    I just thought this was an interesting example of how companies are beginning to digitize vs. produce things in print. They follow the consumers, and more and more are going online.

babbage

shared by Katherine Chipman on 14 Oct 10 - No Cached
  • Babbage embarked on an ambitious venture to design and build mechanical calculating engines to eliminate the risk of human error in the production of printed tables. The 'unerring certainty of machinery' would solve the problem of human fallibility. His work on the engines led him from mechanized arithmetic to the entirely new realm of automatic computation. Tabular errors provided a practical stimulus. But this was not his only motive. He also saw his engines as a new technology of mathematics.
  • It was not only the grindingly tedious labor of verifying a sea of figures that exasperated Babbage, but their daunting unreliability. Engineering, astronomy, construction, finance, banking and insurance depended on printed tables for calculation. Ships navigating by the stars relied on printed tables to find their position at sea. The stakes were high. Capital and life were thought to be at risk.

  • may I ask that you join the conversation by participating on the Internet, particularly the New Media, to share the gospel and to explain in simple, clear terms the message of the Restoration
  • we have a major responsibility as Latter-day Saints to define ourselves, instead of letting others define us
  • Every disciple of Christ will be most effective, and do the most good by adopting a demeanor worthy of a follower of the Savior of the world.
  • This is your world, the world of the future, with inventions undreamed of that will come in your lifetime as they have in mine. How will you use these marvelous inventions? More to the point, how will you use them to further the work of the Lord?
  • The printing press and other media have allowed us to take the Lord’s message to almost every corner of the earth.
  • Make sure that the choices you make in the use of new media are choices that expand your mind, increase your opportunities, and feed your soul.

    Here is another political blog post arguing against keynesian economics. The author focuses mostly on the devaluation of the dollar due to over-printing of currency.

      Notice the avaliability of this source. Doesn't flow with open science, or the open knowledge descirbed therein.

    This is an article from the Encyclopedia of Diderot & d'Alembert. I clicked on it interested in how architecture was seen and got a quick history lesson!

    New.FamilySearch.org helps members of the church around the world organize and find information about their ancestors and ensure that their temple work is done. This is an example of what Elder Ballard said. He said, "The Lord over the centuries has had a hand in inspiring people to invent tools that facilitate the spreading of the gospel. The Church has adopted and embraced those tools, including print, broadcast media, and now the Internet."
