Design and the Elastic Mind by The Museum of Modern Art, New York Interesting book
This book is a very useful compendium, and a help to better understand what seen in the MoMA Expo. I liked the expo, and I like more the book.
Design and the Elastic Mind by The Museum of Modern Art, New York Product Description
Over the past few decades, we have experienced dramatic changes in some of the most established dimensions of human life: time, space, matter and individuality. Today our minds must be able to synthesize such transformations, whether they are working across several time zones, traveling between satellite maps and nanoscale images, gleefully drowning in information or acting fast in order to preserve a bit of down-time. Organized by Paola Antonelli, Museum of Modern Art Curator of Architecture and Design, Design and the Elastic Mind focuses on the ability of designers to grasp momentous advances in technology, science and social mores, and to convert them into useful objects and systems. Included projects range from nanodevices to vehicles, appliances to interfaces and building facades, pragmatic solutions for everyday use to provocative ideas meant to influence our future choices. Designed by award-winning book designer Irma Boom, this volume features essays exploring the promising relationship between design and science by Antonelli, design critic and historian Hugh Aldersey-Williams, visualization design expert Peter Hall and nanophysicist Ted Sargent.

Buzz’s iPhone Review Three Weeks with the iPhone: “If any app on the iPhone could be considered ‘killer,’ in the sense that its very existence justifies the device’s purchase, it’s the Maps app. I’ve spent the last week wandering around a strange and daunting city (New York), and the iPhone’s maps app has helped me enormously (I’ve even been able to give directions to tourists on the street without actually knowing where I’m going myself).” Thu, 19 Jul 2007 18:05:02 GMT

Cupertino libre Naked Mole Rat: “While Generalissimo Jobs’ pronouncement that the big cat will spring in ‘late summer’ prompted some wags to speculate an eleventh-hour arrival date of Sept. 20 or thereabouts, the Blade’s Praetorian Guard is predicting a much more aggressive release schedule: The final candidate will rear its head during the last week of June, they aver, and the shipping version should put in an appearance at July’s Macworld Expo/New York—presumably alongside Apple’s next major round of desktop hardware.” Fri, 17 May 2002 23:06:34 GMT
