In the 1940s, the developmental psychologist Jean Piaget noticed that, while adults can almost mindlessly sort a series of jumbled sticks by size, children under 5 often fail at this task. And it’s not until roughly age 7 that they can do it with ease. Maggie McGonigle, a retired senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh and author of the textbook “Understanding Cognitive Development,” replicated Piaget’s observations in a series of experiments that tested the ability of children to sort five or more squares or rods on a touch-screen. She also found that while 5-year-olds initially struggle, they can be trained to sort objects successfully.”May 2021 https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/The-War-Within-Conservatism Mon, 04 Jan 2021 13:42:49 +0000 Nicolas Ortega https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/The-War-Within-Conservatism <img width="4076" height="4076" width_o="4076" height_o="4076" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/52748d64cca9b155497e61a01c854fc557a72320bf5a28dd35b2ca90738b9af6/0103-BR-Cvr-LRG.jpg" data-mid="93871398" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/52748d64cca9b155497e61a01c854fc557a72320bf5a28dd35b2ca90738b9af6/0103-BR-Cvr-LRG.jpg" /> https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/Biden-Beats-Trump Fri, 20 Nov 2020 17:50:35 +0000 Nicolas Ortega https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/Biden-Beats-Trump <img width="2000" height="2633" width_o="2000" height_o="2633" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9fbaaccc8b55044bb2df513055024dd09984d31e6b1eec4bfd492c7778554f20/F01.jpg" data-mid="89534346" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9fbaaccc8b55044bb2df513055024dd09984d31e6b1eec4bfd492c7778554f20/F01.jpg" /> https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/America-Votes Thu, 29 Oct 2020 19:43:48 +0000 Nicolas Ortega https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/America-Votes <img width="2550" height="3300" width_o="2550" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f2e2967d38853733828e294d02212670ab316fc2b477fc5f076c6657c4c48c08/FF_mock01_02.jpg" data-mid="87091165" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f2e2967d38853733828e294d02212670ab316fc2b477fc5f076c6657c4c48c08/FF_mock01_02.jpg" /> https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/Flower-Issue Thu, 11 Jun 2020 16:38:14 +0000 Nicolas Ortega https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/Flower-Issue <img width="2500" height="1511" width_o="2500" height_o="1511" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bab7c903a594ba35df1e430b6c029aaafdeaf3d785deac6df656cd5ed269935c/xFF_GS_01_02.jpg" data-mid="74256371" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bab7c903a594ba35df1e430b6c029aaafdeaf3d785deac6df656cd5ed269935c/xFF_GS_01_02.jpg" />GossamerArt Direction: Verena Mitschelitch March 2020 https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/Where-Is-My-Driverless-Car Wed, 13 May 2020 21:29:27 +0000 Nicolas Ortega https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/Where-Is-My-Driverless-Car <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/58e235e822d94f1ce8d347f1b6e8ddc2f21098a419142815f5b74c0a4ccb8d61/3.jpg" data-mid="70912228" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/58e235e822d94f1ce8d347f1b6e8ddc2f21098a419142815f5b74c0a4ccb8d61/3.jpg" /><img width="2048" height="1364" width_o="2048" height_o="1364" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ce5aad2b8104af3e3e9fe8c535680b1e6e99dd691aed7445862b061b3968a3a7/01_01.JPG" data-mid="74632250" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ce5aad2b8104af3e3e9fe8c535680b1e6e99dd691aed7445862b061b3968a3a7/01_01.JPG" />The New York Times&nbsp; Art Direction:&nbsp; Jaspal Riyhait“The pandemic has accelerated some long-predicted technology habits like telemedicine and online grocery shopping. But driverless car technology might be kicked into reverse.&nbsp;The ubiquitous computer-driven car that seemed just around the corner for a decade is now further away than ever.&nbsp; I want driverless cars to work. They could spare us a lot of needless death. But there are big obstacles to the technology, including that it doesn’t work so well (yet), threatens to bankrupt all but the richest companies that try it and might never solve many of the problems we hoped it would address.

Well, the imagination needn’t run too far, because in essence, that is what has happened as we were sucked into our war against the coronavirus. While there is much that can be faulted in our flat-footed response to this pandemic, especially at the federal level, one clear-cut failure should be even more obvious to anyone who has ever run a business: We had glaring gaps in our supply chain and no immediate plan to fill them.&nbsp; Start with the basics: We did not have anywhere near the necessary number of N95 respirator masks, gowns, and other equipment to protect our frontline troops—the medical first-responders and hospital staff. Nor did we have enough ventilators to support our most severely stricken living casualties. Witness the scramble of state governors outbidding one another and the federal government to procure ventilators and personal protective equipment (PPE). While the U.S. does have a Strategic National Stockpile (SNS), an emergency repository of antibiotics, vaccines, chemical antidotes, and other critical medical supplies, it has never been sufficiently maintained. Indeed, no administration, including the present one, has supported funding an SNS robust enough to meet even the first few months’ worth of need during a severe pandemic.”April 2020 https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/The-Coronavirus-Issue Fri, 17 Apr 2020 15:48:00 +0000 Nicolas Ortega https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/The-Coronavirus-Issue <img width="2550" height="3300" width_o="2550" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c35135a05de41d633f22ccf30b2ec997348d73fbc8fd4a496e74d8f8c95f16ba/003.jpg" data-mid="67357506" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c35135a05de41d633f22ccf30b2ec997348d73fbc8fd4a496e74d8f8c95f16ba/003.jpg" />MIT Technology Review Art Direction: Emily LuongThe Coronavirus Issue. “Navigating a world reshaped by covid-19: Herculean efforts to find a drug; scientists and technologists from all disciplines lending their expertise to the fight; blueprints for reopening society, rethinking data privacy, restarting the economy, redesigning mental health care, and safely holding an election; lessons to be learned from countries that have tackled their outbreaks more successfully; and stories of preparedness and resilience in isolation.” April 2020 https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/The-Security-issue Mon, 17 Feb 2020 22:00:23 +0000 Nicolas Ortega https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/The-Security-issue <img width="2823" height="4441" width_o="2823" height_o="4441" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9170d62d5b0c06b4412a65db6a5d99fbe8dc90565c66c6e9b5b02798ba2e6736/00001.jpg" data-mid="61336864" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9170d62d5b0c06b4412a65db6a5d99fbe8dc90565c66c6e9b5b02798ba2e6736/00001.jpg" />Politico Europe Art Direction: Tim Ball “The Security Issue: Europe’s geopolitical year ended before it began.“ February 2020 https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/Inside-the-Devil-s-Machine Thu, 30 Jan 2020 00:10:57 +0000 Nicolas Ortega https://nicolasortega.cargo.site/Inside-the-Devil-s-Machine <img width="2550" height="3300" width_o="2550" height_o="3300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/75fb9b5ee803a72c839470e4ef811efb861f8670c88cfaab2f695a3d3e2ea668/mock.jpg" data-mid="59775730" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/75fb9b5ee803a72c839470e4ef811efb861f8670c88cfaab2f695a3d3e2ea668/mock.jpg" /> The New York Times Art Direction: Minh Huong“Stock traders are accused of siphoning $60 billion from state coffers, in a scheme that one called “the devil’s machine.” Germany is the first country to try to get its money back” January 2020“
