When done right, animations make an interface feel predictable, faster, and more enjoyable to use. They help you and your product stand out. But they can also do the opposite. They can make an interface feel unpredictable, slow, and annoying. They can even make your users lose trust in your product. So how do you know when and how to animate to improve the experience? Step one is making sure your animations have a purpose. Purposeful animations Before you start animating, ask yourself: what

On the sun-baked plains of the American Midwest in 1892, a revolution was loudly sputtering to life: the tractor, an engine which signaled the end of the era of animal power and the beginning of the age of machine power. This machine was not just a piece of equipment; the tractor was a manifestation of an exponential shift in energy density, from animal metabolism to coal burning, empowered by discoveries in thermodynamics.

As we listen to a piece of music, our ears perform a calculation.

When the combined sound wave descends through the ear canal and into the spiral-shaped cochlea, hairs of different lengths resonate to the different pitches, separating the messy signal into buckets of elemental sounds.

Who Owns ‘Telepathy’?

Elon Musk’s neural implant startup Neuralink has been trying to trademark two product names: Telepathy and Telekinesis. Musk has previously claimed that his company will be able to give people “superpowers,” so the desire to take ownership over these special abilities makes sense. Unfortunately for Neuralink, patent applications for Telepathy and Telekinesis have already been filed by a different business.

The languages that would go on to dominate 16-bit computing, C and Pascal, were also available but were usually severely limited.
