QUOTE

"Steve Jobs has done more Cool Stuff than anybody else in Silicon Valley. . . . one of his success secrets is loading every development team with artists and historians and poets and musicians and dramatists. He says he wants to bring to bear, on each project, the best of human cultural accomplishment. So how come schools don't get it? Budget crunch? First programs to be cut? Art and Music. I say the hell with the math budget [I really don't mean that.] Let's enhance the art budget and inflate the music budget. Training in Creativity is important, in general. But it is absolutely essential in this Age of Intangibles and Intellectual Capital."
