La Commission européenne veut « passer à la vitesse supérieure » sur le numérique

En soi cela a l'air d'être de bonnes lignes directrices ! Ce n'est que de l'annonce pour l'instant.... donc à voir ¯\(ツ)

Mais avoir un état français qui fait des partenariats avec Microsoft à tire-larigot à côté, ça fait tâche.

👍 j'ai fait de même !

Au besoin, rajouter un peu de RAM et c'est reparti !

Clin d'oeil : un cheval fait la course avec une connexion internet... et gagne

Il désirait en effet envoyer 4.5 gigaoctets de photos à son imprimeur. Il commence donc un transfert de données vers ce dernier via internet. Mais il y a un twist : dans le même temps un cavalier part avec un DVD sur lequel les photos sont gravées, avec la même destination, située à 10 kilomètres de l’habitation du photographe.

Gaurav Singh on Twitter: "This demo is a great place to start. It’s 2005 & Nicholas Negroponte is with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. They are demoing a prototype laptop which they announce as a technology marvel. It will cost $100 (1/10th of competition) & will transform education in poor countries." / Twitter

One Ladtop per child (OLPC) is definitely not a solution:

Some had photoblogs, others played around with the Scratch tool & learnt some technical skills.
What was common for most of them?

‘Enthusiastic Teachers & care-givers who gave support & encouragement to the children to use their laptops for creation & not just for consumption.’

This brings me to my ‘Iceberg theory of EdTech.’
All the focus is on the 1/10th part which is visible: The TECH of EdTech
The part that is constantly ignored is the 9/10th part of the iceberg.
The part which is hidden from view: The ED of EdTech

An Old Programmer Loses His Job. I am an I.T. professional — How could… | by AP Carpen | Writers’ Blokke | Jul, 2021 | Medium

Every time I learned a new PC programming language, the industry changed. It made it impossible to keep up wit hthese changes.

Tips:

  • While you should keep up with the computer language changes, it is nearly impossible to do so. [...] go onto the major job sites and search for a current language and see how many jobs are out there. This would be a barometer to see what languages are current.

(or if you want to learn a language for fun, do it.)

  • The second piece of advice is to find a few people in the companies you work for and keep in touch with them even if they leave the company.
