1964-2014 - Prédictions d'Asimov

1964-2014 - Prédictions d'Asimov | Notebook or My Personal Learning Network | Scoop.it

 

Le 16 août 1964, Isaac Asimov (d’origine russe, mais naturalisé américain), l’un des plus grands auteurs de science-fiction de tous les temps, tentait de prédire le monde tel qu’il serait en 2014.

 

49 ans plus tard, ses pronostics ont été republiés par le New York Times.

 

Verdict : Asimov est tellement proche de la réalité que c’en est presque effrayant.

 

Voici quelques citations :

 

— En 2014, seuls des vaisseaux sans équipage humain auront atterri sur Mars, même si une expédition humaine sera en préparation et une colonie martienne déjà imaginée ;

 

— Les robots ne seront pas très communs ni très performants, mais ils seront bien là ;

 

— Pour de courtes distances, des « trottoirs roulants » feront leur apparition dans les centres-ville ;

 

— On se focalisera de plus en plus sur les moyens de transport qui ont le moins de contact avec le sol ;

 

— Des satellites synchronisés, en orbite, rendront possibles les appels directs partout sur la planète ;

 

— Les communications seront à la fois visuelles et auditives. Vous pourrez à la fois voir et entendre la personne à qui vous téléphonez. Les écrans serviront non seulement à communiquer, mais aussi à consulter des documents, lire des livres, regarder des photos ;

 

— En fait, en 2014, il est fort probable que lors des grandes expositions, des télévisions 3D à taille humaine diffuseront des ballets ;

 

— En 2014, il sera fort probable que la population mondiale atteigne les 6 milliards 500 millions. Celle des États-Unis sera probablement autour des 350 millions ;

 

— Des repas entiers, semi-préparés, pourront être stockés au frigo et prêts à être consommés. Les équipements de cuisine pourront préparer des « repas automatiques », chauffer l’eau et en faire du café ;

 

— Les appareils électriques n’auront plus besoin de fil électrique pour fonctionner, évidemment ;

 

— Beaucoup d’énergie aura été investie pour créer des véhicules avec des « robot-brains » (cerveaux mécanisés)…

 

Internet et autres prévisions :

Si Isaac Asimov n’a pas évoqué Internet en 1964, il l’a fait 25 ans plus tard, lors d’une interview télévisée. Et, une fois de plus, ses prédictions sont d’une incroyable précision. Même en connaissant le génie de l’auteur du Cycle des robots et du Cycle de Fondation, la précision de ces prédictions a de quoi surprendre.

 

Mais ce serait oublier qu’Isaac Asimov a quasiment inventé la robotique et les trois lois qui la régissent. Ce serait aussi oublier que les histoires de l’auteur, qui a connu un succès international, ont inspiré et influencé des scientifiques, des industriels et des artistes...

 

Pour les fans, c’est en tout cas très clair : Isaac Asimov était soit un membre de la Seconde fondation soit un historien du futur qui a trouvé un moyen de voyager dans le passé. Ça, ou alors le fait qu’il était d’une intelligence rare...

Explore old maps of US cities

Explore old maps of US cities | Notebook or My Personal Learning Network | Scoop.it

"This cool new historic mapping app from the folks at esri and the U.S. Geological Survey is worth exploring.  What it does is take 100 years of USGS maps and lets you overlay them for just about any location in the nation. That allows users to see how a city – say Harrisburg – developed between 1895 and today.  The library behind the project includes more than 178,000 maps dating from 1884 to 2006."

PIRatE Lab's curator insight, August 13, 2014 12:25 PM

For more ESRI maps that let you explore urban environmental change, the 'spyglass' feature gives these gorgeous vintage maps a modern facelift (but not available for as many places). The cities that are in this set of interactive maps are: 

 

Chicago (1868)Denver (1879) Los Angeles (1880)Washington D.C.(1851)New York City (1836)San Francisco (1859)

Curation as Digital Literacy Practice

Curation as Digital Literacy Practice | Notebook or My Personal Learning Network | Scoop.it

Ibrar Bhatt writes: "Digital curation therefore is not just about finding relevant material, although that is a significant part of it, but is also about creating a specific and unique experience by utilising the resulting materials which then become contextualised within a new space. A curator, therefore, whether she is a journalist-by-proxy such as Popova or a student completing an assignment in a classroom, not only collects and interprets, but also creates a new experience with it. In this respect, curation is a process of problem solving, re-assembling,re-creating, and stewardship of other people’s writing."
