Once a Week Episode #225
1. THE GREAT TECH BIFURCATION. BEN THOMPSON
"The physical and digital worlds are bifurcating, and this is happening to tech as well." While the blurring of the physical and digital worlds is still new, the tech bifurcation is not, "the pattern has happened twice before, and in each case the seeds of the next era were planted, usually by incumbents, while the previous era stagnated. And, in every case, the transition was marked by a reduction in lock-in and the devolvement of increasing amounts of autonomy to the individual user.
2. FIGHTING ISOLATION. PETER WILSON
"Frome, a small city in England, has taken an innovative approach to mental health with its fight against loneliness." It's being replicated in cities around the world.
3. THE RISE OF GHOST KITCHENS. CORINNE WATSON
"Ghost kitchens have been around in varying forms for years and share some DNA with the commissary kitchens that have aided caterers and bakeries for decades. Essentially, they are restaurant kitchens entirely detached from restaurants."
4. JESUS CHRIST APPLIES FOR VP OF STUDENT SUCCESS. JENNIE YOUNG & RYAN C. MARTIN
5. JUST FOR EXPLORATION. FINDING FURY. SCOTT SPORTS
