Evil supergeniuses (genii?) and millionare industrialists collide.
The First Iron Man trailer is out. And I finally picked up Soon I Will Become Invincible, Austin Grossman excellent supervillain magnum opus.
(Incidentally, the name Dr Impossible was MINE! Should I destroy him for his insolence?)
All this cyborgery (the main hero in SIWBI is a half-robot lady 'Fatale") got my supercomputer brain thinking.
What bits of the traditional creative business can be replaced by technology?
I see via fast company that this website can replace your direct agency by allowing you to create and send out mailers via a handy web interface.
Not even the bullet proof Copywriter is safe from the march of technology!
Should we be threatened?
Or should we instead view these as enhancements?
Like Matt Jones's vison of extending the senses of parcour artistes, can we view social networks as extensions of our central nervous systems?
Is the agency of the future a trendy office filled with fancy chairs and exotically-haired creatives:
Or one person sitting at the centre of an high-tech web of social networks, outsourced services and creativity?
A one-man agency.
A one-man agency dedicated to evil?
A one-man agency that WOULD RULE YOU ALL!
...I should probably get out the house.
