South African Schools Install Gadget Prisons

Desperate times call for desperate measures, so schools have started installing little gadget prisons in order to make sure phones stay out of the hands of wild and crazy teenagers.

Sizemodo: Meizu M8 vs. Apple iPhone

Speaking of the rather affordable Meizu M8, here’s how that delightful “iPhone clone” stacks up to the real deal. Surprisingly enough, it’s actually smaller than the iPhone—no doubt because it exchanges a few key iPhone features for ones even Apple doesn’t have. https://gizmodo.com/meizu-m8-pricing-revealed-most-affordable-iphone-clone-241069 Nevertheless, Apple’s 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.45 inches vs. Meizu’s 4.1 x…

Ristos (1979)

As promised, here is page 12 of the amazing 1979 book Future Cities: Homes and Living into the 21st Century.
