SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY A century ago communication across any distance was dependent upon the telegraph or letters. No jets crossed the ocean, no television pictures enabled us instantly to see events in any part of the world, there were no worldwide telephone networks and no computers. It is just a short lifetime since humanity first travelled into space and discovered how fragile our planet looks. FROM FIREWORKS TO THE MOON At first glance you might think that there couldn't possibly be anything common between a 13 th century festival in China and the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. However, there is a link and that is that they both relied on the use of rockets. The Chinese first developed rockets by filling bamboo tubes with an explosive made from saltpetre, charcoal, and sulphur

Steve Krug-Dont Make Me Think 2014

years. 2000  2006 (Writing is really hard for me, and I’m always happy to have a reason not to do it. Give me a good old root canal over writing any day.) So why now, finally, a new edition? Two reasons. #1. Let’s face it: It’s old There’s no doubt about it at this point: It feels dated. After all, it’s thirteen years old, which is like a hundred years in Internet time. (See? Nobody even says things like “in Internet time” anymore.) Most of theWebpages I used for examples, like Senator OrrinHatch’scampaign site for the 2000 election, look really old- fashionednow. Sites these days tend to look a lot more sophisticated, as you might expect. www.orrinhatch.com1999  www.orrinhatch.com2012 RecentlyI’vebeenstartingtoworrythatthebookwouldfinallyreachapoint where it feltsodated that it would stop being effective

Silicon Valley

investment decisions. Most are only allowed to invest in deals where some reputable private VC firm is willing to act as lead investor. Not Buildings If you go to see Silicon Valley, what you'll see are buildings. But it's the people that make it Silicon Valley, not the buildings. I read occasionally about attempts to set up "technology parks" in other places, as if the active ingredient of Silicon Valley were the office space. An article about Sophia Antipolis bragged that companies there included Cisco, Compaq, IBM, NCR, and Nortel. Don't the French realize these aren't startups? Building office buildings for technology companies won't get you a silicon valley, because the key stage in the life of a startup happens before they want that kind of space.
