Scientists are using interferometry to track shifting tectonic plates and predict where the next big earthquake might occur. ????????????????????,??????????????

Predicting earth's phenomena is all about finding the right tools for the job. Scientists studying the movement of the San Andreas Fault—the 800-mile-long boundary where the North American Plate grinds against the Pacific Plate—may not yet be able to tell us when to expect a big California earthquake, but they are now able to rake in enough data to estimate where Scientists studying the movement of the San Andreas Fault—the 800-mile-long boundary where the North American Plate grinds against the Pacific Plate—may not yet be able to tell us when to expect a big California earthquake, but they are now able to rake in enough data to estimate where ???????,???????????????????????????????????, 800???????????????????-???????????????????,?????????????????,???????????????????, 800???????????????????-?????????,????????,?????????????????,?
Yuri Fialko, an associate professor at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California San Diego, uses a combination of data from satellites (GPS and microwave radar) to pinpoint to the millimeter the movement of tectonic plates. ??fialko ,???,???????????????????????????,????????,???( GPS?????) ,????????????

A Look at the Bank of the Future ???????

The next generation of bank branches will be able to identify customers the minute they walk in the door, and offer them personalized services. ????????????????,??????,???????????

The bank of the future may very well feature biometric "welcome stations" where customers are identified when they walk in the door by a fingerprint or other means of individual identification, and serviced according to their needs and banking profiles. ?????????????????"?????" ,?????,??????????????????,?????,??????????????
Diebold, one of the world's largest manufacturers of automated teller machines (ATMs), unveiled its Branch of the Future concept last week at the BAI Retail Delivery banking conference in Las Vegas. diebold??,???????????????( ATM ) ,????????????????????????????????? The concept is centered on using technology to more effectively determine which customers are in the branch at any one time, and reorganizing bank resources and staff to meet those needs. ??????????????,?????????????????????,???????????????????

"It's set just a few years into the future, and we're taking the best of what we know and adapting it into the most realistic, cost-effective and efficient solutions technology can provide," said Chuck Ducey, Diebold's senior vice president of global development and services.

IT can drive revolution in work, MIT professor says ???????,????,?????????:

Digital technologies are making information cheaper and more accessible, by making the business world more democratic ??????????????,????????

Network professionals have their hands on technologies that could help revolutionize the world of work, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Thomas Malone said Wednesday at Gartner Inc.'s Enterprise Networking Summit. ???????????,????????????????,?????????????????????,?????Gartner ' S???????
New communication technologies have helped to spark the two biggest changes in human organization so far and are now enabling another revolution, Malone said in a keynote address. ???????????????????,?????,????,????????,????,?????? Like other topics at this week's conference, his call to action suggested networking is becoming a core aspect of organizations. ??????,??????,?????????,???????????????
The written word helped people advance from bands of hunters to kingdoms, and printing played a role in the advent of democracy, said Malone, author of The Future of Work: How the New Order of Business Will Shape Your Organization, Your Management Style and Your Life. The written word helped people advance from bands of hunters to kingdoms, and printing played a role in the advent of democracy, said Malone, author of The Future of Work: How the New Order of Business Will Shape Your Organization, Your Management Style and Your Life. Now that digital technologies are making information cheaper and more accessible, the business world can become more democratic, he said. ???????????????,??????????,??????,????,??????????:??????????,???????,???????????????????????????,??????????,??????,????,??????????:??????????,???????,???????????,??????????????????,???????????,??? That doesn't mean this change will necessarily happen -- hurdles include some outdated labor and intellectual property laws, he said -- but these advances make it possible, according to Malone. ?????????????????-??,??????????????????,?????-????????????,????
Among other things, companies can now give employees more decision-making power and use more loose teams of contractors to get work done. ??????,??????????????????????????????? That freedom can unleash more creativity and innovation, he said, citing eBay Inc., Wikipedia and the Linux community as examples where that has happened. ????,?????????????,??,??eBay??,?????Linux??????,????????
With their fingers on the pulse of new communication tools such as instant messaging, the Web and VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol), networking experts can play a big role, Malone said. ??????????,??????,?????,???VoIP (?????????) ,?????????????,????
"Some of the most important opportunities for ... IT professionals in general ... may be not just coming up with the new technologies themselves, but helping to think about how these new technologies can reshape the ways that businesses are organized, the processes by which work gets done [and] the ways that work is coordinated," he said.

Several attendees said new capabilities are the only way to get support for introducing certain technologies. ????????,??????????,???????????? For example, executives won't pay for VOIP just to do what traditional phone systems do, they said. ????,?????????VoIP????????????,???? But some downplayed the role they actually play in changing the shape of an organization. ???????,???????,???????????
