Welcome! I'm Tom Fishman. I live in Queens, NY, USA. I like to write and think about ideas at the intersection of social media, art, design, business, culture and the human condition. No big deal.
The Daily Beast does a good job listing ten employment areas poised for growth. Note that every single one of them requires a knowledge of design, networks, or code. If I could give the kids one piece of advice for the future: know design, networks, or code and you will always be gainfully employed.
I have long said that print magazines, like vinyl records and film, will eventually become a niche indulgence for those inclined to pay a premium for the sensory experiences unique to analog media. News of a price hike for print mags is even less surprising on the heels of reports as to where magazine conglomerates are placing their bets on the future of mainstream content consumption.
