    How tech dramatically changes business and society. First the skeptics deny that change will happen. Then they fight it. Then they accept it, saying they knew all along that it was inevitable.

  • An idea worth spreading

    We need to focus more on wisdom and insight, rather than just developing the next shinier and newer version of technology.

  • A comment on Conversation: How do you think mathematics are related to music?

    Mar 6 2011: As a side point to your conversation, music nurtures core ideals that we want to impart in our children. It helps with memory, for one, as musicians must memorize not only the melody of a piece but also the individual notes that constitute it. Music also teaches us how to get along with others. A band must play in balance or else it becomes cacophony. If the drummer bangs away too loudly, for instance, everything feels off kilter. A powerful and supporting group dynamic teaches the importance of choice, of listening, and of conversing. The group that works together achieves its goals. In this way, it also interlinks with mathematics, which to my mind (and I'm not a mathematician) always seemed in some abstract way to be about balance.
