Caveat emptor: Consumerism and gadgetry The UAE is famed for its unique and exciting shopping experiences. Shops and malls are regularly hosting sale after sale, and they later jump into shopping deals and offers. The Dubai Shopping Festival is world-renowned for its delights, and Sharjah hosts its own Spring Shopping Festival. The impact of consumerism is evident in the manner in which electronic companies routinely release “upgraded” models of their products, with each latest model claiming to be better than its predecessor. There have been numerous critics of “youngsters” spending inordinate sums of money on gadget after gadget to the point where youth is intangibly discursively linked to overconsumption. But how much of this is truth, and how much is falsehood? The Gulf Today decided to speak to a number of random individuals to find out just how youth is related to spending patterns.

Hello Aliens; Anybody There ? Most people, from having watched so many science-fiction and alien movies, I think, are convinced that there are intelligent and advanced extra-terrestrial 'ET' species out there. However, if they do not come to us or contact us, perhaps we should go to them or at least contact them. Indeed, the fust few spacecrafts that we sent out through the solar system, Pioneer 10 and 11 (launched in 1972 and 1973, respectively) and Voyager 1 and 2 (both launched in 1977), all carried plaques with information about us and our planet, analog discs (1970s' technology), with explanations about how to read the discs. But these spacecrafts have a very long way to go, having in 40 years travelled one per cent of the distance to the nearest star. The more plausible method for reaching out to aliens, an approach known as Active Seti, is to send out radio signals and laser beams with inm Nidhal Guessoum is a professor of physics and astronomy at the American University of Sharjah.
