HUMANITAS MAXIMUS ARTICLES

You should read the fine print which follows first...

*Note to my Readers About Viewing Posts: This blog is formatted in such a manner as to cut off certain of the larger graphics that appear in the postings -- especially when those postings have been excerpted from wider-screen or higher-resolution media. Please be patient with me while I work within Google's somewhat stifling Blogger framework. If some graphics are cut off, you might just left-click on them to see if you can get an original source screen with the full graphic shown -- regrettably, this only works some of the time. In the event that any of the wording is cut off, you might change your screen magnification down from 100% to 75%. But don't worry -- the copy very seldom gets cut off. In some cases, if the article has been re-posted from another source (and you sadly can almost never tell you might try clicking on the article title, to get redirected to the original source posting, which will generally be full-sized and easy to read. No matter what...Please don't run out to the local drugstore in the rain and buy some of those overpriced non-prescription "reading glasses" that will make you look like either 1) a Senator in a subcommittee proceeding, or like 2) a substitute teacher from the early 1060's.

And now, intrepid explorers...TO INFINITY! AND BEYOND!

Mobile Apps and Texting - BRAINTENANCE



Mobile Apps and Texting - BRAINTENANCE

Dear Fellow Thinkers, and Those Who Are Currently Thinking About Thinking:

Firstly, a quick saying about life for the day:

"We sank, therefore I swam" (with apologies to Descartes)

Secondly, a Bit Of Commentary:

With mobile applications and text communications tools becoming more plentiful, more capable and more accepted by the public daily, we actually have less time and space to get our messages across than ever before. An exceedlingly long message might now consist of 140 characters (including spaces)-- a more reasonable one might be: RU? ("Are you?").

We have to learn to master the art of minimalist communications. While annoying and largely ineffective (as well as corrosive of the very foundations of civilized discourse), we can have fun with them.

Here, for example, is a dialogue between a prospective diner patron and a waitress (Flo) at breakfast time, as it might be done via texting or mobile app mobilization. Your mission is to decode it:

He: FUNEMNX?

She, Responding: SVFMNX!

Translation:

He: "Have you any ham and eggs?"

She: "Yes, we have ham and eggs!"

We are indeed entering a brave new world. RUOK? IM.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

p.s. At present, we are still required to use letters of the alphabet, but given enough time, we'll be communicating in universal symbols.
