QR Codes Are the Roller-Skating Horses of Advertising - Alexis Madrigal - Technology - The Atlantic

"when I look at a QR code, I don't see the future, I see a roller-skating horse. Advertisers deploying QR codes are like people in 1900 wanting transportation to be faster, saying to themselves, "Well, we've got horses and we've got roller skates -- I think we're on to something! It seems gimmicky, but we're innovating." Meanwhile, inventors in garages were building the first janky, bug-ridden automobiles, the Model T just a few years away. "

CBC News - Arts - The far-reaching pen of Margaret Atwood

"Atwood picked up the pen to autograph her new short story collection, The Tent, for the head of her British publishing company, Nigel Newton. A few seconds later, across the exhibition room, two metal arms holding a pen reproduced Atwood's scribble onto the book: "For Nigel, with best wishes, Margaret Atwood.""

What the future looks like | Science | The Guardian

"Deep Blue didn't work out its strategy like a human player: it exploited its computational speed to explore millions of alternative series of moves and responses before deciding an optimum move. Likewise, machines may make scientific discoveries that have eluded unaided human brains - but by testing out millions of possibilities rather than via a theory or strategy."
