"We live at a time when we have a rare opportunity to make up the rules, because they haven’t been invented yet. To set the standards and the norms and the honorable way of doing things. And this, I believe, is our responsibility as publishers and curators and consumers of information. Again, it comes down to choice: The normative models we choose today will shape how much our culture will value this form of creative labor tomorrow."

This article made me think about our role as content creators and curators...and how we are inspired and inspire others.
Loved this article. I feel 100% combinational and would proudly wear a 'REMIXER' name tag. Especially loved the use of the visuals and quotes - @Julie, you should add one to this post!
ReplyDeleteI came out of that article with a slap-happy grin on my face and new names for what I want to be: an information curator, a curiosity sherpa. Thanks Julie. I love that Popova made this blog post from her Creative Mornings presentation - cool to think about why the content translates from presentation to blog; it must be the tone, and the seamlessly integrated visuals & links.
