Rough Type: Nicholas Carr’s Blog - The hierarchy of innovation

If progress is shaped by human needs, then general shifts in needs would also bring shifts in the nature of technological innovation. 

…One of the consequences is that, as we move to the top level of the innovation hierarchy, the inventions have less visible, less transformative effects. We’re no longer changing the shape of the physical world or even of society, as it manifests itself in the physical world. We’re altering internal states, transforming the invisible self. Not surprisingly, when you step back and take a broad view, it looks like stagnation - it looks like nothing is changing very much…

If the current state of progress disappoints you, don’t blame innovation. Blame yourself.

A pretty video without an idea. New Google+ advert. 

I don’t mean to sound that harsh but it is really just a product demo without the snazziness of the “gone” series or the Chrome speed tests. 

It looks like a follow on from the Google stories but without the amusing writing.

A bit old, but nice work from BBH NY for homeless people. I hope there will be more actions like this in the future.

There are thousands of vagrants in New York, many call out for help, but are often ignored. The main problem is that people don’t know why these people are out on the street. BBH New York gave 4 vagrants a smartphone where they could tweet their feelings and adventures, which changed their lives for good.

Exploring ‘The Deep Web’

The Deep or Invisible Web consists of the parts of the Internet that are not reported by normal search engines. Researches claim that standard search engines index only a small portion of the overall web, the remaining parts of which remain largely unknown.
