In our last podcast episode, we asked the question as to why so many media companies refuse to get with the times and continue to embrace a business model that’s over 80 years old. I was suddenly inspired to write my thoughts on that . . . so now I am.

Just because something was successful 25 years ago, doesn’t mean that it needs to be remade or revisited. Are you listening to me, George Lucas?

I’ve written before how I love Star Trek above nearly all other sci-fi shows. I’ve always loved the characters, the stories, but most of all I’ve loved the tech. Part of it was that it never seemed too fantastic or out of reach. It always made dreaming about a future in a spaceship that ... Comment - Like
