You aren’t defining what you mean by “structural,” so it’s a little difficult to get a handle on the dichotomy you’re arguing about. It seems to me in the real world (as opposed to the Fantasyland of Economic Models) that the USA most certainly does have a structural unemployment problem. “Amateur” economists who look out the window instead of at pretty graphs on their computer screens have noticed that the USA has been offshoring prime manufacturing jobs for decades; the percentage of GDP represented by manufacturing, and exports, continues to drop year by year. We have used debt, and during the housing bubble years, esp. 2000-2007, in the form of HELOC and cash-out re-fi, to compensate us for lack of, well, compensation. Writers such as Kevin Phillips have researched the issue and concluded that as much as 50% of overall “income” during those bubble years really took the form of borrowing from assets, principally houses. That could not be sustained, as the popping of the bubble demonstrated. A private sector completely saturated in debt then lacked the collateral to take on more. Why is this even controversial? If the economy depends on spending and then spending some more for consumer goods and services, and the people lose a large chunk of what they used to fuel such a buying frenzy, isn’t the natural outcome a sharp recession/depression? Espectially where real wages have flat-lined for decades, other than in the financialized part of the economy, which is mainly parasitic. I don’t understand why a group of “Democratic-leaning economists” (I thought it was science; why the partisanship?) would look at a cluster of “indicative” statistics to try to descry what is lying in plain view. The debt to GDP ratio became exorbitant (130%), we couldn’t keep buying imported stuff from each other, and the economy went kablooey. That’s about as structural as things get — a One Time End of the World as We’ve Known It. Maybe Obama should not shy from looking at the distinct possibility that the USA has been on the wrong track for decades, and that while Americans might get jobs in Professor Krugman’s model, there aren’t many good paying jobs left in the American real world. That’s why we have 17% unemployment and a declining standard of living for the mass of Americans.

1. What are the examples of the computer secondary storage? Explain the purpose of secondary storage.

Secondary storage (or external memory) differs from primary storage in that it is not directly accessible by the CPU. The computer usually uses its input/output channels to access secondary storage and transfers the desired data using intermediate area in primary storage. Secondary storage does not lose the data when the device is powered down—it is non-volatile. Per unit, it is typically also an order of magnitude less expensive than primary storage. Consequently, modern computer systems typically have an order of magnitude more secondary storage than primary storage and data is kept for a longer time there.

In modern computers, hard disk drives are usually used as secondary storage. The time taken to access a given byte of information stored on a hard disk is typically a few thousandths of a second, or milliseconds. By contrast, the time taken to access a given byte of information stored in random access memory is measured in billionths of a second, or nanoseconds. This illustrates the very significant access-time difference which distinguishes solid-state memory from rotating magnetic storage devices: hard disks are typically about a million times slower than memory. Rotating optical storage devices, such as CD and DVD drives, have even longer access times. With disk drives, once the disk read/write head reaches the proper placement and the data of interest rotates under it, subsequent data on the track are very fast to access. As a result, in order to hide the initial seek time and rotational latency, data are transferred to and from disks in large contiguous blocks.

When data reside on disk, block access to hide latency offers a ray of hope in designing efficient external memory algorithms. Sequential or block access on disks is orders of magnitude faster than random access, and many sophisticated paradigms have been developed to design efficient algorithms based upon sequential and block access . Another way to reduce the I/O bottleneck is to use multiple disks in parallel in order to increase the bandwidth between primary and secondary memory.[2]

Some other examples of secondary storage technologies are: flash memory (e.g. USB flash drives or keys), floppy disks, magnetic tape, paper tape, punched cards, standalone RAM disks, and Iomega Zip drives.

The secondary storage is often formatted according to a file system format, which provides the abstraction necessary to organize data into files and directories, providing also additional information (called metadata) describing the owner of a certain file, the access time, the access permissions, and other information.

Most computer operating systems use the concept of virtual memory, allowing utilization of more primary storage capacity than is physically available in the system. As the primary memory fills up, the system moves the least-used chunks (pages) to secondary storage devices (to a swap file or page file), retrieving them later when they are needed. As more of these retrievals from slower secondary storage are necessary, the more the overall system performance is degraded.

2. Do you think automation process is the result of the social demands ? why?

In the 1960s, The Triple Revolution memorandum suggested that machines would continue to reduce the number of manual laborers needed, while increasing the skill needed to work, thereby producing greater unemployment. The group recommended a basic income and other solutions. More recently, Marshall Brain has suggested in his Robotic Nation essay[8] that a jobless recovery is due to automation and robots eliminating human jobs. He recommended in the long term (in which he theorizes most humans will be permanently unemployed) restructuring the economy by giving away money to all humans, again as a form of basic income.[9]

These views stand in contrast to mainstream economic thought, which views productivity increases in general as a net benefit to workers in the economy. When creative destruction eliminates jobs in a certain sector due to innovation, the resulting available labor is put back to work in new jobs in a different sector. This may require education or re-training of workers. A jobless recovery may result in the short term due to the delays caused waiting for innovation and expansion in growth industries and retraining of workers. In the long term, this process is considered to raise real incomes or at least the standard of living for all workers, or alternatively leave more time for leisure through shorter work weeks.

However, this benefit from productivity assumes prosperity is generally shared, and that many workers are not left out of this prosperity for some reason like skills, talents, age, academic certifications, or other personal aspects. Averages may go up while many individuals lose out. The increasing rich/poor divide in the USA seems to reflect this. In general, better paying parts of the new economy requires higher levels of social skills, higher levels of abstract reasoning ability, higher levels of verbal fluency, higher levels of creativity, higher levels of competitiveness, higher levels of comfort with computer technology, and higher levels of parental investment that not everyone has. This helps explain why social mobility in the USA is at an all time low, even below that of Europe. Many jobs without such high skill requirements are potentially more easily automated.

For example, the workforce of the United States at the time of its founding was almost entirely employed in subsistence agriculture. After more than two centuries of technological advances, in 2007, only 0.6% of the workforce was employed in “farming, forestry, and fishing”. Instead of becoming unemployed, these workers moved into manufacturing jobs created by the Industrial Revolution. As manufacturing has moved to other countries due to globalization or increased productivity allowed domestic companies to produce more with less labor, instead of becoming unemployed, many workers have moved to the service sector, which accounted for 78.5% of the U.S. economy in 2008. The increase in productivity has made it possible for people with jobs to have access to a wide variety of consumer goods and services that would have been unavailable or extremely expensive if over 90% of the workforce was busy with agriculture, and has drastically reduced the percentage of worker income spent on food.

However, many people who would like to be farmers or manufacturers no longer have the chance to do that for a living, and have been forced to seek jobs in other areas they may like less. In general, someone who enjoys working by using their hands and mind together may be forced to do something else they don't like as much, to a possible large loss in job satisfaction, assuming they can stand, say, a bureaucratic job at all.[10]

Also, total working hours during the week have continued to shrink for many jobs throughout those changes (even as some jobs have been exceptions). One can ask how far this trend to declining hours will go, and if the remaining work hours will be spread evenly or whether some people will work a lot and some will work none at all. In general, people need food and manufactured goods much more than most services, and so this shift to a mostly service economy has also introduced a much greater volatility in the economy where desirable but optional services like restaurant meals, nail salon pedicures, or even high end investment banking services can be cut back on relatively easily; the current contraction in the economy surprised most economists for both its speed and depth, with industry after industry suffering a domino effect of cutbacks in jobs that fed upon itself.

But, even with a successful shift to mainly services, to maintain full employment, an economy has to create new jobs to replace the ones that have been automated, since competition and continual improvement is a key aspect of a free market economy. Marshall Brain and others like Hans Moravec and Ray Kurzweil suggest robots, AI, and other automation can more and more easily fill many of the new jobs that get created, a trend that will only accelerate as robotics and artificial intelligence continue to improve. Also, a rise in free works developed by professional amateurs also displaces paid work. An economy with rising productivity also has to have rising demand per capita to balance the increased production, but for many things like housing, energy use, or media consumption demand may be limited per capita or may grow more slowly than exponentially rising productivity (driven in part by Moore's law and falling prices for computers and automation). Easy access to entertainment and education through the internet and computers — effectively for free after an initial fixed cost for computing equipment — has also has reduced demand for other services, simply by occupying people's time that might otherwise be spent in other paid-for pursuits like traveling or bowling. The internet also reduces demand for goods and services by supplying information that might otherwise require hiring experts or buying products. The internet also helps people make more satisfying purchases at a lower cost through product reviews produced by global social networking, also potentially reducing overall demand.

Psychologists have refined ideas like Maslow's hierarchy of needs that suggest increasing material abundance only increases happiness up to a point. Services may still be of interest, but more and more, the thing people want to do after meeting basic material needs is to meet needs for being social, for esteem, and for self-actualization, which can often be met at low cost through interacting with neighbors face-to-face or online, being recognized for gifts to the commons, and by being creative in some way. This suggests demand for most paid services is ultimately limited, except to the extent they support these things; so, for example, people might more and more be buying paints and canvas but not finished pictures.

The law of supply and demand suggests that if the potential labor supply is high (like from increasing unemployment in a recession or jobless recovery), and if the demand for labor goes lower from increased productivity coupled with limited overall desire for more goods and services, then wages will feel significant downward pressure, even for the jobs that remain. But, lower wages mean less purchasing power, which lowers demand further still, in a downward spiral. In the past, this downward spiral has been stopped in various ways by creating higher economic demand (like by low interest loans, increased advertising, and even exhortations to shop as a “patriotic duty”.[11]). At best, all that has been managed with all this increased consumption is to hold the line on falling wages given increased productivity. But the productivity has been increasing exponentially. Our society has never before faced a deep recession with so much advanced automation to continue putting downward pressure on wages for so many jobs.

This decrease in demand has also been happening in the context of a general growing environmental consciousness that advocates voluntary simplicity and consuming less. There are other trends as well causing people to question key aspects of our economic system (like wars, fraud, bailouts, inequities, foreclosures, and even the fact of rising unemployment itself). Taken together, there is the potential from all these trends that our economy may even “implode” as it transitions to some new paradigm as predicted back in 1985 by Bob Black.[12]

So, if productivity rises faster than demand, then one would expect falling prices and increasing unemployment. Could we just stop increasing productivity somehow? But without continual innovation, including increasing automation to lower production costs, profits in a market-driven economy will fall to zero through competition, and the profit-driven market place would freeze up. So this problem of a permanent jobless recovery may be inherent to real economies at some stage (as opposed to theoretical ones with infinite demand), with a jobless recovery reflecting essentially a divide by zero error in mainstream economic thinking, with costs trending to zero as productivity greatly exceeds demand. Moving beyond this divide-by-zero error might require some sort of post-scarcity economy.

However, many mainstream economists might simply reply that the above is an example of the “lump of labor fallacy”, and that limited demand is a not possible based on their views of human nature and so demand for human labor is indeed infinite. Professional economists are, for the most part, mathematicians of a sort. It might seem to make more sense to listen to psychologists, anthropologists, and sociologists than mathematicians about human nature, assuming human nature can be defined at all. Still, even if demand was potentially infinite like most economists suppose, and thus always growing faster than capacity, that lump of labor fallacy has nothing to say about robotics and automation once they exceed human abilities in the workplace at a lower cost. How to reconcile these two opposite positions remains contentious. But for mainstream economic predictions to be valid, two things have to be true: demand has to be effectively infinite, and robots and artificial intelligence must never equal the ability of most human workers for workplace tasks at a similar overall cost. We seem to already see evidence of both these assumptions by mainstream economists being wrong in restricted areas (like demand for housing has fallen off, and robots can paint cars better than people), but even then, the implications are not yet fully clear if these trends will generalize or how quickly they would do so. Almost all mainstream economists failed to predict the current economic downturn; many people, including some professional economists, are now questioning in general the value of mainstream economic models for dealing with unusual situations past the boundaries of those models' assumptions.[13][14]

The “Beyond Current Horizons” project had this to say in its 2009 final report:[15]: “Technological change is having a dramatic impact on the structure of employment as well as many other aspects of the way work is conducted. [The internet and computer technology] in particular has revolutionised the way business is done, created new markets and offered the possibilities for people to exert much more control over their working lives. It seems certain the pace of change will continue if not accelerate. However, it is important to recognise that just because something is technically possible does not mean that it will inevitably happen. As Baldry (2008) emphasises, outcomes are shaped by social and economic considerations and constraints. Simple extrapolations based on technological determinism, and based on the false idea of a fixed “lump of work”, have resulted in many previous projections of the impact of technology on employment looking very silly… In the 1970s for example the doomsters predicted the collapse of employment and the paperless office would be the prime outcomes of the coming ICT revolution (see, for example, Jenkins and Sherman (1979)). Both were far wide of the mark. This does not mean to say that developments over the next decade or two will not have profound implications for employment and the world of work, but it does illustrate the dangers of simple extrapolation, taking no account of social and economic behaviour and the power of markets to adjust to new circumstances.”

So, there remains uncertainty about what the future will hold, including how any potential benefits of ever more advanced technology will be distributed to all people somehow. Alternatively, we can consider how those benefits might be wasted like by creating artificial scarcity (such as through war or excessive bureaucracy) to make the facts of increasing abundance and limited demand fit economic theories based around scarcity and unlimited demand, and thus maintain full employment in a conventional way. Still, from a mainstream economics perspective, none of this alternative perspective is needed as the market will correct itself — except when it does not, as admitted in 2008 by Alan Greenspan.

3. Part of the philippine agenda is the erection of cyber parks and eco zones that would propel the I.T. (Information Technology) employments and spur the economy of the country. In your own perception, how would you assess or evaluate the level of ICT (Information Communication Technolog) operation in different organizations?

The world is being saturated with new technologies, in just about any form, shape and size. Multi-national companies organize events aimed at presenting career and business opportunities in ICT.

In this light developing countries must develop their own ICT strategies creatively on available experience, to configure their technical and human resources as knowledge and understanding in the world of technology and innovation was expanding at a rapid pace, and that the speed at which ICT was developing and its impact on socio-economic activities could not be over-emphasized.
.
ICT had been integrated into virtually every facet of the public and private organizations including commerce, education and governance and is critical in coping with the world.
In March 2003 Japan formulated the Asia Broadband Program as an action plan to provide a broadband environment throughout Asia . This plan aims to make Asia the information base of the world through the fulfillment of seven goals by FY2010, including broadband access for all people in Asia . To advance this program, Japan has so far made agreements to advance bilateral cooperation with Thailand , Malaysia , Vietnam , Indonesia , Cambodia , the Philippines , China , and India , and multilateral cooperation with China and South Korea . Based on these agreements, Japan has held policy dialogues in order to understand what is requested by the partner countries. Under this program, Japan has been assisting in developing infrastructure in Vietnam, Iraq, and Cambodia, as well as working for technology development through such means as collaborative experiments with other Asian countries using fiber optics broadband networks, etc., and dissemination of applications. Furthermore, Japan has been focusing its efforts on technical cooperation projects and development of ICT-related human resources by such means as holding trainings and seminars, and dispatching experts to various Asian countries and international organizations.

4. Who designed the www? what is the meaning of www?

In March 1989, Sir Tim Berners-Lee wrote a proposal[5] that referenced ENQUIRE, a database and software project he had built in 1980, and described a more elaborate information management system.

With help from Robert Cailliau, he published a more formal proposal (on November 12, 1990) to build a “Hypertext project” called “WorldWideWeb” (one word, also “W3″) as a “web” of “hypertext documents” to be viewed by “browsers”, using a client-server architecture.[2] This proposal estimated that a read-only web would be developed within three months and that it would take six months to achieve, “the creation of new links and new material by readers, [so that] authorship becomes universal” as well as “the automatic notification of a reader when new material of interest to him/her has become available”.

5. The universities in different countries are using the digital education system to market their products. One of the hottest open source software in the internet is the MOODLE. It was designed by an australian phd student, this is to experiment the construction of epistomology.

Explain the meaning of the MOODLE.

Moodle: Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment is a free and open-source e-learning software platform, also known as a Course Management System, Learning Management System, or Virtual Learning Environment. It has a significant user base with 45,721 registered and verified sites, containing 32 million users in 3 million courses (as of January, 2010).[3]

Moodle is designed to help educators create online courses with a focus on interaction and collaborative construction of content.

Moodle is primarily developed by Moodle Pty Ltd (based in Perth, Western Australia), supported by a large global community of users and developers. Moodle's open source license and modular design allow any developer to create additional modules and features.

Moodle has many features expected from an e-learning platform, plus some original innovations (like its filtering system). Moodle is very similar to a learning management system, but it has many more standard features. Moodle can be used in many types of environments such as in education, training and development, and business settings.

Moodle is modular in construction and can readily be extended by creating plugins for specific new functionality. Moodle's infrastructure supports many types of plug-ins:

Activities (including word and math games)
Resource types
Question types (multiple choice, true and false, fill in the blank, etc)
Data field types (for the database activity)
Graphical themes
Authentication methods (can require username and password accessibility)
Enrollment methods
Content Filters
Many third-party Moodle plugins are freely available making use of this infrastructure.[4]

PHP can be used to author and contribute new modules. Moodle's development has been assisted by the work of open source programmers.[5] This has contributed towards its rapid development and rapid bug fixes.

By default Moodle includes the TCPDF library that allows the generation of PDF documents from pages.

Nope. This could be a dealbreaker for some, but as the comments indicate, for many buyers it’s not an issue. You could use a USB/Ethernet adapter, which is not bad but is another doodad to carry around.

This would be useless to me since I have an EVO, which has a kickstand built in for this purpose. Muahahahahaha!!

Hi ATM,I doubt we shall say logical, perhaps understandable or apprehensible (????) is a more suitable term. Can we make a comparison between China and Taiwan or Hong Kong and draw a conclusion out of it? I personally think it is not that logical unless the purpose is to give an opinion of some value judgment. On top of that, we know Singapore joins the federation for a mere two years and it is a city state, unlike Malaysia. But if the intention of the comparison is to set a good example to motivate and to inspire, in term of lesser corruption, efficiency, productivity, governance and so on, I think it is fair but shouldn’t over doing it.Most Malay deem LKY a racist, you can come up with your side of story to insist he is not but we can’t change that perception at this point of time. The Malay used to perceive that Chinese care only our business and economy which is a fact anyway, and definitely not in politic, LKY action changed that perception. And the result is the Malays have no choice but to believe that UMNO is the only party that could protect them from Chinaman i.e. LKY, PAP and DAP. The sentiment lessens today not because the fear diminishes, but UMNO / BN performance is extremely rotten. This perception may take a few more generation or shorter period to change but Malaysia doesn’t have that luxury of time and space. My point is, the glorification of that racist LKY and Singapore would only push the Malay back to UMNO. And I am perplex why people as smart as you and Hsu fond of doing it from time to time. Maybe I am wrong to call LKY a racist, but he is Westernise, an Anglophile, and definitely not Chinese. Chinese is less antagonistic and less hypocrisy.

While its true that Democrats have controlled the White House and the House of Representative, Republicans have used the filibuster in the Senate to stop the Democrats from passing any legislation to help the economy. They have literally set a record for the number of filibusters. Plus the Supreme Court is totally under the control of ultra-conservative Republicans. Finally, Obama is conservative on economic policies, just like Clinton was. We haven't had any liberal economic policies in this country since before Reagan.

I liked Rand's novel, but boy was she way off base in thinking the real world would be like her novel! The characters in “Atlas” were actually good, smart and moral people who did work hard at building their business and the economy. Unfortunately, the Corporate Fascists are more like Dagney's brother Jim, nothing but wealthy looters in capitalist robes. Stealing money from the masses is not virtuous! Yet that is what all the Wall Street banking firms did. And they got away with it! Even Alan Greenspan (a diehard admirer of Rand) admitted it.

While at this point a large number of the previously illegal Mexican and CA immigrants have returned home–demonstrating for one thing that they were not immigrants, just self-selected opportunistic guest workers–I really wonder if Americans will be ready in the near future to readopt their numbers together with the millions more who remained if the anticipated Democratic supermajority passes an anticipated second amnesty bill.

Full, legal access and protection to prevailing wages and benefits, thus putting downward pressure on all legal wages at all lower and middle levels but with a significant economic cash flow stream diverted south as remittances and not recycled domestically as savings capital or as the subsequent purchase of goods and services; further economic pressure on local municipal goods and services out of proportion to taxes contributed; further inflationary pressure on consumer goods and services now poised to experience breakout inflation; additional population pressure on infrastructure: electrical grids, water supplies, waste disposal, and so forth.

In a time of national American economic crisis, of course the wisest move is to adopt 10% of Mexico as well.

If there were some sort of countervailing transfer of pure raw material resource from Mexico as well–free, unlimited access to their oil fields, for example–that might somehow work to balance things.

As it stands now the stage is set for a distinct future class division in the U.S. between a smaller, wealthy class and a growing permanently poor lumpenklasse who can now be permanently manipulated politically by class resentment, insuring a permanent Democratic supermajority parasitically set for life.

Hey Mary,Here you go this comment as inappropriate

America was going down the tubes hence the electing of the Republicans. Had Democrats been able to govern their respective states properly, they would not have been voted out en masse. Go back to /b/ Democrats overtax, stifle business and economy Over indulge unions, give them outlandish benefits, retirement, etc. Pander to minority without actually helping them economy goes to shit etc. etc.

that was one of the gift for my girlfriend birthday, really strong magnet, and really good quality, THUMBS UP

When will we get a comparison or selection engine that enables the selection of flights, destination, hotels, cars, or packages based on a combination of all the criteria we take into account when we travel? For example, when I select a flight I take into account the number of hops, the departure time, the seat location (Aisle, Window or center), the class (1st, business, economy)… I want the comparison engine to compare the various options based on my specific tradeoffs “du jour”.

Re: immigrationNot necessarily. Thai Airways International hold back guests from business and economy cabins for First passengers. Once F has disembarked, then C is allowed to leave, then Y. Haven’t flown LH F before so I can’t say if this is something that they do. However, as some TG business class seats are upper deck, there’s no reason that it cannot be done simply because of the location upstairs. Would just take strategically placed cabin crew.
