A New Horizon for Journalism

This is one of the best summations of where journalism stands in 2009... the good, the bad and the obviously ugly. In the Sept 24th issue of the New York Review of Books. Author: Michael Massing.

The idea here is that there is actually a way forward, and it isn't all online. Check it out:

thinking about thinking

My vote for idea of the month is using your thoughts to send tweets. What a brilliant way for people afflicted with paralysis to communicate -- that was the initial impact of this.

It just seems to me that this is the beginning of something huge. Pretty soon we'll be making bank transfers by thinking about them, paying bills, you name it.

Ideafarmidea welcomes any and all thinking about thinking.

Ideas are like seeds.

You plant them, they grow. If they are strong, they thrive.

Sometimes, they flame out quickly. Sometimes, they mutate into barely recognizable versions of their original form.

Once in a great while, like E=mc2, they become game-changers.

The ideafarmidea is very simple, and just what the name implies: a place to plant idea-seeds, and watch them grow. A place to brainstorm without prejudice. Fertile ground.

The world can use all the good ideas it can get, right now.

Let the planting begin! My first idea is... the ideafarmidea.

Your turn.
