One industry group says companies need to wake up and start training and recruiting young professionals to replace them. If they don't, the group warns, in a few years there won't be anyone left to work the mainframe. http://www.search390.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid10_gci818438,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- THE MISSING LINK | Using robotics, researchers give upgrade to lowly rats Remember when "The Rescuers" was just an animated movie? Rescuer rats are no longer furry, scaly-tailed figments of Disney's imagination. Scientists have wired up rats' brains and turned them into "rodentbots," so to speak. Using tiny video cameras to "see" and a laptop to send radio signals, scientists can "steer" the rats with stimuli. Hitting the J key makes them scurry left, L makes them dart right and K sends the reward -- a shot of euphoria to the brain's pleasure center. No, this will not be the next hot pet/toy in Japan. Scientists hope to put the high-tech vermin to work inspecting disaster areas.
