In the end, it's all about relationships

Wednesday, January 22, 2003


Don Tapscott, business consultant and author of “Digital Capital: Harnessing the Power of Business Webs,” says that it’s a mistake to discount the power of the Internet based on the bursting of the tech bubble:  “There is a real danger that people will decide to throw out the Internet baby with the dot-com bath water. This is a big mistake, and punishment is proving to be very swift for companies that fall into this trap. We’re not at the end of the Internet revolution; we’re at the very beginning.” Tapscott says the next phase of the Internet revolution will be driven by an explosion of “smart” devices and new users, combined with ever-expanding bandwidth, which will vastly increase businesses’ ability to foster relationships with their customers, suppliers and employees.

Invention isn't magic: it's mess and mistakes

[via VirtualR]

Celebrated inventor Dean Kamen (best known recently for his creation of the Segway Human Transporter, a personal transportation gyroscopic scooter) says there’s no magic in invention, just mess: “It’s not some fundamental magic. The invention process is incredibly messy. It’s incredibly frustrating. You go around, bump into the wall, try another place, bump into another wall, do a little more, bump into the same wall again, and say, ‘Geez, I’ve been here before. What’s wrong?’ ... We learn to deal with failure, and deal with frustration. I have been, for most of my life, walking around the world and kissing frogs. Most of the time, when you kiss a frog, you get a wart; every once in a while, it turns into a prince or a princess.” So you need to kiss a lot of frogs. Sounds pretty simple. Try it.

wikipedia

I just came across the wikipedia and I’m completely hooked. 

“Wikipedia is a multilingual project to create a complete and accurate open content encyclopedia. We started on 15 January 2001 and are already working on 98972 articles in the English version. Visit the help page and experiment in the sandbox to learn how you can edit any article right now.”

The Rashid Brothers

Tuesday, January 14, 2003

I discovered today that the work of two “designers” whose work I greatly admire are actually brothers.  Industrial designer, Karim Rashid, and Hani Rashid of Asymptote architecture.

“Karim Rashid answers...
what are you afraid of regarding the future?
I have no fear, I love evolution, I’m looking forward to the day when
we’re 50% synthetic and artificial, there’s something obsessive,
sort of like science fiction

Hani Rashid answers...
when you were a child, what did you want to be?
an artist like my dad.”

Read the interviews at designboom:
Karim Rashid
Hani Rashid
