I have rehearsed this scenario before, but try to imagine we live in a world where printed media had not been invented, and our only source of information and entertainment was the Internet.

And then someone came up with a really smart idea, and gathered together a group of really clever people, got them to sift through the mass of information that’s freely available in digital form, decide what’s important and what’s not, what you can trust and what you can’t, and put it all together in a thing called a newspaper, which can be delivered to your very home.

 

It’s portable, it’s not dependent on a wireless connection and, for many, there is also an intrinsic pleasure in turning over the pages. I posit this idea not to promote the virtue of newspapers, but to illustrate my growing feeling that one of the most prized - and undervalued - commodities in the modern world is curation.
