Power Number
Â
From my little cousin crying because he didn’t know his home phone to a number scribbled on a cocktail napkin, ten digits is a powerful sequence to have. For me, 813.920.1266 is a number ingrained in my mind. It’s my Grandma’s. She’s gone now. But I still dial it every so often. Today it reaches the Eagles Golf Club instead.
In our cell phone world, I wonder if numbers will become a lost memory as we default to our digital address books. And when we lose our phones in a cab, do we lose more than just a list of digits?!
Geek Gods, Icons of Counterculture
Â
Throughout time, counterculture has been feared, celebrated and often imitated. As technology is the new social currency of our day, geeks have risen as aspirational icons. They are geek gods, loved for their relentless pursuit to find breakthrough solutions to age-old problems. E.g. Herman Miller for Aeron Chair, Frank Gehry for Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and Nicholas Negropont for One Laptop Per Child.
