THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained with Richard Aedy. This
week: "IMAGENation" - There is a lot of data out there - the trendy
expression is data deluge. Getting all that data from the computer into
the brain has so far proven difficult.
"Keys that talk to locks" - In the age of card-controlled locks it is
expensive to connect every door to a central computer. But if only some
doors are wired up security is compromised. "What's your address?" - We
know where we live - most of us anyway - but only insofar as we know
our address. Precise geographical position, in terms of latitude and
longtitude, is another thing entirely. [%]
2105 -

example of the 1970s 'roadie'. Howard has looked after Billy Thorpe,

AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, hosted by
Roger Broadbent. This week, Roger writes, "It’s now thirty years since
Darwin, in Australia’s Northern Territory, was devastated by Cyclone
Tracey and this week, using ABC Archives, Police records, and The
Northern Territory Archives' Oral History Collection, the Australian
Express looks back at Darwin before the storm, at the storm itself, the
aftermath and the clean up and Darwin today. Cyclone Tracy formally
came into existence at 10 AM on 21 December 1974, when it lay well to
Darwin's north. By late afternoon on 24 December 1974 Darwin was
cloaked by heavy and low cloud and it was experiencing ever stronger
rain squalls and wind gusts. By about 10 PM the winds were causing
physical damage. By midnight the damage was becoming serious, and it
was apparent that Cyclone Tracy was about to pass across the city. Over
the next six hours Tracy substantially destroyed Darwin and killed 65
people - 49 on land, and 16 at sea."
Roger Broadbent hopes you’ll join him for this special edition of the
Australian Express as we prepare to celebrate Christmas 2004.
