Coding literacy will be critically important for those who want to develop future careers, practically everything will depend on it. While today the “language” of the corporate world is a Powerpoint presentation- at best a short-hand version of English and an example of pontification in action, future corporate workers will have to demonstrate what they mean with a tangible idea, rather than a deck.

Ao migrarmos para um ambiente onde "criatividade" é tão ou mais importante do que outras variáveis clássicas de negócio (e.g. custo), a proposição de novas ideias devem ser embasadas desde t=0 em viabilidade.

O paradigma é: mesmo que você não saiba onde vai terminar (nós somos horríveis em prever o futuro), você tem que saber POR ONDE e COMO começar.

Prototipar is the new powerpoint.

Talk is cheap, action speaks volumes.

Jeez, não poderia imaginar algo tão simples e fuderoso como isso.

Sabe aquele botão Z que tinha no Nintendo 64? A Microsoft fez uma bizarricie dessa pro protótipo de Tablet deles. Por enquanto os pesquisadores ainda enfrentam dificuldades com a curva de aprendizado, os resultados não foram muito legais ainda:

O primeiro app para esse Tablet vai ser o Sanfona Hero!

About:

The RearType key layout takes the two halves of the QWERTY alphabet keys and rotates them so that the keys remain in the same relative positions with respect to the fingers despite them being on the rear surface of a device. This is equivalent to 90-degree rotations in two axes. The thumbs remain on the frontsurface for grip, and other keys are placed within reach of the thumbs.

RearType avoids the need for on-screen touch-based keyboards and their inherent space usage and occlusion problems. It also supports 10-finger touch-typing input versus the single-finger "hunt and peck" of touchscreen or thumb-based small-key keyboards (e.g. on Blackberrys).

About:

3GATTI Architecture Studio based in Rome and Shanghai won a competition to design the museum, which will be built in Nanjing and modeled like a broad, angular origami sculpture. An external ramp will allow motorists to drive around the museum, surveying the interior exhibits as they wrap around the structure headed for the parking lot on top. Once they're parked, an interior ramp will take them back through the exhibit spaces on foot.

The motorists climbing the exterior ramp themselves become exhibits for the pedestrians inside, parading present-day car culture past the windows even as patrons take in the historical exhibits within.
