Hypnotic Myths
Even though hypnosis has been around officially since the 1700s (Franz Anton Mesmer), there are still questions as to its validity and benefits. For the most part, these questions stem from fear and ignorance. Regarding this subject, it is generally...

Electronics: The Must-Have Accessory
You might not see iPods on Paris runways, but electronics have
undergone a transformation from a utilitarian necessity to a
fashion accessory. While electronics aren't exactly replacing
jewelry as a status symbol - bling is still the thing - the
types of gadgets a person can't live without speaks volumes
about his or her lifestyle.
Those in the halls of power can't live without a BlackBerry -
nor can Hollywood celebrities, it seems. Keeping in touch -
anywhere, anytime - makes everything from cell phones to
Bluetooth to PDAs must-haves. The popularity of electronics
hasn't escaped the notice of those in the automotive world, as
microchips have migrated from those controlling the vehicle's
on-board computer system to the automotive accessory of the year
- the Global Positioning System (GPS).
There are, of course, the ubiquitous headsets, which are
connected to cell phones, MP3 players, or - for the electronics
fashionista - the iPod nano. On any give airline flight,
passengers will have a mind-boggling array of electronics on
board to entertain them or keep them otherwise occupied.
Computers, music players, and portable gaming devices all appear
once cruising altitude is reached. With the plethora of
must-have electronics devices, it's a wonder that today's
travelers have room to pack their
clothes!
Electronics have also begun to accessorize the home. When the
X-Box 360 sold out before Christmas 2005, eBay sellers raked in
the cash for the must-have gaming console, which sold on the
auction site for $1,000 or more. Plasma and LCD televisions are
proudly displayed on walls, while microchips are finding their
way into our kitchen appliances. While true wireless integration
is still some time away, the stage is being set for complete
interactivity among all our electronic devices.
Luckily for consumers, the cost of electronics goes down with
the passage of time. The newest and greatest must-have is sure
to be priced at a discount within eighteen months, and will
grace the clearance aisle a year after that. In the meantime,
those of us who don't have the cash or the desire to keep up
with the trends on the fashion runways or the trends in the
world of electronics can continue to observe how the other half
lives.
