Happy to announce the launch of the new 100 Year website we built for the person who coined the term "personal computer' and co-created the first online community: @stewartbrand. It includes his entire ~50,000 photo archive that is now in the Public Domain stewartbrand.org/

Home

Stewart Brand is a writer, futurist, and organizational architect whose work has shaped how we think about technology, ecology, and the long view of civilization.

When the original Star Wars trilogy aired on Chilean television back in the early 2000s, a controversial move to splice in beer ads to avoid commercial breaks was made and the results are equal parts baffling and hilarious.

The advantage of infinite stories is that you can reboot them over and over, different actors in the same stories, and people still watch. The familiarity is an asset. When you stretch out one instantiation of such stories too long, you breed unfamiliarity and fatigue.

Slide decks hide can shallow thinking. Narratively structured memos are harder to write because they require better thinking. It’s worth it.

I see a lot of organizations relying too much on slide decks relative to actual written memos for their internal communications. Presentations are great but prose has a unique value in clarifying thought and creating an unambiguous record.

And if it were the case, it’s hard to see how it wouldn’t lead by similar reasoning to the conclusion that every work done by a human artist is a derivative work of everything that artist has ever seen, by virtue of it contributing to the wiring of the neurons in their brain.
