Uh… ABC… that’s not… that’s not how “rawdogging” originated www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Honourable mentions

In the Committee's Choice, honourable mentions were given to "right to disconnect" (RTD) and "rawdogging".

RTD refers to a law that grants employees the right to not be contacted about work during non-work hours.

And rawdogging stemmed from a trend online where people would travel on a long-haul flight with no electronic entertainment, devices or reading material.

Oh, this is going to be interesting. It already has me thinking about many things and I’m not yet through the original preface.

“Information in its "real" essence is probably too amorphous, too ambiguous, too subjective, too slippery and elusive, to ever be pinned down precisely by the objective and deterministic processes embodied in a computer. (At least in the conventional uses of computers as we see them today; future developments in artificial intelligence may endow these machines with more of our capacity to cope.)”
