Care/i vi segnalo che il prossimo 23 giugno a Roma, nella sala della Fondazione Basso, a partire dalle 16, ci sarà un incontro pubblico organizzato dal CRS in collaborazione con la Fiom, nel quale si discuterà del progetto di una "Scuola per la consapevolezza critica della trasformazione digitale" Trovate qui la presentazione dell'incontro e gli obiettivi del progetto http://www.centroriformastato.it/lo-conosci-lo-critichi/ Ne parlo in questa lista, non solo perchè spero che possa interessare a molti di voi, ma perchè questo progetto si è nutrito, e ancor più lo farà in seguito, delle informazioni, delle opinioni, delle idee che su questa lista, così sapientemente "consapevole", quotidianamente circolano. Anche per questo spero che i nexiani di Roma o di passaggio, ma non solo, siano interessati a partecipare direttamente all'incontro ed ai successivi sviluppi di questo progetto. Giulio

*Before Apple, Olivetti Made the Products Everyone Wanted** * By Kristin Hohenadel June 7, 2016 The design aesthetic of the world’s most wanted laptops and smartphones is generally as slick as the products themselves. Even as the new Apple store design feels like an ostensible attempt to soften its interiors with ficus trees and warm, natural materials such as leather and wood, Apple’s overarching image has a decidedly corporate vibe. But back when typewriters ruled the day, iconic Italian manufacturer Olivetti created bold graphics, advertising, and showrooms that harnessed the selling power of great design but carried it off with a nostalgia-provoking dose of pure design flair and midcentury cool.
