POLL: HIGHER BANDWIDTH VS. NUTRICEUTICALS
Where's the real bandwidth bottleneck: in front of your eyeballs, or behind them? If you can artificially accelerate your mental comprehension, you're going to process data faster, but while an "always on" Internet connection is blessing, it's no picnic when that's going on inside your own skull. What does "high speed access" really mean today?
THE LIST
Speed-reading through our titanic hot-list of tempting websites has never been easier than with our new TIME Digital brow-mounted scanner. Even better, this neural toy can pick up even a preconscious urge to click on a website, and will take you there long before you actually make a conscious decision.
NET BANKING GUIDE
Join our veteran digital archeologists as they hunt through the Net for the wreckage of those fantastic info-intermediaries once known as "banks." Stare in wonder at photos of bricks and mortar
and bronze ashtrays, plush carpets and marble columns. Try to imagine how, for hundreds of years, these awesome analog enterprises made vast profits by deliberately standing between customers and their own money.
JARGON DAILY
People were once both stunned and irritated by the torrent of impenetrable jargon generated by computers. Nowadays we carefully measure this phenomenon with advanced bibliometric analysis. Watch techno-language re-invent itself for next week as paradigms collapse in real-time! Plus, our Automatic Jargon Translators can instantly push crazy terms like "wireless cable" into Telugu or Latvian.
[OMEGA]-COMMERCE DIRECTORY
Your burning desire for point-and-click consumer goods makes you a far more valuable customer (and subscriber) than some dweeb who's happy with the stuff they've already got. A shopaholic sparkplug like you should be *paid* for having desires! The mere fact that you love to shop makes you very special indeed! Please, please, just drop by and just tell us what you want
we're literally begging you!
TIME DIGITAL CRIMEWATCH
If you're a normal, level-headed person like the rest of us, you find international digital crime to be a matter of serious concern. But what exactly is a "crime" these days? After all, as we saw with digital music, a crime as serious as "piracy" can suddenly become perfectly normal behavior for millions of people worldwide within a matter of weeks! Evil "capital flight" becomes praiseworthy "global investing!" "Treasonous subversion" inside a country's borders becomes "investigative reporting" as soon as the facts reach the light! Let TIME Digital keep track of the many net-activities that have been freshly criminalized somewhere or other. Even more useful is our Indifference Meter, showing where and when local law enforcement is just plain getting tired and giving up.
WEBCAM HILITES
Thanks to ubiquitous and totally candid coverage from tens of thousands of urban security videos, TIME Digital has compiled enough stunning footage from the 2025 New Year's celebrations to last you the entire viewing year. There's literally not a single dull moment in this vast archive because that's just the *good stuff,* and every single frame contains some mind-boggling act of public excess. Watch in awe as the human race convulses in their billions from the International Date Line all the way around the globe!
