Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity - Edwin Land
May 23rd, 2007I do not think there is anyway to know what the future media landscape will look like, it is and will continue to be in a state of flux. I bought that URL, www.estateofflux.com as I think that the fourth estate, media, will never be definable again - in flux.
Perhaps one day I will use this website to present information and research on this fact so that people can at least know where we are at each day as things change, cutting edge developments, what can we do, what can’t we do? -And why not?
There are no limits, with the internet at our fingertips, brains and creativity to dream up different ways of media visualisaton, presentation and consumption.
The web makes us smarter, saves us time, automates task that would have used huge amounts of our time previously. But we are in control of making the web smarter - pushing the boundaries for creative solutions, new ideas, innovation, quirky twists and individual insight.
There is so much speak of will there be a place for X,Y and Z with the developments of new media, maybe yes, maybe no we could spend all day making predictions based on only our own biases, assumptions and preferences.
But one thing that will never change is the dire need for creativity in society. Online, offline, everywhere.
Creativity requires the soul to let go of certainties. - Erich Fromm.

Dow Jones is the perfect example of a company that was unable to leverage technology to transform itself. Bloomberg should never have been able to get to the heights it has if Dow had anticipated its customers and recognised what its products were being used for.
