Philip's New Article
Cars could soon come with parental controls that limit what younger drivers can do with a car.
Developed by Ford, the “MyKey” system limits a car's top speed, how loud its stereo can be, and sounds warnings if seatbelts are not being worn. So to get things straight, the cars can have adjustable limits.
Ford will introduce the controls on some US makes of car that are due to first show up in 2009 but go on sale in 2010.
The Ford Focus will be the first to have MyKey, but the car maker said it would become a standard feature.
The main element of the MyKey system is to limit the top speed of a car to 80mph.
Ford says other options allow parents or what ever to limit the volume on the car stereo and make the car sound a continuous alert if drivers and passengers are not wearing a seatbelt.
Other options will let parents decide if warning tones should sound if a car goes faster than 45, 55 or 65 mph.
Another feature is that you can make the car require a drivers license of some type, like your own or you Childs” It’s making use of existing technology, and through the magic of software, we're able to build features on top of the features we already have," said Jim Buczkowski, Ford's director of electronic and electrical systems engineering.
Ford's compact version of the Focus, which is due to go on sale in 2010, will be the first to sport MyKey. But a spokesman said it would spread to all cars in the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury range as models are updated.
"Research we've done has shown that speeding is a major factor in teen crashes, especially novice teen drivers," Anne McCartt, senior vice president for research at the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, told the AP news agency.
"So I think a system that tries to correct the speeding behavior has the potential to improve safety," she added. This technology is surely to change the way of cars and car-safety.

PHILIPS {-=NEW=-} ARTICLE
Pictures Without A Camera
Stephen Wiltshire, a not-so normal person in London is, well, not so normal. He is a college student, majoring in visual art. Not only is his art spectacular, but his memory is photographic. His art is sights he’s seen, everyday things that he liked. He plays piano and you would think he’d be great, knowing that his memory is incredible, but if he messes up on one thing, it’s impossible to fix. When the media found out about his photographic memory, they wanted to proof. So they took him on a 15-minute helicopter ride around London. When he got back, he was told to draw what he saw on the ride. He received a very large piece of paper, and started to draw. When he finished, the media wanted to see that he didn’t just draw buildings and houses. So, they resolved the problem by calling in random people to find there houses on the drawing. All of the people found their houses and apartments and said they look almost exactly the same. Stephen was asked to draw other cities, such as Rome and Tokyo, which he did. “It’s autism,” people say. “It’s not natural.”
Stephen does have signs of autism, eating the exact same lunch every single day is not really normal but, who cares?
After Stephen did the tasks the media asked, they made it into a program called “The Human Camera” and he still makes art today.
