Just now, Jeff Jarvis posted something that resonates strongly with me. See: The myth of the creative class:
“We have believed – I have been taught — that there are two scarcities in society: talent and attention. There are only so many people with talent and we give their talent only so much attention — not [...]
Some people have asked why I keep talking — on this blog and elsewhere — about Nokia’s US service problems. This video explains my motives.
