Star Trek
Around 1989 I was having lunch with coworkers when one person asked what seemed at the time to be a reasonable question, "How does the computer on Star Trek know everything?", like maybe that would be impossible.
Best wishes,

How Bill Gate Made Microsoft
Not sure if you would like this or not. The documentary is about 18 years old. So it is a little out of date. Much of the information is available in other places. Nevertheless, I found it pretty interesting, but these kinds of things always interest me.

Yavin 4
---------- Forwarded message ----------

Maybe what we thought was a sentry in star wars on Yavin 4 was just a cell tower repairman...
Globally, no country has yet to hit the important milestone of 50Mbps average speeds. Analysts have been predicting that a country (South Korea or Singapore) would hit the magic number this year, but both are still stuck at about 45Mbps.
Mind you, that number doesn't look so bad when you scroll all the way down to the United States, languishing at 14Mbps. The list of nations with faster mobile internet includes powerhouses like Lebanon (23Mbps), Romania (25Mbps) and Serbia (33Mbps).
There is one tiny beacon of hope: the US is doing well in terms of 4G availability, measured as the "proportion of time users have access to a particular network." The US is fifth of all countries, which is a huge achievement considering how widely spread parts of the US's population is.
