...Physical packages can not be met with similar arguments that are received by standard post. Due to the unrealism behind the idea of receiving packages through computers, the idea of competition for these physical packages must be addressed. If the United States Postal Service was to be discontinued, many third party companies would most likely undertake an effort to catch many processes that have become crucial for some American’s lives. Due to the lack of government funding behind these massive undertakings, there would be little to no price regulation. This could cause many shipping prices to dramatically fluctuate. Examples of this process can already be seen in the massive company Amazon. Amazon currently contains a premium membership known as Amazon prime which offers users free shipping at a yearly cost. Through the use of this service alone...

...Introduction The aim of this paper is focusing on discussion of some relevant topics from ISYS100 course which enables students to learn more about the impacts of information technology on our lives and society. The development and improvement of new technology are continuously to change and improve our lives and some areas of industries in various ways such as education, communication and entertainment. In this paper I explore three types of advanced Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Tele-immersion technologies compare some distinguish characteristics between them as well as some of the ramification of these technologies on current and future life. Virtual Reality This topic was a sub-topic discussed in week 5 of the ISYS100 course which briefly introduced what Virtual Reality is about and how people perceive this new trend and concepts of inventing and sharing a virtual space in the future. The term of "virtual reality" is described as new interactive software programs which allow the user to immerse into a 3D surreal environment that is generated by a computer. The sight and sound from the three-dimensional monitor stimulates senses of reality; even the users are able to feel and touch the objects (Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2006). The ultimate immersed experience is when the users are allowed to move around, touch things, and talk in this virtual environment. Virtual Reality (VR) −Virtual −Interactive −Immersive Familiarity with Virtual...

...THE INCREASING RETURNS REVOLUTION IN TRADE AND GEOGRAPHY Prize Lecture, December 8, 2008 by Paul Krugman Princeton University, Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton, NJ 08544-1013, USA. Thirty years have passed since a small group of theorists began applying concepts and tools from industrial organization to the analysis of international trade. The new models of trade that emerged from that work didn’t supplant traditional trade theory so much as supplement it, creating an integrated view that made sense of aspects of world trade that had previously posed major puzzles. The “new trade theory” – an unfortunate phrase, now quite often referred to as “the old new trade theory” – also helped build a bridge between the analysis of trade between countries and the location of production within countries. In this paper I will try to retrace the steps and, perhaps even more important, the state of mind that made this intellectual transformation possible. At the end I’ll also ask about the relevance of those once-revolutionary insights in a world economy that, as I’ll explain, is arguably more classical now than it was when the revolution in trade theory began. 1. TRADE PUZZLES In my first year as an assistant professor, I remember telling colleagues that I was working on international trade theory – and being asked why on earth I would want to do that. “Trade is such a monolithic field,” one told me. “It’s a finished structure, with nothing interesting left to do.” Yet even before the arrival...

...Chapter 1 SIGMUND FREUD AN INTRODUCTION Sigmund Freud, pioneer of Psychoanalysis, was born on 6th May 1856 in Freiberg to a middle class family. He was born as the eldest child to his father’s second wife. When Freud was four years old, his family shifted and settled in Vienna. Although Freud’s ambition from childhood was a career in law, he decided to enter the field of medicine. In 1873, at the age of seventeen, Freud enrolled in the university as a medical student. During his days in the university, he did his research on the Central Nervous System under the guidance of German physician `Ernst Wilhelm Von Brucke’. Freud received his medical degree in 1881and later in 1883 he began to work in Vienna General Hospital. Freud spent three years working in various departments of the hospital and in 1885 he left his post at the hospital to join the University of Vienna as a lecturer in Neuropathology. Following his appointment as a lecturer, he got the opportunity to work under French neurologist Jean Charcot at Salpetriere, the famous Paris hospital for nervous diseases. So far Freud’s work had been entirely concentrated on physical sciences but Charcot’s work, at that time, concentrated more on hysteria and hypnotism. Freud’s studies under Charcot, which centered largely on hysteria, influenced him greatly in channelising his interests to psychopathology. In 1886, Freud established his private practice in Vienna specializing in nervous diseases...
