Based on personal experience, emoji use, but I’d have to run the numbers on what kind of emoji use. Certainly bulleted lists with emoji as the bullets.
As a kid I lived in homes with both - and a home with a barrel stove - and as an adult with a pellet stove and I don’t remember that being a problem. Net, it was fine?
Thanks for the reference. I knew this product in the article sounded familiar:
“Literally a piece of e-waste in waiting, Lollipop Stars are suckers with an integrated battery and tiny speaker that, when placed in one's mouth, transmit sound through jaw vibrations, delivering what the brand calls ‘music you can taste.’”
That wasn’t my impression of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. (Assuming that’s the CHM you mention.) I haven’t been in maybe 10 years, though. Have things changed?
I went to both years ago, and did enjoy LCM better. The difference is that LCM was ectremely hands-on. They had all kinds of rare machines out on the floor that you could just...play with. Imagine using an original Lisa running XENIX of all things, then firing up MazeWar on an Imlac.
CHM is very well done but more of a traditional museum with limited, curated interactivity.
The US Smithsonian National Air and Space (NASM) museums are great.
For those that aren’t aware, one of the locations is on the Capitol Mall in Washington, DC and the other - the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center - is near the Dulles Airport in Dulles, VA.
The latter has the Space Shuttle Discovery, a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, a Concorde… and the Enola Gay.
The Udvar Hazy is being expanded to hold more stuff.
The downtown location has more interpretation of artifacts - sometimes at the Udvar Hazy it's hard to really appreciate what you're looking at without a docent-led tour or other context.
It also doesn't hurt that the docents include people like an SR-71 pilot.
The Udvar-Hazy Center is utterly amazing. It’s like someone said “hey, you like planes? Here’s all of them. And they’re just there, you can walk up close to them. I took my family for the first time this summer, when we heard they were going to lose the Space Shuttle, and we all loved it.
