아날로그의 반격 / The Revenge of Analog

The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter by David Sax

3/14/2019 ~ 5/26/2019

 

디지털 시대에 아날로그적인 것들인 이제 사치제처럼 생각되고, 골동품 같은 느낌을 주기도 한다. 하지만, 디지털 - 인터넷 - 인공지능 ... 기계화된 여러가지 수단들이 점점 더 발전하지만, 그런 기술의 이면에는 항상 사람들이 있다. 이런 사람들은 항상 복합적인 면을 가진다. 이진화된 정보들로는 설명할 수 없이 모호한 경계가 항상 생겨나고, 확대하면 반복되는 프랙탈 같은 구조가 있다. 이런 내용을 여러 영역에서 살펴본 책이다. 많은 부분이 형태는 아날로그지만 방법은 디지털을 차용하고 있고, 본질은 사람들의 상태가 연속적이고 이런 사람들에 의해서 사회가 움직여가고 있음이다.

 

pp. 25 "People think limitations are a bad thing. But it moves the process forward, in a good way. You can easily get lost in the process. It's easier to stick to the plan when you have limitations."

 

pp. 35 "Creativity is a word that's now completely sold, but the concept behind it is strong and real. People want to be creative and feel creative even if they are not. Creatives have the ability to create an emotional trigger, and the analog world is the one able to create this emotional attraction and experience."

pp. 115 They liked the serendipity of finding, and reading, stories they never would click on with the digital version, and the ritual involved with reading certain sections at certain parts of their day. Many younger print subscribers talked about their desire to disconnect from digital devices but not the world and its information, and several mentioned keeping the paper open at the dinner table so as to spark a conversation with their kids, who were often distracted by phones and tablets.

 

pp. 130 we are paralyzed and even terrorized by endless options, which is exactly what Amazon gives us. Choosing from every book ever published seems like a dream, until you're forced to sift through hundreds of thousands of titles on your Kindle, and all the reviews attached to them, hoping to find something good. - The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz :  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice

 

pp. 144 People will pay for books they see. That is because books are an aspirational consumer product, especially today, when so much reading and time are spent online. "If you spend twenty-six dollars on a book, you're aspiring to stimulate your intellect, to get involved with literature. You're got a lifestyle that affords intellectual curiosity. Only the highest-level consumer is buying and reading books today.

pp. 159 The Glass Cage: How Our Computers Are Changing Us by Nicholas Carr

Nicholas Carr defines deskilling: As more skills are built into the machine, it assumes more control over the work, and the worker's opportunity to engage in and develop deeper talents, such as those involved in interpretation and judgment, dwindles. When automation reaches its highest level, when it takes command of the job, the worker, skill wise, has nowhere to go but down.

pp. 203 Teaching and learning is a relationship between teachers and students. Relationships are analog. For those who push on technology, they interpret teaching and learning not as a relationship, but as a delivery for information. Education is not seen in relational term at all. It is seen as a way of getting more access to information and having communication in ways not available before, and that isn't relational. ... It became obvious to me that the whole basis of learning between the young and adults is anchored in the relationship between those people. A teacher has a relationship with a group of students. It is those independent relationships that is the basis of learning. Period." - Larry Cuban

pp. 237 You go a bit out of our comfort zone, endure a little hardship, people push you and help you to succeed, and you end up with friendships, confidence, and an inner fortitude that ends in a sense of belonging to a greater, interdependent community. This is one of the most basic aspects of the human condition." - Birenbaum
