For most of the British public, the internet began in the 1990’s where it was estimated that the internet grew by 100% per year. It was in the year 2000 when the UK was first introduced to broadband, although the majority of broadband users came from large companies, due to the high cost, the situation now is very different as consumers can buy broadband for as little as £10 per month.

The difference between broadband and dialup is very small in price but broadband speeds can be significantly faster. This will gradually force dialup connections to extinction. According to BT, broadband is now available in 99.6% of households in the UK, 65% of UK households have an internet connection, and of those with internet, 55% are broadband connections.

Over the years the term collaboration has lost some of its luster by becoming synonymously linked with words such as cooperation, synergy and teamwork. Although these words are each an important component of collaboration, they are not of equal value. Collaboration, as a term, is much more than simply a characteristic of an effective team; it a process unto itself.

According Michael Winer and Karen Ray in their book, The Collaboration Handbook,

“True collaboration is a mutually beneficial and well-defined relationship entered into by two or more individuals/groups/organizations in order to achieve results they are more likely to achieve together
than alone.”

Holographic Imaging and the field of Holography is quite interesting and it pays to learn a little bit about its past. Dennis Gabor is considered the Father of Holography and Holographic Technologies. Dennis was born in Hungary in 1900. He started his study of physics at age 15 and eventually became a Physicist in Britain. Dennis wrote a paper in 1948 that has become the foundation of modern Holography.

The most interesting thing about all this is that laser light had not even been invented yet, when he wrote his paper. Thus his brilliant innovation and creative genius stands out as one of the great inventors of the 20th Century. Later Dennis Gabor became a Professor at Imperial College at the University of London in Applied Electron Physics.

Last week I got a call from an acquaintance of mine. He said, ‘Remember that conversation we had about Africa a few weeks ago? Well, I just checked my e-mail and you won’t believe it. I won an international lottery originating in Africa. You know, I’m just convinced everything happens for a reason, don’t you think?’

I thought for a few moments and I responded, ‘You know, I think you’re right. Everything does happen for a reason and really it’s a good thing that we’re talking right now.’ I went on to explain that I personally win probably three or four international lotteries a day and none of them are real.
