Apple tablet and demos

Hello guys. i've had a lot of time on my hands since i've been sick all day. i was looking up interaction design on youtube and its now filled with rumours and demos about the upcoming Apple iSlate tablet. here are a couple of examples of what it could possibly do and visions how its going to change the way we read news on the go.

the rreveal is speculated to be on tuesday 26th january. ie tomorrow! maybe its worth watching the party online somehow. apple stocks are up high too.

Stats

This PEW is an American research institute of some kind, personally I got in touch with it via Stefana Broadbent's tedtalk How the Internet enables intimacy

Is Google killing general knowledge?

Interesting debate (if a little UK-centric) about the impact of the web on General knowledge. It questions our reliance on the Internet as it becomes easier to find out answers - do we need to store all of them in our memories any more? it also talks about how education is changing (in Britain).

If your group has been talking about issues surrounding Wikipedia, the sharing of knowledge through the web or perhaps the Internet in education then this article may be of interest to you.

Hi all,

found today and yesterday some interesting links on the social media. Some of them might be basic stuff for you, but still possibly handy:

I totally recommend subscribing to the Logic+Emotion blog by this Dave Armano guy, he seems to be kind of a guru:

And finally, a lot of case examples:
