- DirectorLarry O'ReillyStarsDwight WeistEmerging technologies and their uses are presented. Converting them to electricity, solar and nuclear are only two potential power sources, the latter which need not be used for destruction as the public better knows it. Computers are starting to replace what used to be manual human functions, humans who are only required to maintain and supervise the computers for their function. Warfare has turned to these electronic control systems, as witnessed by the guided missiles which, once set on its target, can reach said target regardless of changes in that target's path. The development of television has far ranging uses beyond home entertainment as it allows monitoring and thus controlling of commercial and industrial functions far from the viewer, including magnifying the images. Advances in recording technology allows playback of both video and/or audio immediately after recording for perpetuity. One of the technologies of the future are video calls. The development of the transistor allows for many of these technologies to function. Many of these future technologies will be conveniences for everyday life. Despite much of the focus being on non-human functions, it still requires human brain power as the driving engine.watch tcm 1/20

- StarsJames A. FitzPatrickLocated in the United Kingdom, the Principality of Wales, home to 2.5 million people, is filled with rolling mountains, and green valleys. Because of its culture and language, it is unique within the UK. Much of the economy is based on small independent farms, but also includes coal and slate mining. Its many castles - including Caernarfon and Conwy - comprise its most famous built landmarks. Another landmark is the Menai suspension bridge - spanning the Menai Straits - the longest such structure in the UK. As Wales is a largely coastal jurisdiction, the Welsh have taken advantage of water opportunities, whether it be for fishing, or for recreation at one of the many coastal resorts, such as the most famous, Llandudno. There are also mountain resorts, such as Betws-y-Coed. Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales, offers great hiking and climbing opportunities. However, most ascend and descend the mountain on the unique railway, which despite its several safety measures, still thrills its passengers by its seemingly dangerous traverse, as do the many sheep dotting the mountainside.watch tcm 1/20; James A.
