Films are a feast for the eye & mind. A good movie poster can wet the appetitte of a potential movie-goer into the final step of buying a ticket.

Computer architecture is at a crossroads - "Moore's Law" which has been the technological engine powering exponentially faster computers is running into some serious roadblocks. I will explain where Moore's Law comes from, what it really means, why it is stalling, and possible ways forward. Most interesting to the general audience, though, is the observation that all of the ways to engineer around the end of Moore's Law will result in tomorrow's computers looking substantially different from today's. Examining these potential future computer systems can give us a glimpse into possible futures for an information-based society.
Anyone who has seen a graph of newspaper sales over the past decade knows that it resembles nothing so much as a giant slalom ski course, hurtling the print news industry toward a pain financial crash. Magazines aren't doing much better, many going to online-only editions, or folding entirely.
So where is our news going to come from in this new world? For years, journalists have been asking that very question, without coming to much in the way of useful conclusions. For breaking news, maybe cell phones and citizen journalists are enough, but how about the in-depth analysis and investigative work that puts breaking news in context?
Fortunately, some answers are starting to emerge, although the future is still a very murky place for a reporter or editor. Let's take a look at where the industry is today, what new developments such as the iPad and Kindle might mean, and what this means for public policy and the need for an informed citizenry.
