A História das Coisas - Documentário sobre produção, consumo e descarte

A História das Coisas é um documentário de vinte minutos que fala da extração e produção até o descarte dos produtos que usamos em nossa vida e o impacto que essas coisas causam ao meio ambiente, às comunidades e às pessoas que vivem nelas.

The programmer

The programmer, like the poet,works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures.
Yet the program construct, unlike the poet's words, is real in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separate from the construct itself. It prints results, draws pictures, produces sounds, moves arms. The magic of myth and legend has in our time. One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a display screen comes to life, showing things that never were nor could be.
Programming then is fun because it gratifies creative longings built deep within us and delights sensibilities we have in common with all men.
