We Can’t Even Imagine What’s Going to Be Next -- After the second year of the Spanish Flu epidemic (1919), there were several technologies which became the “norm” vs the “now.” Home radio became a usual tech. Programming on radio was a new medium, but the “voice” of the people expanded further than ever before. The automobile became more than just a hobby... marketing turned it into an opportunity politically as well as within transportation. Effectively, things which were not even imagined before that pandemic became a normal affair afterwards. So much about what we think is normal will change over the coming years. A lot of it hasn’t been imagined yet. But, to get there, we might need to pursue skills which might today be overlooked. How flexible do we see ourselves?
