Не кибербез, а цифро-ТБ

Пару дней назад Хабр прислал мне письмо про «Технотекст-8». Я про это письмо успешно забыл и вспомнил только сегодня. И внезапно я понял, что это отличный шанс поучаствовать одновременно и в «Технотекст-8» и в «Сезон Heavy Digital» (который я таки пропустил). Дело в том, что в «Сезон Heavy Digital» не раскрыта тема, которую я считаю актуальной и которая предельно ясна из названия - «Не кибербез, а цифро-ТБ». Казалось бы, в... Read more

Молодость всё прощает?

Когда ты молод, кажется, что горы по колено и так будет всегда. Сегодня к молодёжи относят людей до 35 лет, и именно в этом возрасте чаще всего живут так, будто ресурс организма бесконечный. Что там насчёт трёх работ (сидячих!), энергетиков, рваного графика и бесконечных «штош, на выходных отосплюсь». Современное общество и необходимость задают темп. Но между тем есть стойкое ощущение: организм всё выдержит и «молодость простит»…Но давайте честно: молодость не... Read more
