Islam's (High-Tech Backlash) | Computers | DISCOVER Magazine - 0 views

  •  
    Digital Nation showed us the positive impact of social media during the revolutions in the Middle East, but this article discusses how it's impact does not advance the cause for women's rights....sad! "The Islamic people didn't have a voice, and new media gave them a voice," she tells me. The web coalesced "a million people who have the same thoughts and ideas." Once the Muslim Brotherhood implements those ideas, laws already on the books limiting women to second-class status and curtailing freedom of speech in the guise of fighting "blasphemy" could be increasingly enforced.

The real secret to the company's success isn't as much about dissecting the relationship between fat and carbs and protein as it is understanding the links between nutrition, weight gain, and psychology. Not everyone needs a weekly meeting to lose weight, but for many the commiseration and general back-slapping helps. That's been the Weight Watchers formula from day one. And for now, it seems to be working better than ever. Profits are up. Pounds are down

In many industries, technology development has spurred further improvements in efficiency-a virtuous cycle. In health care, this process is happening at a much slower rate. It has taken decades to complete even relatively simple tasks such as digitizing medical records.
