The rest, most of whom are in developing countries, aren't able to benefit from the huge potential of the Web. This presentation explains why and how the problem could be solved with current technology.

Podcast: Worst Oil Spill In History Modeled on Supercomputer

Visit the This Week in Technology podcast, hosted by Steven Cherry.

Topic: Eye of the Oil Slick?

The worst oil spill in history is now in its sixth week, but this past week was special—it marked the beginning of the hurricane season. The U.S. National Science Foundation has awarded a team of researchers an emergency allocation of a million dollars’ worth of computer time at the Texas Advanced Computing Center to model different storm scenarios. Host Steven Cherry talks to one of those researchers, Clint Dawson, a professor of aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics at the University of Texas at Austin.
