Museum of the Future
Doing my standing exercises while listening to public radio allowed me to start my day thinking about something I didn’t know before I stood on one leg for thirty seconds.
Someone who is worth several billion dollars started a new media publication—for the digital age. I’m not certain whether I was stunned by how one amasses that much money or how the “old fashioned” paper will one day be a museum relic.
Of note—a recent book tells a story about a relationship that grows out of emails. Not so long ago another book told a story about a relationship forged through letters between a bookstore owner and a discerning reader.
I expect the museum of the future will contain artifacts that will include letters—meanwhile I should write a letter to the one person I know who refuses to succumb to the allure of quick notes as text or email.
