Interview to Sony Chairman

Really interesting interview about change

I remember a time when I worked for a TV network. There used to be only three nationwide broadcasting networks in the US. Around the time cable TV was invented, I was at a broadcast convention, and the head of television said in a speech to those of us gathered: "Viewing audiences are satisfied with three choices. They don't need cable and satellite TV."

I was about 40 then, and raised my hand to speak: "That's not true," I said. "The customer will always like choice. While it's better for broadcasters if the world stays the same - that there will always be three networks - it's going to change."

Four weeks later I was made an unexpected job offer. I was hired as president, replacing the man who had given the speech. If I had kept my mouth shut, I would have remained a journalist. And of course cable TV, satellite broadcasting and the like did develop, just as I'd anticipated.

Analog..

For some time, I've been ignoring books, not electronic e-books, but paper ones. Maybe it is just like movies, that I've seen so many they are not interesting anymore. Thanks to the gods 1421 and 1434 are fascinating books about world history and how to question the status of things as we know them.

One thing that greatly puzzled me when writing 1421 was the lack of curiosity among many professional historians.

things that "are"

Sometimes is better not to question things, just let them be. electric art.

Just in case..

my bones aren't the kind of breaking, but.. who wouldn't wear these?

"Too often, I believe, the meaning of a work of art is lost as a result of a thoughtless or unsuitable placement of the work for display. The installation of my own work, for example, as well as that of others, is contemporary with its creation, and the space surrounding the work is crucial to it. Frequently as much thought has gone into the placement of a piece as into the piece itself."
