What Does EBM Really Stand For?

Posted by csven | 28 Feb 2005 | Comments (0)

If you're a music fanatic, EBM probably means "electronic body music". And that came to my mind when I found this article over on BusinessWeek online headlined "Rewiring The Body". Anyway, for fun, I googled "ebm". Here's some of the results:

Electronic Body Music
Evidence-Based Medicine
Electronic Business Machines
Expertise By Manufacturers

Okay, so we have "body" + "medicine" + "business" + "manufacturing". Implantable mini-generators? Forget Procter & Gamble gadgetizing consumables - the real money is in gadgetizing our bodies. Maybe Ray Kurzweil is on to something - never say die.
