For people too busy (or lazy) to do a task, an all-purpose helper is dream and in South Korea that dream is a business &#8211;a booming business. The service industry has taken off in the country as more people gain disposable income and society shifts to a more individualistic community.
Companies hire an army of men and women who are available around the country for almost any odd job and charge based on the complexity or difficulty of each task.  These &#8220;instead-men&#8221; as they are called, get jobs ranging from hanging out with grandparents and killing bugs to simple food delivery [...]]]></description>

This week, South Korea saw the launch of Fine Digital’s FineDrive IQ, a GPS navigation device that provides an English Language trainer constructed on voice recognition software- so commuters can bone up on their English while entrenched in their daily trek to the office.
Digital Multimedia Broadcast (DMB) television, traffic alerts and audio/video playback are included as well. Although this isn’t available outside of South Korea, one could surely see this being an effective tool in any country for those who travel internationally or have a curiosity or need to learn a new language.

		<description><![CDATA[Former CEO and current South Korean president Lee Myung-bak is at the center of a controversial new set of laws aimed at policing the country&#8217;s internet space. Once accused by the Korean blogosphere of supporting foreign beef imports, Lee is fighting back with the Justice Ministry to create a Cyber Defamation Law. The law would guard against what Lee dubs &#8220;Infodemics&#8221;— inaccurate, widely disseminated information that prompts social unrest. Unsurprisingly, the law has begun to generate the type of government backlash you&#8217;d come to expect in a country with millions of online citizen journalists.
