In a shopping center, you stand before a vending machine, and dial a number on your mobile phone. Seconds later, the food will fall on a shelf in the machine. It is a very easy way to get something to eat, the cost of which will show up on your mobile phone bill at the end of the month. In some restaurants, you dial a number after the waitress hands you your bill and get a receipt from the cashier. Mobile phones have become so important a part of life here that many people can not leave home without their phones. Nearly 80 percent of Finland’s five million people own mobile phones.
There are many more mobile phones than fixed ones in the country. That Finns describe themselves as perfect mobile phone users is not because they like to talk much but on the contrary. Finns are not very eager to talk. They are shy, but they are very eager to enjoy high-tech. Among teenagers, mobile phone ownership hits 100 percent. Many log on Web sites to download personalized music or pictures for their phones. Surveys show that Finns send an average of 25 messages a month on their mobile phones. Teachers have to ban the phones during exams to prevent cheating.
Mobile phones and related hand-held devices will make it technically possible to eliminate cash within ten years. Making that socially acceptable, however, may take longer. About 75 percent of all transactions in Finland are already performed with credit and debit cards. Except for mortgage(抵押) payments, which still require paperwork, mobile phones can perform any traditional banking function. Checks have not been used for at least five years. These provide a good start for mobile commerce. More and more people accept the mobile payment devices because of its fast and convenient service. Banks are beginning to join with enterprises to test a system that integrates(使一体化) the mobile payment devices with a cash register. Mobile commerce, as the theory goes, is entering people’s life step by step.

In Finland, home of Nokia, which makes 30 percent of the mobile phones sold around the world, and veritable mobile phone capital of the world, a mobile phone is not just a phone. It is a credit card, a menu, a stock ticker, and an entertainment center. It is a multifunction server. It is a passport to the future. In the high-tech world of telephones, Finland clearly leads the world. By pressing their phone’s buttons and reading text messages on small screens, the Finns can tinnier money in their bank accounts, trade stocks, purchase products used daily, rent videos, buy movie tickets, order flowers, and pay for parking—all without ever talking to anyone, that is to say, without using a phone for its traditional purpose.

Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used a computer model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States.
The result: 10% fewer heart attacks, 8% fewer strokes, 4% fewer deaths, 11% fewer new cases of heart disease, and 240 billion dollars in health care savings.
Researchers found it could prevent 100,000 heart attacks and 92,000 deaths every year.
The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of California, San Francisco was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams, or one half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University.
Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium（钠）, which is how foods may list their salt content.
The government says the average American man ears ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies, while blood pressures have also rise. Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants. Critics call it government interference.
Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children’s Research Institute show that the calorie information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children.
