Depletion of Natural Resources

Natural resources include stocks of fossil fuels, minerals, clean water, biological matter and land. In the 1970s, there was much concern over the depletion of minerals, land and fossi! fuels in the face of increased population growth.

In the 1990s the issue is much more clearly one of distribution. There are sufficient food and mineral reserves for every person but these are concentrated in certain areas or available to only a minority within a given country.

It has been suggested that wars in the future will be fought over access to water supplies, much as wars have occurred in the last decades over access to reserves of fossil fuels.

Desertification is also a major problem. The Sahara is spreading rapidly towards Southern Spain, for example.

Migrations of people in search of access to natural resources are also likely to increase and many countries are now strengthening their internal legislation against immigration in preparation for the expected rise in refugees.

The term Eco-capital is used to describe the amount of natural resources available and we will see later that the concept of sustainable development is closely linked with how countries spend their eco-capital. I think it is the time to think on this issue. Isn't it?

Among HP's first print app partners are USA Today, Google, Web Sudoku and Fandango. HP says the printer will retail for about $399 and hit stores this fall.

An Expensive Aura About It

Motorola's new luxury phone has all that jazz, but is not designed to woo a smartphone fan. Yeah! It is true.

The makers of the Motorola Aura introduce their latest in the line of luxury phones as the return of artistry, and there will be few voices of dissent there. We mean, how of, ten does one come across a phone that has a full stainless steel casing, a 62 carat Sapphire Crystal protective display glass, Swiss made main bearings for the rotating blade design and the world's first 16million colour circular display with 3(x) dpi clarity? Internally, the phone is quad band with GPRS and EDGE featuring 7.3 hours of talk time, 2GB of internal memory, stereo bluetooth, USB 2.0, AGPS and 2MP camera.

Fellow gizmo freaks at techtree.com summarise this beauty in the following way:

PROS: Brilliant design & construction, exotic quality of materials used, display quality, exclusivity and high flaunt value

CONS: Exorbitant price, highly under-equipped, circular display is small and awkward at times, slow UI speed, lack of attention to details And when they say pricey, they mean, hold your breath, its 1.1 lakh! It will be sold-initially at selected cities like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ludhiana, Mumbal and Surat. Wish to get it???
