Se ha puesto en marcha el buscador Wolfram Alpha. Wolfram Alpha no nace con la intención de ser un buscador más sino de llegar a ser un buscador inteligente. ¿Su objetivo? ofrecer respuestas exactas con un lenguaje natural a cualquier pregunta para evitar así mostrar una larga lista de opciones (como pasa en la mayoría de los buscadores), muchas de las cuales suelen ser inservibles. En la página web de <a href="http://www.wolframalpha.com/" title="http://www.wolframalpha.com/" id="link_2">Wolfram Alpha</a> se explica que el objetivo es, a largo plazo, que todos los conocimientos sean computables y accesibles para todos. Proporcionar una fuente de la cual emanen las respuestas definitivas a las preguntas. <img src="http://lacomunidad.elpais.com/blogfiles/drauta/wolfram.jpg" id="img_0" class="imgcen" width="431" height="188"> Geografía, historia, viajes, música, tecnología... todo se puede buscar y encontrar una respuesta precisa. Responde a todas las preguntas que tengan una respuesta objetiva. Eso sí, en inglés. Este proyecto se enmarca dentro de lo que será la web 3.0. Por ahora, está en fase embrionaria y no encuentra respuesta en algunas búsquedas pero irá mejorando. Mientras tanto, podemos probar cómo funciona y ver sus cualidades. <a href="http://www.drauta.com/" title="http://www.drauta.com" id="link_1">Drauta</a> <div style="text-align: left;" id="result_box" dir="ltr"> </div> 0 2009-05-18T09:42:53Z 2009-05-18T09:20:00Z 324071 la-inteligencia-wolfram-alpha 2009-05-18T09:42:52Z 1 1 2009-05-18T10:07:37Z 0.0.0.0 24560 15580 <div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FZwgqRkg2YI/Scjf3jZ4g8I/AAAAAAAAA1s/OpI-RsSW750/s1600-h/Jules_Verne.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316745505600472002" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 287px; cursor: pointer; height: 400px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FZwgqRkg2YI/Scjf3jZ4g8I/AAAAAAAAA1s/OpI-RsSW750/s400/Jules_Verne.jpg" border="0"></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jules Verne "The Father of Science Fiction"</span> <span style="font-size: 78%; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Photograph by Felix Nadar [French Photographer]</span> </div> <span style="font-size:130%;">Many of these things has been made, written and spoken about, by many people from many countries for a very long time, before “chitty chitty bang bang” and “Mary Poppins.” Evenly before <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Verne">Jules Gabriel Verne</a> would write any of his well read books, e.g., Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), From the Earth to the Moon (1865), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1869–1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873), for just put it into some context. Therefore, it is kind of natural that at the time of the dawn of the Web 3.o, e.i., Virtual [Web] Communities into Real actions [WC2A] we should watch these types of communities develop all over the map. This is the case of "Steampunk", I would let this video from 'Make Magazine' to explaine what Steampumk is or what it does, but with this post I am actually starting a narration about "the New Anthropology of the web", meaning how the web is changing our social life in unexpected, perhaps meaningful, and actually global ways. Steampunk, in effect is one of a kind community but there are others out there and so from caves to tribes, from feudal territories to industrial cities, from metropolitan urbanizations to the "tribes of the Web" or WC2RAs. The geography has changed, the map is not, as never before, the territory, as I said and wrote it before, "No because the map isn't the territory means that the territory doesn't exist", in effect it does exists, only we do not know it in its totality and we keep changing it too. The geographical landscape it seems divided "concurrently" by objects of desire rather than by political limits or nationalisms; weapons and frontiers are useless practices of power that came from a 20th century and from a rustic past before that era. "From here to the eternity" and beyond we have other types of challenges, which are beyond the mere and mortal problem of survival and, why not? living as we should, it seems to be our priority. </span><span style="font-size:130%;">We should live</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> as we always dream about we should live, with creativity, with beauty, with love and fun...or whatever makes us happy with the only limitation posted by the "golden rule". </span><span style="font-size:130%;">Today, as in any other time in our known and written history, </span><span style="font-size:130%;">humans have the possibility to reach their dearest dreams, or why should they live otherwise or in any other way? if we have all this amazing human intelligence to solve the most arduous problems, besides of having all those many cultures and technologies all behind of us, incidentally to support a long waited and written about "quasi-utopic" change? Some people, still prefer to live in caves though. They build cages and jails for themselves, their children and the best of the rest, everything, no matter what is the same color for them, that is the color of money. They don't look or car for beauty; they just want to eat, reproduce and go to sleep in the interim, without even asking why. They are in the sole business of survival and; so they live a life many times worst than those humans who endured the life at the Lower Paleolithic. Therefore and nonetheless, we have the technology, the skills and the Web, why looking into paleolithical or political solutions, when we should look into better human horizons for, and of, development</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> for all of us and not just for the fewer or the so called "chosen" ones? It is beyond me... still the Web 3.0 is near its sunrise and the Steampunk community could be an early sign of the very truth of this last statement.</span> <div align="center"> <object style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 0pt; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" width="500" height="325"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2816061&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1"></param> <embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2816061&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="500" height="325"></embed></object> </div> 0 2009-03-24T14:36:21Z 2009-03-24T14:35:00Z 299670 the-dawn-of-the-web-3-0-virtual-communities-to-real-actions-or 2009-03-24T14:36:21Z 1 1 2009-08-11T14:20:52Z 0.0.0.0 34526 15087 <IMG class=imgizqda id=img_0 src="http://lacomunidad.elpais.com/blogfiles/campus-party/berners.jpg">Tim Berners Lee, creador de algunas de las más importantes herramientas para el funcionamiento de la Web, como el lenguaje para producir páginas HTML, el protocolo para transferencias de datos HTTP o el sistema de localización de objetos URL, -abreviando, el padre de internet-; llega a la sala de prensa con su habitual timidez y, tras tomar asiento, sus pies parecen seguir caminando porque no paran de moverse bajo la mesa. También su cabeza parece tener su propio ritmo y tal cual da la sensación de que piensa a más velocidad de la que es capaz de hablar. <SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">“En la Red he visto cosas realmente maravillosas.
