Flash Preloaders criativos
"...to count on user’s patience, Flash-designers need to inform site visitors how much patience is actually required. If it isn’t done, the latter have no anchor point to estimate how much more time is needed and consequently close the browser window thinking that the site simply doesn’t work properly.
Flash-preloaders are supposed to avoid exactly this. Most designers inform visitors about the state of the loading process by filling site areas, growing bars, incrementing counters or simple percentage values presented on the screen. However, preloaders don’t need to be boring. Often designers integrate unusual solutions to keep user’s focus on the site while it is loading. Thus Flash preloaders often fit to the overall design and work as a teaser for the content of the site."

"Secular Sabbath"
Em um artigo para o New York Times, Mark Bittman fala sobre sua experiência em reservar um dia da semana longe da tecnologia (celulares, computadores, televisão etc.).Como ele declara:
"I would no more make a new-agey call to find inner peace than I would encourage a return to the mimeograph. But I do believe that there has to be a way to regularly impose some thoughtfulness, or at least calm, into modern life — or at least my version. Once I moved beyond the fear of being unavailable and what it might cost me, I experienced what, if I wasn’t such a skeptic, I would call a lightness of being. I felt connected to myself rather than my computer. I had time to think, and distance from normal demands. I got to stop. "
