csahin1 Hi,
I am currently in USA and working in online shipping company. We would like to expand to Singapore and we are conducting marketing research. Can you contact me that we can talk better.
tricks4comp This is on of my favorite city from my childhood. I wish that i'll spend 5 years there.
Angela I agree. I live in Singapore and it's easier most of the time to buy in retail shops if it's something easy to find. I am in retail and the problem is everyone has been to the same shops and there...
CitySolver I agree Peter, Screen time is big in our lives. I try and take breaks and go for walks, and like you I read alot online. I sometimes think is it justifuable to print things out to read large docs,...
NewDream I'm on the computer, or sometimes the tablet, most of my waking hours. As you say, this provides a great opportunity for interactive reading. I really prefer reading to watching video, probably 95%...

"In other words, cnsumers are being fed something they really don't need."
How unusual, don't you think?
PeterJ I think it can be universally said that smaller amounts of teevision equate to a better life....although I wonder if computer use replaces some of that - for me at least. I do rationalize it in that...
PeterJ Well, NewDream, that's certainly a reasonable approach. I was just reading about the new 4K TV sets that are being marketed, including around Black Friday. I guess they're great to watch, however...
NewDream A stand-alone scenario would have the benefit of pulling those with higher speed requirements off the data highway that the rest of us are using. That is far better than giving a few individuals...
NewDream As I understand it, the net neutrality issue has to do with limiting Internet speeds for those providing content, except for a few high-end corporations that get preferential treatment. That has...
NewDream I don't watch tv. Last night I checked out the news, because I hoped my interview might be shown (it wasn't); once in a while I'll watch a football or basketball game, haven't done that for a couple...
NewDream I think a 'green movement' for users is an excellent idea. I know that I can rarely see a difference in 'normal' and 'hd' versions of a video. Given a choice on downloads, I'll take a size that won't...
PeterJ That's probably right - they will seek a stand-alone solutio, not necessarily something that will benefit larger groups.
PeterJ NewDream, my addition to your scenario is that there is a segment of very high users who singularly use a disproportionate amount of bandwidth than anyone else. I'm just wondering about fairness...
PeterJ Interestingly, I heard a report today that mentioned Netflix is predicting the end of the major networks in 20 years. Maybe that doesn't spell the end to cable TV as we know it, but certainly we...
PeterJ I also see the the effect of "cord cutting" - and the corresponding demands of entertainment content delivery via internet - to continue to be a big part of this debate. ISPs need to recover that...
PeterJ Good points ... although we are starting to see some of the cobinations you mention in the marketplace.

The one-room schoolhouse. The barber shop doubling as a healthcare clinic. These images of small town living tend to stand as notions of how things "used to be."

Collecting personal fitness data and social "likes" is fueling our well-documented data explosion, but other streams of nonstop data creation are working harder for humanity. These ...

When visitors leave the Tate Britain for the night, the robots will come out. People will control them from afar for "After Dark" exploration.
