Apple’s highly anticipated iPad is being called by many as a “game changer.” And let’s face it, media needs a revolution. As an undergrad jorno major, and a Parson’s GD alum, I can’t wait to see (and be a part of) the future of media. Monocle Weekly has an amazing podcast segment on many of the questions that we should be engaged in now both as consumers and as design professionals:
The Monocle weekly podcast #44 (1/31/10)
“This week Tyler Brûlé and the team talk to Joshua Cooper Ramo, managing director of Kissinger Associates, to discover the mood at the World Economic Forum in Davos, before embarking on a media debate with Dr Mario García, CEO of García Media, about whether Apple’s new iPad device is really set to change the way we consume news.”
I would love to see Parsons and indeed all of Newschool be at the forefront of this discussion. How to design for future media…how to lead the industry…how to create the future for media and information rather than waiting for it to get here. Would the school consider a timely, live forum to help us grasp the future landscape of media? Better yet, a series. With participation from high level Apple folks, NYT, our excellent faculty. Explore possibilities, realities, and just hear some enlightened thinking on this game changer. This is a great chance to fortify Parsons as the place where new ideas thrive.
