Star Trek at 50 - Crew Locator

Do a Google search on "finding yourself" and you'll discover a myriad of ways to find your true self, how to make peace with yourself, how to connect to your core. None refer to geolocators or the Global Positioning System or how the government tracks us through our cell phones.

In a world where it is increasingly difficult to find yourself alone, most of us are never out of reach via one form of communication or another. Whether that is good or bad is entirely up to you.

This week, a look at finding where you are.

TTFN, Fred.

Star Trek at 50 - Androids

An android is a robot or synthetic organism designed to look and act like a human, especially one with a body having a flesh-like resemblance. Historically, androids remained completely within the domain of science fiction where they are frequently seen in film and television. Only recently have advancements in robot technology allowed the design of functional and realistic humanoid robots.

This week, a look at androids.
