COCKINESS IS NOT LIKELY GONE FOR GOOD
Can you say hubris?
Webbed, Wired and Worried. "I've been wondering how the entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley were looking at the wired world they've been building and the assumptions they are building it upon. In a recent visit to Stanford University and Silicon Valley, I found at least some of their libertarian, technology-will-solve-everything cockiness was gone." (By Thomas L. Friedman for The New York Times, 5/26/2002.) [Brent Sleeper's Web Journal]

QUESTIONS ABOUT CAUSE AND EFFECT
What really makes a "place" creative and why?
"Be creative or die" [Salon.com] is an interview with Richard Florida about his book called "The Rise of the Creative Class." Memphis scored dead last in his research into cities that have the right kind of creative buzz to attract long-term prosperity. The creative class web site is here. A study done to try and "help" Memphis is here.
I think some of the cause and effect relationships in this data are still fuzzy, but in the spirit of Old Economy and New Economy thinking, there are some excellent findings. Those of you in Silicon Valley, Austin, Boston and other technology centers may not find that this is news. In fact, you may discover that you didn't know other places could be quite so "backward."
