Book idea: A collection of screenshots of various internal tools (at companies) never seen by public and a discussion about what they’re for, how they work, their peculiarities, shortcuts they take, etc. E.g.https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/1071629359839031296 …

Book idea: A timeline of examples of anthropomorphized computers, each with context about why it was done, what was it trying to accomplish, what was people’s perception of machines at any given time.pic.twitter.com/7UcPJi2WlO

Book idea: This thread, as a recursive book. History of tech through its words. You start with a word derived from old technology (e.g. “dialing”), and explain it. That definition uses words derived from *older* technologies, and you have to do it again.https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/1079608499083059200 …

Book idea: Intercoms across time and space. Their evolution, adaptation, meaning in different countries, and esthetic. Tons of photos, but also some stories.pic.twitter.com/SyP4190qbM
(I am very, very into the aesthetic of American intercoms and doorbell banks.)pic.twitter.com/W5FbCpuuEp

Book idea: Photographic appreciation of little devices and helpers like this one; small, highly specific tools that appear to solve very particular problems in various industries. (Each one with a short story/explanation by someone from that industry.)https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/1124199670320787456 …

Book idea: The history of traffic signs throughout the world – the culture, the typography, the differences, the quirks. Photos interspersed with various traffic manual standards pages.https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/1171835327691948032?s=21 …

Peering in one of the outbuildings I realized it was a small workshop for making road signs. They had walls full of signs without type applied, rolls of reflective material, drawers of vinyl type...
Ah, amazing. I have been there with friends, but I completely missed that part!https://www.getrevue.co/profile/shift-happens/issues/a-time-machine-behind-the-cypress-trees-133223 …
