These are little snippets from the internet that I've recently enjoyed. I've split my posts about mobile, attention data and other aspects of the future of the web into New Cartographer.
“ Lutheranism didn’t kill off religion, but it did kill off cathedrals… and cathedrals are very nice. But the fact is that after we stopped building cathedrals we still had tons and tons of religion. It didn’t die just because we couldn’t build cathedrals anymore. And it may be that we can’t build $300 million films anymore, and it may be that we don’t have giant software firms that have offices on four continents anymore, but I don’t think it means that software goes away and I don’t think it means that film goes away. And I think the point of policy shouldn’t be to ensure that the way we built software last year goes on forever; the point of policy should be to make sure that we always have software.
