Nicholas Negroponte, in 1984, makes 5 predictions
"My God! What a terrible image you get when you look at still pictures on TV." Well, it doesn't have to be terrible. And that is a slide taken from a TV set and it was pre-processed to be very sympathetic to the TV medium, and it absolutely looks beautiful. Well, what's happ...

billion miles) from Earth. The surface of the 70-meter reflector must remain accurate within a fraction of the signal wavelength, meaning that the precision across the 3,850-square-meter (41,400-square-foot) surface is maintained within one centimeter (0.4 inch). These low-resol...

Description of TRMM satellite image: Hurricane Trail In the image above, the passing storm creates surface turbulence that stirs up cooler water from below the surface of the sea. Had weather forecasters been able to see through the clouds, using TRMM satellite data, which most other satellite sensors are unable to do, they would have been able to see the relatively cool sea surface temperatures in the wake of Hurricane Mitch—and predict that the second hurricane would weaken, because of the lack
