Love-Hate Relationship
Seems that MIT research - Lemelson-MIT Invention Index to be exact - has determined that most of us can't live without our cell phones, but hate them for it. Multiple news sites have articles on this research, including USA Today, Miami Herald, and tons of others.

In other news du jour, The University of Utah is trying to double it's engineering graduates by 2007. So far, they have increased its engineering majors 32%. And they've got lots of donations coming in from industry. But they seem to have a jump on the Bush administration. With the President's plan to push to the moon and Mars, there is one really big obstacle - not enough people at NASA that have ths skills and know-how to kick it up a notch. Most of the engineers who worked on the first moon launches are now retired and there haven't been any new engineers to take their place. So he wants to add $12 million to R&D as noted in today's Boston Globe.
