Описание:
The history of how a deceptively ordinary piece of office furniture transformed our relationship with information
The ubiquity of the filing cabinet in the twentieth-century office space, along with its noticeable absence of style, has obscured its transformative role in the histories of both information technology and work. In the first in-depth history of this neglected artifact, Craig Robertson explores how the filing cabinet profoundly shaped the way that information and data have been sorted, stored, retrieved, and used.
Invented in the 1890s, the filing cabinet was a result of the nineteenth-century faith in efficiency. Previously, paper records were arranged haphazardly: bound into books, stacked in piles, curled into slots, or impaled on spindles. The filing cabinet organized loose papers in tabbed folders that could be sorted alphanumerically, radically changing how people accessed, circulated, and structured information.
Robertson’s unconventional history of the origins of the information age posits the filing cabinet as an information storage container, an “automatic memory” machine that contributed to a new type of information labor privileging manual dexterity over mental deliberation. Gendered assumptions about women’s nimble fingers helped to naturalize the changes that brought women into the workforce as low-level clerical workers. The filing cabinet emerges from this unexpected account as a sophisticated piece of information technology and a site of gendered labor that with its folders, files, and tabs continues to shape how we interact with information and data in today’s digital world.

He understands the implications of his mission all too well: he will not age, and by the time he returns home all the people he knew will be dead. His lone companion on the quest is the ship's irritable AI. Jon will not only pushed to the extremes of human exploration, but the extremes of his own psychological limits. The Forever Life follows the solo mission of a resourceful and resilient fighter, as Jon encounters unexpectedly hostile natives on the various planets he visits. He is able to befriends precious few. But as time goes by, all communications with his superiors gradually cease, leaving him in an eerie silence with more questions than answers. The home he left may have turned its back on him, but his mission still stands: save humanity, even when it refuses to save itself.
