"I read Playboy for the articles"

Yes, I read the Playboy for the highly stimulating articles. The same way women wear 4 inches high Manolo Blaniks because they're confortable and great to walk in the countryside.

"I read Playboy for the articles": Justifying and Rationalizing Questionable Preferences" - A very interesting paper from the Harvard Business School .

Or as Rory Sutherland (Ogilvy UK) stated before: "Man, many scientists now believe, may not really be a rational animal but a post-rationalising animal."

The Era of the "Experts"

"Western culture assumes that a responsible individual will defer to the opinion of an expert (...) Experts have the last word on topics of public interest and increasingly on matters to do with people's private affairs. We are advised to seek and heed to advice of a bewildering chorus of personal experts -- parenting specialists, life coaches, relationship gurus, super-nannies and sex therapists, to name a few -- who apparently possess the authority to tell us how to live our lives."

"Food for thought"

"I definitely think we're different now. Our attention spans are shorter and we think we can answer every question immediately - thank you, Google and Wikipedia."
-- Douglas Coupland, The Sunday Times, 13.09.09

When do conversations start?

“Customers take longer to find a solution than we think. Companies tend to focus on their initial contact with customers, believing that shoppers’ experience with a product or service begins when they walk into a store or visit a Web site.

In fact, their journey begins much, much earlier. The easy availability of information on the Internet today allows customers to form opinions from countless sources. Conversations on Facebook, e-mail, and discussion boards steer consumers well before companies have had a chance to pitch their product or service."

"Food for thought"

"We hire from a generation of people, younger than me, who understand the way the world is currently configured and want to be the first people to create an app or redesign something rather than just get a 30-second film out of the building shot by the latest director."
-- Laurence Green, Fallon London

"We Live in Public"

Our morning rituals have changed.

We no longer go to the loo for our morning wee-wee. We go straight to Facebook to update our life and spy the other's.

And all because we "live in public" and suffer from compulsive connectivity.
