You don't have any resistance outside the box and if you settle for the middle well nothing really happens. If you take the lead and test the waters than when you push against the edges the most creativity happens. Here is the link... http://bit.ly/53Nag2<br /><br />I totally agree with you about how things have changed. I would rather sit in on a #journchat than watch the CBS comedies and Men of a Certain Age. The DVR made me realize I can watch them when I want to and when it is best for me with out the commercials. But the thing I know I do is share and share more!! <br /><br />There is still a place for traditional media because older people do not jump online and do not see the Internet as we do. I mean I have been online since 97 when I met my first love via a Yahoo IM. There needs to be a way to balance everything but only time will do that.

It's particularly relevant to me as I try to figure out how HS kids communicate and consume/exchange information and ideas. I agree that "the world has changed" but I think you might be better off saying that the world continues to change. I think the real out of the box thinkers will not only identify future patterns of change before others do, but, to your point, also act and utilize those creative thoughts within limitations.<br><br>What I'm curious about is how individuals, small businesses, or even large businesses can remain best suited to act on those ideas? What traits/practices can keep us open and flexible change? How can we expand our boundaries/limits to allow more room to adapt? Really enjoyed this post, Stuart.

What's the point of coming up with an awesome unbuildable thing? I think that we still need to take that approach…but be grounded in our thinking at the same time.
