> Hi! Jack,

 You have chosen a very  interesting and wide field.  To begin with I beleive
that each and every technology has a remarkable impact on the market  and thus
the business.

At this point of time I would like you to refer to Telcomine
(http://www.infozech.com/telcomine.html), a monthly newsletter
from Infozech. Telcomine brings out the latest trends and developments in
frontline IT Technologies.  To subscribe send a mail to nl@infozech.com. The

I am quoting an article from its current issue:

"Artificial Brain to Pick Your Investments

A software brain is about to be launched to scan the Internet and tell owners
which shares to buy and sell. Intelligenesis, an American artificial-
intelligence company, claims to have developed a system based on the human
brain that can scan thousands of newswires and market reports to pick out
companies that are likely to do well.

The system called Webmind is based on the way the human brain operates. Says
Liza Pazer, the President of Intelligenesis, �As our system scans newswires
it looks for meanings in sentences and links similar data together in the
same way the brain does. For instance, if you were looking for information on
a particular company, the system would look not just at that company but also
at companies in similar areas. It would then use all this data to predict how
the company will perform.�

Initially, the system will be available only to Wall Street traders. Tests of
a prototype have shown a success rate of 90 percent in predicting the Dow
Jones index. Wall Street�s best traders had a success rate of only 63
percent."

This article suggests that technology plays a remarkable role in any business
environment.

As you are not dealing in any specific business, I am giving you a brief
outline of the current issue, which deals with technologies in different
fields	I am sure it will be of great help to you.
