You cannot do this since it give it to ALL Book Publishers. Thus the code cannot be put on normal buildings. Please do not list that anymore unless you are designing a Wonder.

Oh I see, I understand now. They are gonig to have to be edited.

Neural Networks Customer Service Center (Automated)

Customer service may be provided by a person (e.g., sales and service representative), or by automated means. Examples of automated means are Internet sites. An advantage with automated means is an increased ability to provide service 24-hours a day, which can, at least, be a complement to customer service by persons.[6]
Another example of automated customer service is by touch-tone phone, which usually involves a main menu, and the use of the keypad as options (i.e. "Press 1 for English, Press 2 for Spanish", etc.)

Virtual Reality Virtual reality therapy

The primary use of VR in a therapeutic role is its application to various forms of exposure therapy, ranging from phobia treatments to newer approaches to treating PTSD. A very basic VR simulation with simple sight and sound models has been shown to be invaluable in phobia treatment, like zoophobia, and acrophobia, as a step between basic exposure therapy such as the use of simulacra and true exposure.

Virtual Reality VR Laboratory / VR Designer

irtual reality can serve to new product design, helping as an ancillary tool for engineering in manufacturing processes, new product prototypes, and simulation. Among other examples, electronic design automation, CAD, Finite Element Analysis, and computer-aided manufacturing are widely utilized programs.[citation needed] The use of Stereolithography and 3D printing shows how computer graphic modeling can be applied to create physical parts of real objects used in naval,[21] aerospace,[22] and automotive industries,[23] which can be seen, for example, in the VR laboratory of VW in Mladá Boleslav. Beyond modeling assembly parts, 3D computer graphics techniques are currently used in the research and development of medical devices for therapies,[24][25][26] treatments,[27] patient monitoring,[28] and early diagnoses[29] of complex diseases.

A lot of the first ones seem like they are already covered by ...

in addition many of your ideas would probably come at earlier techs than you propose.

Just because they were invented before computers doesn't mean they have to be all redone.

I don't mean to be picky but a lot of these are really vague or don't think should be their own building.

I was 50-50 on all of them, wanted to hear others thoughts. It was because I was came across a Knowledge Management company and they had alot of options. I wasn't sure if they were relevant.

Agree, there are actually very few budings worth of being upgraded to its "computerized " flavor.

The #1 Reason was because of personalized ads that use algorithms to find you personalized recommendations at shopping sites. The building can go in Online communities or Direct Merchandising.

What are your thoughts of having the concept of having specific website categories as buildings?

Online Communites

Also thoughts on the following "buildings"

Abiogenesis is a natural process by which life arises from simple organic compounds. The earliest life on Earth existed at least 3.5 billion years ago,[6][7][8] during the Eoarchean Era when sufficient crust had solidified following the molten Hadean Eon.

Scientific hypotheses about the origins of life may be divided into several categories. Most approaches investigate how self-replicating molecules or their components came into existence. For example, the Miller–Urey experiment and similar experiments demonstrated that most amino acids, often called "the building blocks of life", can be racemically synthesized in conditions thought to be similar to those of the early Earth. Several mechanisms have been investigated, including lightning and radiation. Other approaches ("metabolism first" hypotheses) focus on understanding how catalysis in chemical systems in the early Earth might have provided the precursor molecules necessary for self-replicatio

Proposed TECh changes

Rename Digital Warfare to Digital Culture or Digital Society (we already have Cyberwarfare)
Rename Flash Memory to Digital Electronics

Add Back Digitized Fabrics (We have Wearable Computers)
Add Back Molecular Assembler (We have Microwave)
Add Back Picotechnology (we have Nanotechnology)
Add Back Immersive Reality (We have Virtual Reality)
Add Back Binary Legislation (We have Gene Jurisprudence)


The rest I'm not to worried about, and Agree with the reasons why they were deleted. .

 

[Hydromancerx]

I don't think we need a separate building for an Abiogenisis Simulator. The boost in tech from Genesis Biology in the Evolution Simulator should be enough to represent this.

Extends the capabilities of video conferencing for use on hand-held mobile devices in real-time over secure networks. For use in diverse industries such as manufacturing, energy, healthcare

Mobile collaboration is technology-based process of communicating using electronic assets and accompanying software designed for use in remote locations. Newest generation hand-held electronic devices feature video, audio, and telestration (on-screen drawing) capabilities broadcast over secure networks, enabling multi-party conferencing in real time (although real time communication is not a strict requirement of mobile collaboration and may not be applicable or practical in many collaboration scenarios)
Differing from traditional video conferencing, mobile collaboration utilizes wireless, cellular and broadband technologies enabling effective collaboration independent of location. Where traditional video conferencing has been limited to boardrooms, offices, and lecture theatres, recent technological advancements have extended the capabilities of video conferencing for use with discreet, hand-held mobile devices, permitting true mobile collaborative possibilities.[1]

Mechatronics is a design process that includes a combination of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, control engineering and computer engineering. Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of engineering, that is to say, it rejects splitting engineering into separate disciplines. Originally, mechatronics just included the combination of mechanics and electronics, hence the word is a combination of mechanics and electronics; however, as technical systems have become more and more complex the word has been "updated" during recent years to include more technical areas.
French standard NF E 01-010 gives the following definition: “approach aiming at the synergistic integration of mechanics, electronics, control theory, and computer science within product design and manufacturing, in order to improve and/or optimize its functionality".

Nice ideas!

I have not much time right now, but I was thinking of merging buildings together. Like, It would make sense to merge Protein, DNA, Biology, Microbiology, Animal Testing Lab to a "Biological Research Complex". This complex would require all of the above buildings and replace them all. He would also have their combined bonuses + an extra bonus. This can be done for all "related" science buildings. And this could be done with smaller steps:

Complex A at Tech X would require Lab 1 and Lab 2. Complex B at Tech Y could require Complex A and Lab 3 and Lab 4 and Complex C.... You know what I mean? The Biological Research Complex could be a medium complex, that can be merged at a later tech with a Chemical and Physics Complex. Problem would be that Physics are strongly related to Volcanology AND Biology, while Volcanology and Biology are not very related (except for some Archaes living in cooking H2SO4 near Volcanos

What do you think?

 

[Hydromancerx]

@Faustmouse

I don't know if that's the best idea. Animal Testing Lab and Microbiology Lab can be quite different. Not to mention the buildings that already depend upon those buildings. I think the labs should be separate. Otherwise we should have kept them as just a single Laboratory building or University. So a strong NO from me.
