Jan 17
discussed car.ess, accepted essays on it.  Asked them to read technology,
crime and civil liberties for next time and write about it.

Criteria for evaluating proposals

1. How much is it worth?  How much does it cost?

2. Does it require laws to implement it?  If so, what opposition
can you predict?

3. How many people have to adopt it so that anyone gets the benefit
or so that the costs are reasonable?
Activation ring for guns.  Prevents people from grabbing policemen's guns.
Prevents children from shooting.

Can one be made that can be retrofitted?

Does it require a law?
Greg Fowlkes, Venting the Unconscious - B
Jungian psychoanalysis tells us that we need a machine to unburden
the unconscious.
Aaron Urbina, Progressive Education
A variety of proposals for intelligent terminals in schools and
other gadgets
Steven Greidinger, On Employment and Telecommunications, A
specialized employment network

I'm not convinced that much unemployment is caused by inability of
employers and potential employees to communicate.  At most I think
that more accurate placement might result from improved
communication.  For employees willing to move long distances,
there might be real benefits.
Allen Symonds, The Hiker's Guide

It occurs to me that the organization with the most money to spend
on backpacking equipment is the U. S. Army.

I believe the USGS has started to maintain its map collection in
digital form.
