This is Paul Ford’s insightful and poignant keynote talk for the 2012 graduating class of the Interaction Design MFA program at the School of Visual Arts.
I’ve been haunted by these lines:
“I can never remember if we are supposed to live each day as it were our last, or if it’s the first day of the rest of our lives. It’s hard to tell sometimes. We make movies about it over and over again. … Of course these movies are made by people who are totally dedicated to making films. They give up their lives and neglect their children to make movies about the value of family.”
- bmitc 4y agoVery interesting stuff, both this article and the one originally posted. This stood out to me: > This is also from The Soul of a New Machine: One of the engineers in the book burned out and quit and he left a note that read: “I am going to a commune in Vermont and will deal with no unit of time shorter than a season.” The idea of slowing things down is a very interesting idea to me. I'm fairly certain that all the fluff in the world about moving fast actually slows us down in the long run. I also really need to read The Soul of a New Machine.
