How badly do you want an iPad?
The iPad is something I’m more curious about than lustful for. I want to see how it works, how it feels to use and what difference it’ll make to the way I do things.
I’ll be interested to see how it does at conferences, for example. Whether the format of a tablet is a useful thing to have due to weight and room.
Also, I want to see how media is rendered and if it really does change anything about the way I interact with content.
So, not hugely badly, but I’ll be happy to try it out. I imagine it might grow on me though.
Digital Economy Bill
A couple weeks ago, I wrote to my MP to raise concern for the so-called “washup” of last-minute legislation being used to push through the now highly-controversial “Digital Economy Bill.” My reasons to write are several, and I will devote some...Emotions, intuition, consciousness. Which is the better guide?
Guide to what?
Emotion is for interactions with people and yourself. I feel a certain way, and I have to question why and to what extent. I feel a reaction to or perceive the emotions of another, and I modify my behaviour.
Intuition, I don’t understand completely. I see it almost as an inclination, a set of skills or simply things one has practiced more. I’m intuitively perceptive to rhythm (That’s how I see it, anyway), so I suppose this would be a good guide to specific things, like playing music or creativity. An artist subconsciously guides their medium, intuitively placing and removing and creating and forming. Thinking too hard breaks the instinct.
Consciousness is being aware. Without this, all other perception simply doesn’t exist. It’s like light: no matter how healthy your eyes may be, or how quick your reflexes or tuned your appreciations and intuitions, you cannot see without it. I suppose all other senses feed into this, and it’s up to our minds to sort it, to ponder it, to make decisions.
