About social or political revenge, about an attempt to return to the past.

Origin:

An expression from the "Manifesto of the Communist Party" by Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820-1895): "The middle classes: the small industrialist, the small trader, the craftsman and the peasant - they are all fighting the bourgeoisie in order to save their existence from death as the middle classes. They are therefore not revolutionary, but conservative. Even more, they are reactionary: they seek to turn back the wheel of history."

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Intel TV Service 14.02.2013

The world's largest microchip maker, Intel, is working on a networked TV broadcasting service that the company plans to launch later this year, according to the Financial Times. Intel intends to enter a new market for itself, but in this endeavor the company is following Apple's successful strategy of offering customers complete sets of devices, software and services.

"For the first time, we will offer consumers a new device under a new brand," said Eric Haggers, head of Intel's media division. "We are working with industry representatives to find out how we can offer users TV broadcasts over the Internet."

The new device, according to Haggers, will have a camera that can detect the presence of people in the room and will help with personalization of software settings and advertising.

As a result of the launch of the service, Intel will become a direct competitor to US cable and satellite TV providers, but the company will not provide users with the ability to independently select channels, which is one of the main advantages of network television. Channel packages will be available to consumers, just like other broadcast network operators.
