Jordi Llovet. "Ordinadors? No, gràcies"

La consellera d'Ensenyament, Irene Rigau, ha aixecat una enorme polseguera a causa de la decisió d'aturar, preventivament, la implantació d'ordinadors portàtils a les aules de primària i secundària del país. Aquesta implantació va ser una iniciativa del govern d'entesa, si no directament del conseller Maragall, el qual, possiblement, va quedar enlluernat per la disposició d'abast "estatal" dictada pel ministre del ram, seguint ell mateix una idea genial —com totes, impremeditada— del president del govern, José Luis Rodríguez, el qual, encara amb més alta possibilitat, va deixar-se ensibornar pel col.lectiu de pedagogs que governen arreu del país: sens dubte la generació de pedagogs més ineficaç i indocte que ha tingut Espanya als darrers setanta anys, i que estan, o han estat, a punt d'enviar l'educació de tota la pell de brau a la ruïna. Honorable consellera, moltes felicitats! Perseveri!

Mark Twain: "Guía para viajeros inocentes"

 The innocents abroad/capítol IV

After prayers the Synagogue shortly took the semblance of a writing school. The like of that picture was never seen in a ship before. Behind the long dining tables on either side of the saloon, and scattered from one end to the other of the latter, some twenty or thirty gentlemen and ladies sat them down under the swaying lamps and for two or three hours wrote diligently in their journals.
Alas! that journals so voluminously begun should come to so lame and impotent a conclusion as most of them did! I doubt if there is a single pilgrim of all that host but can show a hundred fair pages of journal concerning the first twenty days' voyaging in the Quaker City, and I am morally certain that not ten of the party can show twenty pages of journal for the succeeding twenty thousand miles of voyaging! At certain periods it becomes the dearest ambition of a man to keep a faithful record of his performances in a book; and he dashes at this work with an enthusiasm that imposes on him the notion that keeping a journal is the veriest pastime in the world, and the pleasantest. But if he only lives twenty-one days, he will find out that only those rare natures that are made up of pluck, endurance, devotion to duty for duty's sake, and invincible determination may hope to venture upon so tremendous an enterprise as the keeping of a journal and not sustain a shameful defeat (...)

Brian Aldiss: "Super-Toys Last All Summer Long

 In Mrs. Swinton's garden, it was always summer. The lovely almond trees stood about it in perpetual leaf. Monica Swinton plucked a saffron-colored rose and showed it to David.
"Isn't it lovely?" she said.
David looked up at her and grinned without replying. Seizing the flower, he ran with it across the lawn and disappeared behind the kennel where the mowervator crouched, ready to cut or sweep or roll when the moment dictated. She stood alone on her impeccable plastic gravel path.
She had tried to love him.

When she made up her mind to follow the boy, she found him in the courtyard floating the rose in his paddling pool. He stood in the pool engrossed, still wearing his sandals.
"David, darling, do you have to be so awful? Come in at once and change your shoes and socks."
He went with her without protest into the house, his dark head bobbing at the level of her waist. At the age of three, he showed no fear of the ultrasonic dryer in the kitchen. But before his mother could reach for a pair of slippers, he wriggled away and was gone into the silence of the house.
He would probably be looking for Teddy.

 Javier Marias: "Entusiastas que matan"

Hace ya siete años, publiqué aquí un artículo titulado “Acabaré odiándola”.
Me refería a lo que más me gusta en el mundo, la música, y si preveía un odio futuro era por la obligación que hoy tenemos de escucharla a todas horas y en todas partes, querámoslo o no, y además no la que elegimos, sino la que nos imponen otros en las calles, en los trenes, en los teléfonos, en las tiendas, por doquier. En el tiempo transcurrido desde entonces no sólo ese abuso ha ido a más, sino que se ha extendido a otras cosas, prácticamente a todas, por culpa de los entusiastas de cada una de ellas.
