from Commerce and Culture · host Paul A. Cantor

Cantor had never played a video game, so he had to work through those. He sees that this is where things are going.Ignoring the migration of media can lead to a lot of problems and make you pessimistic. It is commercial culture that develops the new media.

Bureaucratic organizations are the worst.Lecture 10 of 10 from Paul Cantor's Commerce and Culture.
