Study­ing the Arts ranked as a key cre­ativ­ity indi­ca­tor for US employ­ers. Iron­i­cally, while 97 per­cent of employ­ers say cre­ativ­ity is of increas­ing impor­tance, only 72 per­cent say that hir­ing cre­ative peo­ple is a priority.

We’re sup­port­ing this doc­u­men­tary. You should too.

Why? Because when we ques­tion what it is we do and how we do it. When we think out loud we are design­ing. We need to cap­ture the thoughts about design and cre­ative think­ing for every­one. When we do this kind of work every­one ben­e­fits from the answers as well as the questions.

We really hope they will talk with Ralph Caplan.

Any­one you want to add to the list?

A bit of food for thought.
When it comes to the dig­i­tal net­works that now sur­round us, the fact is that most us can’t just GTFO, even if we wanted to. The sooner we move beyond the addic­tion metaphor, the sooner we’ll be able to see, with some clar­ity and hon­esty, the extent and impli­ca­tions of our depen­dency on our net­worked com­put­ing and media devices. What hap­pens to the human self as it comes to expe­ri­ence more and more of the world, and of life, through the medi­a­tion of the screen?
