The Power to Do More


Every time I see this, I wonder if it shouldn’t be the exact opposite.

Nobody sells the dishwasher promising people that now, finally, they can do more dishes.

The washing machine rumbling in my basement means me doing less laundry on a washboard by the river.

The Nest thermostat promises I won’t ever have to touch a thermostat again.

Roomba takes doing out of vacuuming.

Has there been an ad for the iPhone where people have a phone conversation?  Since I got mine in 2007, my phone bill has been averaging about three voice minutes per day, for which I am forever grateful. Tweeting, Facebooking and messaging have replaced the hard stuff.

I am struggling to think of a single thing I would want to do more of on a computer.

I would like to be sending fewer emails. I also would like having to delete fewer of them. I would like for a computer to notice if I keep deleting something without reading.

I like taking pictures, but I would like to spend less time organizing and retouching them.

I don’t want to do more Excel formulas. I want to type in “how likely are people who peel bananas from the handle end to have red hair and two kids”, and get an answer without having to do more pivots, smart filters, regressions, or whatever.

First I thought I would definitely like to play computer games more. Then I thought of all the games I quit in mid-level because of how inflexibly, frustratingly and randomly difficult for my inferior thumb reflexes they would eventually become.  It would be nice if games could sense my frustration and lower their guard a bit and let me through. It would be nice if a game would just let me play it my way instead of insisting that I do what feels a lot like work.

Hey, computer!  It’s your memory that doubles every two years while mine probably degrades at about the same rate. So I think you should be doing more.

What I would like for myself is the power to do less.

Google Street View libera imagens históricas de Nova York

Google está publicando novas imagens de Nova York no Street View, que transmitem o espírito de força da cidade e seus habitantes: o Memorial de 11 de Setembro, o Central Park e os bairros atingidos pelo Furacão Sandy.

Como vemos com o Google Maps, simples imagens em um mapa permitem que pessoas do mundo todo explorem e descubram novos lugares ao redor do mundo. Tais imagens também podem servir como um importante registro dos lugares que já conhecemos – o retrato de como eram nossas comunidades, como elas são hoje e como mudam ao longo do tempo.

Para criar um espaço onde a comunidade de Nova York pudesse compartilhar memórias do Furacão Sandy – antes, durante e depois – o Google, em uma parceria com Historypin, criou o Hurricane Sandy: Record, Remember, Rebuild. Um álbum onde o usuário pode contribuir com arquivos de fotos e vídeos, atuais ou antigos, carregados de significados. As imagens servem para contribuir com a corrente de força e de ajuda ao próximo, sentimentos que percorrem as áreas devastadas.

Os registros oferecem a oportunidade de lembrar, refletir e olhar para um futuro a ser construído em colaboração.

Já o Memorial de 11 de Setembro, construído no local do World Trade Center como um tributo àqueles que perderam suas vidas nos ataques, ganha imagens panorâmicas onde é possível visualizar os nomes das vítimas gravados no concreto.

Além das homenagens e reconstruções de uma nova cidade, o Google também traz para perto dos usuários o local mais amado de Nova York, o Central Park.

Em parceria com o Central Park Conservancy, foram coletadas imagens em 360 graus de todas as trilhas, caminhos e praças, tornando públicas e acessíveis as vistas tanto de áreas famosas quanto daquelas escondidas, que apenas os tradicionais nova-iorquinos percorrem.

Este esforço do Google Street View revela como uma cidade muda ao longo do tempo. E que, apesar dos desafios, os registros, os compartilhamentos e as colaborações servem de inspiração para cidades do mundo todo.
