O recente artigo de Chris Hardwick na Wired, Diary of a Self-Help Dropout: Flirting With the 4-Hour Workweek fez-me repescar um texto que tinha ideia de escrever para aqui, mas que fui deixando de lado, sobre o mundo recheado de conteúdos que se amontoam e nos roubam tempo para viver.
"Some days I'm just overwhelmed by everything on my to-do list" Chris Hardwick
UMinho fica no lugar 300 da maior listagem de rankings alguma vez realizada a nível mundial com 16,000 instituições de ensino superior. O estudo foi realizado pela Webometrics. Antes da UM só a UP que ficou em 271.
O TOP5 do ranking é constituído pelos suspeitos do costume:Linger in Shadows is not a game, but rather an experiment into the realm of interactive digital art. Created by a collective of talented artists based in Poland known as Plastic, Linger in Shadows delivers cutting-edge graphics technology and is the first demoscene project to ever hit a home console. Bringing this underground digital art culture exclusively to the PlayStation®Network, it delivers a truly unique journey that will challenge and entertain you, and change the way you think about games and art forever.
Computers should not be black boxes but rather understood as engines for creating powerful and persuasive models of the world around us. The world around us (and inside us) is something we in the humanities have been interested in for a very long time. I believe that, increasingly, an appreciation of how complex ideas can be imagined and expressed as a set of formal procedures — rules, models, algorithms — in the virtual space of a computer will be an essential element of a humanities education. Our students will need to become more at ease reading (and writing) back and forth across the boundaries between natural and artificial languages. Such an education is essential if we are to cultivate critically informed citizens — not just because computers offer new worlds to explore, but because they offer endless vistas in which to see our own world reflected.por Matthew Kirschenbaum que é Professor Associado de Inglês do Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities na University of Maryland.
