iOS4更新有感：FOLDER功能是...一個貼心的設計，抑或，開始被馴服的起點？What does the Folder function added in OS4 mean? A thoughtful design reflecting most users' need, or, the beginning of taming?

就在兩小時前，完成愛瘋機OS 4更新--- 真沒想到七月前就提供下載。


手機購入使用初期，沒事就將功能相近軟體拉到同頁面或鄰近來「同組」，對於愛瘋畫面這種沒有界線、只靠前後撥動找到位置的設計，當初有些微詞（幸好頁面移動速度夠快）。


但是，撥動來撥動去會對每個局部有不得不熟悉的機會、有不得不思考清掃更換不常使用軟體的機會、有不得不反王道---簡單系統化的現代性思考---而行的練習機會...

這麼一想，開始覺得在操作上如此的設計也許正是它吸引人之處！


畢竟，以簡單系統化思維的大推手電腦為例，其樹狀結構的設計讓人愈來愈容易仗勢著反正電腦空間可以靠小錢不斷擴充、只要有這層層的FOLDER設計在，似乎就算累積的是垃圾信件、或不太需要的資料，只要先塞進某個FOLDER就安了（未來一定找的到）...。


結果是：大多數的資料從此就斷了聯絡、真的如同垃圾一樣了。


那麼，JOBS的讓前身原有異於常規的軟體組織方式調整回王道---OS4也給出了Folder功能...
不知道，要看成是一個貼心大眾需求的設計呢、還是說它的獨特性在擴大市場的考量下也正一點一點兒地被馴服？！！

大賣的真的是蘋果？還是，我們想在天災即至的現代性生活中買點能夠握在手中的希望 ？ Are we actually buying iPhone or iPad? Or, just want to hold/grab some possibilities, in our disastersensing modernistic life?

GAIA IS A CLOSE SYSTEM.  AT LEAST, IT IS NOW.

NO MATTER HOW "GREEN" WE PLEAD AS THE REASON...THE FASTER THE MODERNITY ACCELERATES, THE HIGHER ENTROPY STATE GAIA TENDS TO BE.

AND, IT IS IRREVERSIBLE.


No doubt about it, those "i" things have brought us with a lot of possibilities.
Not saying the business potential, but the DREAMS only (perhaps) human beings can (or dare to) dream---


Especially, when we still remember the innocence to challenge everything (although being socialized, institutionalized, materialized).
Especially, when we still wish nothing serious will occur (although knowing modernity has no capability or gut to stop its own expansion).


Those "i" things and the world of possibilities embedded within just happened on time to provide the way out for our complicated feelings, compounding with joy and fear, where we find no place to vent.












How happy when we discover so many possibilities, and how sorrowful when we honestly face each possibility !!!



IT IS IRREVERSIBLE.

NO MATTER HOW "GREEN" WE PLEAD AS THE REASON...THE FASTER THE MODERNITY ACCELERATES, THE HIGHER ENTROPY STATE GAIA TENDS TO BE.
THE POINT IS：GAIA IS A CLOSE SYSTEM.

AT LEAST, NOW IT IS.

從艋舺孔子蘋果看見 "i" Why are the movie like Monga or product like Apple so polular?

誰能找到建立或補強 " i " 認同，誰就能很快地引起流行！

可想見以後將出現更多以刻畫人物角色地方或物為題的作品。艋舺，赤壁，痞子英雄，海角七號，到阿凡達及最近的孔子，阿凡達挾帶好萊塢的光環自然有不得不風行的重要支持，那孔子？這主題可說是超級厲害的選擇，它將孔子從一般而言與另三位耶穌釋伽牟尼蘇格拉底聖哲並列的位置，一舉推到至高點，只要稍為對中華文化好奇或研究的人口一起通吃！

趨向 " i " 是要因、也是結果！
