It would be nice if this trend to fragmentation uses more segmentation based on ages and interests. For example: I never watch kids shows or action movies but my money is also invested on that kind of content.
It wouldn't be nice if in an human exploration on outer space we find a container full of unknown harmful waste from another civilization. That shouldn't be our first option.
Feeling attached to that kind of judgements is part of culture. Luckily culture changes trough time, this news opens the possibility that in some years this alternative could be as respectful as sustainable.
I'm talking about culture in its general concept as the "cumulative deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings..." I say it taking in account that changes in human behavior are not an abrupt jump from white to black.

There are a lot of questions around Gardasil vaccine.
I have a friend that had the vaccine and she has her body paralized 3 years for 3 years now. She's 17 years old, living in a bed and suffering depression. I know there could be another cause for her paralisys but the vaccine is still the most probable cause, so having the vaccine was her worst decision of her life.
There are a handful of cases of Guillain–Barré annually that coincide with the HPV vaccine administration. Flu vaccine is known to cause the same thing in rare cases, as well. But...
> “Our results show that Guillain-Barré is not occurring more often after HPV vaccination than it does in the general population.”
Side note: Even if the vaccination caused all 36 cases described in a two-year period, and even if that were elevated from the normal incidence in the unvaccinated population, HPV causes thousands of deaths annually from cervical cancer. Public health should be a matter of statistics, not anecdotes.
Well, is obvious I'm talking about a personal anecdote. Did I cite any investigation?
For the family of that girl and her close circle that is the image they have of the vaccine. I'm not saying the vaccine cause paralisis. I'm saying that for her it was the cause, they still don't have another explanation (no gillan-barre, nor wierd infection). Thats why in Colombia just a few people will allow to get that vaccine, out there you will find few cases like the one of my friend, but enough to make most woman reject its aplication.
Its just a view from that population perspective and why it impacts on the acceptance of the drug.
We need to stop how big companies are growing. It's not sustainable. If we don't implement new strategies we are going to live in a well known distopic future.
You all have seen the results of a company that dominates an specific market without limits.
I can't remember in which version of encarta, but when I was young I spent hours on those 3D recreations of famous places travels. I live in a developing country and the access for internet was too expensive, encarta was the best alternative to do my homeworks, find cool images to print, and have a look of the world.
It would be great it could become free for the development of those kids that still don't have access for good quality information.
Is sad to know how the actual style differs so much to the original. I usually see the modern architecture and design and perceive it as a cold, spirit lacking functional thing.
The start of this project was a more socialy sustainable utopy but it became a much simplier praise for materials and geometry.
Privacy is not an extra or a luxury thing, it is a right. If we keep this comoditization process in some years we are going to talk about an antidiscrimination price, or a true information price.
