You know, it never occured to me to search for petrol prices in Google, given that search engines aren't really designed for returning up-to-the-minute results, but apparently thousands of Australians do. According to marketing manager Julian Sonego, "If you look at (the results for) the term 'petrol prices' you'll see that the top couple of cities globally searching on petrol prices are in fact Australian cities."

The newest technologies--computers, genetic engineering and the emerging field of nanotech-differ from the technologies that preceded them in a fundamental way. The telephone, the automobile, television and jet air travel accelerated for a while, transforming society along the way, but then settled into a manageable rate of change. Each was eventually rewarded more for staying the same than for radically transforming itself-a stable, predictable, reliable condition known as "lock-in."

The first devices that resemble modern computers date to the mid-20th century (around 1940 - 1945), although the computer concept and various machines similar to computers existed earlier. Early electronic computers were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers.

Today, simple computers may be made small enough t...

Text messaging, or texting is the common term for the sending of "short" (160 characters or fewer, including spaces) text messages from mobile phones using the Short Message Service (SMS). It is available on most digital mobile phones and some personal digital assistants with on-board wireless telecommunications. The individual messages which are sent are called text messages, or in the more colloquial text speak texts.
