Other Added - Social Interaction in the Age of the Internet
If you manage people for any length of time, it's likely that, at some stage, you'll need to let one or more people go.It might be because they aren't performing to your expectations; because you no longer need their role performed; or because they've breached the law or a company policy.Whatever the circumstances, firing or retrenching someone is a confr
To live, to really live, as in feel alive and vibrant, we need to regain an active spirit of human interest, we need to get involved in the process of life, in the details of the lives of others and we need to seek social antidotes to the intimate, yet meaningless, relationships we are having with computers, tel
The global digital animation industry is poised to grow to $70 billion by this year. The Indian animation industry is expected to reach $15 billion by 2008.

We flop out in front of the TV at the end of the day, we meet up with friends and then go to a place that is either too loud to hear each other, or too dark to see each other.
