Con la excusa del cumpleaños número 20 de Wikipedia, Laura y Santiago se ponen a explorar una de las siete maravillas del mundo digital. Si ya son fans de Wikipedia, los invitamos a celebrar su amor con este episodio. Si todavía no están asombrados por una obra tan colosal y tan noble, pongan play (que este es el momento).  Con el apoyo de:  ▸ Oyentes como tú en Patreon. ▸ Compradores de la Tienda de Cosas de Internet. Notas del episodio:  Así se ve el «artículo» de Cosas de Internet en Wikipedia hoy en día.  Página de celebración de los 20 años de Wikipedia. Las reglas para contribuir a Wikipedia se basan en cinco pilares, uno de ellos es mantener un punto de vista neutral. Y, vale decirlo, las personas detrás de Wikipedia son bastante flexibles con las reglas (porque todo el tiempo están en discusión).  Un libro clave para la conversación de este episodio fue «Here Comes Everybody», de Clay Shirky. Este video nos ayudó a entender cómo se toman decisiones en Wikipedia: «Governance structure of Wikipedia». «Excedente cognitivo» o, en inglés, «Cognitive Surplus».  Santi mencionó a Quora y Kialo como ejemplos de otras páginas que también se construyen con el «surplus cognitivo». En el 2017, el gobierno de Turquía bloqueó el acceso a Wikipedia.  Wikipedistas en Turquía celebrando en un café. En la entrada de blog «My role in Wikipedia» Larry Sanger describe con detalle cómo contribuyó a la formación de la enciclopedia. Ahí también comparte links a comunicados de prensa oficiales que lo señalan como cofundador. Encontramos el primer correo que envío Larry Sanger a la comunidad de Nupedia invitándolos a crear artículos en Wikipedia.  Aquí sale el momento en que Wikipedia pasó a ser una página con «.org». En la lección de TED-Ed sobre la enciclopedia, aparece la anécdota del árbol brasilero que Diderot consideró irrelevante. El árbol se llama «Urena lobata» (o «Aguaxima» en portugués). Acá la profesora de historia nos enseñó tantas anécdotas de la enciclopedia de Diderot.  Extras: Formulario para inscribirse al newsletter de Cosas de Internet. Agradecimientos especiales a las personas que nos enviarnos notas de voz, al inicio de este episodio escucharon las contribuciones de: Daniel Ricardo Pava & Sofi Ángela Sofía Bilbao Pazmiño & Lina Daniel Acevedo Jaramillo Elian Diaz & compañía Alison Julieth Castelblanco Pineda ♢ Si te gusta Cosas de Internet, considera apoyarnos acá.

本期我们继续讨论了 Apple Watch 和新版 MacBook，Meerkat，以及为什么 Rio 认为恐怖分子「赢了」。 每月三十元，支持李如一和 Rio 把《IT 公论》做成最好的科技播客。请访问 itgonglun.com/member。 从本周开始，除了每周一的会员通讯以外，我们会在每周五发送另一封邮件。周五邮件的内容是全新的，和《IT 公论》音频节目没有重合。虽然我们并不认为「干货」是什么了不得的东西，但这封新邮件应该算是某种意义上的干货，也不会在我们的网站上公开刊载。至于具体内容，本周五自有分晓。 上期关于 Apple Watch 和新版 MacBook 的节目紧跟着苹果三月九日发布会的后脚发出，在那之后的一周里，我们又从各处看到了各种评测和讨论。前《Macworld》主编 Jason Snell 对新 MacBook 触摸板的描述令人印象深刻：在第一次试用那种名为 Force Touch 的技术时，Snell 完全没有意识到这是新的触摸板！（说明苹果用软件控制的硬件模拟十分到位。）Force Touch 触摸板的目的是为了减少笔记本电脑上的运动部件，除了能把电脑做得更薄以外，减少运动部件本身就是功德一件——自己的触摸板已经坏掉，无法按压（只能轻触）的李如一深有体会。 很多朋友来信纠正了我们上期的错误：Apple Watch 被摘下来之后，下一次戴上就要重新配对，方可使用 Apple Pay 支付。考虑到 Apple Watch 每天晚上都要（摘下来）充电，而目前它又必须和 iPhone 配合使用，一个很自然的问题是在不配对的情况下，Apple Watch 上有哪些 / 有没有功能是可以用的？在已经推出的 iOS 8.2 里预装了名叫 Apple Watch 的软件，从中可以看到所谓「配对」实际上是一个类似扫二维码的过程。就算 Apple Pay 是唯一一个需要重新配对的功能，对于每天都需要它的用户而言，恐怕是又多了一件日课。 大家都说 Apple Watch Edition 是为中国市场而设。我想也没必要回避一件人们心照不宣的事：对于力所能及的人而言，18K 金的 Apple Watch 是绝好的送给二奶和情人的礼物。她们通常不是数码玩家，不会过于关注电子产品随时过期的问题。Apple Watch（尤其是 Edition）风头正健，虚荣心可以充分满足。此外，一万到一万七千美元的售价对于此类消费并不算超出常理的高。由此想来，这其实是一个高性价比的选择。不要忘记，Hermès 的 Plume 包包也要八千七百美元呢。 不管你是否把 Apple Watch Edition 视为奢侈品，也不管你对于奢侈品有什么样的看法，苹果在选材和做工上丝毫没有偷懒。产品设计师 Greg Koenig 写的这篇关于 Apple Watch 金属锻造工艺的文章给大家上了一堂科普课。它绝不易读，例如文中提到的「加工硬化」（Work hardening）指的是「金属材料在结晶温度以下塑性变形时强度和硬度升高，而塑性和韧性降低的现象」。但由于文章是对照苹果此次放出的几条金属加工视频写成，将视频和文章对照研读会有奇效。 本期节目最后，Rio 提出了「恐怖分子赢了」的理论。简单来说，美国政府以反恐为由扩张公权力，国家安全局（NSA）等机构大规模监控监听庶民通讯，民主之本遂被侵蚀。不过公权与民权的角力自古有之，而如今棱镜门一类的事之所以令人担忧，和技术对社会——尤其是平民社会——的迅速渗透不无关系。在今天，每个普通人每天有意或无意生产的数据总量比十年前不知多了多少。而当这些数据被默认放在云端时，何谓公开，何谓私有的问题就需要重新考虑。愤世嫉俗者会告诉你无论如何也逃不出公权力的监控，明哲保身才是硬道理。但那何尝不是一种旧世界的思考方式。大数据之大，不但在于数据总量，也在于它的渗透度，以及它和每个人的高度相关性。今天我们在网上能够找到的关于某个陌生人的信息很可能会令他尴尬，而这种信息的流散往往是在当事人无意识的情况下发生的。面对这个隐私正被重新定义的新世界，公权与民权实处在同一起跑线。我们能做的，就是尽量去除人们对科技的恐惧，保持警醒，保持头脑的机敏，主动地了解、学习技术，以及技术带来的社会效应。或许身为良民的你一辈子不需要担心 NSA，但有时我们面对的，是更加普通和貌似无害的对手。 我们最近在玩的 app Alto’s Adventure 最近我们读的一些文章 Ken Thompson: Reflections on Trusting Trust The Middle of Things: Advice for Young Writers 相关链接 苹果网站上对 Apple Watch 各场景电池续航力的说明 认知盈余 ATP 第 108 期 How the Apple Watch is Made No, You Can’t Manufacture That Like Apple Does 品质与价格（之一） 品质与价格（之二） Meerkat Xcode 沦陷？ FISA 两步认证 本期标题的出处 Alto’s Adventure 人物简介 李如一：字节社创始人。 Rio: Apple4us 程序员。

Take a look at the headlines of any major newspaper or news magazine. Check out the non-fiction bestsellers at Amazon. The net is on everyone’s minds. Or more specifically, the way the net is on our minds is on our minds. Nicholas Carr’s The Shallows paints a bleak picture of what the net is doing to our plastic brains, cheapening our relationships, and ruining our attention spans. Clay Shirky’s recent release Cognitive Surplus on the other hand celebrates the web’s power to enable quick, smart, crowdsourced action and creativity. Hundreds of other authors and thinkers have responded with their own variations and theories on what the internet is doing to us, and what we are doing on the net. With all of this thinking on the net, we thought it was time to do some thinking on the thinking on the net. And luckily we have two great thinker thinkers in house. Our very own David Weinberger has suggested jokingly that there should be a Myers-Briggs test for net fanaticism, while memetracker and ROFLCon founder Tim Hwang has grouped net thinkers into schools. Today, they explain how different thinkers think on the net, and importantly, why the heck everyone’s so interested. What kind of net thinker are you? Give us your thoughts in the comments.

Speaker: Christopher Fahey Clay Shirky coined the phrase "cognitive surplus" to describe humanity's untapped mental energy, energy being put to spectacular and beneficial use in collaborate efforts like Wikipedia. User experience designers are rapidly learning how to tap into this surplus through social and psychological insights into human behavior, inviting users to channel their intellectual energies into technologically-mediated interactions that people find emotionally rewarding and deeply compelling. But where is the line between compelling interaction and compulsive behavior? With so much enthusiasm about "gamification", game mechanics, and behavior change, and with millions of people tagging other people's content and checking in every time they move around, designers of interactive systems should be asking themselves: what kinds of compelling and powerful interactive experiences actually enrich our lives... and what experiences simply drain our time and energy while providing nothing of value in return? How can we be sure we are using these psychologically engaging new interaction design patterns to make people's lives better? We'll look at some real-world "anti-patterns" of interaction design, where human behavior is, to put it bluntly, being exploited. But we'll also look at how well-intentioned interactions might inadvertently dehumanize users by failing to address their deeper personal needs. Finally, we'll try to define some guiding principles around how to create engrossing, even addictive products and experiences that nonetheless empower and enrich the people who use them.

Author, teacher and activist, Clay Shirky, discusses the visionary insights of Marshall McLuhan as well as his own ideas about the effects of new media and social networking on our society. Shirky's latest book Cognitive Surplus explores how new technology is unleashing a wave of creative production that he believes is transforming the world.

Welcome to episode #211 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #33 of Media Hacks. Instead of the usual phone conversation, Hugh McGuire, Julien Smith and I met up for an early morning breakfast at the infamous Bagels Etc... in beautiful Montreal. The conversation floated between mass media versus Social Media to looks at everything from how Old Spice is leveraging the convergence of the two, to why both Clay Shirky and Nicholas Carr have new business books that are well-worth reading (even though they both don't agree with one another). We also attempt to tackle the conversation over content and its value (re: pricing model) in our current society, and many other hacking media topics. As with most episodes of Media Hacks, some of the language is not safe for work (you have been warned). Enjoy the conversation... Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast - Episode #211 - Host: Mitch Joel. Running time: 54:39.

We're all in festival fever... make that the world-famous Just For Laughs comedy festival. The advertising landscape have shifted because of Web culture. What is famous? Old Spice, Social Media and the convergence of all media. Old Spice Voicemail Generator. The new advertising takes stories in different directions. Welcome to transmedia. Are we a part of pop culture or nerd culture... or is pop culture now nerd culture? Please excuse us for the eating and chewing sounds... it is what it is. We should all follow a backpack. It's not about mass media... it's about communities of interest. The impact of Clay Shirky's new book, Cognitive Surplus. Some things cross into the mainstream but most stuff does not. Packaging rather than content. The easier to digest the more the mass populous hops on it. The types of people who use Twitter and how it plays out. The brilliance of Twitter lies in its constraints. Nicholas Carr and his new book, The Shallows, and Clay Shirky's Cognitive Surplus. We're starting to see/hear/read the splinters in Internet culture and how it plays out with Social Media. Is Google Making Us Stupid? - The Atlantic. Who else goes to the bathroom to check their iPhones all of the time? Welcome to the age of rapid social anxiety growth. Good calories - Bad calories (while Julien is eating a mish mash). Moving to the asynchronous life of book reading - fully digital. You can do this with the iBook, Kindle and/or Kobo app for your mobile. Also make sure to grab both Readability and InstaPaper. The way we write and read changes. What the Dickens? We need to divide the culture from the business model. Books do not need to so big anymore. The constraint is there to support the business not the content. This is not essential to the culture. Can we homogenize the content? What media gives more depth - a Blog or a business book? What is the best way to do something vs. the best way to make money (or whatever else you're trying to accomplish). We need to break free or experiment more with content. A Blog is more powerful and deep way to explore content than a book is - this will scare publishers. What mass media can learn from The Grateful Dead. Does the mass amount of content devalue the content? Put a pay-wall up for everything: what would you pay for monthly access to Blogs? You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier. Finland makes broadband Internet access a human right. The supply and demand of information and where the money goes. We all do have the resources to create media and content. There are no restrictions. David Usher - 'Je Repars' (in French with Marie Mai). Please join the conversation by sending in questions, feedback and ways to improve Six Pixels Of Separation.
