Taiwan's theme parks are gaining popularity as a tourist attraction through constant upgrading and active marketing.
If one opens this door and says the name of the place he or she wishes to go, they will be transported there as they pass through. The dokodemo door, literally the "anywhere" door, is one of the most common gadgets the popular cartoon character Doraemon takes out from his "fourth-dimensional pocket." That, together with a time machine and moshimo-box, a telephone booth device where the characters dial a number and propose a "what if" scenario that alters the world, all make their appearance in the Doraemon Story House at Window on China, one of Taiwan's leading theme parks. |

In this electronic age , new writing technologies seem to proliferate and evolve with alarming speed -- but of course, people have been coming up with new ways to communicate their thoughts for as long as language has existed at all. Writing itself -- writes Dennis Barron -- was once the object of much suspicion; Plato wrote that it could attenuate human memory, since writing things down would obviate the need to memorize them.
