Trying to protect sensitive personal information from prying eyes is not something particular to the digital age — it’s just human nature. Before digital encryption and data lockers — and before the concept of identity theft even existed — passwords and their kin guarded secrets and kept conversations A-to-B. The first computer password was developed in 1961 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, when most people had never even seen a computer. Decades earlier, Nazis used “Enigma machines” to guard evil secrets.

Depuis quelques années, les écoles de commerce se sont peu à peu appropriées le web et les réseaux sociaux comme véritables outils de communication. Si certaines s’en servent comme simple dispsitif pour réunir et suivre leurs anciens étudiants, d’autres, en revanche, voient le digital comme un réel levier marketing d’acquisition de nouveaux étudiants. Partant de ce constat, le site MédiaEtudiant.fr s’est penché sur la stratégie digitale des écoles autour de 3 grandes thématiques : le social, le web et le mobile. Dans cette optique et en partenariat avec l’agence Kreactive, Media Etudiant a élaboré un premier baromètre mensuel de visibilité 2.0 des écoles de commerce. L’infographie suivante récapitule les principaux enseignements de cette étude.

We know that The New York Times graphics department produces some of the best visualizations in the world. We have seen its director, Steve Duenes, give a talk about some of their best works and provide some answers on their internal approach. Who I had not seen talk before, however, is Amanda Cox, whose name is often featured on quite some innovative works, such as the voronoi treemap showing the Consumer Price Index, the interactive timeline revealing Michael Jackson's career statistics, the streamgraphs that map how people spend their day, or the dense yet intuitive line graphs that unravel the potential socio-demographic drivers of the unemployment in the US. In the small collection of (4 different) videos you can watch below , Amanda shares some of the lessons the group has learned along the way, particularly on how to integrate real interactivity with storytelling, and how to strike a balance between clarity and creating a sense of wonder.

Tech Creeps Into Top Toy Trends of Last 30 Years
When it comes to the most-wanted toys of the holiday season over the past 30 years, one thing is clear: The toy market has become way more tech-centric. Between 1981-1990, Donkey Kong, Lazer Tag and Nintendo’s Game Boy stood out as the lone tech toys desired by kids. In the following decade, the same number of tech toys were coveted, including Tickle Me Elmo, Tamagotchi and Furby. The new millennium brought a change in kid’s most-desired gifts. Since 2003, every one of the top toys was either robotic or a tech gadget: Robosapiens, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, iPod touch, Biscuit My Lovin’ Pup, Zhu Zhu Pets and the iPad. Of course, calling an iPod or iPad a toy overlooks the majority of its uses.

It's broken out into "dollars, thousands, millions, billions, trillions"...here's just a little snippet of the billions section:Le symbolisme de la mort et des lieux de recueillement est riche en signes, en messages et en imaginaire, du plus particulier aux symboles utilisés sur les pierres tombales dans le monde entier. Parce que quiconque nait, mourra un jour, c’est une condition qui rassemble tous les humains (et toute la vie en générale), et donc le centre de nombreuses traditions, de nombreuses cultures, coutumes, symboles…

Si la Terre est surnommée la planète bleue, ce n’est pas pour rien. En effet, si on la regarde dans sa totalité, on se rend compte qu’elle est recouverte par bien plus d’eau que de terre. Pourtant, ce qui se cache sous ces océans et mers est encore un monde plutôt inconnu et qui possède, j’en suis sûr, de nombreux trésors. Cette infographie démystifie un peu tout cela et nous donne quelques informations textuelles et chiffrées très intéressantes sur les profondeurs marines.
