Great post. Any ideas what one could do to create a supportive learning environment outside of colleges and traditional schools?
@GabrielleThuy i really appreciate you bringing that up. when i think about what i love about them i remember first seeing this and I think my love for them has mostly come from what Marc Jacobs did there. I haven't followed them much before or after.
and @Francisco Dao makes some really great points. i think there could be a whole other article written just about what those creative risks are all about. because i think the lack of taking those risks is what makes a samsung chromebook not that cool (though google did take some risk on the OS). a product has a totally different vibe when it's almost as good as a macbook air instead of being the best version of something original.@Francisco Dao good point, i wonder if anything changed in terms of LV's line at that point as well. would be interesting to know more about it
Francisco, you make some really good points but I think this misses something key.
Louis Vuitton isn't just about image and logos and how things are showcased. There's a beauty and elegance to their clothing and other items. They've taken big risks and set trends at times and that's why a lot of people like their clothes. Of course there are many more people that buy their stuff because they see other people wearing it, and status, etc. But I don't think you could build brand with only that stuff and lack the real substance. That's what gets the early adopters and taste makers interested.
And Apple had that a while before they became the business success that everyone points to today.
@brijsingh sweet, thanks for sharing that book, looks really interesting
book recommendation for learning about valley history?
@LucidLunatic same problem
@AzizPoonawalla it's not re-hashing of articles, they're articles written about current events and topics of interests (mostly non-tech related world and US news). it's quite good. it's comparable to a magazine version of the daily show (they call it daily show meets the economist).
awesome interview
this'll be interesting
great post and maybe the way to find students would be to give them a test project with controlled problems coming up to see how they fair.
Where did that Ideas | They're inside all of us poster come from in the Ahhha office? Curious if anyone knows
