I participate on an seminar entitled " Beyond Digital ", hosted by ITRI -- Creative Lab and operated by NEXT , they invited Nicolas Negroponte and his associates -- Ishii, water to Taipei and present the " MIT Media Lab update " to people in the industry. as this is a " invited only ' " For CEO " session, so, I have a hungry to learn and know, last night, I took chance to browse the Media Lab site and check a few of their working project, which is so interesting, I bought the " Being Digital " days ago and try to understand what's in Nicolas's mind, he is a very brilliant person, I may upset him when asking if he drinks Evian still after publishing the book, anyway, this is an interesting encounter as well. a few people ( include me ) surprise to see Maurice show up; Chairman of TSCM, The heavy weight in town, the gray hair prove that knowledge and experience were equip with him; the seminar was divided into 2 parts, presentation and panel discussion, the run-down wasn't design very well and I don't think they ever conduct rehearsal before; Speech delivered by Nicolas was great, his " Dog " and " Human " finger point metaphor and " Manager is a terrible killer to creativity " attract people; ishii-san give us a vivid and near live presentation showing how " Things that Thinks ' consortium works, I like his logic and the idea of " learning / thinking like child ' approach to creativity approach. panel wasn’t very successful, John is knowledgeable but can't beat the fox like Nicolas, Mr. Wang too limited to the industry and world of pragmatic which put off the creative light when the dialogue began, Chairperson and host organization Mr. Shun forget that they invited more than 50 CEO in the ball room but did provide any vehicle for the speaker to communicate directly with audience --- this turn out to be a " show " between ITRI and MIT Media Lab, we were invited to the silent movie. Maurice was asked to delivered a few words in the final session, he said, he came for " take " not " giving " this time, but do share his insight about " Passion ", it's not the matter of ' passion " but " how to keep it "
I sat there for the afternoon, listen and carefully learning; went home earlier, this is a seldom chance for me to be home before the sun goes down, doing homework with 2 kid until 9:30 pm, but manger to watch DVD " The life of David Gale " with my wife, this is a great movie, full of dramatic story line, I love Kevin Spacey and admire Alan Parker.
