Smart machines are replacing more and more jobs. Edward Hess and Katherine Ludwig show how to develop abilities that machines don't have so we can thrive in this Smart Machine Age. Underlying them all is a sense of personal humility: honestly recognizing our limitations and working to mitigate them. In nearly every industry, smart machines are replacing human labor. It's not just factory jobs-automated technologies are handling people's investments, diagnosing illnesses, and analyzing written documents. If we humans are going to endure, Edward Hess and Katherine Ludwig say we're going to need a dose of humility. We need to be humble enough to let go of the idea that smart means knowing the most, using that information quickest, and making the fewest mistakes. Smart machines will always be better than we are at those things. Instead, we need to cultivate important abilities that smart machines don't have (yet): thinking critically, creatively, and innovatively and building close relationships with others so we can collaborate effectively. Hess and Ludwig call this being NewSmart. To develop these abilities, we need to practice four specific behaviors: keeping our egos out of our way, managing our thoughts and emotions to curb any biases or defensiveness, listening to others with an open mind, and connecting with others socially and emotionally. What all these behaviors have in common is, again, humility-avoiding self-centeredness so we can learn from and work with other humans. Hess and Ludwig offer a guide to developing these NewSmart abilities and to creating organizations where these qualities are encouraged and rewarded.

If you're like many users, you may have a digital camera, plenty of snapshots, and a copy of Photoshop Elements, Adobe's consumer-level image editing software. But as anyone who's just come back from vacation with hundreds of digital photos knows, getting all those photos printed and organized is another matter altogether. Many users find that printing photos on a home printer and assembling them into a traditional photo album can be a tedious and painstaking chore. With Adobe Photoshop Elements for Windows, all this has changed. Using this software, you can easily organize your digital photos into an album and then order a hardcover, professionally bound book printed from your album pages. Best-selling author Katherine Ulrich cuts straight to the chase in this compact, low-priced volume, using simple project-based instruction and big, colorful screen shots to guide you through the process of assembling your digital photos into an album using Photoshop Elements for Windows. By focusing on a single goal (organizing your photos into an album) rather than exploring every option and feature of the software, Katherine demonstrates the quickest, easiest, smartest route to photographic success. Each short builds on the last as you learn how to import photos from your digital camera to your PC, add captions and notes, fix image flaws, position your photos, create albums, choose your styles, fine-tune your layouts, and order your stunning book of photos online (or print your own). This book's friendly, colorful layout and ultra-affordable price makes it ideal for anyone who wants to quickly learn how to create beautiful, printed photo books to share with family and friends.
