OpenStack Open Source Cloud Computing Software SAGE Journals Online Issuu - You Publish Behance Outfitter :: Products and Tools for Creative Professionals For too long, Creatives have suffered from inefficiency, disorganization, and careers at the mercy of bureaucracy. Behance aims to organize, connect, and empower creative careers, so the best ideas can see the light of day. Behance’s “Action” and “Dot Grid” product lines have become indispensable utilities for Creatives at work. Back in 2006, when the Behance team was just imagining ways to organize and empower creative people, they knew that they needed to start with themselves. So the very first thing they designed was the Action Pad. As Scott Belsky and Matias Corea from Behance tell the story, "Brainstorming from our apartments during the hours outside our day jobs, we used our personal Action Pads to capture and complete countless action steps that ultimately pushed Behance from vision to reality. Ghostly and Behance partnered in 2014 to bring Behance's paper product line to more people around the world.
The Future of the Internet—And How to Stop It The Future of the Internet explains the engine that has catapulted the Internet from backwater to ubiquity—and reveals that it is sputtering precisely because of its runaway success. With the unwitting help of its users, the generative Internet is on a path to a lockdown, ending its cycle of innovation—and facilitating unsettling new kinds of control. As tethered appliances and applications eclipse the PC, the very nature of the Internet—its “generativity,” or innovative character—is at risk. The Internet’s current trajectory is one of lost opportunity. This project is meant to put the themes of this new book into practice and to facilitate an ongoing conversation about something that will affect us all. The Institute for the Future of the Book has designed this platform, through which readers can engage with the text, with Jonathan Zittrain, and with each other. This is a collaborative experiment, which will depend on the intelligent participation of readers for its success.
La hipertextualidad antes de internet La novela decimonónica, con su estructura aristotélica compuesta por inicio, desarrollo y desenlace, era puesta en duda por una serie de autores que, después de un artículo publicado en Le Monde en 1957, se les conocería como escritores de la nouveau roman. Hoy no es extraño, ya, hablar de la hipertextualidad para referirnos al cambio de paradigma en el que estamos sumergidos. Las ya no tan nuevas tecnologías han posibilitado que un texto nos lleve a otro saltando con un único clic, y combinando formatos como el audio y el vídeo en una misma pantalla. No escribimos ni leemos como Balzac, ¿Pero es culpa de la red? La editorial Capitán Swing acaba de publicar el libro-artefacto Composición nº1 de Marc Saporta -considerado miembro de la nouveau roman -, que salió a la luz originariamente en 1962 y que se lee como una baraja de cartas lanzadas al azar. El autor, en el prefacio, nos avisa: "Se ruega que el lector disponga de estas páginas como de una baraja de cartas. Composicion nº 1
