&lt;li&gt;From Apps to Accessories, the Tools Make the Experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;When the first iPad launched in 2010, critics were quick to lampoon the device for being geared too heavily toward content consumption. The criticisms weren’t entirely without merit, especially considering that the first-generation iPad didn’t even have a camera, and external media slots are still nowhere to be found.&lt;/p&gt;
  
  &lt;p&gt;Over time, the iPad has evolved into something that’s much more creation-friendly. It still doesn’t compare to a desktop or laptop computer for many things, but it’s great for quite a few others. Writing is one of them […]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sabíeu qui va encunyar el terme &amp;#8220;processament de textos&amp;#8221; o &lt;em&gt;&amp;#8220;word processing&amp;#8221;&lt;/em&gt;? Doncs se suposa que va ser un tal &lt;a href="http://www.steinhilper.de/"&gt;Ulrich Steinhilper&lt;/a&gt; cap a 1960, quan era comercial de màquines d&amp;#8217;escriure a la delegació alemanya d&amp;#8217;IBM. Per a ell, el processament de textos havia de ser un complement -necessari- del &amp;#8220;processament de dades&amp;#8221; -és a dir, dels fulls de càlcul- en els plans d&amp;#8217;automatització d&amp;#8217;oficines de l&amp;#8217;època. (La informàtica, com s&amp;#8217;ha explicat tantes vegades, es va desenvolupar dins de les grans corporacions i per a les grans corporacions, abans que els hippies de Califòrnia inventessin l&amp;#8217;ordinador &lt;em&gt;personal&lt;/em&gt;.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;L&amp;#8217;esquema de dalt és seu, del senyor Steinhilper. Diuen que el va enviar al programa de suggeriments interns d&amp;#8217;IBM i va rebre a canvi, com a reconeixement, vint-i-cinc marcs alemanys més una nota on se li deia que la idea era &amp;#8220;massa complicada d&amp;#8217;explicar&amp;#8221;. Va passar el temps, però, i més endavant&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Aquesta història, entre altres fonts diverses, apareix en l&amp;#8217;article &lt;a href="http://www.tomandmaria.com/Tom/Writing/Annals2006WP.pdf"&gt;&amp;#8220;Remembering the Office of the Future: Word Processing and Office Automation before the Personal Computer&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; (IEEE Annals of the History of Computing 28:4, october-december 2006). Gràcies a Xavier Belanche (&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/#!/xbelanch"&gt;@xbelanch&lt;/a&gt;) per la referència. Preparar un tema per a exposar-lo en públic (vg. &lt;a href="http://www.little-memes.info/2/ca/"&gt;Smart tools for smart writers&lt;/a&gt;, Barcelona, 23 de maig) sempre és una bona ocasió per a aprofundir-hi una mica més. I si el prepares en col·laboració amb un col·lega del nivell del Xavier, aleshores s&amp;#8217;incrementen exponencialment les probabilitats de descobrir nous aspectes de la qüestió i d&amp;#8217;aprendre coses noves.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.carlesbellver.com/post/23106621147</link><guid>http://blog.carlesbellver.com/post/23106621147</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 17:50:56 +0200</pubDate><dc:creator>carlesbellver</dc:creator></item><item><title>Facebook Shares More About How It Uses Your Data - NYTimes.com</title><description>&lt;a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/11/facebook-shares-more-about-how-it-uses-your-data/"&gt;Facebook Shares More About How It Uses Your Data - NYTimes.com&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Did you know that almost 90% of the world’s population lives in the northern hemisphere? And that half of all Earthlings [1] reside north of 27°N? Or that the average human lives at 24 degrees from the equator - either to its north or south? Bill Rankin did.

&lt;p&gt;Del blog de tecnologia del New York Times. Una càmera -un prototip- que imprimeix una descripció verbal de la imatge fotografiada. Però no estem parlant exactament d’intel·ligència artificial, ans al contrari: la màquina envia la foto al &lt;a href="http://www.mturk.com"&gt;Mechanical Turk&lt;/a&gt;, un servei gestionat per Amazon en el qual persones humanes cobren petites retribucions per fer feines que els ordinadors -encara- no saben fer. Per exemple, descriure una imatge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;[…] “After the shutter button is pressed, the photo is sent to Mechanical Turk for processing and the camera waits for the results,” Mr. Richardson writes. “Results are returned typically within 6 minutes and sometimes as fast as 3 minutes. The thermal printer outputs the resulting text in the style of a Polaroid print” […]&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;El text pla, net, és fàcil d’editar, fàcil de compartir, fàcil de mantenir. Sota la dictadura dels editors visuals, un corrent d’aire fresc ha envaït les pantalles d’uns quants escriptors i desenvolupadors: noves eines d’escriptura, àgils, belles, agnòstiques, que permeten una experiència d’escriptura lliure de distraccions tècniques o visuals.&lt;/p&gt;
  
  &lt;p&gt;Aquest nou &lt;em&gt;little-meme&lt;/em&gt; està dedicat a aquest moviment zen de l’escriptura en un moment en què el paper ha deixat de ser l’únic suport de lectura. Un moment en el qual els múltiples dispositius i pantalles permeten una manera heterogènia d’accedir a la lectura de textos […]&lt;/p&gt;
