Back when we were concerned with not having attended MIT (Massachusets Institute of Technology) and worked in the Media Lab, we worked in a place called the New Media Innovation Centre (NewMIC). Actually, we did not work. We volunteered. Or, rather, we interned.
Why did we go? Well, there's a long history of anything you've been involved in. We had started a group in the demo scene (and commercial demo business) called New Media Productions. This was prior to the use of the term New Media. How Al Gore of us to say.
Speaking this way, we are less of a Donald Trump, and more of a not Bernie Sanders, but somewhat of a Ben Carson (BC).
Yes, we are a fan of Cartier, but that is not the subject of debate.
Let's talk of the New Media Roadmap.
Back when we interned (there was no sex involved or yay, included - sorry Wayne Shooster, nay Wayne Shorter, there were a few pretty nice girls involved, though), there was an area called the New Media Roadmap.
We could not believe they would include it, or consider it important. By the study of trends in contemporary research and technology, they believed they could predict the future: a bit like Long Term Capital Managment (LTCM) - a trend we can believe in.
Their process was mapping, or creating a roadmap. This we did ridicule. More of a subway map, in terms of creating platforms, their Roadmap included a lot of paper research.
A great deal of researchers interned or rather worked at NewMIC. Researchers like ... of Sony.
