Personal assault on the senses

Article Abstract:

The Apple Newton is one of the most well known pocket-computers, which allows the user to send faxes, write notes, and use the diary. The launch of the Newton has raised the question of how much do users want computers to manage their personal affairs. Other developments include Active Badges, which track a user around a building enabling messages and calls to be put through to the nearest extension. The personal computer revolution is discussed further.

Racial disparities -- the need for research and action

Article Abstract:

Doctors should investigate variations in the health care provided to different ethnic groups so they can eliminate medical care discrimination. A study published in 2003 found widespread regional and ethnic variations in the use of knee arthroplasty to treat arthritis. Some of these variations may occur because patients live in an area where arthroscopy is not readily available.
