David Danto argues that we, as an industry, must maintain a focus on the future, while weeding out the nostalgia blooms of the past.
The fall 2023 edition of Collaboration Today and Tomorrow acknowledges that there’s really no “today.” Like the old joke states, “now” has already passed and become the past, and the next “now” has bitten the dust, as well. As an industry, we have to focus on our tomorrows because they’ll quickly become yesterdays…memories…ghosts. Our industry, like most, must be future-ready and hyper focused on actionable strategies for tomorrow because of how quickly it gets here. But we can’t forget what happened yesterday because — well you know…. It’s that thingy we learned in high school about how history repeats itself.
