'Folk naivete’ definitely seemed to be a cliche style employed to disarm the consumer thinking of themselves as 'individual'.

If your company's reach is limitless, you need to appeal to everyone. If your company's offering is wide and disparate, you need a visual brand that offers cohesion. If you want to fit in and belong, you need to employ the same vi

It wouldn't happen at once. I wonder whether the gradual switch would need to be made possible through something similar to a micropayment subscription model, which is non publisher specific. I don't want to commit to subscription

Come on people. We've all seen Jurassic park. This kind of thing never ends well .. what are they thinking? Edit: bioengineering projects released into live ecologies have unforeseen consequences.

The author of this post doesn't see this as a problem and is willing to accept drawbacks for a simple life; I think it's a useful point because it sums up the attitude of the public at large. There are quite specific systemic prob
