6 Authors Who Might Actually Convince You To Unplug | Kim Stolz So, I recently wrote a book (Unfriending My Ex: And Other Things I'll Never Do) about my addiction to social media and my iPhone. Because of the slippery slope that social media (and texting) provided me in acting out my most dangerous and risky impulses, I found myself inspired to write a brutally honest memoir that I'd hoped my generation (and anyone who has ever felt the chainlike pull of their digital activity) might be able to relate to and thus gain some perspective on their own social media-led activity. I started off with a digital detox (no iPhone, no computer, no Wi-Fi, no DVR, no iPad... Here are six authors who might actually make you want to unplug: Nnamdi Osuagwu, author of Facebook Addiction: The Life & Times of Social Networking Addicts Everybody needs a little fiction in their life, though one might hypothesize that we may be only a few short years away from significant parts of this book becoming a reality.

Digital Paper Could Become Like 'Google Docs for Artists' | Wired Design Computer engineers have turned ordinary paper into a display with a UV lighting technique, which could one day help artists work on real-time collaborations from opposite sides of the world. Researchers from the Naemura Group at the University of Tokyo call the method “paper computing technology”. Ordinary paper is coated with a photochromic material, which changes color when light is shone on it. A pen filled with commonly available Frixion thermo-sensitive ink (which disappears when heated) is then used to draw the image, and a digital UV projector with a resolution of 1,024×768 can be used to copy or print that image onto the paper again. A laser illuminates the image from underneath to erase it to an accuracy of 0.024mm — it can even do this automatically, learning where an error has occurred and the user has strayed from their intended line. By syncing the projector and laser up to a camera and computer, a user controlling the latter can make amendments to the image.

amazon Come apprende un "nativo" digitale. Una testimonianza Eugenio “esposto” al PC fin dalla più tenera età I miei dubbi sull’esistenza dei “nativi digitali” l’ho espressa più volte anche in questo blog giungendo alla conclusione (vedi anche il paper pubblicato nel post precedente) che se proprio vogliamo usare questa espressione, la dobbiamo prendere alla leggera e, in senso lato, per identificare lo studente d’oggi alle prese con la scuola del passato (non possiamo certamente definire” contemporanea” la scuola che questi studenti frequentano). Nulla, quindi, di correlato al “digitale” in senso stretto in quanto questi “nativi” sono portatori di tematiche che hanno radici ben più profonde di quelle del digitale e non sempre correlata alla “questione digitale” che è solo una di quelle tematiche. Voglio qui portare un’esperienza vissuta su come apprende un ragazzo d’oggi, su come questo affronta “compiti di apprendimento” e sui risultati che ottiene. Eu, che bazzzica dalle parti del PC fin da piccino, passa ore e ore a “lavorare” con il computer.

Graphene-made e-paper by 2015 and anticancer drugs by 2030 Ultra-strong and self-healing copycat material graphene has been the subject of intense excitement since Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselo extracted it from bulk graphite in 2004, earning them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. Now, an international team of physicists led by Novoselo has published a paper laying out a timeline of future uses for the incredibly versatile material, which includes its role in anticancer drugs and rollable e-paper. "A roadmap for graphene", published in the journal Nature, proves that the one atom-thin super-conductive material has plenty of future uses outside of electronics, though it will be an integral part of the imminent future development of devices. That's because the type of graphene needed for things like touchscreens is of a lower, more easily manufactured quality. "Different applications require different grades of graphene and those which use the lowest grade will be the first to appear, probably as soon as in a few years," said Novoselov.

Susan Maushart: Living Deliberately by Unplugging - Books Make a Difference Susan Maushart shut off the electricity, removed computer and television screens from the house, stored the video games, hid the mobile devices of her three teenaged children, and reluctantly stashed her beloved iPhone…for six months. She purposefully silenced all electronics, not because her children had done anything wrong, nor because she was a bored 50-year-old single mother. No, Maushart pulled the plug on modern technology because Henry David Thoreau, among other writers, inspired her to do it. It is not the first time Maushart has been spurred into writing action because of an issue she considers personally and passionately important. “I want to start a conversation about something that is waiting in the wings to happen or hasn’t happened yet,” Maushart says. “The whole point of The Experiment,” she writes in her book, “was to send the Digital Natives on an extended trip abroad. For the first two weeks of her six-month-long experiment, Maushart turned off all electricity.

4 Essential Rules Of 21st Century Learning 4 Essential Rules Of 21st Century Learning by Jennifer Rita Nichols The term “21st century” has become an integral part of educational thinking and planning for the future. Educators and administrators are actively searching for ways to prepare students for the future, and the educational system has been evolving faster than ever before. Various studies have shown us that rote memorization is not an effective learning strategy, and that teacher-centered classrooms may not be the most efficiently structured ones for student engagement. However, despite learning about the skills that students will need to develop to become successful in the 21st century, as well as what beliefs about education may be worth hanging onto or throwing away, schools and teachers are left trying to figure out what their role needs to be in the education of their 21st century students. Nowadays, we don’t live in the same world. So then, what is the role of education in the 21st century? Society has changed. 1. 2. 3.

Is 'Breaking Bad' Influencing The Real-Life Meth Trade? NEW YORK -- News of drug cartels mass-producing souped-up methamphetamine – that's the latest word as reported by The Associated Press, and it sounds pretty scary. But haven't we heard this story before? Like on "Breaking Bad," the AMC network's addictive drama series? Take a look at the real-life drug biz. Just consider ... The product: _ Today's newly potent meth has a tell-tale bluish-white color, and it's purer than ever: as high as 88 percent. _ Walter White, in his newly assumed alter ego of Heisenberg, has flooded the market with a product renowned for its distinctive blue color. The facility: _ Factory-like "superlabs" in Mexico are turning out meth with large-scale efficiency. _ Same on "Breaking Bad," although, in keeping the story close to home, the product can proudly claim to be "Made in U.S.A." That is, Walter (played by series star Bryan Cranston) and his maladroit assistant, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), have followed the American dream. The distribution: The future:

A+C AZIZ + CUCHER, Text published in Kunstforum, Winter 1996 "The Medium is not the only Message"***The Human Genome project is being touted as the greatest scientific achievement of mankind, surpassing in its significance the discoveries of Newton, Darwin, and Einstein. If biology is made to be but an exclusive function of the genetic code, then it becomes just another field in the study of communications. The current excitement about the development of the technologies of communication seems to be coated in a blind faith in progress that is just as naive as that which our predecessors put in nuclear power and the space age. Flooded with enthusiasm, some people believe that these technologies offer unlimited possibilities for the reconfiguration of the self, predicting even the possibility of an ontological shift in the reality of being. With advances in digital technology and robotics, bioengineering is forging the link between the natural and the artificial.
