The Future Was Now
by Brad Rowen
Automation in is increasingly in the news. In particular, the suggestion that American workers are going to lose out in the coming robot revolution. It’s a genuine concern of course. We’ll have to work hard to help those displaced, as we have always had to. But that doesn’t mean we can or even should try…

The Right Tool For the Job
by Brad Rowen
I’ve seen a similar joke in more than one movie or TV program. The gist is something like this. Two people are trying to sneak through a door. One replies that they have a master key. They promptly reveal a hammer and break the window. “Fits any lock,” they say. On the one hand, the…

What We Want
by Brad Rowen
We all have that friend or relative with whom eating out is a chore. It starts in the car. “Where would you like to eat?” we say, bracing ourselves for the inevitable reply. “Oh, anywhere is fine,” they assure us. “You choose.” And thus, the game is afoot. If you’re like me, you’ll start in…

by Brad Rowen

Tipping Points
by Brad Rowen
Anyone who’s watched a huge, carefully constructed domino palace fall into a pile of disjointed plastic knows it’s true: it is easier to destroy than to create. If we’re honest, we know it can also provide a certain rush. Just watch this video if you have any doubts. It’s shows 128,000 dominoes falling, setting a…

Asking the Right Question
by Brad Rowen
We are creatures of habit. When something works, we tend to stick with it until it doesn’t anymore, often even ignoring better alternatives when they come along. Sometimes it’s for reasons of nostalgia, or just a perfectly normal resistance to planned obsolescence. Maybe we stick with an old cell phone in spite of the latest…
