One of the biggest stories in English newspapers recently has been about growing meat.  Scientists believe that it could be possible to grow meat in a laboratory by 2020. One of the reasons for the interest in growing meat is that it is expected that meat consumption will double by 2050. This also means that the price will increase so that meat may become a luxury. Also animals need lots of water, which means less water for humans. Added to this, in the future water might be in short supply. Whether you like it or not, laboratory meat may be the only option for us. (by Prof. Simon Smith)

Everyone uses the Internet, right? Well, not according to CNN news. They reported that one in five U.S adults don’t use it at all. The main reason given is that people are just not interested – not even in e-mail or Facebook. In America figures have shown that broadband connection has dropped from a peak in May 2010 which showed that 66% of U.S. adults had access, to recent figures where only 62% of U.S. adults have access at home. Not surprisingly those most without the Internet are mostly older people. So it seems that even something as powerful as the Internet has limits to what it can achieve.(by Prof. Simon Smith)
