The Outlook for HDTV |
|
In the late 1990s, when the first television channels began offering high-definition television, few U.S. households had HDTV sets to receive the signals, and it’s no wonder: Shows in high-def were scarce, and the average price of an HDTV set was $3,147. |

It enables you to communicate with mobile phones, use remote controls, tune in TV stations, pop corn in the microwave, open your car door without a key, listen to radio stations, and surf the Internet when you’re sipping coffee at Starbucks. |

The Looming Doctor S |
|
With nearly 80 million Baby Boomers approaching retirement age, America is facing a critical crisis. There simply aren뭪 enough doctors to care for the aging population.
Currently, the U.S. produces about 25,000 doctors a year. To keep up with the demographic trends, we뭠l need between 3,000 and 10,000 more per year. Making matters worse is how long it takes to train a physician ?an entire decade ?which means that by the year 2020, the U.S. will face a shortage of as many as 200,000 doctors, according to a recent report in USA Today. |
