(September 2011) No matter how much we might want to deny it, this age in which we live is defined by new technologies, new behaviors and new ways of looking at and interacting with the real world. Nowhere is this clearer than in the fast-changing world of publishing, where the model for how we deliver our content to our customers has irrevocably changed. If we’ve learned anything these tumultuous past 20 years, it’s that unless we change, we’ll be relegated to the status of MySpace and AOL. If you’re unfamiliar with the references, you might want to search for their profiles on Facebook.
The changes to aviation are only slightly less extreme than those in publishing, but only because the devices in which we achieve flight are blunt physical machines made to bend air into lift and heat into propulsion. (This fact delights me to no end, by the way.)
