...accompanied by wives or girlfriends, but there are no virtually no females participating in the event, and I hear of only one woman in attendance who actually plays the instrument.

As white collars increasingly rely on e-mail and download documents from the Net, fewer copies are being made each year, and sales of machines are nearly flat. At the same time, traditional analog copiers are being replaced by souped-up, hybrid digital devices plugged into a computer network and capable of copying, printing and scanning. At the high-tech, high-output end of the copier business, in a segment Xerox once had all to it- self, competitors have finally caught up. To make...
...used to draw the line at books. the more my life became digital and downloadable, dominated by DVDs and MP3s, the more dust that gathered on my analog music tapes and VHS cassettes, the more I resolved never to abandon the trusty old paper- ink-and-glue devices that proliferate on my shelves and pile up on my floor. As a die-hard bibliophile, I'd trot out every argument in the book against e-books: they're too clunky to curl up with; they're too expensive; they can't re-create print- perfect text or the smell...
...also throw in the methods for building intelligent machines that we already understand. The computationally relevant aspects of individual neurons and neural structures are complicated but not beyond our ability to model accurately. Scientists at several laboratories around the world have built integrated circuits that match the digital and analog information-processing characteristics of biological neurons, including clusters of hundreds of neurons...
