at $7.01 billion. IT exports hit a record high last month, breaking the previous record of $13.6 billion set in July. Total IT exports from January to October were $127.4 billion.
The volume of semiconductor exports increased 33 percent year-on-year in October to $4.6 billion. Cell phone exports also posted growth of 2.1 percent for the first time this year. Exports of computer and related components increased 11.1 percent on-year to $730 million, led by more exports of personal computers. By region, exports to the United States jumped 42.2 percent to $1.93 billion, boosted by higher demand for cell phones, which increased 40 percent year-on-year.
The 22 percent increase in Korea’s IT imports to $6.9 billion was mainly led by domestic demand for electronics components (up 17 percent), computer and related devices (up 26.3 percent) and cell phones (up 93.3 percent). Imports increased mainly from China, Singapore and Taiwan. “Though the current surge in the volume of Korea’s IT exports is expected to slow due to concerns on stagnant economic conditions of major IT trading countries ... growth is to continue as exports of cell phones, mainly led by smartphones, is on a recovery trend,” the ministry said. ------------------------------------------------------
3. Today, many countries of the world suffer from financial crisis. the problem of financial crisis is no longer limited to one country. And, the world has grown so inter-dependent. therefore it's apparent that simple solutions of one country in the corporate world doesn’t really mean anything. many countries of the world tried to balance economy of world by helping developing countries to overcome financial crisis of the world. In the further, the world become more and more integrated. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The leaders of the Group of 20 on Friday identified the pressing need to close the gap with less-advanced counterparts, perceiving it as a vital component in buoying the global economy.
“Leaders focused on how to promote balanced growth globally while narrowing the development gap and reducing poverty,” the G20 organizers said as the Seoul summit closed after a two-day run.
“By encouraging investment in emerging economies, the G20 can facilitate resilient growth domestically and globally.”
The promotional tagline for the Seoul summit was to pursue balanced and sustainable growth as the world faces the challenges of a new global economic order in the wake of the financial crisis triggered by the Lehman Brothers’ collapse in 2008 An increasing number of national and corporate leaders have been calling for the more advanced nations to help the low income countries by increasing their volume of trade and investment in order to breed sustainable growth.
For Seoul, the development agenda was particularly close to heart as it was a pet project pursued by President Lee Myung-bak for this round of the G20 summit.
Along with creating a financial safety network to shore up global economic capacity to fight and prevent crises, the Seoul government sought to help better represent the under-represented.
Itself an emerging-market country, Seoul said it was prepared to share its own know-how at the conference.
The move to collectively address global economic challenges emerged in the years after the 2008 financial meltdown. The crisis reminded world leaders that the world has grown so inter-dependent that governments could not afford to see any single country suffer from financial problems, President Lee said throughout the G20 forum. ---------- site : http://www.koreaherald.com/business/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20101112000784

The visualisation of inequalities on the Internet has become a problematic issue in the informational world of which infrastructure is based upon the invisible while industrious or agricultural societies were made up noticeable bases.

However, this article shows that their expectation is incorrect by overlooking influences of the actual social status on individual's informational section which will be described on the following article. Then what could be proper solution for getting rid of the inequalities on the Internet? I truly want you to think about this matter seriously. ____ More Britons than ever have access to the internet, but inequalities remain between those with high and low incomes, official figures show.

1. Cho Mi Ryung 2. About Social Network Service 3. SNS is the concept of a social community brought online, and helps users form a network through individuals creating relationships and contact with each other. Thus, it could be referred to as an online network support service, i.e. a social network. Facebook, the world's largest SNS, has accumulated over two hundred million users, as at April 2009, and has rapidly developed its aid in social function. Here, professionals in business all over the globe can form connections with each other in everyday communication through this virtual space. Additionally social problems, such as invasion of privacy, are spreading at alarming rates through SNS. As Internet and SNS use is increasing, personal information spreads on a wider scale, and situations where individuals' privacy is threatened are worsening.
3. I still love the smell of old books from libraries, but now the rise of digital books and online retailing was upending book publishing‘s business model. Because publishers facing higher costs and less revenue were signing fewer authors and bookstores were vanishing. I can read books on any device, anywhere, all the time, through the world is changing and authors have to find ways to eat.
-----------
NEW YORK -- About a year ago, Mary Ann Naples had a holy-cow moment. If she‘d been a cartoon character, she would have smacked her forehead until stars came out.
She was standing atop an escalator at Book Expo America, the publishing world’s spring jamboree in New York, surveying a convention hall of sullen faces. Many of the 30,000 booksellers, publishers, authors and agents were looking like well-heeled passengers on a leaky cruise ship.
The rise of digital books and online retailing was upending book publishing‘s business model. Publishers facing higher costs and less revenue were signing fewer authors; advances and royalties were declining; and bookstores were vanishing, leaving big American cities such as Laredo, Texas, without a single one.
And not least among the sky-is-falling signs, it was tougher to persuade a book editor, here in America’s publishing capital, to buy lunch, never mind underwrite a book party for an established author.
Although everyone agrees stories need to be told and distributed -- most still through words in the form of sentences that make paragraphs that make chapters -- the industry remains uncertain about future ways to turn a profit.
Naples‘ escalator epiphany was that authors couldn’t rely on publishers and agents to sort out the future. They had to harness the Internet on their own, to find new ways not only to draw audiences but also to keep them, and make money at it too. She‘d observed how musicians were sidestepping the major labels by using online tools to connect with and sell their music directly to fans.
“There’s something through direct selling that can make a difference in an author‘s career,” she remembered thinking that day.
3. The interesting is that a number of people recognize the danger of cellphones electromagnetic waves to our bodies, they don't pay much attention when use devices, so don't I. Maybe it is because its effectiveness is not visible and doesn't yield serious outcomes instantly. While we are unconscious of as it is, our brain is getting damaged very much. keep a distance from it for your life.
------------------
4. WARNING: Holding a cellphone against your ear may be hazardous to your health. So may stuffing it in a pocket against your body.
I’m paraphrasing here. But the legal departments of cellphone manufacturers slip a warning about holding the phone against your head or body into the fine print of the little slip that you toss aside when unpacking your phone. Apple, for example, doesn’t want iPhones to come closer than 5/8 of an inch; Research In Motion, BlackBerry’s manufacturer, is still more cautious: keep a distance of about an inch.
The warnings may be missed by an awful lot of customers. The United States has 292 million wireless numbers in use, approaching one for every adult and child, according to C.T.I.A.-The Wireless Association, the cellphone industry’s primary trade group. It says that as of June, about a quarter of domestic households were wireless-only.
If health issues arise from ordinary use of this hardware, it would affect not just many customers but also a huge industry. Our voice calls — we chat on our cellphones 2.26 trillion minutes annually, according to the C.T.I.A. — generate $109 billion for the wireless carriers.
1.Yun Yeon Jung 2.Digital welding boosts shipbuilding 3.Especially, korea has top skill to shipbuilding. And also now, we try to digital welding boosts in shipbuilding. It is really awsome! We are headed to make shipbuilding with digital skills. If it is success, It will be quite amazing. Certainly, It can cause lots of benefits to us. And also if possible, Digital systeam can help shipbuilding more safety. It can give more perfect system to shipbuilding system. Surely, It will be helped all of area.
----------------------------------- In a move to cut costs and raise productivity, Hyundai Heavy Industries is expected to become the first shipbuilder in the world to adopt digital welding processes in shipbuilding.
Korea’s leading shipbuilder said yesterday that the digital welding will gradually be applied starting next year.
By 2015 all welding process will be digitalized.
The company said the digital welding process will improve productivity by 20 percent, reducing 1 million manpower hours on welding every year.
The manpower savings would result in the building of five additional 300,000-ton very large crude carriers.
The company said this would also result in cost savings of more than 100 billion won.
The digital welding process standardizes the quality of the welding instead of depending on the individual skills of welders.
Information about voltage and electric currents involved in the welding process appears on a LCD display.
“With the digital welding system, anyone can become a skilled expert whatever their past skill and experience,” said Kim Hyun-cheol at Hyundai Heavy Industries.
“This is an innovative technology that will change shipbuilding,” he added.
1. Park Cheong mi 2. I study SNS 3. Recetly I study using SNS. One of them is Facebook. Facebook is hard for me. I don't know why people do it so far. But many people say it. It become the center of taking. So I feel that if I don't know it, I seem like being behind in trend. I feel that Facebook is not interesting but duty, not yet. So I try to study facebook. I hope to know the interesting of it. ------------------------- LG Uplus and global social networking giant Facebook signed an agreement Wednesday to cooperate further on developing mobile services, aiming to strengthen communication for customers.
In a press conference in downtown Seoul, LG Uplus said it will offer customers its smartphone and feature phone subscribers the use of the Facebook mobile application for free until April next year.
“We will enable our customers to use the social networking service without having them spend any of their data distributed accordingly to the monthly payment plan for the following six months,” said Kim Cheol-soo, executive vice president of convergence project team at LG Uplus. Facebook by sending them to #2665. They will automatically receive any messages sent to them on Facebook through text messages.
“We’re very excited to be bringing these core mobile products, giving access to the mobile social web with LG Uplus,” said Alison Rosenthal, head of mobile business development at Facebook.
This is the first time Facebook has formed a partnership with a local mobile carrier. KT offered the social networking service for its feature phone users before, but had yet to sign an agreement with the U.S. company.
“We’ve created the partnership by having a joint taskforce work together for the past three months,” said Kim. “We’re planning to provide an array of services in the near future by establishing a joint team between the two companies.” ---------------------- http://www.koreaherald.com/business/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20101103000802
3. Through the computer and mobile phone, we can talk to each other. But chat and text message can't show the speaker's emotion and a tone. So, they use emoticon such as 'ㅋㅋ, ^^ etc.' and write as the sound. Emoticon shows speaker's emotion and phonetic writing shows their tone. If you don't use this emoticon, you would hear that "Are you angry?". When I didn't use emoticon, I have heard "You looks bad." But I was fine. And in order to write faster, we use abbreviation and make new word. It is comfortable and easy to use. But this phenomena have led to the destruction of language. They use this language not only cyber world but also real world.
-------------------------------------------------
Destruction of language of young people is getting worse day by day in the internet chat room or online games and text messages. Especially slang, various emoticons, onomatopoeia, mimetic word are using without filtration. It is concerned that the destruction of language overstep the bounds. They can more use the emoticon, abbreciation and slang than standard language because this language is more fun and easy. But standard language's identity is shook because of this phenomena. Experts said, 'if young people use distorted language with limited groups continuously, it can lead to disabled to communication with other groups.
1. Jeong SoRa 2. EMR; Electronic Medical Record is shared between all over the world. 3. EMR means substitute electronic charts for paper charts. That is to computerize all kinds of records related patients such as health conditions, medical history, prescription etc. Until now, medical records of patients have shared only in the hospital patients receive treatment. But, within 10 years, It will be shared in whole world. I can't sure that if it is indeed good to people. We have no choice to share my personal information. For example, suppose this situations. there is a man. One of his parent may be AIDS, But He have not been given HIV virus. He doesn't want inform his medical history of family. Its exposure could spoil his life from love affair to job. Of course, Its information is under the control to protect. But, if is exposed, it would be more serious problem than paper charts. Because it pervade not just one hospital, but also hospital in everywhere as many as possible. I think network is not always positive. It have both sides. 4. ---------------------------------------------------------
Chief of HIMSS says within 10 years, real time medical service will come true. America have the plan to invest 30 billion dollar to increase the compatibility of electronic medical records. Over 80% of Hospitals and Doctors in America may be participate in sharing medical records. So it is expected the change of medical circumstance all over the world. Korea wins the standard of HIMSS to practical use. This makes possible to medical management wherever you are.
HIMSS : The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) is the healthcare industry's membership organization exclusively focused on providing global leadership for the optimal use of healthcare information technology (IT) and management systems for the betterment of healthcare. Founded in 1961 with offices in Chicago, Washington D.C., Brussels, and other locations across the United States and Europe, HIMSS represents more than 20,000 individual members and over 300 corporate members that collectively represent organizations employing millions of people. HIMSS frames and leads healthcare public policy and industry practices through its advocacy, educational and professional development initiatives designed to promote information and management systems’ contributions to ensuring quality patient care.

1. Kim heejun 2. Cloud computing to dispel rainy days of elderly 3. For aging societies, including South Korea’s, cloud computing may play a pivotal role as the latest trend to change the daily lives of senior citizens and to secure more business opportunities. Cloud computing refers to Internet-enabled processing where shared resources, software and information are offered to computers on demand over the Web, instead of dedicated ones.
It is like using computing resources and software as much as a corporation or individual clients would want just as they use tap water. Hence, the costs are calculated on a pay-as-you-go format. ----------------------- Thatcher said MS has seen a ``substantial increase’’ in awareness of its cloud strategies and the company’s newfound ``all-in’’ cloud strategy creates a tendency to incorporate more and more online functionality into its offerings.
The industry-wide transition to cloud computing is expected to dominate much of the technology world with data centers springing up wherever energy is provided at inexpensive prices.
``From a consumer’s standpoint, MS has been using many types of cloud applications for years. Much of today’s e-mailing and chatting are already transacted through the cloud via hotmail or gmail. The results, so far, have been satisfactory,’’ the executive said. ``We’ve made a clear choice that this is a business.’’
Recently, the issue of how security services are provisioned and delivered has emerged as organizations are briskly moving away from virtualized servers in the data center to private cloud computing environments.
By pointing out ``privacy’’ and ``security’’ as the top two words for security-related matters, Thatcher said software is currently being maintained and secured by MS and he is positive that the company guarantees 99.9 percent reliability. He said that the company works in a responsible way to prevent any leak of personal information and has been checking the status of its cloud computing users.
U-Prove is one of the system MS boasts of. The system employs cryptographic technology, making possible the issuance and presentation of cryptographically protected claims in a matter involving multi-party security.
When asked of the impact of the ongoing competition on its rivals such as Google, Amazon and even Apple in various cloud computing-related areas, Thatcher said Microsoft has already differentiated itself as an authoritative player in the ``public cloud computing market.’’.
While MS claims a sizable number of users for its cloud-based services _ Windows Azure has around 10,000 users and some 20 percent of the virtualization market _ those steps have yet to contribute significantly to the company’s bottom lines, still mostly affected by its traditional on-premises offerings.
MS hopes to further expand its business partnerships with Korean companies particularly telecom operators like SK Telecom, KT and LG Uplus, which are injecting more of their key resources to strengthening cloud computing businesses as they become next-generation growth drivers.
The MS executive said his firm has been maintaining healthy partnerships with Korean entities interested in the potential-loaded segment even though he declined to specify their names. ----------------------- http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2010/11/129_76116.html

1.IT trade surplus sets new record
ReplyDelete2.LEE Hak Rin
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Nordic and East Asia, Korea. they are high record to IT industry index kind of telecom, internet, computers and socializing, etc. And the advancement of their country is at the forefront of globalization too.
According to IDC analysis of the Information Society Index in south Korea is ranked 8. Looking for IDC, although there national information index of the material is about 2004. but Information Index of the world figured out you can see at a glance.
Nowdays, Korea’s trade surplus in the information technology sector reached a record of $7.2 billion last month. I think Korea's major export factor is the high-tech IT industries. However, these industries are sensitive to the changes and they should be a pioneer in the market. it is unstable and anxious in country economy.
Galaxy S which led by Samsung are competing in the smart phone market. and I use I phone by apple. Related to the emotional part of the design and marketing are leading in the Apple. At least for me. Is there someone like steve jobs and bill gates in Korea?
-----------------------------------------------------
Korea’s trade surplus in the information technology sector reached a record of $7.2 billion last month, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy said yesterday.
IT exports rose 17.4 percent to $14.1 billion from a year ago, and imports jumped 22 percent to $6.9 billion. The previous surplus record had been set in August at $7.01 billion.
IT exports hit a record high last month, breaking the previous record of $13.6 billion set in July. Total IT exports from January to October were $127.4 billion.

Exports of computer and related components increased 11.1 percent on-year to $730 million, led by more exports of personal computers.
By region, exports to the United States jumped 42.2 percent to $1.93 billion, boosted by higher demand for cell phones, which increased 40 percent year-on-year.
The 22 percent increase in Korea’s IT imports to $6.9 billion was mainly led by domestic demand for electronics components (up 17 percent), computer and related devices (up 26.3 percent) and cell phones (up 93.3 percent). Imports increased mainly from China, Singapore and Taiwan.
“Though the current surge in the volume of Korea’s IT exports is expected to slow due to concerns on stagnant economic conditions of major IT trading countries ... growth is to continue as exports of cell phones, mainly led by smartphones, is on a recovery trend,” the ministry said.

Today, many countries of the world suffer from financial crisis. the problem of financial crisis is no longer limited to one country. And, the world has grown so inter-dependent. therefore it's apparent that simple solutions of one country in the corporate world doesn’t really mean anything. many countries of the world tried to balance economy of world by helping developing countries to overcome financial crisis of the world. In the further, the world become more and more integrated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The leaders of the Group of 20 on Friday identified the pressing need to close the gap with less-advanced counterparts, perceiving it as a vital component in buoying the global economy.
“Leaders focused on how to promote balanced growth globally while narrowing the development gap and reducing poverty,” the G20 organizers said as the Seoul summit closed after a two-day run.
“By encouraging investment in emerging economies, the G20 can facilitate resilient growth domestically and globally.”
The promotional tagline for the Seoul summit was to pursue balanced and sustainable growth as the world faces the challenges of a new global economic order in the wake of the financial crisis triggered by the Lehman Brothers’ collapse in 2008
An increasing number of national and corporate leaders have been calling for the more advanced nations to help the low income countries by increasing their volume of trade and investment in order to breed sustainable growth.
For Seoul, the development agenda was particularly close to heart as it was a pet project pursued by President Lee Myung-bak for this round of the G20 summit.
Along with creating a financial safety network to shore up global economic capacity to fight and prevent crises, the Seoul government sought to help better represent the under-represented.
Itself an emerging-market country, Seoul said it was prepared to share its own know-how at the conference.
The move to collectively address global economic challenges emerged in the years after the 2008 financial meltdown.
The crisis reminded world leaders that the world has grown so inter-dependent that governments could not afford to see any single country suffer from financial problems, President Lee said throughout the G20 forum.

ReplyDelete2.U.K net use grows despite digital inequalities.
3. The visualisation of inequalities on the Internet has become a problematic issue in the informational world of which infrastructure is based upon the invisible while industrious or agricultural societies were made up noticeable bases. Some of people may think that the novel civilisation would abolish the partiality with believing that it does totally depend upon individuals' will to obtain useful tips on the web. However, this article shows that their expectation is incorrect by overlooking influences of the actual social status on individual's informational section which will be described on the following article. Then what could be proper solution for getting rid of the inequalities on the Internet? I truly want you to think about this matter seriously.
____
More Britons than ever have access to the internet, but inequalities remain between those with high and low incomes, official figures show.
Of those, 96% of the highest 10% of earners were online, compared to little more than one-quarter of the lowest 10%.

ReplyDelete2. About Social Network Service
3. SNS is the concept of a social community brought online, and helps users form a network through individuals creating relationships and contact with each other. Thus, it could be referred to as an online network support service, i.e. a social network.
Facebook, the world's largest SNS, has accumulated over two hundred million users, as at April 2009, and has rapidly developed its aid in social function. Here, professionals in business all over the globe can form connections with each other in everyday communication through this virtual space. Additionally social problems, such as invasion of privacy, are spreading at alarming rates through SNS.
As Internet and SNS use is increasing, personal information spreads on a wider scale, and situations where individuals' privacy is threatened are worsening.

ReplyDelete2. New trend in Internet-age publishing
3. I still love the smell of old books from libraries, but now the rise of digital books and online retailing was upending book publishing‘s business model. Because publishers facing higher costs and less revenue were signing fewer authors and bookstores were vanishing. I can read books on any device, anywhere, all the time, through the world is changing and authors have to find ways to eat.
-----------
NEW YORK -- About a year ago, Mary Ann Naples had a holy-cow moment. If she‘d been a cartoon character, she would have smacked her forehead until stars came out.
She was standing atop an escalator at Book Expo America, the publishing world’s spring jamboree in New York, surveying a convention hall of sullen faces. Many of the 30,000 booksellers, publishers, authors and agents were looking like well-heeled passengers on a leaky cruise ship.
The rise of digital books and online retailing was upending book publishing‘s business model. Publishers facing higher costs and less revenue were signing fewer authors; advances and royalties were declining; and bookstores were vanishing, leaving big American cities such as Laredo, Texas, without a single one.
And not least among the sky-is-falling signs, it was tougher to persuade a book editor, here in America’s publishing capital, to buy lunch, never mind underwrite a book party for an established author.
Although everyone agrees stories need to be told and distributed -- most still through words in the form of sentences that make paragraphs that make chapters -- the industry remains uncertain about future ways to turn a profit.
Naples‘ escalator epiphany was that authors couldn’t rely on publishers and agents to sort out the future. They had to harness the Internet on their own, to find new ways not only to draw audiences but also to keep them, and make money at it too. She‘d observed how musicians were sidestepping the major labels by using online tools to connect with and sell their music directly to fans.
“There’s something through direct selling that can make a difference in an author‘s career,” she remembered thinking that day.

ReplyDelete2. Let cellphones keep a distance from yourself
3. The interesting is that a number of people recognize the danger of cellphones electromagnetic waves to our bodies, they don't pay much attention when use devices, so don't I. Maybe it is because its effectiveness is not visible and doesn't yield serious outcomes instantly. While we are unconscious of as it is, our brain is getting damaged very much. keep a distance from it for your life.
------------------
4. WARNING: Holding a cellphone against your ear may be hazardous to your health. So may stuffing it in a pocket against your body.
I’m paraphrasing here. But the legal departments of cellphone manufacturers slip a warning about holding the phone against your head or body into the fine print of the little slip that you toss aside when unpacking your phone. Apple, for example, doesn’t want iPhones to come closer than 5/8 of an inch; Research In Motion, BlackBerry’s manufacturer, is still more cautious: keep a distance of about an inch.
The warnings may be missed by an awful lot of customers. The United States has 292 million wireless numbers in use, approaching one for every adult and child, according to C.T.I.A.-The Wireless Association, the cellphone industry’s primary trade group. It says that as of June, about a quarter of domestic households were wireless-only.
If health issues arise from ordinary use of this hardware, it would affect not just many customers but also a huge industry. Our voice calls — we chat on our cellphones 2.26 trillion minutes annually, according to the C.T.I.A. — generate $109 billion for the wireless carriers.

3.Especially, korea has top skill to shipbuilding. And also now, we try to digital welding boosts in shipbuilding. It is really awsome! We are headed to make shipbuilding with digital skills. If it is success, It will be quite amazing. Certainly, It can cause lots of benefits to us. And also if possible, Digital systeam can help shipbuilding more safety. It can give more perfect system to shipbuilding system. Surely, It will be helped all of area.
-----------------------------------
In a move to cut costs and raise productivity, Hyundai Heavy Industries is expected to become the first shipbuilder in the world to adopt digital welding processes in shipbuilding.
Korea’s leading shipbuilder said yesterday that the digital welding will gradually be applied starting next year.
By 2015 all welding process will be digitalized.
The company said the digital welding process will improve productivity by 20 percent, reducing 1 million manpower hours on welding every year.
The manpower savings would result in the building of five additional 300,000-ton very large crude carriers.
The company said this would also result in cost savings of more than 100 billion won.
The digital welding process standardizes the quality of the welding instead of depending on the individual skills of welders.
Information about voltage and electric currents involved in the welding process appears on a LCD display.
“With the digital welding system, anyone can become a skilled expert whatever their past skill and experience,” said Kim Hyun-cheol at Hyundai Heavy Industries.
“This is an innovative technology that will change shipbuilding,” he added.

ReplyDelete2. Destruction of Language
3. Through the computer and mobile phone, we can talk to each other. But chat and text message can't show the speaker's emotion and a tone. So, they use emoticon such as 'ㅋㅋ, ^^ etc.' and write as the sound. Emoticon shows speaker's emotion and phonetic writing shows their tone. If you don't use this emoticon, you would hear that "Are you angry?". When I didn't use emoticon, I have heard "You looks bad." But I was fine.
And in order to write faster, we use abbreviation and make new word. It is comfortable and easy to use. But this phenomena have led to the destruction of language. They use this language not only cyber world but also real world.
-------------------------------------------------
Destruction of language of young people is getting worse day by day in the internet chat room or online games and text messages. Especially slang, various emoticons, onomatopoeia, mimetic word are using without filtration. It is concerned that the destruction of language overstep the bounds. They can more use the emoticon, abbreciation and slang than standard language because this language is more fun and easy.
But standard language's identity is shook because of this phenomena. Experts said, 'if young people use distorted language with limited groups continuously, it can lead to disabled to communication with other groups.

ReplyDelete2. EMR; Electronic Medical Record is shared between all over the world.
3. EMR means substitute electronic charts for paper charts. That is to computerize all kinds of records related patients such as health conditions, medical history, prescription etc. Until now, medical records of patients have shared only in the hospital patients receive treatment. But, within 10 years, It will be shared in whole world. I can't sure that if it is indeed good to people. We have no choice to share my personal information. For example, suppose this situations. there is a man. One of his parent may be AIDS, But He have not been given HIV virus. He doesn't want inform his medical history of family. Its exposure could spoil his life from love affair to job. Of course, Its information is under the control to protect. But, if is exposed, it would be more serious problem than paper charts. Because it pervade not just one hospital, but also hospital in everywhere as many as possible. I think network is not always positive. It have both sides.

Chief of HIMSS says within 10 years, real time medical service will come true. America have the plan to invest 30 billion dollar to increase the compatibility of electronic medical records.
Over 80% of Hospitals and Doctors in America may be participate in sharing medical records. So it is expected the change of medical circumstance all over the world. Korea wins the standard of HIMSS to practical use.
This makes possible to medical management wherever you are.
HIMSS :

ReplyDelete2. Cloud computing to dispel rainy days of elderly
3. For aging societies, including South Korea’s, cloud computing may play a pivotal role as the latest trend to change the daily lives of senior citizens and to secure more business opportunities. Cloud computing refers to Internet-enabled processing where shared resources, software and information are offered to computers on demand over the Web, instead of dedicated ones.
It is like using computing resources and software as much as a corporation or individual clients would want just as they use tap water. Hence, the costs are calculated on a pay-as-you-go format.
-----------------------
Thatcher said MS has seen a ``substantial increase’’ in awareness of its cloud strategies and the company’s newfound ``all-in’’ cloud strategy creates a tendency to incorporate more and more online functionality into its offerings.
The industry-wide transition to cloud computing is expected to dominate much of the technology world with data centers springing up wherever energy is provided at inexpensive prices.
``From a consumer’s standpoint, MS has been using many types of cloud applications for years. Much of today’s e-mailing and chatting are already transacted through the cloud via hotmail or gmail. The results, so far, have been satisfactory,’’ the executive said. ``We’ve made a clear choice that this is a business.’’
Recently, the issue of how security services are provisioned and delivered has emerged as organizations are briskly moving away from virtualized servers in the data center to private cloud computing environments.
By pointing out ``privacy’’ and ``security’’ as the top two words for security-related matters, Thatcher said software is currently being maintained and secured by MS and he is positive that the company guarantees 99.9 percent reliability.
He said that the company works in a responsible way to prevent any leak of personal information and has been checking the status of its cloud computing users.
U-Prove is one of the system MS boasts of. The system employs cryptographic technology, making possible the issuance and presentation of cryptographically protected claims in a matter involving multi-party security.
When asked of the impact of the ongoing competition on its rivals such as Google, Amazon and even Apple in various cloud computing-related areas, Thatcher said Microsoft has already differentiated itself as an authoritative player in the ``public cloud computing market.’’.
While MS claims a sizable number of users for its cloud-based services _ Windows Azure has around 10,000 users and some 20 percent of the virtualization market _ those steps have yet to contribute significantly to the company’s bottom lines, still mostly affected by its traditional on-premises offerings.
MS hopes to further expand its business partnerships with Korean companies particularly telecom operators like SK Telecom, KT and LG Uplus, which are injecting more of their key resources to strengthening cloud computing businesses as they become next-generation growth drivers.
The MS executive said his firm has been maintaining healthy partnerships with Korean entities interested in the potential-loaded segment even though he declined to specify their names.
