Instead of mindlessly tossing billions at or taking billions from the Net as such, investors should be spending their time making sure that it's the future Fords and General Motors of cyberspace that are getting the capital they need. James Surowiecki billioncapitalcyberspace share on social
No one likes to be criticized, of course, but if the things we successfully strive for do not make our future selves happy, or if the things we unsuccessfully avoid do, then it seems reasonable (if somewhat ungracious) for them to cast a disparaging glance backward and wonder what the hell we were thinking.

In fact, I believe the first companies that make an effort to develop an authentic, transparent, and meaningful social contract with their fans and customers will turn out to be the ones that are the most successful in the future. While brands that refuse to make the effort will lose stature and customer loyalty. Simon Mainwaring authenticbrandcompany share on social
A feeling for history is almost an essential for writing and appreciating good science fiction, for sensing the connections between the past and future that run through our present. Pamela Sargent appreciateconnectionessential Change image and share on social
