It reminds me a little of social media. Too many people see success buzzing around social media, for example, and assume that media created the success. The success is the result of people being willing to embrace new ideas, try things in new ways, and have a strategy for creating results. As long as WV is willing to consider new ideas and strategically adapt them to our world, I think we are on the right track. I've found the new economy and creative communities concepts to be incredibly refreshing. I hope we keep moving in that direction!
