It’s amazing to see that Joshua and Caleb were as awesome in the Lord old as they were young. I would hope that we all end up this way.
Go ahead and read Joshua 15-16, Romans 13, and then the entry.

In today’s society, researchers strive to make developments in technology to help the elderly cope with their physical limitations due to advanced age and illnesses. Some examples of this include hearing aids, motorized wheelchairs, voice amplifiers and breathing apparatuses provided with oxygen. Now a professor from Japan is poised to offer the elderly a robotic suit that allows them to do active labor in their old age.
His name is Shigeki Toyama, from the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. Professor Toyama calls his creation the Power Assist Suit. Two versions of the suits have been developed for the elderly. There is a heavy-duty, 66-pound model intended to allow seniors to lift large loads and the lighter model is 50 pounds for less demanding work. Apparently, these suits are capable of boosting the strength of the wearer over sixty percent and they are also voice-activated. According to student Gohei Yamamoto, who gave a demonstration of the suit, a farmer’s back will be firmly supported when he bends over to uproot produce. He said that the rods along the user’s legs will straighten immediately after a vocal command is given. Then he would have enough strength to harvest crops by hand easily.
Toyama has been developing the Power Assist Suit for fifteen years now. He plans to put it into mass production this year and release it on the market in 2012. However, he doesn’t intend for his creation to go beyond the borders of Japan at this time. The suit’s cost will be about $11,000. Toyama also wants to create an augmented reality display as an accessory for the Power Assist Suit. The purpose of the display will be to give important data about the user’s surroundings and provide current status of his vital signs so he will have an good idea of how much stress his body is presently under. This creation could be a revolutionary breakthrough in technology to help the elderly and disabled but has Mr. Toyama considered that it could be turned into a weapon? How then could such technology be kept from falling into the wrong hands?
Since the world is still reeling from last weekend’s release of the iPad, Apple is attempting to wow consumers further with their newest development, the iPhone OS 4.0. So far, fifty million iPhones have been sold, along with 450,000 iPads and OS 4.0 is scheduled to be applied to phones this summer. Then the iPad will get this upgrade in the fall. Obviously, people are wondering what the OS 4.0 can do. Well, here’s a rundown of its features and capabilities.
First of all, it offers multi-tasking. You can run applications with a double tap of the home button, pause games at any time and there’s a tray available for switching between applications. This tray pushes up the other home icons and has a metallic background. However, you will be facing limitations in using active applications even though you have the ability to switch between them easily. Furthermore, multi-tasking will not be available for iPhone 3G or the second generation iPod touch and there is no task manager to do the app. organization for you, either.
Second, seven background services are available for use. For background audio, you can play Pandora and manage it with pop-up controls. For background VoIP, Skype calls are still compatible, you can switch applications, a “return to call” button is available and you will be able to receive Skype calls on a locked phone. Push and local notifications are still available but local ones are for in-phone applications, pop-up alarms, etc. Fast app. switching is now possible. This feature allows you to store one app. in its present state as you switch to another one and then back to the previous one. The final background service is task completion, which allows for an upload if you close an app.
Next, folders are available for storing lists of usable applications. Up to 2160 applications can be stored for future use. There are also homescreen wallpapers, enhanced mail and unified mail to combine web mail, Mobile Me and multiple exchange accounts. A thread organization is provided as a more powerful inbox and attachments are now possible for third party email. Of course, iBooks are possible, similar to how they work on the iPad and you can sync bookmarks and between devices. There is also better email encryption and SSL VPN support for non-bold text. Then, gaming features include being able to challenge friends, compare high scores on leaderboards and do matchmaking and achievements. The OS 4.0 also supports Bluetooth keyboards. Lastly, ads will be appear in HTML 5, they are fully interactive and they now have access to APIs, which includes location and accelerometer as well.
However, there is no confirmation that it supports cameras with flash, and how easily you can download applications is another unanswered question.
