Another Year In Ideas

December 19, 2009

One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is to read the New York Time’s annual Year In Ideas.

It’s a great way to catch up on some of the most interesting ideas across a wide range of topics. I find that it fuels my innovative spirit all year long.

I hope you do too.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

My Favorite Quotes

"Some days when you pick up the newspaper it seems to have been co-written by J. G. Ballard, Isaac Asimov, and Philip K. Dick. Human sexual reproduction without male genetic material, digital viruses, identity theft, robot firefighters and minesweepers, weather control, pharmaceutical mood engineering, rapid species extinction, US Presidents controlled by little boxes mounted between their shoulder blades, air-conditioned empires in the Arabian desert, transnational corporatocracy, reality television—some days it feels as if the imagined future of the mid-twentieth century was a kind of checklist, one from which we have been too busy ticking off items to bother with extending it. Meanwhile, the dwindling number of items remaining on that list—interplanetary colonization, sentient computers, quasi-immortality of consciousness through brain-download or transplant, a global government (fascist or enlightened)—have been represented and re-represented so many hundreds of times in films, novelsand on television that they have come to seem, paradoxically, already attained, already known, lived with, and left behind. Past, in other words." Source: Details Magazine, May 2008, on the Long Now foundation
