EVER SINCE the evolution of 3D movies, 3D TVs, 3D computer graphics and 3D productions, many have wondered how further this industry could evolve. Imagine a world where a person can design a product of his choice, choose its components, configure its size and color, and just click “print" complete the final product. The product can be literally anything: a hamburger you have been craving for days, a shirt you were lazy to get at the store the other day, a bicycle you always wanted to buy, or a simple gift for loved ones. All that is required is imagination and, of course, a 3D printer. What i

FASHION IS perhaps one of the mostdynamic cultural phenomena nowadays.With the development of communicationtechnologies, now it takes less than a day to geta grip of seasonal trends introduced on therunways of Paris and New York. Detailedphotographs of these collections are uploadedon the Internet right after the show, whichenables the fashion industry to quickly adoptthe new trends into their products. However,such a fast transmission of influence betweenthe fashion runways and the consumer industryensures the “fickle enthusiasm” of consumers.Yesterday’s “hot item” becomes “out of date”within a few weeks. Thus the “fast fashion”industry has advanced in the market. With thegrowth of the global Specialty retailer ofPrivate label Apparel (SPA) retailers, fast fashionhas become the prevalent trend in theworldwide fashion industry. Korea is not anexception. When you walk down the streets ofMyeongdong, you can see giant stores of ZARA,H&M, or UNIQLO. These days, many youngpeople enjoy buying clothes in these stores.

UNIVERSITY OFTEN reminds people of an independent and romantic campus life. The reality is not the same, though. The old image of a student playing guitar on the green grass of the campus is nowhere to be seen. Police no longer chases student demonstrators; the movie *The Magnificent Holiday* seems so estranged from reality. Many believe the distinctive culture of university students no longer exists. However, university culture is still evolving to this date, and it is worthwhile to focus on this issue for it is directly related to us.

DID YOU know that your brain contains about 100 billion neurons, which is about 16 times the total number of people on Earth? Moreover, though the brain weighs only about 2% of overall body weight, it uses up to 20% of the body’s energy, while controlling the entire body. If the concept of “well-being” has prevailed until now, *well-thinking* recently has risen to the surface. These days, people are not satisfied only with getting and staying in shape, as well as eating healthily; their area of interest has extended to the brain. Well-thinking is not yet commonly known among people, but interest in numerous products like games and food beneficial to the brain have signaled the growth of this trend. The era of well-thinking has emerged.

BEEP, BEEP! Beep, beep! To the sound of the abrupt early morning alarm, most people wake up still deeply immersed in sleep, with neither makeup nor neat hair. However, such a scene had been an exception to some: stars on TV. Stars were always portrayed with makeup, tidy hair, and dressy clothes even when they were pictured as having just gotten out of bed. Nonetheless, along with the popularity of reality programs, celebrities have started to show a diversity of natural everyday images, unlike the past when they only tried to maintain pretty or handsome images. They have not only conveyed the message that stars are also human beings just like the general public but also shattered the prevailing illusions regarding stars. Star personas evolved as society changed.
