The Job Shortage Tur |
|
| A worker shortage. As recently as early 2003, over two million workers had lost their jobs since the start of the recession in 2001. At 6.2 percent, the national unemployment rate hovered at the highest level it had been in nine years, and the number of new jobless claims lingered above 400,000 for 20 straight weeks. People were screaming about offshoring, downsizing, and a lack of jobs. Little did they realize that they were at the beginning of a new era when skilled workers would be in very short supply and companies would be begging for workers. |

Google을 밀어낼 ‘응답 엔진’이 |
|
| 1993년 팀 버너스 리(Tim Berners-Lee)가 월드와이드웹(World Wide Web)을 선보인 후 인터넷은 당시와 비교할 수 없을만큼 성장을 거듭하고 있다. 인류에게 주어진 이 새로운 툴은 위키피디아(Wikipedia) 같은 ‘데이터 저장소’에서 구글(Google) 같은 ‘검색 엔진’에 이르기까지 다양한 분야로 파급되고 있다. 하지만 막강한 구글 검색 엔진도 현재 어떤 한계에 직면해 있다. 이 한계를 넘어설 새로운 엔진이 현재 테스트 중이다. 바로 ‘응답 엔진’이다. |

Mr. Grandmom |
|
| The Baby Boom generation used to warn against trusting anyone over 30. By the 1970s, however, many of them were parents themselves, and moreover, the men of this generation were playing a larger role in the lives of their children than their own fathers had in their lives. |
