Zo wijs:

Geweldig feature interview van horlogemagazine Hodinkee met Apple-designer Joni Ive. Niet enkel het gesprek, maar ook de pagina zelf: hoe de interviewer z’n gedachten tussen antwoorden erbij zet; hoe ze een klok tonen van hoe lang je het artikel aan het lezen bent en wat Apple in diezelfde tijd verkocht; het mooie (achterstevoren afspelende – let op de auto onderaan) droneshot van Apple Park; de fotografie en letterzetting.

Kwaliteit.

The opportunity is phenomenal. Particularly when [you] don’t understand just where we are today in terms of technology and capability, but where we are headed.

Our smartphones have given us so much. The weather, news, calendars, email, photos and more — all in one place. But what are we sacrificing for this convenience?

The New York Times:

This month, some of those Berkeley researchers published a research paper that went further, saying they could embed commands directly into recordings of music or spoken text. So while a human listener hears someone talking or an orchestra playing, Amazon’s Echo speaker might hear an instruction to add something to your shopping list.

Dat kan niet de bedoeling zijn, precies.

Kevin Roose van The New York Times zat samen met Ev Williams, de man achter Blogger, Twitter en Medium:

But if Mr. Williams isn’t ready to denounce social media, he is at least muting its effects in his own life. He still uses Twitter, but he has turned off most mobile notifications, and he tries to leave his phone behind when he’s with his friends or his kids. He is reading less daily news these days, he said, and more books and long-form articles.

“That’s been healthy for me,” he said. “I feel the effects of that.”

Listening to an architect of the fast-twitch internet extol the benefits of books and magazines is a little odd, like watching Chef Boyardee open a farm-to-table restaurant. But Mr. Williams is not alone among tech leaders in his quest for a slower and more balanced media diet.
