Innovation. Experiment. A community for SmartThings builders. Values of the Creative Class. The rise of the Creative Class is reflected in powerful and significant shifts in values, norms and attitudes.
Although these changes are still in process and certainly not fully played out, a number of key trends have been discerned by researchers who study values, and I have seen them displayed in my field research across the United States.

The Evolution of Display: Change Is Here, For Good. The first banner ad to run on the web – AT&T’s “You Will” campaign.
It asked “Have you ever clicked your mouse right here?” The answer turned out to be “You Will…for a while. Then, not so much.” Earlier this year I wrote a long post about the “death of display,” since then, I’ve consistently been asked about it, and in particular, to expand on my thoughts around display advertising economics, and the prospects for what might broadly be termed “independent creators of content,” or what I call “the independent web.” Now, I love this topic, as many of you know. Here’s that previous post, boiled down to bulleted form: * The model of “boxes and rectangles” – the display banner – is failing to fully support traditional “content” sites beyond a handful of exceptions. Online Training: 5 Takeaways from a Social Learning Experiment.
