What’s Different
Given the opportunity, people will choose to design and manage their own experiences.
People value expertise but reject authority.
People will gravitate toward institutions that help them design and manage their own experiences — with advice not prescriptions.

Preserve the Institution
Consensus in 1995: “Roll the Presses”
“With few exceptions, virtually everyone agrees that new media is merely a supplement to the traditional print paper.”

Buried in the ReportPeople want more choice and control in how they receive their news.
People want greater interaction with journalists and each other.

Why?
What’s driving people’s demand for choice, control and the ability to interact with others?
Why do people reject the authority of institutional decision makers?

One Generation Ago
People willingly conformed their lives to the time, place and rules of institutions.
We gave awards to those who best conformed.

Creating Tensions between Old and New
Students aren’t bored in school because schools lack bells and whistles.
Students are bored because they lack control. That’s a recipe for disaster.
