“ Living as we do in such an unstable culture where anybody over thirty has to be astonished by how deeply and permanently the world has changed, it is hard for us to divorce fixity from questions of intelligence and imagination. But experiments and history suggest that a powerful stabilizing force exists and slowed the whole process of speech origins.

“ Some tweet to share information, though that sharing is often really a boast about how au courant the twitterer is. Many tweet as self-promotion.

The importance of story telling
In his TED presentation ” Welcome to Nollywood ” [
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/franco_sacchi_on_nollywood.html ],
Franco Sacchi tells us:
“I hope that it will inspire other African nations to (…) create an narrative for the population something to identify, something positive, something that really is psychological releaf and is part of the culture. (…)
And there is one thing, one small challenge that I have for you and it should make us relfect on the importance of story telling:
Try to image a world where the only goal is food and a shelter but no stories, no stories around the campfire, no legends no fairy tales, nothing, no novels.
Difficult, hey ?
It’s meaningless.
So this is what I really think, I think that the key to a healthy society is a triving community of story tellers. And I think that the Nigerian filmmakers really have proven it.”

The relativity of value
“Asset prices rise not because of “buying” per se, because indeed for every buyer, there is a seller. They rise because those transacting agree that their prices should be higher. All that everyone else - including those who own some of that asset and those who do not - need do is nothing. Conversely, for prices of assets to fall, it takes only one seller and one buyer who agree that the former value of an asset was too high. If no other bids are competing with that buyer’s, then the value of the asset falls, and it falls for everyone who owns it. If a million other people own it, then their net worth goes down even though they did nothing. Two investors made it happen by transacting, and the rest of the investors made it happen by choosing not to disagree with their price. Financial values can disappear through a decrease in prices for any type of investment asset, including bonds, stocks and land.”

prototype philosophy
prototype philosophy | signaled by mark schraad - IxDA - http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=31696
Great article on the business week site today about design…
http://www.businessweek.com/innovate /content /jul2008 /id20080728 _623527.htm?chan=innovation _innovation +%2B +design _top +stories
Near the end of the article Claudia Kotchka talks about prototype workshops…
“Participants get scared using such rough prototypes to elicit consumer feedback at the beginning, but they are won over when they see the benefits of co-creation, ” says Kotchka. “We have found that the more finished a prototype is, the less feedback people will give you. When you give prospective users something half-finished, they think you don’t know the answer. They know you need their help—and really open up.”
She probably should have given some credit to Bill Buxton regarding the notion of using form and polish to project openness and encourage input and exploration.
