Part of the reason that enrollment levels for higher education continue to fall may reflect that many of us "are locating educational opportunities every day in short spurts, online or face to face, and for hundreds of dollars or at no cost."

Ruth Cuadra on 21 Apr 14

The repopulating of urban areas is certainly a trend that will affect museums. But do you agree that the government should end the mortgage interest deduction because focus is shifting from suburbs to cities? Don't people who buy condos in cities benefit from the same deduction as those buying houses in the suburbs?

A job for the future: London's School of Life offers the help of "bibliotherapists" who can help you decide what kinds of books you should be reading. Maybe a "museuotherapist" can help visitors decide what parts of the museum they should spent their time on.

Are you a Segmentor or an Integrator? They may be carving out too big a universe of questions to explore, but it's interesting that Google is looking to produce the equivalent of the Framingham Heart Study on work-life issues.

It it shocking to see stats that say Califonia has 11,000 full-time and 28,000 part time employees n the Arts & Cultural Sector, but more than 155,000 volunteers and interns. No wonder there are no jobs -- people are willing to work in museums and cultural orgs for free. What do we do for our fellow professionals?

A cautionary tale...I saw lots of references to this on blogs I track in Feedly. Thought my brother-in-law should know about it since he works in electrical engineering. Tracked down the source to Kickstarter. It's an idea -- and probably a good one -- but not real yet.

What's needed...is a lot more public debate about the risks of inaction. "Risk is something we all understand in our daily lives...and if people were to think more about the risk of inaction, we think they would be more inclined to take action." How can museums help move the conversation forward?

The new device reroutes sound waves to create the impression that both the cloak and anything beneath it are not there...holds potential for architectural acoustics. -- I would love to see a way for museums to create cones of silence so that viewing objects can be shielded from the sound bleed of videos, noisy interactives, and maybe even people!
