Where design, technology & story meet, I work: crafting storylines & narrative arcs that examine how the future will shape us, and how we can shape the future.

@fosta There's another layer to this meme. That innovation can be nurtured by creating a 'fun' environment that encourages creativity. The reality is that innovation is hard work. It’s not necessarily fun, but a key component is creativity...the type you speak of.

Anyone know what this vitriolic vehicle of hate @EpochTimes that’s just landed in my mailbox? Awful, ugly #propaganda trading on #COVID19 fear.

🇷🇺 Russia’s test of RuNet foreshadows more censorship, but also a more #multipolar global landscape. Different #technology regulation philosophies means different #laws, #economics, #culture. All of which will fuel the competition for the world’s #data.
