I think that creativity & innovation can be incorporated into any job, and that is our collective challenge. We need to get as many people up the creativity ladder as possible, and the good news is there's lots of room at the top. Creativity, like knowledge, has no limits unlike physical capital. Richard Florida has been stressing this for several years. http://www.jarche.com/2009/12/embracing-complexity-at-work/ Thanks for connecting & all the best for the new year @mrch0mp3rs :-) Thanks, Aaron.

I just want to put that out there in front, because the rest of this comment might sound like a criticism, and really I'm just restless about what comes next. What about people whose work is highly dependent on repetition and imitation? To say that "learning and becoming knowledge-able are now basic requirements for every worker," I mean, that's always been the case, right? I think you might be positing that this is a constant state, rather than a phase. I don't know that I'd agree with that position. Marcia Connor forwarded a TED video with Mike Rowe from the Discovery show "Dirty Jobs" -- really highlighted a point about how much of our lives depend on people who do the same thing, the same way, everyday. There's probably no collaboration for line workers putting together our cell phones, but repeated, harmonious and synchronized coordination -- I'd bet a lot more of the world depends on that. Like I said, I'm with you -- I'm focused on the however many percent of us provide the creativity and innovation to drive us all forward. I look at some of the ways things didn't work out as we might've hoped (Twitter's impact in Iran's Elections, as one example) -- and wonder how we're going to get better at closing the knowing/doing space. Happy new year, Harold. I've really enjoyed following you this year and I hope to connect more with you in 2010. I’m with you.
