Looking Ahead

by Brian Reich | 2 Jan 2009, 2:31pm

The economy is tanking.  Media is changing.  2009 has only just begun, but its clear that we are entering a time of significant change.  When we look back at this time next year, everything will be different. That is probably true every year, but still…

I think this year, and the incredible events in our economy, politics, media, and everything else are more than just interesting happenings, more than just an excuse for little fixes.  They are, individually and collectively, an opportunity to re-think, re-invent, re-consider, re-order, re-focus, re-boot, and re-everything.

We shouldn’t just repair our economy, we should remake it.

We shouldn’t just web 2.0-ify our government, we should reinvent it - completely.

This way of thinking should be applied to everything - education, philanthropy, sports, media, architecture, etc.  We have an opportunity to fundamentally change the way our society operates - for the better - and we should take that opportunity now.
