It’s that time of year, when various media outlets review the year’s highlights. The best example I’ve seen so far is the TechnologyGuardian supplement, which features in the final print edition of the year, also available here.
It includes:
- The new 100 most useful sites, broken down by sector. Here are the top mainstream news sites by way of example:
- A review of the year
- A great article by Charles Arthur titled: ‘Why is it so much easier to use computers in films?’ Relating to usability expert Jakob Nielsen’s analysis of the top 10 usability “errors” in films.
My favourite quote from the article looks at Hollywood’s finest technology moment: ‘The most marvellous and jawdropping plot device, of course, remains that from Independence Day, when Jeff Goldblum uploads a virus from a Mac to the aliens’ starship, crashing it (and the aliens to the ground).’
Hooray for Hollywood…
