Would a Distributed Model of Government be More Suitable for a Complex, Diverse 21st Century Democracy?
1 comment on Would a Distributed Model of Government be More Suitable for a Complex, Diverse 21st Century Democracy?Last week I wrote about the forces that, in my opinion, are contributing to an increasingly polarized America. I mentioned three such key forces: the structural changes and employment challenges our economy is going through; the changing demographics and emergence of a kind of new establishment in US society; and the technology-amplified, free-for-all conversations taking…

About a year ago I wrote a blog on the post retirement phase of my life. Tom Foremski, a journalist blogger and friend who reports on the business and culture of innovation in Silicon Valley Watcher, wrote an interesting comment in my blog: “In some ways, I see your post-retirement life as being somewhat futuristic,…

From time to time, I like to reflect on my feelings about blogging, and then write about them in an entry in my blog. I have not done so in a while, and it has now been just about six years since I started this blog, so I thought that it would be a good…

I have been thinking a lot about the Shirley Sherrod case, not so much for what we can learn about the current state of race relations or political discourse in the US, both of which have been extensively discussed by people much savvier than me on the subjects, but for what the case teaches us…

The summit brought together leaders in the field to discuss the use of these technologies and capabilities in Cuba, today and in the future. Many, but not all, of the participants were of Cuban heritage, either directly born on the…

Every six months or so, I turn to blogging itself as the topic for that week’s post. Perhaps, as someone wrote in a comment to a previous post on blogging several years ago: “You know that someone has run out of things to say when they start blogging about blogging.” It is quite possible that…

One of the biggest differences between an academic and a business career is the importance of writing and publishing. In business, a CV (Curriculum Vitae) will generally emphasize a person’s career history and work experience, including key professional achievements and education. Business resumes are typically no longer than two pages. In academia, the CVs will…

Blogging has continued to play a central role in my life since I started this blog in May of 2005. It is something that I think about a lot every week. First, I need to plan what to write about, as well as how to best organize whatever subject I settle on. Then there are…

I started this blog in May of 2005. Over the next year, I found the experience of writing a blog so exciting and interesting that I posted several entries on my thoughts about blogging the following August and December, and then again in May of 2006. One of the comments I got on this May…
